IMPORTANT NOTES
===============
AutoBoot Games
--------------
This allows people to configure a CD/DVD such that when it boots, it will boot
directly into the specified game.
If you place a file called BOOT.INI in the same directory as your DEFAULT.XBE, then
the filename specified in that file will be automatically loaded upon startup.
Similarly, if you place BOOT.KEY and BOOT.STG in the same directory, then the
controller configuration (BOOT.KEY) and settings (BOOT.STG) will be used if none
already exist for the game specified in BOOT.INI. Create these boot.key and boot.stg
files from the existing configuration files for a particular game in the
E:\SAVES\<emulator> directory.
Sample BOOT.INI contents:
d:\gamename.zip
Gamebase V3/V4
--------------
Overwrite the DAT files in the GAMEBASE subdirectory with the DAT files
located inside gamebase_v3_dats.zip.
Please note that if you are upgrading from an existing V2 (as was included
in the original versions of Vice64X) then you will have to re-convert your
screenshots because V3 changed some of the game filenames. Follow the
instructions located further down in this readme to convert your gamebase
screenshots and to configure gamebase in general.
It looks like Gamebase will have a v4 sometime next month. The instructions
for how to convert it into XBOX compatible DAT files are located in the
subdirectory CONVERT_NEW_GAMEBASE. See the README.TXT file in that
directory for details.
Special note for Gamebase V4 and any future Gamebase versions
-------------------------------------------------------------
As of V4, the gamebase screenshots have all been converted to PNG files,
which makes the gif2png.exe program unnecessary. You still need to run the
gb64_xboxrename.exe program to rename your screenshot files, but you
should delete the gif2png.exe file before running it since it is not needed.
