I didn't include the roms I used for obvious reason

I'll explain how to edit the file.

Open AutoNav.htm in any editor (notepad is enough

). In the red rectangle, you'll need as many "btnAutoNav_focus" and "btnAutoNav_nofocus" as you button number +2 (to include the "verify" and the "launch" button). So if you have 5 roms, you need 7 "btnAutoNav_focus" and 7 "btnAutoNav_nofocus".

Step 1:

In the step 2 image, you'll have to copy the red block in the first "<table>" as many time as you have roms you want to load. Here's the block:

QUOTE

The character in bold are what you need to modify. All the "0" have to be the same number and every button always increase this number by one. In the setcookie section, replace the "1942.zip" by your rom filename. And replace "1942 (JU) [!].zip" by the name you want to see on the button.

Step 2:

For the final step, it's similar to the step 2. You just need to update the number from the 2 last cell (the "Verify" and "Launch" button" to the number after your last rom's button. Exemple: if your last rom's button have the number 24, change the launch button numbers to 25 and the verify button numbers to 26.

Step 3:

I know this is hard for some of you, but I'll try to work on something this week to make this all automatic (no edition at all). But for now, enjoy it as it is

I can see this in my 360, but after I select the game I just get a box with a red X and the xbox controls listing below that. I have the most up to date version of java on my machine. Basic questions, but where should my rom file be relative to everything else? Do I leave it in the zip file or just have the .nes file there? thanks for any help.

Your folders tree should look like that with the emulator and my rom selector:

in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\Media Center\Media Center Programs:

("SDK Sample Pages" is optional, you need "Browse_Xbox-Scene.MCL" to check a box (see the first post of this thread)

in the "nes" folder:

You can leave the roms inside their zip files and they have to be in the "roms" folder (see screenshot 2)

Oh, and I forgot to write how to use the selector -__- You have to click (press A or the button OK on the remote) to select the roms, then click on Launch. Here's another screenshot of the loader:

Thanks, I did have some issues with that. Now I realize the bigger issue though. I don't have the nes.mcl file. The link in the first post of this thread just gives me a .rar with a .nes file in it. Where should I be getting that file? thanks

Um... it's in there. There's the nes.mcl file and the nes folder in the rar file. You might not see the .mcl extension if you have the options in Windows set to not show extensions for known file types.

BoomDivx - Excellent work !!!

Got it now. For some reason ExtractNow which I've always used for .rar files was only pulling that one file. I downloaded another program and I got all of the files that were in there. Works like a charm now. thanks for your help and work.

BoomDivX, AWESOME man. Great job. I was hoping someone would beat me to it. I'm getting very close to getting PotatoMulti built in and will update a version with your selector when I'm finished. I'm working with the developers to get a stable version that will support these consoles: Nintendo NES/Famicom, Nintendo Game Boy/Game Boy Color, NEC TurboGrafx-16/PC-Engine, Coleco Colecovision, Sega Master System, Sega Game Gear and Sega Genesis/Megadrive, and they just got NEO GEO working so this should be bad ass.

I dont think sound is ever going to work. I was looking though the restrictions on the Extender Functions and one of the developers posted this: DirectX will not render, and the display will only update 3 to 5 fps,
and there might be some lag from the remote session. sound effects don't work. From here:
MSDN Page

I'm pretty sure we are getting better than 3 to 5 fps... Mine looks really good.

I was also thinking we could combine the selector and the main nes page into one. Then add a keypress.js file to detect when someone presses "P" or "R" and have a DHTML fly out menu that get's focus, select the game and launch, post back to an iframe or something and put focus back on the java applet. P and R are the two buttons for the click "down" on the two sticks. Those are hardcoded letters that MS set for those buttons. What do you think?

Anyway, I'll keep you guys up to date on Potato... Great job again, Boom..

Well I can't get xbox-scene forums to not change "M i c r o s o f t" to "MS" so you will have to change that once you click the link.

Hi. it does't run on my german MCE and it wasn't show in the MCE-More Programs so i change the folder name to this: C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All Users\Startmenü\Programme\Zubehör\Media Center\Media Center-Programme In this folder are the extracted files from the rar archive.

Now it is shown in MCE-More Programs, but it didn't run. The pic in where the emu run is still white. The menu ist still shown. The same ist on xbox360 MC. It ist shown, but runs like in the MCE.

If i copy the nes emu on my desktop and run it, it still works fine.

What ist this?

Sorry but my englisch is not the best, so i hope you can follw my words.

I dont think you have Java 1.5 installed.

Is there any chance you'd share?

And BoomDivX, thanks a ton. But for some reason the background of my selector screen is white and there is no highlight to select roms. I only edited the file enough to put the roms in so I don't know what's wrong. I am in 1080i mode, so maybe that has something to do with it. I'll switch to 480p and see if it helps.

It's probably a CSS problem. Be sure you have gold.css and autonav.js in your NES folder. If they're there, check just before your first rom button if you see this line:

Roms selector

The first line sets all the color in the page.
