I tried to test this but It doesn't work for me.

Just like it happens with nxe2god the application just refuses to start.

I have freeboot in a cygnoed falcon xbox. Am I missing some patching step or something?

Best regards,

Jur.

You have to be running XBREBOOT, Freeboot won't work with either program.

I had the same problem with my Cygnos, so I am now running xbreboot on it and everything just works.

I found the problem with XM360 0.4 not discovering my demos: the archive-bit of the directories must not be set on the harddisk!
That solved the problem.
Nice program... Hope to see some game-pictures in the future.
greetings,

greetings,

how do you mean 'archive-bit'?  How do I change/set this?

Is anybody else having problems with FTP'ing. I can ftp to my 360 but when I create folders, I can't put anything in them... The transfer always fails.

Even in Windows systems, files and directories have attributes like read-only, hidden... One of them in archive (possibly "ready for archiving" in XP). You can change them in file properties, access them with a right click.

I have one small problem at the moment, the not locating around 15 of my arcades games(all in the original folder from downloading from xbl), so it cannot unlock them. Any tip to help solve this

[Midnight Tboy]

Ah well my archive bits weren't set anyway so that wasn't my issue.

I've finally finished transferring a boat load of stuff to the main hdd, so I'll reassemble that and then in a bit put another xbla game into the relevant folder at same time to see if its picked up this time round.


I'm just wondering though.  I was about to try 'scraping' for the updates.  I see you need perl installing.

looking here http://www.perl.org/get.html  which version of perl is it I need to get?  Strawberry Perl?

Also.... when it does scrape the MS site for xbla title info, does it get all countries xbla titles, or just USA specific?  As theres a couple of titles if I'm thinking right, that you can get in US that you can't in the UK, and presumably vice versa?

[Midnight Tboy]

hmmm nope thats not it - ok - I need to do some searching  how do I create a perl script lol

---

tried on the offchance copying the perl.exe from the strawberry perl installer and its dll to the folder and then running it - but get the error

Can't locate strict.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:\strawberry\perl\vendor\lib .)
at scrapeMS.pl line 2.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at scrapeMS.pl line 2.

guess I'm going totally the wrong way about it

tried Kodu Game Lab but it won't unlock or show up?  Is that not compatable I take it with xm360?

[dietz]

I have a few suggestions that are easy to do I guess:

1. Add a filter that shows all Arcade titles found but not on the csv list.

2. Divide the ranking by 4, so it shows the score like on the xbox website. (20 = 20/4 = 5 out of 5)

3. When sorting on ranking, show the best titles on top. Also consider the amount of votes.
    When 2 games have same score, then the game with most votes will be the 'better' one.

It's not on the csv list, so it won't show up and therefor can't be unlocked in XM360. (see my point 1.)

[Midnight Tboy]

In XM360 - with nearly all demos on the 360 hdd, it says there are 296 files.

But in the xbox dashboard it says there are 271 and in the csv there are 276 files?  Any idea how to find out where the extra 20 are from?  Could it be addon packs or something?  Tried to browse through but can't see anything obvious

[node21]

Couple of answers:

Use active-state perl.  I didn't try with strawberry (but it should work).  Follow the README.  For now, it is hardcoded to go after the US marketplace...it might be simple to change the script, though.

The part where you "Scan" and then "Unlock" never looks at the scraped database...everything that is found is able to be unlocked...assuming it passed the internal tests of being an XBLA title.

I'm busy working on a version that scales so non-1080 360s can play too.

[Midnight Tboy]

cheers - downloading active perl to try now

What I mean with within xm360 though....is that xm360 finds about 20 MORE 'xbla' titles than the 360 main dashboard even discovers...not the other way round.  and thats with nothing held on the usb hdd.  Surely then there should be an equal amount showing on the main dashboard?

The work you guys are doing is great keep it up this is nice. But to be quite honest. Why not jus add this stuff to normal dash? Im sure it isnt that "easy" but theres not much wrong with the dash that couldnt be tweeked.
    Layouts colors,buttons all at your disposal. Jus add these programs as Apps. You guys are talented and could do better with a big head start like the stock dash. Thats all im saying think about it
