Where you guys put the "Roms" directory?  the emulator cant find any roms even if I put them in main HDD0 folder...
Thanks

This thread is full of lulz. Heres a few things I've been noticing as of late..

1) Acheivements
Ok so yeah.. Shouldn't have em in homebrew, But they are funny.. Don't use your live profile on your XBR system nimrod..

2) Yoshihiro...
Faggot Thief Liar Cheater.All around scene hopping douche bag. He was thrown out of the xbox scene once before don't let him back in...

3) Complaints..

Don't complain about the shit.. If its not your cup of tea don't use it dumbass.

4) Your live profiles.

[12:05] <@anonymous> any homebrew xex thats built with a title id is obviously not registered on live
[12:05] <@anonymous> so its a fucking red flag right there

Your profile does keep track of things like XeXMenu and Homebrew... If you get banned it's your fault for being a dipshit.

You realize that just by running the XeX your profile will end up flagged, right?

Stop complaining about homebrew features. If you're running homebrew on your profile/xbox you want to stay 'legit' you're already in trouble. Achievements aren't going to make this any worse, it's not hard to track.

I think they should add more achievements for some of the more popular games.. this is part of what goes into making 360Homebrew Unique & Special.

It will also give some people a reason to even play the games again.

Then maybe down the line imagine a "JTAG LIVE" a whole new Online Gaming Community.

So even though it doesn't show up in my recently played games, it is still noted? I did not realize this. Can someone provide some proof on this? Not that I don't believe you, but I don't want ot base anything on assumptions (of course, assuming that is obviously safer).

Yeah, something like Xlink Kai...that would be cool.

When you run homebrew with achievements, It saves them to your profile. When you take this profile on xbox live, every single game has a specific title id which is stored on the xbox live server. Everytime you connect to xbox live, it checks your profile for any new achievements, and uploads them. The homebrew achievements do not get uploaded because they are not tied to a specific title id. However, xbox live does see that there is some new achievements, it just doesn't do anything with them, which is why when you recover your gamertag, all of the homebrew achievements are gone.

I honestly still don't see how they could ban consoles for this. One thing we know about microsoft is when they ban consoles, they are accurate. You never get banned for no reason. They gather alot of evidence before they ban you, and i don't see this as being enough evidence to prove that the xbox you are on is modified. Reading the drive firmware to detect iXtreme, that's proof (if that's how they actually do it). Seeing your gamerscore go from 1,000 to 100,000 in 10 minutes (among other changes that are easily detectable), that's proof. But again, homebrew achievements could have came from a friends hdd put on your xbox. Assuming the xbox you are going on live with really isn't modified, then i can't see how they would ban you for that.

I've switched the same live profile between my banned uncrippled xbox and my jtag with jtag achievements all while getting achievements for backup games. I've done so for about 3 months now, and i haven't been banned.

That didn't answer my question: Do games that don't show up in your recent;y played games and don't have achievements show in any way on your profile. There are ussers in this thread that say they do, but I believe that to be false.

Yes they do.

As stated before, I am looking for proof of this, not just assumptions. I can't find any evidence (with my LIMITED knowledge) that there is any evidence in the way GTs are currently handled of them containing data about demos played.

So can anyone provide real evidence, versus speculation?

It would be way easier just to use 1 profile for online and 1 for homebrew. Teach ur kids,wifes, dogs, cats,birds,mice,snakes,grandparents to notice the difference.
And all homebrew should have homebrew achievements. Just for the hell of it and because we can.
Homebrew and LIVE dont mix, so dont mix them.
I never knew pirates where such cry babies.  
BOO HOO achevos will get my gamerscore reset.

I never knew pirates were such drama queens.

Look, everyone here who doesn't want achievements is making constructive suggestions. Everyone with your attitude is stating the obvious. I already know I can use 2 different profiles, but I don't want to do that. As for kids and a wife, when you get married, you'll understand.

For the millionth time, I'm just not using this great piece of software, as are many other people, because of the achievements. If the author doesn't want to get rid of the achievements and make the emulator a "demo," that is fine by me. We're just making suggestions. What would you propose we talk about here if not suggestions.

I propose we talk about actual bugs, glitches, errors. Or  custom skins, music, or other nice features to add on that's not included. Not the fear of getting Banned by MS or getting there gamerscore reset. I'm pretty sure the creator obviously doesn't care about Live or issues of using profiles back and forth because it wasn't designed that way. Homebrew isnt designed to be Live safe or friendly.
 
There is always Genesis360 or SMS360.

When SNES360 was released there wasn't so many complaints(suggestions) about achievements. It was more help and actual suggestions on how it runs, where to put emulators, etc . Alot of thanks, great jobs and people looking forward to new releases. Homebrew achevos is like a kick in the balls to MS. A big FU, lol.
 But i do understand the fear of ruining ur gamerscore. I worked hard on my gamerscore myself  And i would hate to see it reset by MS also. But i take the extra precaution not to let that happen, as should others.
But lets not discourage these homebrew creators. Im pretty sure he thought these achievements where funny as hell and that many people would enjoy it.

It's not speculation, and it's not hard.
Load a homebrew program and get an achievemnt.
Extract the profile file from the hdd and do a search in a hex editor (unicode) for any achievement for that game, and it's there.

Alternatively, download the vairous achievement unlocking programs out there and load your profile in that.

We're talking about releases as "demos," not games. Thus, there are NO achievements, and no data displayed in the recent games field.

Good point, and I apologize for carrying on this one element for so long. Nothing said was meant to devalue the software itself, it is excellent. I will drop the subject so that further discussion on other topics can be made.
