TU are on Partition 3 in the Cache folder

QUOTE(FrostyWolf @ May 31 2010, 11:48 AM)

Isn't that the same thing as the HDD? I thought there are three partitions on the HDD, 1 for TU, 1 for the emulator and the 3rd for everything else?

 USB MU's are multipartitioned FATX (Most of which act as one logical parttition) that seem to coexist on Fat32 - (I suspect there's header info in there too) to my knowlege , Why they thought it was a good idea to give the cache it's own partition I will never be sure (Perhaps it's got something to do with the use-less slider option thingy you can 'manage' it with. I've had loads of probs with these new USBMU's If you have one in when you try to mount a drive on, oh let's say x360 commander (Not he only app btw) you might find you MU wiped!! It kept happening to me earlier and took me a while to figure-out what it was (I initialy blamed Freeboot and rebuilt it several times   ) On the bright side though I have since figured-out how to have a 320gb USB HDD formatted as (16gb USBMU, 100gb NTFS and the rest FAT32 all on the one drive!!) I will let you all know how it goes (I'm sure it's only a matter of time before something happens and the bubble is burst on this one, but for now it's working

@Node21!!!

EDIT: OK now I feel like an idiot - I've edited this incase anyone else makes the same mistakes I have (Not likely)

Can you please include a way to define which adapter you want to listen on for the server app. (I have a couple and it only wants to listen to my wireless internet?? Or have I missed something. EDIT:It connects anyway

Also do I have to define any host settings in the xbox's .cfg?? EDIT: Yes define server as another Xbox (Don't know how I overlooked that one)
 I'm also wondering does XM360 need DNS settings intact to connect for either FTP or NTP??
EDIT: I still havent tested this one but I strongly suspect the answer is no.
(I usually have mine set to manual 0.0.0.0 to garuntee no XBL connections ,Yes I'm aware about the family setting thing but you never know ....)
EDIT: I get now that when you define for exsample USB0: as C:\XM360_Server\USB that it will mirro directories there (where do they go If you don't have the source defined?) I'm still not sure what the content setting in the server's.cfg so I left my confusing original question in below:

'And lastly, in the server's .cfg you mention defining a content directory, can you explain this a little better ie; Do you mean that it's a content directory pooled from xb360 pushs from any drive or that it's a definition of how you want info stored within each C:\USB\ or C:\HDD1\  directories? OR do you mean (and this ones a long shot) the directory to search on the 360's drive for pushs from 360 side(Eg; instead of 360dashit\0000 content\00000 etc.. I know it's not likely what you mean but there's some debate/conjecture going on at my place so i'm obliged to ask ;-) OR Do you mean take for eg; Get Content from 360's USB and Cache from 360's HDD1 etc..(That's what I want to do)??Also why do you have USB mapped to temps in your exsample?? Sorry if my questions themselves are a little confusing, perhaps if you could just include a exsample scenario for server to 360 FTP directory mapping. '

 Thanks again in advance for ur help m8, Keen to get the server running as it will make my life easier... Dan

EDIT: Oh yeah can you add a send all to remote or get all? (Based on filter settings which would be nice if profiled by drive)

[danthaman673]

Sorry about the multiple posts ppl but I really thought I had more time to finish editing...

I've noticed a couple of issues (Nothing to major, just thought I'd mention them though)

1. Server windows appears not to update stats instead it just re-draws title screen and scrolls (All stats being nulls) Could it be something to do with me leaving content category undefined??
2. Attempting to backup TU during push stalls transfer (Suprise,suprise - I know this sort of thing will crash most apps, given the features and ur short dev time it's amazingly robust I just thought I'd let u know as it brings me to my next 'issue')
3. Can TU's be syncd with other 360/server?? Maybe a 'Cache2 sync' from the front page which could be locked during transfer(The front page, that is) to prevent stuff like above, would be cool.
4. Does the server assign the space for the file before the transfer is complete (I'm wondering if corrupt files from power-outage or whatever are indentifiable by size) - Would it be possible to have a verify file option if that's the case??


Otherwise looking good.... Sorry again for spaming the forums folks..

[veekay]

Might it be possible in the future to perhaps write something that will fix the DLC filenames on the PC? I love the feature on the program, but like to keep copies of everything locally and it would save having to transfer, fix filenames and transfer back.

"Be sure to define hdd1: in xm360server.cfg before using it."  Not sure what this means or how to do it. I can open config files in notepad? but thats all I know.   This can be done thru my router right?   Ive noticed many rockband songs I play say they are missing.

Yes open with notepad and then give it somewhere to deposit stuff from your hdd1: on your PC eg :

CODE

DEFINE_HDD1 = C:\XM360_Server\Hdd1
DEFINE_USB0 = C:\XM360_Server\USB

You only need to define the Hdd1 to get it going, I've just pasted from my .cfg (allthough the drive letter has been changed) to give you an idea

PS: OH yeah, and your router shouldn't come into it (Generally speaking) depending on where you have it in your configuration, Just configure your P.C and your Xbox (Make sure all the network settings are working and XBL is blocked in family settings) Don't forget to put your P.C's IP addrs in your XM360 .cfg (as another Xbox, just use the 'bedroom' template)

All the xbox does is make a folder with the allocated space you picked using the slider split into chunks in it.  The slider is so you can pick how much space you want to use on a HDD that already has data on it with out destroying that data. It makes a FATX Multi partition drive image, splits it into chunks to get around FAT32 file size limitations, and stores them in a folder on the USB drive.  It's pretty much the only way they could do it with out making you have to reformat the device.  I used a 2TB drive for a while that had 16GB reserved for the 360, the rest was FSD and all my games, and it worked fine.  The only reason I stopped using it was I got a 250 gig HDD to put on the box and didn't need the 16gb on the 2TB anymore.  Theres no reason you should run into problems.

I would like to request the ability to do a txt export of the DLC filenames / title names as well.

I am attempting to complete a collection of Lips content, and find it relatively difficult to index what content I currently have given the currently available tools without manually typing.

If there is another app that already has that functionality, I'd gladly use that if someone can point me in the right direction, otherwise it would be a feature I'd be grateful for in xm360.

I'm not sure what you are asking.  Have you played with the "Report" button on the DLC screen in xm360?  What is missing from the generated report that you want to know?

Hi!

First, i´m from Austria...so sorry for my bad english.

Don´t know if this question was asked before. Do you plan to include a feature to resign/rehash savegames?

Might be great for me and a lot of other people.

[veekay]

I know I plan for another donation once a feature is there to backup multiple saves at once  (a PC based renamer would be great too)

Part of the problem with donations is people usually dislike paying for things they can have for free, but then if you made the program cost money people would be upset about that and just crack it.  No real way to win except when the product is just so good that people want development to continue

I know personally I use Freestyle most of the time, but use XM360 for all transfers and managing of the files/saves since nothing else compares to the feature set.  

Maybe throw in a "credits" section with donators and people might like to see their names on a program.  

[evanescence]

Ok node21...thx...i´ve now read the whole topic.

Consaver is a programm to resign savegames. Or modio and so on. Sry that i can´t help you with the source code....maybe you´ve better connections to the programmers.

[veekay]

I'm sure that will pick up eventually - of course there is always the option of doing some custom coding jobs individually if people wanted things tweaked out a little bit.  Does paypal still offer the little buttons that have like Donate $1 Donate $5 etc?  I'm sure even putting a little Donate $1 button might make it easier for someone to just click on and donate.

I know this program saves me time, I have one of the missing DLC reports open on my other monitor while I try and fill all the missings.  

Certainly don't get discouraged - the main thing is making sure you enjoying adding onto the program.  If it becomes too much of a "job" and not enough of a hobby then it might be time to step back for a while.  One way or another I'd think the experience alone should be very helpful and making a name for yourself in the process.  Keep up the good work!

[joliverio]

I have a Jtag console with XM360 1.5c installed. My friend did to me, I didn't follow his steps.  

How to upgrade my console to the newer version 1.6b? I want to learn by myself from now onwards  

Thanks in advance!

@node21

can you tell how XM is determining what is missing in DLC/XBLA lists ?

i have wolfenstein 3d - in report it looks like:
Wolfenstein 3D (584109CB),2009/06/03,0,0     Hdd1:\Content\0000000000000000\584109CB\000D0000\469A76F8B9BA2E9B8EB02B3B17C21AAF4C74124E58

in missing: is
Wolfenstein 3D (584109a7),2009/06/03,17,6151

missing is by name ? diectory or filename ?

it is possible to have the same button "fix directories / filename" like in DLC ?

XLBA is matched by titleID, and nothing else.

wolfenstein is one of the very very few titles that has at least two different title IDs.  The titleID that you have isn't the one the is scraped from the MS site.  So, either mark it as ignore, or add it manually to the xbla_titles.csv.  If you are in the practice of generating your own xbla_titles.csv by running the scraper, then I suggest editting the scraper to always include the version of wolfenstein that you have, if this bothers you.

It isn't possible to "fix" the files, since there is nothing "wrong" with them.
