Hi, all.

I've got a few questions for you about MXM.

1.  In the Menu.xml file posted below, will it work without the <SUBMENU> element?  I've seen dozens of Menu.xml posted here, and all of them use the SUBMENU.  The DVD I"m burning only has two exes on it, so it seems like direct menu links would be more practical.

2.  If I am launching an EXE from a DVD, is D:\ the right drive letter?  In other words, would the Menu.xml below launch the EXES, assuming I have the executable paths entered right?

3.  Where can I get some preview movies, thumbnails and skins?  As far as I know, these are legal files, so I can ask about them.  If I am wrong, please let me know and I will edit this post.

<Menu>
   <Submenu>
      <Title>Games</Title>
      <SortField>Title</SortField>
      <Item>
         <Title>Metal Slug 3</Title>
         <Description>Metal Slug 3</Description>
         <Exe>D:\MetalSlug3\default.xbe</Exe>
      </Item>
      <Item>
         <Title>MVP Baseball 2004</Title>
         <Description>MVP Baseball 2004</Description>
         <Exe>D:\MVP\default.xbe</Exe>
      </Item>

   </Submenu>
</Menu>

Thanks,
Gassy

<Menu>
<Submenu>
<Title>Games</Title>
<SortField>Title</SortField>
<AutoDir flatten="True">F:\Games</AutoDir>
<Item>
<Title>Gentoox</Title>
<Description>Xbox Linux</Description>
<Exe>E:\gentooxx.xbe</Exe>

</Submenu>
</Menu>

It works for me.

1, Yes, remove the <submenu> and </submenu> tags and it should work fine with the two items in the root menu.

2, Erm, not sure, I've not used MXM as a disc launcher, instead as a dashboard.

3, http://www.allxboxskins.com or http://www.xbox-skins.net have skins. Not sure about the other media, but I think it's legal so don't worry about editting your post.

Flattspott, I don't think you're answering the question he's asking.

What are you talking about, I typed up my xml section and said yes it works.

Although, as you said this is in the case of dashboard mode, not DVD.

Ah, finally home from work.  Thanks for the input, guys.

 Sorry, I thought he was looking for menu.xml code with two exes listed in the root menu, not a submenu, and I didn't think your posted code matched that. But I guess you were trying to demonstrate something else. No worries.
