I had menuX working perfectly off my HD to launch my games. I had exoX 1.8.458 on evoX bios 2.2. I just copied the default.xbe to my e:\games folder. Then I copied the menuX folder to e:\games. Rebooted to evoX, menuX showed up in my games menu, started it and was able start all my games!! I had no idea it wasn't supposed to work. I even copied their backdir.xbe into my halo/xdemos and was able to leave halo by calling the demos, no reboot! I proceeded to change the skin and background music and also installed evoX 1.8.259. Somewhere along the way, menuX stopped working. The menu still, but when launching games, some hang and some go back to evoX. I've tried setting everything back the way I had it before with no luck. While looking over the readme again, I noticed I had never copied redir.xbe along with default.xbe. But that doesn't help either. Tried putting full paths to my games in the config, no luck. So I came to the forum looking for help and I see that nobody ever got it to work on the HD in the first place??
The only thing I do know at this point is that I had it working absolutely had it working from my HD for a while, I have witnesses, so it must be possible!
