It's 86MB in size.

Even if someone were willing to e-mail it to you, your mail server would never accept it.

Predictable loads numerous times! Enough to make me sure!

So when multiple skins are in the MXM folder, MXM seems to mix them up from time to time. When the skin the user wants is the ONLY skin in the MXM folder, that skin loads up reliably. Unfortunately, why this occurs only BJ can determine. Note, this stable loading occurred without the use of <LoadSkin>, so I'm pretty certain it will work with it.

But I'm pretty happy the issue has found a workaround. Thank you Crash N Burn for doing the testing that I couldn't do because my GF is hard at work trying to beat Shenmue II. At least I still have the computer though to program and stuff. Your work is appreciated.

I guess I'll just hope people get the msg in this post for the workaround, and/or post newer files with newer instructions at the Usual Places.

My testing is at your command LOL

. I'm glad I was able to help. I really don't see a reason why we (the people) couldn't use the default folder for here on out anyways . Like BJ said , safe mode is done internally and doesn't even touch outside files .
But just to be on the safe side I'm going to hold off putting out a skin or two until BJ says go for it or has found the solution to the prob. I don't don't want to step on anybodys foot.

For that being said , GOOD MOURNING (7:10 am here)...... Now I'm off to go Jet Skiing (Splashdown) for a couple of hrs and RELAX ..............

Having all of the video clips for every game will just increase the experience of MXM and blow away the competition.

I found a lot of wmv clips of games with google to bad not all games have a wmv somwhere on the net hope some one make wmv`s and put it on a website/ftpserver.
I hope to see more of those movies that plays on the background(genCORE.wmv in generator skin)so we can easy replace them to have more variation.

And to get not offtopic : i will going to give this util a try soon as i have the time for it.

first off StrongBad, sick skin man but for some reason GeneratorSkinV2 doesn't recognise MXM_SS.wmv to be a default video to play if I put it in the game directory. The safemode skins recocnises it but not Generator. Anyone eles have this problem?

Thanks! Well, it's odd that you see that sort of problem. Personally, I keep all my previews in a single directory and point each item to a preview movie using the <media> tag. I have never used the auto MXM_SS.wmv way, but when my xbox is free later today, I'll give it a shot for some testing. I'll get back to you on it.

Anybody else having this problem?

StrongBad · « **Reply #27 on:** May 11, 2003, 02:02:00 PM »

Okay, Bravo, I spent some time today messing around with MXM_SS auto previews.

This feature does work with Generator Skin. Just remember that when adding MXM_SS.wmv previews to game/application directories, you must reset the menu cache in order for MXM to pick it up and see it. The menu cache exists to aid MXM in loading times, but is unaware of any changes. So press the back button on your controller to pull up the system menu for MXM and choose the option to 'Reset Menu Cache' then reboot. Alternatively, you can log in to your Xbox and delete the file named 'cache_menu.xml' then reboot.

Hope this helps, let me know.
