Does this actually exist?

And you should put all the menu stuff into it's own xml file Menu.xml

change to <SkinsPath>e:\mxmskins</SkinsPath>

Make sure your videos are named MXM_SS.WMV.  if they are all lower case, try renaming them to uppercase.

You will need to rename twice to change case, 1st time something completely different, 2nd time the MXM_SS.WMV.  

Unless you never had them named that way in which you will only need to rename once.

Then reset the menu cache (Y Button) and reboot.

I never understood why this is necessary.

because that is the filename MXM looks for, what more is there to understand?

okay, after screwing around with it for a while i finally got it to work. but i've still got a problem...in my emulators section, i cannot get xNESx to show. the only way i've gotten it to load is to set 'remove duplicate entries to No' in the automenu. and also, my mxm seems to run slow. is this normal? here is my menu.xml:

Well, because you only specify the media and title for the item.  Not the location of the xbe itself.

CODE

xSNESx
SNES
F:\Emu\xsnesx\default.xbe
e:\mediaxmenu\mxm videos\emulators\xsnes9x.wmv


e:\MediaXMenu\MXM Thumbs\Emulators\xsnes.png


Compare this item to yours, and you should notice you never specified anything in the <exe> tag...

In the system menu (hit "Y"), look through the menu options, you should be able to remove bad items, aswell as dupes, and such.

so i MUST have the default.xbe for the specified file on my xbox? becuase when i goto the config automenu and set 'remove bad items to NO' all of my files do show up. however, when i do that i get an extra MISC menu along with the others.

now the reason that some of my games/apps don't have any xbe's yet is because i'm not putting them on my xbox as of yet. is there a way around this? is this a MUST? should i just make 'dummy' files on my box with the default.xbe's there?

thanks for helping me out. i really appreciate it.
