Ok ya wanna make an XboX Multidisk Game.....here is what i been using for my UnleashX multidisks(since 0.26.0.119A)
.Password protected Multidisks(3 failed tries and it will shut down the xbox,set it to what ever ya want,this doc its set to "a" ya kids will just luv ta hate ya now
)
.2 game preview windows,1 for game movie while the other displays a still pic of the game(im just browsing the game folders on my drive/disk b4 i make em lookin for the movies with in the games emselves with Unleash(ed)X's built in filemanager(as u can watch them with it to select a good 1))and renamin them to preview.xmv or if there wmv then name it to preview.wmv and add em to the same path as the default.xbe,if they r not in the game itself or not in the right format then i goto xwx.gametrailers.com and grab em from there.
.Screensaver.
.Game,apps icon support
.Using the inbuild filemanager with the xbe patcher/renamer to copy games to the drive
.Skined filemanager
.Full Reboot
.Gameover(power off the xbox)
ok now for the setup,all im doin is using the dash the same way i would if it was on the xbox(but lookin at D:\Games or D:\Skins etc instead)...ok once u have all ur game files(including preview vid's etc)
-- Make 4 folders,1 called "UnleashX Multidisk"(call it what u will),inside that folder make 1 folder for "Skins",1 for"Games" and the other 1 called Icons(sounds hard so far
)
-- Now get ur game folders and name them the same as the games names(so u no for later when u use the filemanager what folder has what game)and copy them into the "Games" folder(so when u open the games folder u will c ur games in the own folders with the correct names,and make sure u have preview.xmv or preview.wmv in the first folder of the game itself,where the default.xbe is and not to exceed 4.3GB)
-- Now go copy all ur menu icons into the "Icons" folder and name them accordinly(e.g.ETRAY.png = close dvd tray,OTRAY.png = open dvd tray,FMBG.png = i think u get the idea).
-- Now for the skins folder,same as normal,place ur skin(s)into the Skins" folder and happy dayz,we almost dun(remember to place a skin in there thats supports video preview/game/icon etc... or it will not work(i will post further down my config.xml and skin.xml)
-- Now get ur skin.xml and put this in its place(and of course u can edit it to ur liking,im just showing what needs to be in there for the preview stuff to work)
Skin.xml:
ok this is where all the magic happens
as u can c in
Yellow this is the disk password setup,3 strikes and ur out
in
Bold Underline must be the correct name of the skin u r using or ur skin will not show
in
Redi have the main menu setup,there is a games section which goz to a submenu displayin all the games(with preview support
just gotta luv this dash)section to goto the filemanager(skined)and copy the games to ya drive(Password Protected of course,dun want the littlen's killin ya box now do we
(PLZ USE THE FILEMANAGER AT UR OWN RISK,U CAN DELETE FILES ETC WITH IT AND KILL UR XBOX!!!)Full Reboot of the xbox or just power it off(click on "Game Over" damn im lazy:P )
--ok as u can c i have a tag for each of the menu selections to show a preview icon(e.g. CTRAY.png).U dun have to have ne of course im just showin what go'z where(i dun really use em myself))
--Now that we have ur skin,all the game folders(with ur preview.xmv or .wmv in the main folder of each game) in the "Games" folder(making sure to keep the disk size under 4.3GB) and all ur icons(.png files)named correctly and placed in the "icons" folder we r all set to burn..... soooooooooo
Setting up the disk in RecordNowDX4.6:
--First make sure u have the "games","Skins" and "Icons" folders in the Multidisk folder with the default.xbe and config.xml aswell(thats right "default.xbe"not UnleashX.xbe(just rename it to default.xbe)).
-- Open RecordNowDX 4.6(close the wizard if it pops up)and select the forth icon from the left,the "data" icon.
-- In the new window right click on the screen and select "Add Files and Folders" and browse to the "Unleash(ed)X Multidisk folder we made b4(or what ever ya called it) and click on 1 of the folder and hold "CTRL" and hit"a" on the keyboard(ctrl+a= select all)and click O.K,u should now have ur default.xbe,config.xml,"Games","Skins" and ur "Icons" folders in the main window of RecordNow(goin frm the top to bottom(not in that order of course)).
-- Click on the "options" icon and in the new window in the "DvD Section",in "recording type" select "Track at Once(TAO)"Closed and in"File System Type" select "UDF-upto 128 in filename lengh,any char,,plus 8 + 3 tree(bridge) and O.K
--Now pop in a DvDr or DvD RW and set speed to 1x(2x max) click on the
Red circle(the burn icon)and go have a smoke while its burnin,u have erned it lol,in about an 30mins to an hour(depending on the burnin speed and size of the Multidisk)u should have a fully workin UnleashX Multidisk with the allabove features(providing i explained it right and u configered everything correctly),now that wasnt to hard was it lol,the more u do the quicker u will become and the more u will end up changin the design etc of ur disk,its all good and all part of the fun,i hope some1 out there will find this of some use as i did,well its 7:14am here in aussie so im outta here for a few,if ne 1 see's ne mistakes etc in this doc plz PM me and i will correct it asap.
