Hey jsm,

just a little observation i made the other day regarding that problem with the folders being inaccessible. I still havent gotten around to that reformat, but after a minor virus problem, i had to run norton. I observed that the scan was able to read all of the rom files in my folders that "don't exist." It even had your undo.bat, so I at least know that part worked... lol. Anyway, just found it odd that norton antivirus was able to still scan those files so i thought i would pass the info on to you.

Hi,

Im noticed that the Good Tool renames the files, and can give very long names to roms. I tried to ftp the rom names to the xbox, but the very long names aren't uploaded at all. Is there a way to preserve the long names and upload them correctly? I use Flashfxp.

nope no way...

I've made a program tough that prepares filenames for xbox-format names, I didn't want to rename all my roms and mp3s manually, I have thousand of them....

Hi,

Thanks for your reply! Is it possible to share the tool you made?

Thanks!

What exactly is the xbox file naming standard? It appears that commas aren't allowed along with a file name of a certain length. If someone knows the exact specs for naming please post them. I'd like to write my own program, I need the practice

please mail to: got it!

Thanks!!!

Here :

XRename
Version 2.0

Well I wrote this utility to rename files with long filenames (more than 32
chars) or that had a ',' a '+' or a '-' cause we all know that files with names like that can't be sent to your xbox right? I mean I wasn't going to check all my 2000 mp3's for those special chars and rename them one by one.

Version 1.0 - Replaces ',' '+' and '-' with a space and cuts file names to 32 chars but keeps extension. Creates a Undo.bat just run it to get old file names back.

Version 2.0 - Same as above, alot of code was redone, plus alot of bugs fixed : would run on nt and xp only, would fuck up with filenames that had two or more '.', would just delete undo if run twice.
