What do we do when we upgrade to a newer version of an xport emu like Neogenesis or HugoX, and all we see is a black background and have no background music accompanying our menu? The only folder I have under <D:\> is my roms folder. Everything else the emu came with is in the D: directory. I doubt that setting is correct because when I try to reconfigure using the menu, it doens't see any files, just the roms folder. I also went ahead and deleted the .ini's in the E:Saves folder on my xbox but that didn't do anything. What am I doing wrong here? Please help if you can or at least point me in the right direction. I read the readme's on the Xport site, been thru many xbox emu forums and I can't find crap on this. Everyone says just run the .xbe and it'll all work out.
Things to try:
1) navigate through the menus to configuration->general configuration->force reload of *.ini
Then exit back to your dashboard and launch the emulator again.
2) using the menus and skin configuration options, you can point the emulator to the proper background screens to load up. You'll have to fix each screen, but xport's emulators are pretty easy to browse through files and the default skin has names of files that are easy to figure out. It's something like this:
configuration->configure skin->select game select background image->browse til you find gameselbg.png
configuration->configure skin->select main menu image->browse til you find mainmnu.png
(sorry I can't provide exact filenames or menu options here-I'm nowhere near an xbox)
It's not that much work, and I've salvaged an install this way before.
3) boot into your MS dashboard, go to your save games, and delete everything for the emulator causing you trouble, provided you can locate it. If not, tell us exactly which emulator is causing the problem and we'll dig up the UDATA\xxxxxxxx folder the config stuff is saved in, which you can then delete. It wouldn't be a bad idea to delete the emulator install and re-upload it again so you'll be starting completely fresh.
That's about all I can think of.
