What happens if you try to create a rumble in 480p or 720p?

Same thing, I thought of that earlier and it made no difference.  As far as editing existing rumbles, it seems to give me the same problems there too; maybe saving bad data over the existing or something.

How are you launching it? Through what dash? Are you launching games through the command line? Have you tried launching ZsnexBox through UnleashX? I'm not really sure what the issue is because it's not happening for me and doesn't appear to be affecting anyone else.

Just launching through XBMC.  Not using any scripts or anything fancy.     Don't know of anything "unusual" I'm doing.  Sigh

Is there anything on your X,Y,Z partitions or your E:\Cache folder? If so, delete whatever is there. Also delete the save through the XBOX save game manager.

Delete or rename your E:\ZsnexBox so a new one is created. Don't launch the default.xbe from where it is. Put it somewhere else (like E:\ZSNESTEST) because there may be some elusive bug in path reading.

Put a few ROMS in the roms folder. Try it through Unleashx at 480p and don't edit the path.ini. Don't use any previews. Don't use any of the rumbles I included. Make a rumble from scratch. Don't turn the cheat on that you use as the source of the rumble, don't use any other cheats, and don't change any of the default settings. Also, don't use Super mario Kart for this test. Use something simpler like Castlevania and make a rumble for losing energy.

Now, as soon as you create the rumble, exit the rumble menu. That's when it saves. Go back into the rumble menu. Is it still there? If it is, exit the emulator completely and see if it is still there the next time you start. This is about as atomic as it gets, so I'd like to know if it works this way.  

If it all fails in this way, repeat the above except change the savepartition to F and then to G. That's about all I can think of to test this. If it works in the above scenario you can start slowly adding a peice back at a time to figure out exactly what the problem is.

Was the path.ini changed?


from SavePartition=E
to Sav=E

Can't seem to get the Rumble Feature to work, even though I re - named my rom exactly the way the rumble file is named.

Did you put the rumble files in the ZsnexBox\rumble directory? It doesn't read them from the "extras\rumble" folder.

Well that explains everything, Do you have to create the directory or is it already there?

Either way. You can go ahead and copy the rumble folder in the extras folder to your E:\ZsnexBox directory or you can run the emulator once and it will create the rumble folder. You then copy the rmb files inside the extras\rumble folder to the E:\ZsnexBox\rumble folder.

Seems to work fine now, The only problem I have is that on Mortal Kombat 2, only the computer inflicts rumble, I haven't tried rumble with any other games yet so i'll post as soon is I can.

That's because I only made one rumble for MK2 (and for all the other games). It's "rumble when  player 1 loses enrgy". If you want other rumbles you'll have to make them for whatever you want them for.

Ah thats what was confusing me and maybe others I thought the extras\rumble directory was all you needed. Maybe in the next build you can just include an empty rumble folder in the root directory of znexbox. If you haven't already last version i tried it wasn't there. Thanks for the info, now i can try your rumbles out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Well I tried everything you said, (launch from UnleashX start with fresh zsnexbox setup, 3 roms, different save partitions etc) and nothing changed.  You say that once I go in and adjust a rumble then exit the rumble menu that the rmb file is created.  This is not the case.  All I have been doing is simply launching a game, and exiting it 1-2 seconds later, and the file is created.  Beyond that, I even went through and made settings for all 10 rumbles on a game, and it "saved" the settings as they were there when I restarted the emu, but as far as the rmb file goes, its still showed:

1
0

Instead of the default/blank setting of

0
0

For the other games I went in and immediately exited.  The only step I didn't take that you said was to delete the game save for zsnexbox.  I searched and searched and could not find one.  What is the actual save game location and name so I can try to find it manually?  Maybe this is the problem?
