Hey guys,

I did setup Final Burn Legends just for CPS2 and CPS1 only, configured every single game, adjusted controls, etc etc, and everything is PERFECT on my very own setup.

So, I decided to share it with a neighbor friend. Then I did copy the full FBL directory to a DVD and give to him. After he did copy to his Xbox HDD, the emulator does not run. It just presents a FBL screen saying something is wrong with the emulator.

My first thought was to check the TDATA and UDATA stuff, since I have NOT included any TDATA and UDATA files on the DVD copy. However... Checking through the XBMC Game Saves feature I can see 3 Final Burn Legends saves in my TDATA (Maybe from my previous tests with FBL 1.0, 2.0, etc).

Inspecting there directories THROUGH FILE MANAGER I find out nothing. They are empty. The only ones who contains anything are the correspondent directories in the UDATA folder... They have those "same 3 files" that CoinOPS have on its UDATA stuff.

What could have been wrong here?
I really need to share FBL with MY CUSTOM instalation...
(Screensizes, controls, etc)

Hey Waal,

The configuration themselves (screensize and controller for each game) is easily "share-able", I can even post a ZIP archive with all INI files for each game, no problem.

But my real problem is how to share the Final Burn Legends FULL BUILD (with roms, with all installed) witha friend. I am missing something here.

Maybe if I share the full build WITHOUT the FINALBURNLEGENDS.INI file?
I know this file is created ON THE FLY, so, maybe it worths a try.

Thanks guys!

Maybe when you copied it to the DVD some file length's changed?

Did you try a fresh install of the full build from scratch?

ie, install v1, then overwrite with each subsequent version after that.
Then to give him your "config" of each game, just copy your ini files of each game
(from config-ini folder) to your friends config-ini folder once all that is done.

Pretty sure you may have to install from v1.0 upwards to v1.3.
(or 1.3.5, lol)

Yes, that would be the forum rules on game piracy.
