Problems With Roms Tranfer
« on: August 14, 2010, 03:26:00 PM »
Hello,

I have Problems with transfering some roms from PC to Xbox via ftp.
SNES roms for example ... I can Transfer all roms from 0-T ... U-Z cant be transfered and I dont know why.
I had an Xbox years ago an as I remember right the transfer was without errors.

Why do I have now problems??? Megadrive roms ... cant be transfered ... PC-Engine the same ...
NES, Mastersystem and the other are working without a problem for transfering.


thx alot

If you're putting them all in one dir, try splitting them across several directories instead :)

What dashboard are you running when you attempt to transfer the roms?

You should really copy and paste the names of some of the files that won't transfer across, so we can see what the problem is. Fat-X, the XBox file system, isn't as powerful as FAT-32 or NTFS, which Windows uses.

There are at least three differences between what the XBox can use for a filename and what Windows uses:

1. Filenames can be very long for Windows, but are much shorter for the XBox, If you try to copy a file with too long a name onto the XBox then the XBox won't let you, even though the file works fine on a Windows PC.

2. Filenames on the XBox cannot contain some of the characters that they can on Windows. If you try to copy a file with one or more of these characters in the file's name onto the XBox then the XBox won't let you, even though the file works fine on a Windows PC.

3. You can only have so many files in a directory on the XBox, and this sounds like it might be your problem, although any of these three points might be your problem.
