Within /E:/TDATA/0face007/ there is a file called system.bin

It contains all settings you have made in xbmp. It will be re-created next time you start xbmp and make adjustments to any settings.

Recommend by Devs to remove when upgrading to new point or cvs release  wink.gif

too bad it still can't read xvid files.
never worked on mine.
the rest does fine i think.
i've tried vcd's and new divx files and worked like a charm.
but still have some problem with some files, can't remember if they were xvid or not.

actually, it can read Xvid files. I have a download of 8Mile DVD screener in Xvid and it plays perfect fine, it looks like an actual DVD. Maybe theres something wrong with the file you chose to try?

How can so may people not get CDDA to work? There nothing to configure. You put a retail audio cd into the xbox dvd drive then selete CDDA. It takes a few seconds to load the cd and then the tracks show up.

Okay, my fault, I'm dumb.  I forgot to update my boot "evoxdash.xbe" on the c: drive when I updated everything else.  Cdda plays now, not the greatest, but I realize this is the first try.  Now how long till we have cddb?  Should be almost as easy as getting imdb to work, right?

Ok, I had XBMP 2.3, and I upgraded to 2.4 (not the latest build). However I never deleted the oface007 dirs. I noticed that now in my launch apps screen the 2.3 version is in red text and cannot be launched. If I want to go and reinstall 2.4 should I deleted both versions and the oface dirs? Is there anything else I should delete to clean it up?
