Please do not ask for ROMs as they are quite easy to find (Google - "Nes Roms"). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
DOWNLOAD RAR: http://www.yourfilelink.com/get.php?fid=58730
INSTALL:
You will need to extract the rar into C:Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\Media Center\Media Center Programs\ on your media center box. It took a bit for the icon to show up under More Programs but it finally will.
NOTES: Sound is not functioning, Media Center 2005 is required. If it locks up you will need to run something that warns you that it is a web page and check the box that says "Dont show this again". Once you do that it should run fine. I created an MCL that just went to Google and then checked that box. I've also attached an image with the mapping of the Xbox Controller to the corresponding keyboard keys.

I think I can get a GEN and TG16 version of PotatoEmu working as well if I can figure out how to not have the splash screen (It requires a left mouse click to start)

i had the same problem
you have to select the menu more programs by pressing (A) in the main menu
and it should appear
but when it loads it runs slow and sometimes i get a connection failure so im guessing it is wireless
im going to hardwire and try see if it improves
and it isnt legal after 24 hours of having the rom

that emulator as always been slow. the xbox isnt relly emulating anything your pc is.
Exactly, thats why we are talking about processors on the media center. I realize this isn't native emulation "on" the xbox but it does work. I get about 95% framerate wich is perfectly playable. I think if I had a better processor I would get a perfect framerate. Might be as close as you will get for a while and with the key mappings to the xbox controller, its pretty seamless. Did you try it?

If you don't own the cartridge, you don't own the rom, and therefore you are not legally allowed to have it.

Hello, I was wondering do you have to have the MCE remote to check the box that comes up, because I cant check it with my controller.
Its probably locked up and thats why you can't click it. Use this MCL to check the box and then it shouldn't show up again.

i see the legal issues of roms and emulators a lot in here and over at digitpress.com. What I've learned is that it's ok to have the emulators and roms as long as the hardware or games are no longer readily available. This isn't "word of mouth" from a guy that knows a guy. this is straight from the DMCA of 1998. The Library of Congress amended the DMCA in 2003 to make an exemption for video games and computer software that was considered obsolete.
Here is a summary of the exemption from the US government's copyright website....
(3) Computer programs and video games distributed in formats that have become obsolete and which require the original media or hardware as a condition of access. A format shall be considered obsolete if the machine or system necessary to render perceptible a work stored in that format is no longer manufactured or is no longer reasonably available in the commercial marketplace.
I don't see Nintendo and Atari running out to prosecute us twenty-somethings for getting a Contra-itch every once in a while. The only question left to interpretation is who decides what is "reasonable available"? I don't see any Nintendo systems rolling off the assembly lines so I would assume you're safe to store them on your home PC.
Personally, I collect old games so chances are good that I own the game (several times over in some cases). I'm not trying to argue wether I'm for or against emus and roms. I would just like to know if anyone else has any hard information to refute the DMCA exemption.

The Library of Congress has recently granted copyright exemptions in the Digital Millenium Act to obsolete games. The exemption applies to games that require the original hardware as a condition of access, and if the game is no longer manufactured or reasonably available in the commercial marketplace. This means that old, unsupported PC, console and arcade games will now be legal to own (so your illegal copy of Mame roms are now legit). The only muddy side is if publishers consider their old games to be reasonably available and plan to release classic games as bundles or bonuses, then the copyright protection still stands.
Nintendo Revolution will run NES , SNES , N64 Gamecube and Revolution games , so that makes it illegal to have a copy of the game without owning the original one or buying it from the Revolution Marketplace.

Where did you find this in the DMCA? I'm searching through http://www.copyright...lation/dmca.pdf but i don't see it anywhere. I did find it in http://www.copyright...ommendation.pdf but this is just a recommendation for how to rule on these issues, I don't think it is law, at least not yet. But please, correct me if I'm wrong, and tell me where to find it.
edit*
-I did find the section that discusses this, sorry for the confusion: http://www.copyright...atement_01.html lists the "final rule that sets out four classes of works that will be subject to exemptions for the next three years from the statute's prohibition against circumvention of technology that effectively controls access to a copyrighted work. This is the second time that I have issued such a rule, which the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) requires that I do every three years. These exemptions expire after three years, unless proponents prove their case once again."
-It sounds like we do need to check and make sure this is still the case as it will expire this October unless it is renewed. The 2000 and 2003 rulings on this are listed at http://www.copyright.gov/1201/ and the 2006 will no doubt be listed there eventually as well.
-But similar to what I stated below, I think as long as you fill your drive up with roms before these exemptions expire then you are okay.

I wonder if you fill your hard drive with NES, SNES, and N64 games before they start coming out for the Revolution if you will be excused via ex post facto, it wasn't illegal when you originally stored them. Once you've downloaded all of the roms legally, you shouldn't be responsible for researching every day to make sure the roms aren't commerically available.

Read the first post. You need to create another .mcl file that just links to a site like google and then you can check that box. I posted a link to an .mcl (That you put in the same locations) that will browse the xbox-scene homepage and allow you to check the box. I think it's on page 2.

Hey Xexter, how did you get the emu to run in MC? I would like to know so that I can put different programs into MC.
Basically the NESCafe Java Application is embeded in an HTML file that is then linked to a .MCL file that Media Center reads and displays. (It wasn't rocket science) The Big deal was finding out what xbox controller buttons map to what keyboard keys when you press them. I included the Xbox Controller Map so everyone would know what keys were mapped in the emulator as well as what buttons press what keys. People should be able to use it in other apps, sites, etc by sticking to that map.

The Rom selection list will need to be activated and then post back to the nes.htm page with the selection. If you can do it, by all means go for it.

Your LAN speed is going to be the big key for this to work. This is basically an RDP session to the media center box so it is sending video/keyboard commands to the media center. So it is having to send each paint of the window to the Xbox over the network...

You're absolutely right. The only counter I have for that argument is that Nintendo only released a limited number of games (12, i think). Other less popular titles (Lifeforce, Shatterhand, etc.) were never released. I believe there are 525 titles for the original NES. My collection is right at 400 at the moment.
And Xexter, Colecovision rocks too! My son and I love the classics. great job on the controller map.

As for the legality comments, WHO CARES..This site has been good about keeping its members from giving illegal files or posting illegal sites. But lately (since the 360 came out) all these little kids (that's anyone under 16) have been flooding this site with stupid comments and annoying flaming. Honestly if you have nothing good say or something to contribute then don't say anything. There should be some type of filer to filter them out because its getting to much for the moderators.
Post by: IJTF_Cinder on March 27, 2006, 11:48:00 PM
Just because Nintendo decides to re-release games on a different platform, doesn't make those games magically exempt. They are not the original data, or the original form. You couldn't play them on a real NES for example.

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\Media Center\Media Center Programs
.http://www.yourfilel...t.php?fid=61794
I didn't include the roms I used for obvious reason
I'll explain how to edit the file.Open AutoNav.htm in any editor (notepad is enough
). In the red rectangle, you'll need as many "btnAutoNav_focus" and "btnAutoNav_nofocus" as you button number +2 (to include the "verify" and the "launch" button). So if you have 5 roms, you need 7 "btnAutoNav_focus" and 7 "btnAutoNav_nofocus".Step 1:
In the step 2 image, you'll have to copy the red block in the first "<table>" as many time as you have roms you want to load. Here's the block:
QUOTE
<tr><td>
<span id="item0" style="position:relative;" onfocus="setItemFocus(0);" onblur="clearItemFocus(0);" onclick="setCookie('NES_ROM', '1942.zip');return false">
<div id="content0" class="btnAutoNav_nofocus">1942 (JU) [!].zip</div>
</span>
</tr></td>
<span id="item0" style="position:relative;" onfocus="setItemFocus(0);" onblur="clearItemFocus(0);" onclick="setCookie('NES_ROM', '1942.zip');return false">
<div id="content0" class="btnAutoNav_nofocus">1942 (JU) [!].zip</div>
</span>
</tr></td>
The character in bold are what you need to modify. All the "0" have to be the same number and every button always increase this number by one. In the setcookie section, replace the "1942.zip" by your rom filename. And replace "1942 (JU) [!].zip" by the name you want to see on the button.
Step 2:
For the final step, it's similar to the step 2. You just need to update the number from the 2 last cell (the "Verify" and "Launch" button" to the number after your last rom's button. Exemple: if your last rom's button have the number 24, change the launch button numbers to 25 and the verify button numbers to 26.
Step 3:
I know this is hard for some of you, but I'll try to work on something this week to make this all automatic (no edition at all). But for now, enjoy it as it is

I can see this in my 360, but after I select the game I just get a box with a red X and the xbox controls listing below that. I have the most up to date version of java on my machine. Basic questions, but where should my rom file be relative to everything else? Do I leave it in the zip file or just have the .nes file there? thanks for any help.
Your folders tree should look like that with the emulator and my rom selector:
in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\Media Center\Media Center Programs:
("SDK Sample Pages" is optional, you need "Browse_Xbox-Scene.MCL" to check a box (see the first post of this thread)
in the "nes" folder:
You can leave the roms inside their zip files and they have to be in the "roms" folder (see screenshot 2)
Oh, and I forgot to write how to use the selector -__- You have to click (press A or the button OK on the remote) to select the roms, then click on Launch. Here's another screenshot of the loader:

Thanks, I did have some issues with that. Now I realize the bigger issue though. I don't have the nes.mcl file. The link in the first post of this thread just gives me a .rar with a .nes file in it. Where should I be getting that file? thanks
Um... it's in there. There's the nes.mcl file and the nes folder in the rar file. You might not see the .mcl extension if you have the options in Windows set to not show extensions for known file types.

I dont think sound is ever going to work. I was looking though the restrictions on the Extender Functions and one of the developers posted this: DirectX will not render, and the display will only update 3 to 5 fps,
and there might be some lag from the remote session. sound effects don't work. From here:
MSDN Page
I'm pretty sure we are getting better than 3 to 5 fps... Mine looks really good.
I was also thinking we could combine the selector and the main nes page into one. Then add a keypress.js file to detect when someone presses "P" or "R" and have a DHTML fly out menu that get's focus, select the game and launch, post back to an iframe or something and put focus back on the java applet. P and R are the two buttons for the click "down" on the two sticks. Those are hardcoded letters that MS set for those buttons. What do you think?
Anyway, I'll keep you guys up to date on Potato... Great job again, Boom..

And BoomDivX, thanks a ton. But for some reason the background of my selector screen is white and there is no highlight to select roms. I only edited the file enough to put the roms in so I don't know what's wrong. I am in 1080i mode, so maybe that has something to do with it. I'll switch to 480p and see if it helps.

It's probably a CSS problem. Be sure you have gold.css and autonav.js in your NES folder. If they're there, check just before your first rom button if you see this line:

Well, the files are there and that line is there.

D'oh! I found out what it was. I originally edited the AutoNav file with FrontPage on another PC and it must have automatically changed the first part of the code:

because it had the path set to H: (which was the letter of the drive I had mapped to that folder) instead of C:
User error. (compounded by FrontPage's misguided attempt to help me out by changing something I didn't ask it to change) Sorry about that.

Note: you do not need the previous version. This is complete.
CHANGES:
Created "Refresh Game List" Menu Item that runs a VBS file and will automaticlly create the list based off of what's in the ROMs directory. Once you run that function from the web page you will need to refresh it by going back and re-launching the page. You must arrow over and click open on both dialogs or this will not function. Once that runs, refresh the page and all the roms you have in /nes/roms/ will display and launch.
Added Select item --> Launch functions: You can now just select the rom you want to play and hit "A". This will load the selected rom into the emulator. If it doesn't load, just hit "A" again and it should. You can hit "B" while playing a game and it will take you back to the Game loader.
Changed NES Loader file: Added Credits to main MCL file to keep rom loader and applet page clean.
NOTE: This is not needed anymore but If you still want to edit the files manually, the only changes that are required now are:
<tr><td>
<span id="XXXXXXXXXXXXXX" class="btnAutoNav_nofocus" style="position:relative;" onfocus="setItemFocus(this);" onblur="clearItemFocus(this);" onclick="var tmpval = getCookie('NES_ROM'); setCookie('NES_ROM', 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXX'); clearItemFocus(document.getElementById(tmpval));return false">
<div id="content3" >XXXXXXXXXXXXX</div>
</span>
</tr></td>
Anywhere there are XXXXX needs the romname.zip. You do not have to mess with anything else as everything else is handled based off the rom name.

How fast is the media center machine that you are running it on? What about network bandwidth? These are crucial to this working correctly. Also make sure that the audio flag in the nes_mod.htm is set to false as audio does not work and can cause slowness.

Lol I almost did the same thing, but my version is gonna be a .exe that you can run from anywhere on the computer. I just need to clean the code a little, make the interface a little more user friendly then I'll release it tonight.
I also saw a little bug in my autonav.htm, nothing serious. If there's too many roms, the screen won't scroll. I'll post the update as soon as I'm done with it
*edit: forget that, the VB script does all that

yeah I think an EXE would still prompt twice to load it. I've been testing tonight and everything seems to be working well. The last file thing I would like to do is handle directory structures for roms, A-B, C-D, etc in the VB script...Scrolling was kind of a pain but it works!

) then it generates the autonav.htm file with all the roms contained in the roms folder sorted in alphabetical order. So if you want to update your list, just run the .exe from anywhere on your pc, specify the folder path, click the button and tadam And the list will stay as long as you don't run the .exe since it generates the html file each time. No need to run it each time.If you want it, I'll modify it a little to include the modification done by Xexter to fix the scrolling problem in my first version.

- Open nes.css in notepad.
- Find this using the search option:
CODE
/* Frames - Start */
- From there, you should see a block that looks like that:
QUOTE
#content {
padding: 0px;
position: relative;
left: 0px;
top: 0px;
height: 100%;
margin: 0px 2px;
background: transparent;
text-align: left; /* part 2 of 2 centering hack */
min-width: 390px;
width: 390px;
border: 0px;
z-index: 3;
}
padding: 0px;
position: relative;
left: 0px;
top: 0px;
height: 100%;
margin: 0px 2px;
background: transparent;
text-align: left; /* part 2 of 2 centering hack */
min-width: 390px;
width: 390px;
border: 0px;
z-index: 3;
}
Try to edit the number in bold to something bigger. The setting for the height is set to 100%, so you only need to modify the width and min-width of the window. If it works but there's only a small difference, you could try to modify the same setting as atrain987. in the nes_mod.htm, set the width and height to the biggest dimension your tv can handle, then fine tune it with the one in the nes.css file
Tell me if it works.

I think you have to edit the height and width in the APPLET tag. Where the rom is actually loaded in NES_mod.htm.

Yeah I've been looking into sound as well. MS has it locked down so that the only way to play audio is by using the PlayMedia() Api. This ticks me off as a remote desktop connection isn't locked down so if you RDP to your media center box and open our stuff in a normal browser, sound works! You are basically telling media center to play the file and it uses its built in engine for audio and video. The only thought would be to have Java have a transport stream using MP3/WMA and then have the page send a PlayMedia on that stream. I'm not sure about lag but this would be the only way this would work. Obviously this would require a code change on the Java side. NESCafe is opensource and you can download it if someone wants to take a crack at it...
We could also do something really cheesy and find mp3 audio of all the background music for the games, and send a playmedia() on those mp3's when that game is played.

Just to do it. I didnt think sound was going to be an issue at the time. I didn't find out that sound wasn't working until after the emulator was working. I actually dont even play NES games anymore, but I got the idea and was bored one Saturday. What was the point of reading through 8 pages on a forum to post that question?
It was also a proof of concept to show what could be done. You could embed Flash games, other Java Apps, pretty much any active X control and have it work on the 360 in your LIVING ROOM. All this from a 10 ft interface.

umm. all i have to say is. holy shit, thats alot of shit. but, i dont know about my attributes to media center because i just downloaded VMware and the media center dvd iso to run it on my computer, and the java confuses the hell out of me, so what i was asking is...is there a way to put my priorities from my computer to MCE? because if i have VMware running, it acts as a second computer, so i could afford to have all my bandwidth put to media center. i just have to get in the groove for these java emulators. its a brand new door to me. im just use to making emulators and editing roms, i never have worked with java.
ive looked at the emulators for the psp, and ive had the idea that if they can get a browser that runs java on the psp, and have the emulator in the games slot it could possibly work, its just an idea, ill have to work with it. also psp supports xml. mabey i could encrypt a file into the browser for certain roms. it might not match the game but it would have something playing in the background. once again just an idea
please give me your feedback. on both of the subjects.

Running MCE inside VMware is probably your problem. I'll bet you are maxing out the processor. I'm not sure what to tell you at this point. Maybe reinstall without using Vmware?
the only reason i have VMware is that i dont have the money to buy a whole nother computer to hav MCE on. im getting a portable hard drive soon and i could transfer VMware to that. that would help some wouldnt it? would adding frameskip help any? the psp roms lagged also but frameskip helped alot.

That won't help at all. The problem is not your hard drive, but your processor. VMWare is taking all your processor, leaving nothing to the emulator. Try to make a new partition on your current HD, install Media Center on it, then on boot, choose the one you want to run.

yeah, anytime i use media center i do it on boot. because thats just more crap running if i dont. ive ran a defrag, and tried to clear some space. but i havent used MCE in while ountill i can figure out how to stop the lag on it, sometimes when i start it up its really slow, and then it gets faster. i dunno, my CPU is shit.
ill just have to work on it. a new processor would help assloads wouldnt it?

Because my computer used to lag alot and hang some here and there. But that was because i didnt have enough RAM memory. I upgraded that and it was all good from then on.

Look for this line of code <param name="ROMFILE" value="/roms/tet.zip" />
test.zip is a Tetris rom , this would normally be the game you talk about starting up all the time.

Actually you dont have to do that anymore, if you download the latest version from page 8 it will automatically generate the list and allow you to run the games on click from the list.

I've attached a link to a version of NESCafe that works through Media Center on the Xbox 360. This is currently setup to run at 480p (Widescreen). You can edit the nes.htm file if it does not fit correctly on your screen. I haven't found a way to add a menu for the roms list so you will have to edit the nes.htm and change <param name="ROMFILE" value="/roms/whateverrom.zip" /> to whatever Nes rom you want to play. I've included a Public Domain rom for testing but have verified Zelda1-2, Excitebike, and TecmoBowl and all worked.
Please do not ask for ROMs as they are quite easy to find (Google - "Nes Roms").
DOWNLOAD RAR: http://www.yourfilel...t.php?fid=58730
INSTALL:
You will need to extract the rar into C:Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\Media Center\Media Center Programs\ on your media center box. It took a bit for the icon to show up under More Programs but it finally will.
NOTES: Sound is not functioning, Media Center 2005 is required. If it locks up you will need to run something that warns you that it is a web page and check the box that says "Dont show this again". Once you do that it should run fine. I created an MCL that just went to Google and then checked that box. I've also attached an image with the mapping of the Xbox Controller to the corresponding keyboard keys.

this is brill and i got the one with the menu but is there any chance of a snes emulator i would do it my self if i new how but ye good work m8

Excellent work my friend. Is there anyway to automatically have it refresh each time it starts? I use this emulator sometimes but its mostly for my mom and her love for tetris. She doesn't really know anything about computers and everytime something pops up, she asks me what to do. Would be cool if it would refresh automatically. Still a great job man.

You could have a scheduled task setup in windows (on the media center) that runs the process.vbs every 5 minutes or so. That way when a new rom is added to the folder, 5 minutes later it shows up in the list...
Thats the best I can do with the restrictions in place.

no games show up in the rom list

I placed the file folder in "\All Users.WINDOWS\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\Media Center\Media Center Programs"
with in that folder
"Nes_Emulator" with containing file "NES.mcl" file
then inside nes_emu folder
"nes" folder, with files "nes.cfg, nes.html, nescafe.ejf, nescafesettings, xbox360controllermap.jpg"
If I double click on nes.mcl, media center browser opens up and the nes emulator works " PC "
Now I turned my xbox360 on and off. Going to the more options menu. waited. waited. restarted 360 again. tried it again. to more options. Still dosnt show up. What am I missing here?

I am not terribly familiar with the NES emu, but I believe it was written by people who are not Xbox people, someone just figured out a way to run it though java.
What would be awesome though would be the people who discovered it could be streamed to play on the 360 wrote a tutorial regarding the matter.

For example the Left Analog stick generates
VK_LEFT
VK_RIGHT
VK_UP
VK_DOWN
The other buttons work in a similar fashion, the only real trick is determining what keypress value each button generates. I found the simplest thing was to write a small applet the just displayed the keypress value, you can then load it up on the 360 and learn the mappings.

Edit the PROCESS.VBS script (in notepad) - change all C:\ instances to G:\ (or wherever you may have installed the emulator - I'd assume G:\, since that's your MCE drive.)
Is there a way to get the roms list to show up so many roms per page (multi-page menu)? I have about 700 NES roms and it takes FOREVER to get to the end of the list.

I'm using MC in Vista and I don't have a "More Programs" option when in MC. I've already extracted everything to the right location -- I just dont see the NES option while in MC. What gives? Thanks Players.

I don't know what could be the problem then. Might be something wrong with the extender to the 360. Might try reinstalling that. But other than that it seems like it should be working.
I have the exact same thing, are you a Vista user?

Here is the updated APPLET : http://www.nescafeweb.com/main.download.php
There is sound now but I didn't try yet.

About the option to check in order to disable this messagebox, take a look on your PC in the MC options. You'll find in a box to check for that. Did you look for before asking ?
And personnally I repeat : I'am looking for the version with the roms menu selector (see in page 7). Nobody answered me for 6 months (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Nor Xexter, neither BoomDivx answered to my mails.) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif).
Can someone reupload the file please, or just send to me à nemorensis-vrac AATT Yahoo DOT fr ??
Thanks a lot and happy new year from France (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Full Updated Version: http://www.yourfilel...t.php?fid=63809
Note: you do not need the previous version. This is complete.
CHANGES:
Created "Refresh Game List" Menu Item that runs a VBS file and will automaticlly create the list based off of what's in the ROMs directory. Once you run that function from the web page you will need to refresh it by going back and re-launching the page. You must arrow over and click open on both dialogs or this will not function. Once that runs, refresh the page and all the roms you have in /nes/roms/ will display and launch.
Added Select item --> Launch functions: You can now just select the rom you want to play and hit "A". This will load the selected rom into the emulator. If it doesn't load, just hit "A" again and it should. You can hit "B" while playing a game and it will take you back to the Game loader.
Changed NES Loader file: Added Credits to main MCL file to keep rom loader and applet page clean.
NOTE: This is not needed anymore but If you still want to edit the files manually, the only changes that are required now are:
<tr><td>
<span id="XXXXXXXXXXXXXX" class="btnAutoNav_nofocus" style="position:relative;" onfocus="setItemFocus(this);" onblur="clearItemFocus(this);" onclick="var tmpval = getCookie('NES_ROM'); setCookie('NES_ROM', 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXX'); clearItemFocus(document.getElementById(tmpval));return false">
<div id="content3" >XXXXXXXXXXXXX</div>
</span>
</tr></td>
Anywhere there are XXXXX needs the romname.zip. You do not have to mess with anything else as everything else is handled based off the rom name.
Thanks to Ryan and BoomDivx for the help.

Here's the readme:
CODE
NESCafe for X360 v1.10
First, extract the folder in your program files folder.
Then go in the NES_Emulator folder and run the register.bat file. This will add the emulator in MCE under Online Media/Program Library/Programs by name.
All you have to do is put your roms in the roms folder and modify the emu.html file:
1- Find the following line:
2- Change the Punch-Out!!.zip to the name of your rom. (a selector will come later).
3- Save the file and launch the emulatotr from your 360!
Note: Make sure the annoying popup about "not designed for Media Center" on your 360 will not appear when launching the game or you'll be stuck with in the front of the emulator.
Changelist:
v1.10: Update with NESCafe v1.020.
v1.0: First release by Xester including BoomDivX rom selector.
To do:
- Create a rom selector.
- Make the sound work.
- Suggestions?

I did not code NESCafe, so if there's a bug with it, don't ask me to fix it
I've been able to run it on a X360 connected to a Vista MCE 64bits. If someone could tell me if it's working on Vista 32bits and Windows XP (32bits and 64bits), I would appreciate!

I remember trying to get this to work with vista months and months ago with the old .rar to no avail.
Anyway, I got it working on my Vista 32-bit and I'm just going to explain the single hitch I ran into in the hope that it may help someone else.
In order to run the batch file correctly I had to disable 'User Account Control' to avoid some permissions problems with regedit. To do this, go to Start/Control Panel/User Accounts and then 'Turn User Account Control on or off' and then restart your computer.
You should then be able to run the register.bat file without any problems. Of course, if you wish, you can always turn User Account Control back on.
Also, to get rid of that annoying 'not designed for Media Center' message: In media center on your 360, go to Tasks/Settings/General/Startup and Window Behavior and you should be able to change the setting there.
Much looking forward to any advancements in the future. Good luck.
P.S. Just out of curiosity, is there anyway I could get a look at the Java source code for this. I'm in second year CS at Waterloo and it would be interesting to see.

Do I have to have a jtaged consol to get this work?
Way to resurrect a 2 year old thread. The game was playing on a PC and the video was being streamed through the Media Center on the xbox.
