What do I do, what has gone wrong? It's the first time I've tried this particular emulator, so if i've missed something, please tell me. Thanks

That's really gay...how do i make an image file then?
I've tried with alcohol 120% (.mdf), but it just freezes with an annoying buzz on the hle/bios selection screen when I choose one of them.

p.s. If it's gay, then don't use it.

RTFM
you wouldn't have asked this stupid question if you had read the readme.

if I'm right, then, xport, are there any plans to read psx image files off of a data CD without having to re-iso every game or xfering to the HD [just like how xbmp can read audio/video files off of a regular data CD]?
btw, it's not gay or lesbian, it's still finding itself, and we're all along for the ride. thanks again, xport!

I also failed to see the connection with an emulator and a person's sexual preferences...
As for the image, if it's an ISO/CUE or BIN/CUE on the xbox hard drive itself, there is no need to make it an xbox iso. However, if you wish to run it off of a CD-RW, DVD-R, or DVD-RW then yes, I do think it has to be in xbox form. Although I'm very sure that it has to be in xbox ISO form on recordable media, I haven't tested this.

It works absolutely flawless. I have backed up 45 games. Not a single problem so far.

ooh, reason 6: images can be transferred over to HD of either xbox/pc for those long play sessions and you don't wanna wear the CD-rom or can't stand the noise or increase loading times. if the images were burnt normally then an extra proggie would be required to extract them.
TTFN, ta ta for now.

Another point tho, I made an image of CoolBoarders 3 with clonecd (giving me an .img file) which I put onto the xbox, but it still freezes.....what's wrong?

| so you're saying I can burn PSX images normally on a DVD without having to convert to an xbox compatible disc & the DVD would still be readable by PC? how are you burning your discs? UDF or something? and with what proggie? will this process work with CDr[w]s? I don't have any more DVDrws at the moment and am reluctant to try another DVDr without more info. ooh, reason 6: images can be transferred over to HD of either xbox/pc for those long play sessions and you don't wanna wear the CD-rom or can't stand the noise or increase loading times. if the images were burnt normally then an extra proggie would be required to extract them.

Yep...
Record now max.... (no wizard)
Data
Options
Track at once (TAO)
UDF -up to 128 in filelength, any char.,plus joilet, plus 8 + 3 tree (bridge)
Then burnt at maximum speed and they work on both xbox emu and pc...no point in wasting space!

cainedna: uh, that doesn't make any sense to me, if the xbox has trouble reading PSX CDs, then wouldn't extracting be out of the question? and I believe xport's credo is max amount of gain from little work. what you are asking is alot of work with little gain [isn't "Mac gamer" an oxymoron? jk], since I think it's safe to say that the majority of people have little problem ripping their own games. are you sure there are no decent Mac CD ripping proggies? I guess you can point xport to some source code to a program that rips PSX games, that could help. or you can try asking for help either at the forums of http://www.ngemu.com/forums/ or http://www.aldostools.com/index2.html. the former has many frequenters who produced the original PC emus you see on the xbox today.

yeah i like burning em this way...now point in wastin dvd's (or cds).About the ripper on the xbox, i believe this is highly possible as i don't think the xbox has any troubles reading them...put one in when evox is on and it will always say 'unknown disk.' (of course this is with origionals as cdr backups aren't read by a lot of drives.) I always thought xport said the problem was the jumping around...so he could introduce a ripper i think

Really? I see so many posts here with people asking how to rip the games! (Although I suppose you could be right that the people who manage to do it keep quiet).

I've just looked again at the original post re: PCSXbox v1 where Xport says:
| QUOTE |
| I was finally able to get the XBox to read XA sectors, but it reads them much too slowly for anyone to want to play games using it. (Reads about 2.5KB per second) |
I guess this means that it is technically possible to write a ripper on the Xbox but it would be incredibly slow. However, I can still see a use for it - people could leave it ripping overnight and not have to fiddle about with PC/Mac software.

| one2 - Yes, you would have to convert it to an xbox-compatible image (via xiso or what-have-you). I understand what you're asking for, and I'll make a note of it, but it seems doubtful to me at this point that I would bother implementing it. It's not a trivial addition and I don't see many people having a use for it. BTW, why do you have bin/cue files on data CDs? I can't think of a reason why you would want them in that format on CD media. |
I think implementing it would be a great idea, then you could use samba and run your PSX games straight from your PC Cd-rom drive.
