Thankyou to who ever created this tool, it rocks. I was having major problems backing up ninja gaiden. The FMV's where jumping all over the place and i kept getting dirty disc errors. I wasted about 3 dvd's thinking it was a bad burn.
Thanks to vood i followed the tutorial on his site and now ninja gaiden rocks, all the fmv's play perfectly and i am yet to get a dirty disc error.

Ops , sorry, now the limit is 1000kb

I´ve already moved each layout to its directory, sadly they lost the uploader info

So either I set them manually one by one, or I let the uploader name in blank

Did you use my manually optimized layout + padding?

Oops, didnt realise we jumped thread or I didnt see this one.

MooGUI v1.0b up'd to layout site.

See here for more info

[VooD]

MooGUI is now uploaded to http://xboxlyt.freeunixhost.com/

And also, I updated a bit the site, so I can add info easily.

Thanks for the mention on your site, glad I could help.  What did you mean by the files lost thier uploader info? Anyway, just a quick note. Blinx, Simpsons road rage, and Project gotham racing are Platinum Hits discs. Didnt know if that would make a difference or not.

Layout site looks great!


For MooGUI Ive added a few thing already since im working on the optimization side of things.
- Ability to rebuild an original modified layout file to almost its original state (ie like your Ninja Gaiden), Im not criticizing it, just thought it would be nice feature to have for power users.
- Even more thorough file format checking (since we have the ability to edit these layouts)
- Make a layout file from a game folder on your HD so you can manually optimize it, though I'll provide the file size in the output.
- Ability to move dashupdate, update, downloader to beginning of disc
- Ability to move \media to beginning of disc (caveat, only available if \media contains only arialuni.ttf, dlcustom.xpr, sound.xsb, and wave.xwb) Ive seen some games that put other stuff in this folder.
- Ability to move \Xdemos or \demos to beginning of disc.

If you can think of any other easy optimizations let me know.

On a side note, I have been pondering on FTP, CloneXB made it look so cool and easy, too bad it doesnt work for me. But, more than likely MooGUI will not have FTP as that wasnt the original focus of it. But then again...

 I also don´t know if there is a difference. I´ll add the info anyway, thanx.

About the uploader info, if you look at the right of a file at the web you can see the name of its uploader. As I moved the files using ftp, there is no uploader name in yours.

Well,notice in Ninja Gaiden´s case the "original" disc was a release from a warez group, so the original layout was completly lost, thats the reason I had to do a manual optimization to improve disc speed and noise.
Also I use to optimize layouts from files on my pc´s hd using the -ordercreate option to generate a plain layout ordered by name. In that case you also couldn´t back to the original state.

I believe is not a good idea, as will confuse a bit users, and of course if you want the original layout you can download it from the web. Using a manually modified layout to get the original is a risky operation in every situation.

Btw, did you read my pm´s about moogui malfunctioning?

VooD, I can't download Oddworld Munch's Oddysee_Ntsc.rar layout possibly because of the ' character in the link.

Can you fix it?

[Vejita]

[moobar]

MooGUI will be taken offline, until major bugs can be worked out.

[Vejita]

Well I hope the bugs are fixed soon, I think this frontend is great!
