Yes, the modchip will allow you to run DVD backups of your games, but it's simpler to just put them on the hard drive since even a small GB drive like the one I installed can hold 50 games. Will XBMC play back up copys of orignal games or just the games off the hd im thinking of going down this road and installing it but i wont waste my time if its not going to play backed up games.
Ken's Blog. Thursday, August Even though I'm not much of a gamer, I'd replace the XBox with another if it broke is how useful I think this is ;-. Comments :. Link is in my original post. Any help would b thanked 8. If aanyone could take the time and help me through this i would greatly appreciate it PS i have the newest version of XBmc 9.
Start Pages. You'll go through the same process as before, but twice—the first time, you need to navigate to the emulator's executable say, Jnes. Enter the extensions of the ROMs compatible with that emulator, without periods. It will then ask you what you would like to call that section of your games menu your ROMs will be organized by platform , so instead of the emulator filename, type something like "NES" or "NES Games". After you're done setting up the emulator, you should be able to view your games by clicking on that emulator's folder—it will ask you if you want to import files from path; choose yes.
This will re-scan the folder for any newly added ROMs. You'll probably need to edit a few preferences in your emulator of choice, like making it start in full screen automatically, since you won't want to have your keyboard and mouse out to play games.
The Advanced Launcher wiki has information on a ton of different emulators and the settings you'll want to enable for perfect XBMC playback. In addition, I've found that it takes a bit of trial and error to find which emulators work with XBMC and which ones don't—so if your favorite one is having trouble, try another one for that platform and see if it fares any better.
Of course, the whole point of this is to turn your media center into a game console—you don't want to sit and play games on your TV with a keyboard or maybe you do, in which case you can skip this section.
If you have a gamepad already, you can configure that—if not, though, I highly recommend an Xbox controller, which is USB and has drivers available for Windows direct from Microsoft.
For Mac and Linux users, I know this third party driver worked well on my Mac in the past, and the xpad kernel driver or this third party Linux driver should work in Linux though I have not tested either myself. Most PC games and emulators have built-in support for gamepads, but this isn't ideal here, especially since since most games and emulators may require a little movement of the mouse.
So, instead of configuring your controller in the game, I highly suggest you use something like AutoHotKey if you're proficient with it or, much simpler, free keymapper JoyToKey , to map your controller to specific keyboard keys.
This way, you can map your controller's buttons to keys and then set up your game or emulator using the keyboard for example, you could map the controller's start button to the spacebar on your keyboard, and then map the pause function to the spacebar in your game's settings, allowing you to pause the game by pressing the start button on your controller.
Looking up the Xbox controls for the game if an Xbox version exists will help you map the controls for specific games correctly. Usually, the PC version of a game does things a bit differently, but you can usually map it closely enough to get a similar experience. In addition, you can map the mouse to one of the joysticks and one of the mouse buttons to one of your gamepad's buttons so you have full mouse control to navigate menus and such.
That's all it takes. Once you finish installing your games, you'll have a good-looking, functional digital library for video games of all consoles just like you do for your movies and TV shows—certainly enough to re-impress your friends that by now have become accustomed to the media center you put so much work into.
The Python 2. The libraries used for DVD navigation have also been updated which should bring better compatibility with problematic DVD menus. With the 3. We have scrapers for themoviedb.

This simplifies maintenance, and brings with it better performance and compatibility. A variety of improvements have been backported from Kodi for the skin engine. This allows skins and features for Kodi to be more easily implemented. We currently ship with the same selection of skins as with v3. Changing it now would just introduce more confusion. Thanks to Kodi and their useful tools for handling translations , we are now using the on-line service Transifex to manage translations for the project.
As well as the key features above, many other changes have been made with a lot of backported features and fixes from Kodi.
It also gives us the opportunity to show off the new branding before the final 3. More changes have been included than we expected after the initial release candidate.
This is due to some updates that were planned before, but got overlooked, as well as some fixes for problems reported by users. Thanks to everyone who tested 3. In addition our PolarSSL was rather out of date, so it made sense to rebuild librtmp and libcurl against a newer version and update them in the process. Thanks to Sean for reminding me to pull in the Transifex translation updates. The logo is already being used on this site, but you can also find it on the new XBMC4Xbox splash screen.
Hope you like it — we do! For those building from source, 3. It has been some months since 3. For further information you can refer to recent commits from the Redmine Repository Browser.
