This question comes up alot but its frustrating if you have every emu and rom, but can't get them to work. I open Prassi PrimoDVD and start a Data Disc task and I load the folder with it into the program. [the folder with the roms and emu files such as...]

*.xbe file
media folder
rom folder

When I burn it and run it in my xbox it doesn't play. Am I missing anything? What are the burning settings suppose to be set at?

Thanx

Check the FAQ. Cal_G_UK wrote a tutorial for using Primo for this purpose.

How to burn

In PrimoDvD:
(skip the wizard that is open at the start).
Select File->NewJob->DataDisc.
Right click in the big white window (under "Folder or File as on disc")
Select "Add Files And Folders"
Browse until you find the the emu folder on your harddrive
Open the emu folder (I'm hoping you've had the good sense to put ZIPPED versions of your favourite games in the roms folder??)
Hold down the control key on your keyboard and use the mouse to highlight all the files to add to the mamedisk

These should be:
\media\*.*
\roms\*.*
\default.xbe
\mame.ini
\mame.txt
\xbox.txt

Once you've highlighted them all, then press 'add'

Now go to Edit->Recording Options and set :

CD :
Recording type : Disc At Once (DAO), Closed
Mode : Mode 1
File System Type : UDF - Up to 128 in filename length, any char., plus 8+3 (bridge).
