The game im trying to add to the game list is buffy the vampire slayer which i put on my E: drive in a folder i called BUFFY can someone plz tell me in simple terms what i need to do ?

What i do is i take this bit,

Section "Games"
{
# Item "Invaders","f:\games\invaders\default.xbe"
Line "- Auto Items -",2
SortStart
AutoAddItem "f:\games\"
SortEnd
# SortAll


and add this Item "BUFFY","e:\games\BUFFY\default.xbe" then replace the untouched ini file with mine using what i put above then i reboot my xbox go to the games bit and it just says in green - Auto Add Items - nothing else ?


by the way the ITEM INVADERS bit was already in the ini file i left incase it needed to be their but their is no invaders game on my xbox.

see the line that says AutoAddItem "f:\games\" - just change it to read AutoAddItem "e:\games\" , or add AutoAddItem "e:\games\" to the line below or above that one. then , any games you put in the e:\games directory will appear on your menu

Ill do that in a mo m8, but will that still work if i have made a folder in the E: drive and put the game files in that folder ?


thanks.


FURIO.

You can make a folder whatever you want to call it, as long as you point to it correctly in the ini file.

You can make a folder called FurioGames if you want

then you would do "e:\FurioGames\" etc etc.

Then you put games in the folder

Say you have Halo in a folder. Copy it to:

e:\FurioGames\Halo

then put all the files from Halo in that directory etc. etc.

Thanks jaymus m8, so i should put this,



Section "Games"
{
# Item "Invaders","f:\games\invaders\default.xbe"
Line "- Auto Items -",2
SortStart
AutoAddItem "e\games\BUFFY"
SortEnd
# SortAll


or ami loosing it ????
lol

FURIO.

no, if you have autoadditem
just out the directory where you are going to throw Folders of games on there

oh don't for get the : in e:\games\

So make a folder called games on E drive of the Xbox

use AutoAddItem "e:\games\"

it's an auto add so you dont need to put every path into the ini file.

At least that's how the auto add works in my apps :)

I don't put games on my HD, as I have a DVD burner. But I put apps on the same way, so I am assuming it's the same.

so do:

AutoAddItem "e:\games\"

and put any games into it's own folder. Make is simple folder names. Like Halo, Buffy, NFL2K3....etc.



PS - If you don't want to do auto sort and want to put it in wierd directory just follow the space invader format:

# Item "Invaders","f:\games\invaders\default.xbe"

(first, take out #) I think

Item "type name of gam here","e:\path to the game\default.xbe" (assuming it's in E drive)

example:

Item "Buffy","e:\buffy\default.xbe"

Item "Halo","e:\games\Halo\default.xbe"

basically, make sure the path points directly to the default.xbe

err.. thanks for explaining that m8.. I thought thats what I said ;)

Yes, lol..... I know plexgod.

That's exactly what u said :P
but some newbies need very very specific examples.

oh, ya and people never ever read the faq for some reason.....
