Hey,

How do I add "Emulators" to my Evox dash? I know I have to edit my evox.ini file, but i'm not really sure how to do it. I have xSNES9x installed, but I have no "Emulators" option on my dash. When I connect to my box via FTP i can see all the xSNES9x files in E\Emulators but how do I get it on my dash? My evox.ini looks like this:

[Menu]

Section "Root"
{
Item "Launch DVD",ID_Launch_DVD
Item "Trainers",ID_trainer
Item "Reboot",ID_Quick_Reboot
Item "Reload","e:\ROOT\default.xbe"
# Item "Power Cycle",ID_Full_Reboot
Item "Power Off",ID_Power_Off
# Item "Lock Harddisk",@210
# Item "Unlock Harddisk",@211
Section "System Utils"
{
Item "Settings",ID_Settings
# Item "Flash BIOS",ID_Flash_Bios
Item "Backup",ID_Backup
Item "Skins",ID_Skins
}
Section "Launch Menu"
{
Section "Apps"
{
AutoAddItem "e:\apps\"
AutoAddItem "f:\apps\"
AutoAddItem "c:\fonts\nk\apps"
SortAll
}
Section "Games"
{
AutoAddItem "e:\games\"
AutoAddItem "f:\games\"
SortAll

What should I add/change? Thanks a Heap,

Jab

Its very simple..

First make sure you always have a backup of your original evox.ini in case you have any probs.

here we go:
You can add as many different sections as you want..

Lets say we want to add a emulators menu options like you have requested.. I would do this..

1. Open evox.ini
2. Scroll down until you find:
Code:
Section "Games"
{
AutoAddItem "e:\games\"
AutoAddItem "f:\games\"
SortAll
}

3. Now just make a new line below or above
4. add this code:
Code:
Section "Emulators"
{
AutoAddItem "e:\emulators\"
AutoAddItem "f:\emulators\"
SortAll }



5. save the evox.ini and transfer to your xbox.
6. remember you have to reboot for the xbox to read the evox.ini again.

thats it. hope that helps ya


Finally heres what it looks like together:
Code:
Section "Games"
{
AutoAddItem "e:\games\"
AutoAddItem "f:\games\"
SortAll
}
Section "Emulators"
{
AutoAddItem "e:\emulators\"
AutoAddItem "f:\emulators\"
SortAll
}



bye

Hey Hobbs,

I did what you said and my evox.ini looks like this now:

Section "Root"
{
Item "Launch DVD",ID_Launch_DVD
Item "Trainers",ID_trainer
Item "Reboot",ID_Quick_Reboot
Item "Reload","e:\ROOT\default.xbe"
# Item "Power Cycle",ID_Full_Reboot
Item "Power Off",ID_Power_Off
# Item "Lock Harddisk",@210
# Item "Unlock Harddisk",@211
Section "System Utils"
{
Item "Settings",ID_Settings
# Item "Flash BIOS",ID_Flash_Bios
Item "Backup",ID_Backup
Item "Skins",ID_Skins
}
Section "Launch Menu"
{
Section "Apps"
{
AutoAddItem "e:\apps\"
AutoAddItem "f:\apps\"
AutoAddItem "c:\fonts\nk\apps"
SortAll
}
Section "Games"
{
AutoAddItem "e:\games\"
AutoAddItem "f:\games\"
SortAll
}
Section "Emulators"
{
AutoAddItem "e:\emulators\"
AutoAddItem "f:\emulators\"
SortAll }

}

I'm trying to FTP roms into the "ROMS" file in xSNES9x, but they're not showing up when I boot the emulator. Don't know what the hell i'm doing wrong Confused Any ideas?? Thanks,

Jab

Hi Jab,

are the roms in the correct format?
Normally you will find .zip roms work the best.

How did you install your emulators too.. Did you install it yourself or did you use AIDeluxe to install the emulators..

You may need to edit the snes9x .ini or .xml file to point to the roms directory.

hope that helps bro

bye for now

Hello there.

The evox.ini like most programs have to be exactly right, no small mistakes.
I had a lot of trouble learning how to edit my evox.ini, but it is just a case
of being precise.

try mine!

Well, .SMC is the right file extension, and you say you're FTP'ing them from your XBOX? OK, so check and see if the files are going into the ROMS folder in xSnes9x, and also make aure they're not going into another folder, or even a folder inside the ROMS folder itself. Sometimes this is overlooked, so if you've already done this and everything checks out, please forgive me as I'm just trying to cover all the bases I know.

Also, make sure your xSnes9x's config.ini file looks like this:
Code:
ROMPATH=E:\Emulators\xSnes9x\roms\
PREVIEWPATH=E:\Emulators\xSnes9x\Previews\
MEDIAPATH=E:\Emulators\xSnes9x\Media\Music\

At least, that's how mine is set up and it sees all 155 files I have installed automatically.

The only changes I made to xSnes9x was when I moved it from E to F after I installed a larger HDD. Other than that, it hasn't been changed at all since it was initially installed back when I dropped in my softmod.
