In the directory C:\ you have your msdashboard.xbe (think xbe=exe), However through some meathod (there is alot) your machine is allowing you to launch a program called evox as your dash board... now evoX usually has an *.INI file that points evoX to certain directories. These directories are usually called /games and /apps ... And usually these folders are located in the E:\ .

Now if you were to look at the actual file structure of an xbox DVD (you cant on your pc, so dont try) in the root directory (the very first directory you would see if you loaded the CD) has another *.xbe file which is ALWAYS NAMED default.xbe. When the disk is read on the xbox the machine always knows to launch DEFAULT.XBE. Well evoX has the ability to launch an XBE file from anywhere on the hardrive (in accordance to whatever the INI file is set to [usually e:\games and e:\apps]) So when you FTP "EMULATORX" to your box it should look somthing like this.

E:\games

copy ENTIRE folder containing "EMULATORX" with default.xbe to this drive. now you have a directory called:

E:\games\EMULATORX

and inside that folder you have a bunch of files and *default.xbe*

ok.. so now your done ftping. First thing you have to do is reset your xbox. on reset try to open up applications->games->emulatorx and HOPEFULLY it will load that executable.

Now if that option is availible in your menu and it still is failing my guess is that you either placed somthing in the wrong directory or some how the default.xbe file got corrupted.

I have tried all it loads and just resets to the evox dashboard. I'm using Slayer's auto installer 2.5

It shouldnt matter what softmod you used.. You loaded it, but it didnt have roms before? Obviously you did somthing incorrect. Give me a file list of what you have.

i have Slayer's autoinstaller 2.5
exunim ice with ver 3
20gig hard drive
and thats all the programs are what come with slayer's besides the kawa-x i'm tring to install.

plus slayer's has snes emu and it won't read the roms

thanks for your help 'one time' but i really think its helpless, but if you think you can fix it......

Well first.. I never use auto installers. I always install mystuff from scratch so I know exactly what is doing what. If slayers has a readme take a peak at that and see if it says anything about a configuration file or somthing.

as for the SNES roms directory:

1) FTP into your box and go to the snes folder. You will see default.xbe and a text file called *config.ini*
2) If you open up or edit config.ini you will see somthing like

Code:

ROMPATH=d:\roms\

as that is the default settings when you DL the emulator and because the creators of slayers were probably lazy.
3) assuming that you have the emulator in a folder called xsnes9x located in the e:\ change ROMPATH=d:\roms\ to

Code:

ROMPATH=e:\snes9x\roms

or whatever the correct rom path is.

my guess is that kwakx has the same or very similar problem. just change the config file.

yeah autoinstallers are nothing but trouble, as for kawax the roms must be in D:\ROMS as changing the location in the config file will not work like it does on other emu's.
if all else fails just use final burn alpha instead.
