If the loading screen hangs, set the configuration to 4016 mode, relaunch, then if it loads and it's not the correct machine type, exit, reconfigure as the correct machine type and it should be fine. - Can now use LTHUMB stick to move cursor on keyboard menu. - AutoBoot games (see below) IMPORTANT NOTES =============== AutoBoot Games -------------- This allows people to configure a CD/DVD such that when it boots, it will boot directly into the specified game. If you place a file called BOOT.INI in the same directory as your DEFAULT.XBE, then the filename specified in that file will be automatically loaded upon startup. Similarly, if you place BOOT.KEY and BOOT.STG in the same directory, then the controller configuration (BOOT.KEY) and settings (BOOT.STG) will be used if none already exist for the game specified in BOOT.INI. Create these boot.key and boot.stg files from the existing configuration files for a particular game in the E:\SAVES\<emulator> directory. Sample BOOT.INI contents: d:\gamename.zip Stella, Gnuboy, SMSPlus, FCEUltra, HUGO, NeoPop, DGen, Bochs, HUGO-CD, FMSXBox, Bliss, WinSTon, Gens, Z26X, StepmaniaX, PCSXBox, XBoyAdvance, DOSXBox, AtariXLBox, MirrorMagicX, KoboX, MaelstromX, MarblesX, Vice64X, Vice20X, VicePETX, KegsX, XPired, AdamX, WonderSwanX, BeatsOfRageX, PowermangaX, LynxBox, BlueMSXBox, GladiatorX, AmphetamineX, StarfighterX, PachiX, BlobWarsX, OdysseyX, ArnoldX, X68000X, WinUAEX, MekaX, MednafenX-NES, MednafenX-PCE, MednafenX-Lynx, AbuseX what's next?

For example : rlxshare=/home/player/roms@192.168.1.30:1400 - Possible Samba fix/improvement : see next item - New network configuration parameters : XBox IP, Subnet Mask, Gateway IP. Access these through the Configuration -> Network Options menu or change them in the INI file : [GENERAL] LOCAL_IP=192.168.1.30 SUBNET_MASK=255.255.255.0 GATEWAY_IP=192.168.1.254 LOCAL_IP is the XBox IP address SUBNET_MASK is the subnet mask GATEWAY_IP is your default gateway Set these to the same values you use in your XBMP configuration file. This might help people with Samba issues.

This is also a customizable controller action while in-game. Configure it via the Controller Configuration -> UI Mappings menu. - Save Game management - delete save game files - Samba/NetBIOS sharing support (read roms from your PC) - Relax Network Sharing (read roms from your PC) - Play MP3 or M3U playlists in the background (Can also read MP3/M3U from across Samba/Relax shares.) - User definable save directory. If you don't like the default of E:\SAVES\VICEPETX you can change it via the VICEPETX.INI file - Take in-game screenshots and display them on the game selection list - New UI feature - auto-screenshot capture mode. When enabled, the emu will start taking screenshots at a user-defined interval. Useful for ripping sprites/animation. - Hardware filtering options : Point, Bilinear, Trilinear, Anisotropic - Graphics filters : + 2xSai + Super 2xSai + Eagle + Super Eagle + SuperScale + AdvanceMame 2x + Simple 2x + 2xSai Scanline + Super 2xSai Scanline + Eagle Scanline + Super Eagle Scanline + SuperScale Scanline - Record/Playback feature - record your gameplay in the emu and then play it back again. Record up to 10 minutes of gameplay. - Every single in-game command is fully customizable on any of the four joypad controllers. - Map any emulator or UI command to a single button or a combination of two buttons. (e.g. RTrigger+LTrigger = Save State) - Autofire capabilities for any emulator button on any controller - One-button combos (define a series of emulator commands to be played back when you press a user-definable XBox controller combination.) (E.g. Press RTrigger+LTrigger to execute the command string A,B,A,B,Up,Down,Left,Right) - Traverse any directory on any drive ( Continue selecting the parent directory entry on the file selection list to get the drive selection list. Selectable drives are C, D, E, F, R, X, Y, Z, and SMB. R is the CDROM drive. SMB is the samba share you have defined in your VICEPETX.ini file.) Press Y from any file-listing screen to go up one directory level. - All UI commands (save state, load state, screenshot, etc) can be invoked from the Options/Pause menu as well as in-game via your customized joypad mappings. - Can be invoked from a command-line to directly run a game from a front-end or dashboard and bypass the user-selection screens. (Only if the frontend or dashboard supports this feature.) - Can return to the launching program *if* the launching program supports this feature. For example, if the custom-launch routines are incorporated into a new frontend, that frontend could launch VICEPETX and when you exit VICEPETX, that frontend can be automatically reloaded. Default ROM dir is D:\PETGAMES =============== Important Notes =============== There is some initial weirdness when starting games for the first few times. At startup, when you load a game it will sometimes boot normally and then present with the "LOAD ..." "SEARCHING FOR..." text and then seemingly hangs. Sometimes it just takes a while, other times requires exiting the game and restarting. Sometimes it takes a number of restarts before things finally "kick in" but after that everything runs fine the first time. I would have investigated this problem more, but I suspect that 99.9% of the people who use XBox emulators will either not try this one at all or will not use it again after the first time because the games are not captivating by today's standards at all. I ported it for my own personal amusement since there are a number of titles that I enjoyed very much decades ago. ===================== Relax Network Sha...
