I've got a softmodded system with an upgraded hdd and EvoX, UnleashX, and Dash2Gam installed. I'm trying to get rid of most of my discs and keep everything on the system. However, I'm finding that I'm not having a lot of luck with running many games from the hard drive -- filenames too long on some, freezing up on load on others. Rather than ripping to hdd games that won't launch (ripped using dvd2xbox or qwix), is there an launcher that that will automount & play ISO game images? (Like XBMC will do for dvd videos ISOs?) I've seen a couple of HOWTOs that included creating a specific mounter/launcher file for each individual ISO but was wondering if there's an easier way using an ISO aware dash or program. I'd prefer to just FTP the images & forget it. Being able to see & launch the games from XBMC would be a plus.
yes a modded xbox can read ISO. images and there many things u can do...to add games to HD id prfer UnleashX...the best program that i think is good for making iso or images is Nero
Many games seem to run fine from the HDD but Qwix has warned me about a couple that had filenames in them longer than 42 characters (says they won't copy over). I just read that the 'freezing' game problem may be fixed by deleting files in e:\cache and anything left on x:, y: & z: (except for the xbmc weather dir). I just tried that a couple minutes ago & was able to get the previously dead games to come up without any problem -- clearing the cache was definitely the fix there. I last saw the 'filename too long' issue by trying to send over some sega emulation discs recently posted on a.b.games.xbox.......
