My XBOX is already softmodded with unleashx. I have tried putting emulaotrs on it and placing them in the apps folder but nothing comes up. Do I need to change the file names to end with .xbe? I mainly want to put a genesis emulator on it. Every one I download that says it will work for xbox does not have an executable file with a .xbe extension.... Is this the problem?

Thanks for the help. I am a complete newbie to doing this sort of thing.

Instructions - Downloading ROMs

Use your PC-to-emulation software if none exists on your Xbox.

Use your PC to download ROM files. There are many websites that provide ROMs for whatever system your Xbox emulates.

Unzip your emulation software to a directory on your desktop. Open this directory in Windows Explorer.

Copy your downloaded ROM files to the "ROMS" directory for your emulation software.

Transferring ROMs

Connect your Xbox to the network hub or router using the LAN cable.




Turn on your Xbox. Evolution-X will start automatically.




Open Evolution-X's "System" section and choose the "Network" area. Your Xbox's IP address will be displayed.




Open your PC's FTP software and connect to your Xbox's IP address.





Use your FTP software to transfer the folder containing your emulation software, including all files and subfolders, to the Xbox's "E" drive.

Creating a Menu Item

Use your FTP software to navigate to the Xbox's "C" drive and download the file "menu.ini" to your desktop.




Right-click the file "menu.ini." Choose "Open With..." then select "Notepad."




Scroll to the section marked "Apps."




Without deleting any existing text, add the following text to a new line in the file (note the lack of a space after the comma):
Item "[your emulator name]","e:\[your emulator directory]\default.xbe"
If you are installing MAME, for instance, the text to add would be:

Item "MAME-X","e:\MAME\default.xbe"




Save the file and transfer it back to your Xbox's "C" drive, overwriting the old file. Restart your Xbox. Your emulator will be selectable from Evolution-X's "Apps" section.

Tips & Warnings

• Before editing the "menu.ini" file, it is wise to save a backup that you can transfer to your Xbox in an emergency.

you have to put the emulators in the "emulators" folders, not the "app" folder
