The way you can do this is a "action script" in MXM. You can go to AllXboxSkins.net for the action scripts. Look for 2 called "pw.xas" and "pwscreen.xas". Once you get them, you can go onto you xbox C drive and make a folder called MXMScripts. Then place the 2 files in that 1 folder. Then you can complie a file called MXM_Entry.xml via word. Inside that file make it read something like this(or even copy this and change everything to your settings):::

<Config>
<item>
<Title>Name of the game here</Title>
<Description>dosent have to be here</Description>
<thumbnail>if you want place dir here</thumbnail>
</item>
<Item>
<Action>
  SET DIGIT1a A
  SET DIGIT2a B
  SET DIGIT3a X
  SET DIGIT4a Y
  SET DIGIT5a A
  SET PWSCRIPTPATH "C:\\MXMScripts"
  SET PATHNAME "F:\\games\\name of folder"
  SET FILENAME "default.xbe"
  Callfile %PWSCRIPTPATH%\pw.xas
</Action>
</Item>
</Config>

Once compilied, place the MXM_Entry.xml inside the root dir of that game! After that, reset menu cashe and now you have it protected!!!!

Or even easier just add the tag <Passcode></Passcode> in your menu.xml file to the folder you want and it allows for a password up to 5 characters long.

eg...
<Submenu>
<Title></Title>
<Description></Description>
<Media></Media>
<Passcode></Passcode>
<Thumbnail></Thumbnail>
<sortfield>title</sortfield>
<Item>
<AutoDir></AutoDir>
</Item>
</Submenu>

If you want to passcode an app or game just create an MXM_Entry.xml with that same tag and place the xml file in the app or games directory.
