Virtual Xbox CD Ripper Public Source Code
Posted by XanTium | July 16 16:44 EST
BlueCELL released the sourcecode for Virtual Xbox CD Ripper(info): [QUOTE] For those that don't know. VXCR is a program that allows you to transfer songs from your PC to your Xbox without having to burn an Audio CD and then hoping that the Xbox would read the CD.
The real reason behind me officially releasing the code is because I checked one of my old email addresses from a while ago and realized that a few people requested the code. Sorry to those for not replying.
This is the latest code from me (BlueCELL). I believe this is newer than the last version released on Xbins. There are only a few minor changes. Nothing new in the interface/features. This code is written in VB6 (yes, I know from the stone ages). I did start to rewrite the program in VB.NET 2005 but never had the time to finish it. The only thing that was near complete was the interface. If anyone is interested in working with me or by themselves to release a new version feel free to. The biggest problem with porting this into a .NET language would the the file conversion (whatever -] WMA). The guys at www.un4seen.com have libraries for encoding to WMA format. This library is free to use for non-commercial applications (the last time I checked at least) and works with any dot NET language.
This also includes all the graphics and documents etc that have been made to date. [/QUOTE]

I've not downloaded it, but I notice in the original post that it's in VB6. To compile this you need Visual Basic 6 (the full thing, not the runtimes). Unfortunately this costs money. If you are feeling brave you can download the Visual Basic .NET 2005 Express edition for free (VB.NET is like VB7...) and cross your fingers and hope that it can convert it and compile it.

I was about to convert this to VB .NET 1.1 and start working on it, but the conversion engine is spewing some crap about ccrpftv6.dll (which is the treeview control) not being installed and is required. So I gotta get a copy of VB6 to fix this.

Yeap well I got my old VB6 copy out and installed it, compiled vxcr and it seems nothing works. If i can't upgrade his I might try creating my own (using his st.db information).

The code works. Just be sure that you have all the dll/ocx's in your windows system32 folder.
For the one that wanted to transfer it to .Net, simply use the www.un4seen.com encoding stuff for .NET. The only thing you'll need to find is a FTP control or make your own.
Also, you can forget the migration wizard.

Can someone actually make it work? The last time I tried it, it corrupted the custom soundtrack database whenever I tried to transfer anything. Well, it's no big deal. I just use dbpoweramp to convert the music to WMA, then transfer it using Xbox Soundtrack Manager. That actually works, except for Burnout Revenge. For some reason, the game sometimes freezes for a bit while playing the music.

Well I dunno why it doesn't work for me, I installed Visual Studio 6, I'll try just copy and pasting the libraries out of his Required Libraries folder. Also the migration wizard didn't do too well, lots of build errors... and as for making my own, well maybe sometime in the future.
