I want to be able to launch

- "Play Game from DVDROM Drive / Reset"

-"DVD Movie Player - Region Free"

-"Game Management on XBOX HD" (a.k.a. Px HDD Loader v1.1a)

-"Play Games from Harddrive" (might not need it if I have the Px HDD Loader linked, but I would like to have it in XBMP nonetheless)

-Xbox File Explorer (aka boXplorer)

(are there any others that I should have in there or, any other apps that I should have anyway? clue me in )


I really kind of just want to use XBMP for everything and be able to launch programs from there. I like the EvoX way, and will use both from time to time, but I want to figure out how to get that stuff so I can launch it from XBMP.

Surely there are threads on doing this but I couldnt find any in the first five pages or so, and I dont know what to put in as a search subject. Is there a good guide/tutorial out there on how to do this? I assume it is just editing your config.xml for XBMP, so how is it done?

Thanks in advance guys

PS I am using XBMP 2.3, build 04-14-03.

Also, please feel free to share what you have in your XBMP "My Programs" Menu and what apps you have

<autolaunchxbox>true</autolaunchxbox> Auto launches games
<autolaunchdvd>true</autolaunchdvd> Auto launches dvd movies
<autolaunchcdda>true</autolaunchcdda> Auto launches Music cd´s

In your dvdplayer.cut and cdplayer.cut you need to edit the path to the program you want should start.
(ms region patched dash, dvdx2 etc for dvd´s and msdash for cdds (music cd´s)

Heh! the only thing I had to do was take out "bookmarks" from the <url>e:appsbookmarks</url>

Now they show up when I go to My Programs --> Harddrive. Sweet. Or, JayDee, would you suggest I use the bookmarks thing? This might be a matter of personal preference, but I would like to hear your input. thanks

edit : oh, wait a sec...I see. I think I will use the bookmarks thing.....

Bookmarks make it easy to enter a specific folder directly, like games, without the need to first enter one and then browse to the games folder.

This setup works fine for me
