Hey everybody,
Good to hear that things are working like they should now. Thanks to everyone who helped and gave input on it. Always feel free to comment on what's available and what you'd like to see in the future. It's finally starting to feel like this is all coming together.
I'm real excited now. I've spent about the last 4 hours putting together a few new things on my PC. Just upgraded to 2GB 3200 ram, and I have two new 1TB hard drives mirrored in RAID 3. (Never did any of that before, so I took my sweet ass time and made sure I got everything right without frying anything). I'm in the process of copying all my XBox stuff onto that drive and I'll sleep easier at night knowing that it's all mirrored perfectly. Ahhhhhhhhhhh..... it was expensive, but no more loss of data and work worries.
Check for the status of Xtras progress at the bottom of the post.

MM? ~ I've pretty much got everything working right now with NES. I'm just waiting for the Contra (Translated) video. Sorry to ask you after you already did the rest of them. I was just going to use the Contra (US) video for both, but I noticed too late that I already had the name slightly different between the two versions and changing it now would require us to re-do all of the datfiles. The good thing is now I have separate artwork for the Japanese version and we can have a video that highlights the story added to the Translated version that's not in the US game.
I looked through your new videos and they look great. It is apparent how much effort you put into them. Proud to have them on my XBox man.
----------------
Madmab ~ I also have the Colecovision pretty much primed and ready to go for the full Xtras release. Whenever you get the oppurtunity to figure out which homebrew is getting cut and which videos you still wanted to make before release let me know and I'll make the changes and anticipate your final ADAM videos.
I'm going to try out that new beta today and update you on the bugs. Thanks a bunch!
-----------------
Nate ~ Sorry man. I don't have any N64 datfiles now. I think the emulator comes with one, but I could be wrong about that. I haven't gone anywhere near testing N64 yet and I don't have any plans to in the near future. Something I hope to get to down the road if there's still some desire left in me to do it.
One tip though is to get the roms that have
[!] in their name. That seems to work for me.
-----------------
Justgoonies ~ I've been waiting to unveil it until it's all done, but I'm looking foward to showing all this to my friends soon. Glad you're enjoying them and come back for more updates. A few big releases will be coming out shortly. Thanks for the feedback.
-----------------
ds_dude2008 ~ Yeah... definately the wrong place to talk about this, sorry man. I don't even know anything about chips because I've softmodded all my XBoxes. Plus I've never gotten my cheats to work at all anyways.
Next time try using a few periods man. That paragraph is completely unreadable. If you want somebody to take time out of their day to give you instructions or show you where you can get help, you need to at least take time out of your day to write something that is comprehensible.
Ask in the regular forum in a separate post, and when you do, mention specifically what problems you hare having, how far you are able to get... stuff like that. It's just a guessing game trying to help you out unless you provide detailed information about everything in a way that people can actually read it.
Good luck
