Contains links to all important threads.
Contains answers to important questions.
Before we begin, let me remind you that the Xbox runs on FatX,
This means that it will not accept long filenames like Windows XP does,
so when your roms or movies or whatever wont transfer with FTP, then yes
your filename might be too long or contain illegal characters.
The filename may not be longer then 42 chars and " ' * $#@!?>< must not be in your filename,
the xbox will not recognize these chars and the file will not transfer.

Q : I dont like Irc and FTP programs, is there another way to get xbox emulators/apps??
A : Yes start googling and hope for the best, But while you are busy googling for the latest release
i will already have downloaded what you are searching for from Xbins and installed it on my xbox.
Q : I downloaded too much from Xbins and now i'm banned!!
A : Oh you dumbass! did you not you read the warning about not downloading too many files?
anyway you'll be unbanned in a day or so.
Q : i'm trying to load a game but i allready setup the game's loading options, now i cant change it anymore.

-------------------------------------
General Rom Questions
Q : I got some roms but they wont play, the extension is 7z
A : 7z means they are zipped with the program 7zip, most emulators do not support this way of compression,
unzip them with the 7zip program
http://7zip.org then rezip them with normal zip.
Q : What do all these (U) and (!) symbols mean?
A : that means your roms are renamed with the goodtools, Here's what they all mean.
Q : Are there special Xbox roms for Snes/Genesis/Gba/etc?
A : No, all roms are the same.
-------------------------------------
Playstation Questions
Q : The emulator is asking me for Scph1001.bin
A : That's the Psx Bios, google for it and put it in the Pcsxbox Bios dir.
Q : Final Fantasy 7/8/9 dont work!!!
A : Check the Final Fantasy game settings thread, its listed in the FAQ part of this thread.
Q : I downloaded a psx game
A : Shame on you!!!
Q : Hello i eh.. saved my psx cd to a file but it turned out to be an mdf file,
i since then lost my psx cd, so how can i convert this file to something that pcsxbox will read?
A : Download and install a program called Alcohol 120%
then mount the mdf as virtual disc with the virtual drive option and use another program like CDRWin to rip to bin/cue files.
Q : Cant i just download a simple converting program?
A : Sure you can, you will then however become one of the many people to make a post entitled "after converting my psx game wont start!?"
Q : How can i continue playing a game that requires you to switch cd's? (save game wise)
A : put the bin/cue of each game in its own numbered folder (ff7a, ff7b ff7c), but name each bin/cue file in that dir the same.
(like with Final Fantasy 7 call all bin files FF7.bin) (dont number the bin files)
then when you save your game right before they ask for the second disc, you can run the second disc with that save.
it starts up just like normal.
Q : Can i run real psx Cd's with this emulator?
A : No.

Q : Clrmamepro is too difficult for me.
A : Here's a Clrmamepro Tutorial.

Sega Genesis & Sega CD Questions
Q : I tried to play a Sega CD game but i got the following message :
"RAM cartridge is not initialized. Use options screen to initialize RAM cartridge." pic
A : Reset the game. next time you load it, when the mega cd/sega cd intro comes up, press A instead of start.
this brings you to the cd player screen. click on memory, where you can format the ram.
now exit this screen, and click on cd rom and the game will load.
you only need to do this once, in future the game will load normally.
