Emulator launcher for Xtra
Hi, i work on a project about many month ... an emulator launcher !
I want use it on xBox to launch the best emulators ever ... the Madmab one, with Surreal, Zsnes, Finalburn, ...
For this i start to use UnleashX ! Because it is fast to boot and can show Xtra (a background and a video preview).
It make it with a list, the best system to do it ... i really don't like the HyperSpin system like do BP with Vision ...
It's too flashy and it is useless
Today, i finally finish the 90 systems backgrounds in FULL HD 1080p !
And i have near finish the videos ... again one week and it will be done too :p
All in xBox WMV ... because it is not really the same format than a PC WMV :p
Some finish exemple ...
I works very a lot to make them the most perfect possible
And i want to show systems when you choose your cathegory:
My problem :
The problem is that UnleashX can't show many HD backgrounds without crashing
And if i convert them all to 854x480 it works better but crash too if you watch a lot of them
Like i want have a folder with all home-brews, and xbox games, it is impossible to use
BUT with XBMC4XBOX it is possible !
I can put my backgrounds like FANART and i will see them
THE PROBLEM is that we don't have video preview
I'm sure it is possible to add it like BP do, but not in XMV, and using WMV !
To respect GPL licence
I think the best solution were to use a simple skin and the file system explorer, not the database.
Easier to code ... and easier for users to update :p
On each directory XBMC see the XBE to launch.
It see to the FANART.JPG file for the background.
To ADD :
If the user want it can use a .TBN file for the central SPRITE if maybe we can make it move ... but it is not important ...
The DEFAULT.WMV video to show preview.
AND : an DEFAULT.XML file to put the position of the VIDEO and the sprite if we make it move.
For the moment the SYNOPSIS if include in the background image ... we can let it like that, or the XML must have the text AND the position to place it !
I speak about this project to BuZz and he tell me to post it here ...
Is some one want to help me please ?
All the stuff is near done now :p
Thanks
