multi games dvd

OK here goes.
first off I have only done this with 4 games so far, but it should go up to 6 in the newer version of the Game selector 0.7b

Game Selector Guide.


* REQUIREMENTS *

Up to 6 Xbox Iso's
Xbox 0.7b Game Selector
Primo DVD burner 2
Xbox Isotool 1.1


* OVERVIEW "
NOTE Folders are always written in UPPERCASE.
The confusion for this seems to be with the structure you are burning to the DVD. there is no structured added by you - its a simple combine all the files together IN the root folder and then burn them, But do not burn the ROOT folder itself.

e.g.

ROOT FOLDER > game1, game2, game3 etc. + game selector files & folders

burned as

DVD - game1, game2, game3 etc. + game selector files & folders

No ROOT FOLDER.


* DIRECTIONS *

First of all extract the Game Selector to you Hard drive. you should get this

XBOX ROOT DIR folder
Default. be
Selector.xml
MEDIA Folder

All the files you copy go directly into the XBOX ROOT DIR Folder.

Now you need to use the Xbox Isotool 1.1 to extract the first Game Iso into its separate files and folders. Do this in a seperate folder, not directly into the game selector as you need to edit the files after extraction. Check out the readme that come with that tool to do this, it does tend to crash on empty folders so some games have to be done by hand, at the end of the day you need all the files and folders as they are in the ISO intact on your HDD.

Example - Fe_mans made up Xbox game

Default.XBE
Data.dat
dfforum.dat
VIDEO folder
GRAPHICS folder

THIS IS THE IMPORTANT BIT

There is always a Default.xbe file in the root of any game Iso you extract - It must be renamed BEFORE you copy the game files into the XBOX ROOT DIR folder.

For gameselector version 0.5 they are renamed to Default1.xbe up to Default4.xbe as it had a 4 game limit.

Version 0.7b allows up to 6 games so it uses letters instead of numbers hence you need to rename the Default.xbe your first game DefaulA.xbe. NOTE REMOVE THE T of defaulT <<

Each game you add is the next letter DefaulB.xbe, DefaulC.xbe etc up to DefaulF.xbe

Example - Fe_mans made up Xbox game

DefaulA.xbe <<<<<<
Data.dat
dfforum.dat
VIDEO folder
GRAPHICS folder


so once you have renamed the Default.xbe from your extracted Game Iso you copy all the files and folders from it into the XBOX ROOT DIR folder.

so you now have this

Example - Fe_mans made up Xbox game


XBOX ROOT DIR folder
Default.xbe
DefaulA.xbe
Data.dat
dfforum.dat
Selector.xml
MEDIA Folder
VIDEO folder
GRAPHICS folder

Thats basically it. You now drag the contents of the XBOX ROOT DIR to a DVDR/RW in Primo.

Select New > Data Disc
set the burning options to MODE 1 and Disc at once DOA closed and UDF - up to 128 character, plus 8+3 tree.
Burn away and hopefully bobs you uncle!.

NOTE : You can also edit the names that appear in the game selector menu by editing the XML files but I havent tested this yet so I am not including this in the Guide yet.

Please excuse any spelling error.
Hope this helps
