Add 1 to the count. Seriously this is the *MOST* asked question on these forums LOL.
Yes, just load the game as you normally would. Use search button next time.
Moving to General Help. |

Yup the most asked question, and still no one has produced a simple list of "click here, the select this, then execute this ....." I think this could be as simple as 10 steps.
Anyway I'm still trying to figure this out as I can launch the game I just cant see any games when I go into system link mode. If you want to know how to launch the game, simply hit "back" on the xbox controller until you are at the main screen of xbms, go to files and select the drive with your game , and then execute the games default.xbe.
If you figure out how to see system link games please let me know. As soon as I figure this out I plan on documenting a simple list of what to do to play games from xbmc as I do not think it is documented anywere.
Hope this helps. |

3xodus,
thanks for posting that guide....if only it had 4 or so more steps so we could actually see how to start the game and find the system link games in progress.
Good stuff though!!! |

In the future expect more improvements from myself and TD to address the issues discussed so far. We will offer more automation when it comes to playing games, and similarly we will do more to help you tell when a syslink game is in progress; players with headsets etc. |

if you are using the 11-15 build with project mayhem II skin, go into "settings-->general-->kai" and for games directory enter the location on hard drive(CASE SENSITIVE -- very important) this will enable you to be able to just run the game by just hitting the "play" button. |

*WHY* are people trying to enter entries in Unix directory listing ie '/'
It's '\', make no mistake. Press the little '@' button (it's near SHIFT if I remember). It brings up the symbols on the OSK. |

What's IGR?? (sorry if that's a dumb ?) I'm using evoxM8 btw...if that matters...
I may end up just making XBMC by dash, but with new builds coming out seemingly everyday, i don't really want to keep updating my dash accordingly...PLUS, i'm an Avalaunch loyalist (just waiting for them to integrate KAI...) |
