Don't see all my games in Xlink Kai

Posted: Tue Dec 21, 2004 10:55 am

Hi,

I installed Xlink Kai on my pc, its running XP, I can also play games and host them, but the strange part is in the game area on my Xbox, I don’t see all my games.
For instance, Halo 2 appears in the screen, playing goes fine, I also have Collin Mcrea 2005, this game also has to work, but I don’t see it in my game area, If I go to Arena I see Collin Mcrea 2005 games, when I connect, my Xbox say’s, XBMC can’t find the game Collin….. If I go directly to my F drive on my Xbox, (here are all my games) It starts without any problem.
This is not the only game, I also have a view games of Tony hawk, the have the same problem.

Does anyone have the same problem or knows a solution ????

I just heard it was a XBMC problem, but where do I get a new version ?

This is an XBMC issue. Download the latest XBMC CVS - runtime made some changes in the past 2 days in regards to this.

Moving to XBMC.

Thanks dfunked

But the strange part is, a friend of mine has the same games and XBMC, but hi doesn't have this problem, we checked all the setting, and the are the same.
So is this really only a XBMC, we installed it last week....

Try renaming the folder the game is in to match the name that XBMC is looking for (spacing and such too).

You meen the directory f:\games ?

Or just the one the game itself is in ?

I will try in tonight, hope it works.

Just get yesterdays CVS, no need to do anything special about renaming your folders. just ensure your games folders are sub dirs within the folder you specified e.g. f:\games

Yeah, the are, so I don't really see the problem.
But any how, I'm going to install the new CVS, I know I can't ask you where to get it, but is there a way to give me a tip where to find it ?

Installed the new XBMC, but the problem is still there.......
All my games are on f:\games XBMC sees them and can start them, but kai doesn't.
I also deleted all the save data on the original xbox drive.

if you have the yesterdays CVS (to confirm look in the changelog and see the newest change/fix listed it should be 21-12-2004 or newer) then the only thing i can think of is your folder structure.

assuming your kai games directory setting (might be case sensitive) is:

f:\games

valid examples of games xbes are:

f:\games\aGameDir\default.xbe
f:\games\halo\default.xbe

invalid examples:

f:\games\action\halo\default.xbe
f:\games\halo\halo.xbe

if after this you still have problems, read the sticky topic and post the relevant log files.

Example

Not working for me before
f:\games\halo2 -Media center says it can´t find the game

working now
f:\games\halo 2 -Media center launches the game without problems

It doesn't take the name of the game - it takes the XBE ID's.
