Righty ho then chaps and chapesses
what is all this CoinOps malarky we have heard so much about lately?
well it is a pre-configured collection of emulators and games for the original XBOX, depending on what version you grab (lite, standard or full) will determin the amount of games/videos/emulators you get.
CoinOps5 has a great front end with a list of sortable games on the left of the screen, the right of the screen shows an arcade cab with the title of the game, the date of release, manufacturer and a running demo of the game (which is great as it gives you a little preview of what type of game it is)
all in all i love this, great fun and from the little i have tried so far it is very usable and playable, i am surprised how well this old machine manages emulation.
Systems included are Amiga, Coleco, MegaDrive, MegaCD, Speccy, Nes, Snes, N64, PCE...... and some others i can't remember right now.
what will you need?
an original xbox softmodded or chipped and a big hard drive.
CoinOps5, the full version is a 48gig download (yep 48gig! UG is the clue here)
an FTP to get the files from your PC to you XBOX.
what do i have to do?
download CoinOps5, once you have your 48gig of files, unpack them to a lovely 68gig folder (lol yep 68 gig!!!)
now hook up your xbox to your network and ftp the CoinOps5 folder into a "Games" folder on your xbox, this took 56 hours on my system
anyhoo, once all downloaded and ftp'd it is well worth it.
couple of things i haven't worked out yet so hopefully someone will chip in with the answers.
1) i can't quit out of a game once it is launched (i have to re-set the XBOX)
2) i have to use file explorer to lauch CoinOps (it doesn't seem to show up in Games or Emulators)
i will update this thread later with some pictures.
cheers, Justin
