Hi only just found this seaching the google been on tiz for a while but need xbox help. I have made my own skin aimed at arcades and cabinets but i am having trouble getting a video preview to show up on my skin. All UX skin maker and video dash maker doesnt work on my version of windows . I have been trying to mess with the config.xml and skin.xml to see what i can do. I am trying to create a skin a little bit like final burn where a video preview shows up inside a arcade cabinet with a seperate background image.
Hope someone can help me as i have been googleing my ass off over the past week trying to find a work around.
PS cool site as it specialises in the xbox which i love for its emulation capabilities.

Hi kernowgamer,
Welcome to the HQ..
I haven't played with UnleashX in years, but what i would do is get an existing skin which works, and start editing it manually. Auto Installer Deluxe has skin packs i think, so it could be useful to.
hopefully another users more familiar with UnleashX have some info to contribute.. Also, If you happen to find any new tools that we don't have on the site you can submit them easily here _________________ HQ Network:

Cheers for the welcome.
I know how to add the preview by editing the menu (Start button) but the video preview doesnt show up in my skin. When i use the green shapes skin thats already in the unleashx the preview shows up so there must be a code line in the skin which enables the video preview window but i cant find the skin.xml in unleashx for the green shapes skin.
I think ill have to DL the auto installer to see what skins are on there cheers for the links. Cool site as its only for the xbox.

Yeh check out the auto installer and our downloads area too.. Everything on Xbox-HQ is for the original Xbox 1.. If you want info on the Xbox 360 and modding that, use your same username and password to login on www.360-hq.com
SPPV (moderator) also has release his own versions of AID and SID, which will more than likely include skin packs.. Ill send him a link to this message, see if he has anything to help you.
anyway, enjoy the sites, they have taken year to build up!
I think i have done it i grabbed a pic of a cabinet from google and used it in layers with the background image then entered a code line for gameicon / gamepreview and it worked. So then it took me about 3 hours of trial and error to get gamepreview and the screen of the cabinet to line up . Then i changed the font in the skin.xml and it removed the game preiview i tell ya this is a right laugh its all a learning process though.

Cheers SPPV ill check them out and see whats going on. Ive just leanrt about the ambient sounds on the dash and have put a vid of arcade 84 on the dash which starts as soon as it boots. This is better than xbmc as its so customizable shame it doesnt run video plug ins. .
