Hello,
I have tried to play my gba roms from a dvd but everytime i start the game it puts me back to xboyadvance. If i play them from the xbox hdd they work fine.
I think i have the same problem with genesis roms.
I want to play them from a disc to save space on my xbox hdd.
Any ideas?
Oh and i dont suppose you know how to change from arcade mode to console mode in FBA-XXX? cheers

hi smike and welcome to HQ,
You have to edit the .ini file or .xml file which is with the emulator that you want to run from disc. You need to open the .ini file in say notepad and find the link to the roms.
You need to change the roms directory to:
d:\roms\
or whereever your roms directory is on your dvd-r..

i have made many different emulators discs with roms and they work just fine for me.. Although i must mention i am using older versions of all the emulators and not the latest.. Maybe that could be the reason but i doubt it.
They are meant to be run of both HDD and DVD-r.. its just a matter of tweaking the .ini file..

I tried what you said but it still doesnt work
But in xport emulators the dvd drive is drive S:\
So i tried that but no luck
i can play roms off the dvd fine when playing nes and master system roms. but when i try and play genesis and gba roms they dont work
Im using xboyadvance_v17 for gba and neogenesis_v16 for genesis.
and im using smsplus for master system and fceu for nes
all of these are xport emulators, dont know why im having problems with some.
