well i ticked all the dependencies and now the guilib.lib problem went away. i still get the unresolved externals problem but inspite of that the default.xbe is generated and starts up but seems to hang after starting up since it does not respond to the controller inputs.

the latest build (latest tarball, feb 2) seems to hang on my xbox, though it builds without any problems. deleted the face008 folders but that didn't help.

any ideas, is there perhaps a way to catch the outputdebuggingstring messages from a debug build on a retail xbox to see what's happening?

i have just downloaded the latest cvs tarball, changed the solution and vcproj files to work with .net 7, fixed the dependencies and it compiles fine with no linker errors. i copied over the data and it runs with no problems so i am not sure what you are doing wrong.

what version of the xdk are you compiling with? if you can get to the main menu but your controller doesn't work then you need a more recent one - i know this happens with 5659.

if it hangs before it gets to the menu then you are probably missing a data file - debug it and see what it is looking for.

hope that helps...

my xbe was also build flawlessly just like you described (.net 7), using the december xdk (5849).

it hangs immediately, at the evox loading screen. i'm not sure how to debug a debug-build-xbe, is that possible with a retail xbox?

thanks!

[ezd]

solved it brute-force by deleting the complete xbmc folder, reinstalling an older working version and overwriting some of the main files (default.xbe, *.xml, mplayer) with the newest versions.

still interested in retail debugging possibilities though!

i'm no dev but i know of these three options:
1. if you have a 512+ kb modchip and xbox without the focus chip then flash bios with a debug bios and use debug with xdk.
2. all mods as long as do not have focus chip: use phoenix bios-loader to loaded a debug bios and use debug with xdk.
3. if debug bios is impossible, manualy incoperatate xport's or blackbelt's debug server code and use matching debug client

i've added
<weather>
<areacode>nlxx0017</areacode>
<format>m</format>
</weather>
to the xboxmediacenter.xml file between </video> and </xboxmediacenter>
when i press "refresh" in my weather it says "accessing weather.com", then an empty dialogbox with title "unable to get weather data". imdb works so i guess it's not a network problem? it also happens with the original ukxx0085. when i enter the xoap-url with the code, metrics and id/key in my browser it loads the weather-xml just fine. any ideas? thanks

you do not need to touch your bios at all. just follow this tutorial --> http://xbox-scene.com/articles/debug-xdk.php

ok, build.bat should be updated to xcopy the weather directory, it works now, looks great! :d

- xdk 5778 or higher

and xdk 5558 ??

[Gamester17]

already mentioned that, see number 2 "phoenix loader"

i don't want to sound condescending, but what part of 5778 or higher was not clear ?

seriously, 5558 will compile, but you won't be able to move around. you really do need 5778 or higher

here's a batch file i wrote to easily obtain a working installation with all the latest files in the right places, and to keep your own custom config .xml's in tune with the latest .xml parameter changes. after you set it up everything is about completely automatic.

basic idea: create a folder containing

- xbmc cvs folder

- config folder containing your personalized my_*.xml (so my_keymap.xml, etc) and backups of the last versions of the non-modified xml files, filenames _ prepended: _keymap.xml etc. (first time just copy them straight from the xbmc folder)

- win32codecs folder containing the extracted mplayer codecs

- extraskins folder containing any extra skins you may have (so excluding mediacenter)

now, compile xbmc and run the batchfile below (adjusting lines 2-4 to your setup). if any .xml config file has changed, your diffing program will pop up to show you what changed in the cvs, as well as your editor with your corresponding customized .xml so you can edit it to correct it for any important changes.

after you're finished and closed both, press any key to check the other .xml files or start creating the xbmcupload folder containing the complete installation.

if you have any questions let me know. if you don't know which differ you should choose- i like winmerge myself, but there's also one included in vs (not installed by default i believe)

@echo off
set editor="c:\seteditorpathandnamehere"

because i live in gmt+1 i cannot tell the exact date of the cvs build. on what timezone is the cvs date/time based on?

so i can give feedback with the correct build date of the cvs.
