| Need a Windows user's help editing a .ini file |

Hey guys, I've got an unusual request to make. I need someone who has a windows computer to open and edit a .ini file that contains lookup game category data for CoinOps, the homebrew mega-emulator for Xbox. As a proof of concept to fill in gaps, I've manually gave categories to the NeoGeo Pocket and PC Engine CD rom set lookups. No actual roms are here, this is just a look up table that needs updating. I'm not sure what program can edit a .ini file, so if all else fails, you can always try renaming the file to a .txt, making the edits, saving and then turning it back to a .ini file. I've tried doing this on my mac to no avail. the program seems to ignore my changes for some reason. download the file here: http://www.mediafire.com/?ddaxqefwuewb4nw It will list everything supported in alphabetical order. Making sure you only edit in alphabetical order, first delete anything beginning in NEO_ and also PCD_. We'll be replacing these old listing with frwsh ones. If the old aren't deleted, there will be a conflict. Then, after the handful of existing old NEO_ and PCD_ files are deleted, add the following lines of data in alphabetical order on the list by copy+paste: NEO_BaseballStars=Sports NEO_BaseballStarsColor=Sports NEO_BigBandProWrestling=1v1 Wrestler NEO_Bikkuriman2000=Miscellaneous NEO_BioMotorUnitron=RPG NEO_BustAMovePocket=Puzzler NEO_CardFightersClashCapcomVer=Card Game

Check your mail. BTW I think you misspelled your own address. |

Thanks for your help. I'm puzzled! Your PCD_ changes took effect when I did a recan of my romset, but not any of the NEO_ ones. did you add in the NEO_ set properly? only the PCD_ changes appear. Also, you deleted the existing PCE_ set too. That was a mistake. Only the few PCD_ set should be removed. PCE_ is PC Engine (Turbographix16) PCD_ is PC Engine CD (Turbographix16 CD) please add in the PCE_ stuff you removed. If you need to, redownload the link. |

I suspect the issue is using UNIX-style line breaks vs. Windows-style line breaks. A hardcore text editor (likely one intended for programmers) can handle switching between the two types. Notepad++ has this feature: edit->EOL Conversion->Windows format. Since much of Xbox homebrew is based on Windows programs, it's probably what the format of the .ini should be. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newline But getting someone else to do it is probably simpler. |

I gave it a shot and sent you an email with the ini file, hopefully it'll work. |
