anyone else want xbox or ps2 on their mamewah?
mud409:
I've been craving ps2 and xbox on mamewah for a minute now. I've asked so many and majority say it's not possible but I'm convinced it's completely possible.
On xboxes I used to execute games over ftp.
the idea is to setup individual bats for each game that connect through ftp and execute the specific game you want to load.
After you execute it you lose connection the game loads on your xbox. just have mamewah load a window projecting the svideo in connection of the xbox.... controls wont be an issue since you can strip the xbox dashboard so no button presses will affect the xbox until the game is loaded.
I'm no scripter so that's why I'm here begging you guys for help. any suggestions are appreciated.
Cakemeister:
Are you talking about executing a script which will load an arbitrary game to your Xbox over FTP? These games can be hundreds of megabytes. Even over a fast ethernet connection it will take a long time to load the game in question. You would also need a modded xbox than can run games from memory instead of from the removable media, and that can take commands remotely.
So, while it would not be impossible, it sure would not be practical.
For a PS/2, I would say that it is impossible because IIRC PS2s don't have ethernet connections.
In the future there may be a PS2 emulator that can run full speed. Such an emulator does not exist now.
If you want to run a frontend on your PS/2 as a homebrew application, maybe you can do that, but you would have to run Wah!Cade instead of Mamewah, because PS/2 homebrew runs Linux and Mamewah is Windows-only. Homebrew PS/2 is probably beyond your skill level, no offense intended.

I thought he was referring to games that were already on the XBOX hard drive. Was assuming he was FTPing in just to issue an execute command. Maybe not... :dunno

I'm not trying to stream the game, I just want to trigger the execution of it from a remote pc... guess I should have made that more clear... the game is already loaded on the harddrive of the xbox, I just want a bat file that'll ftp the xbox and say execute this directories default.xbe...
it's pretty simple if you're into scripting I'd say... there's lots of ftp scripts on google but none that execute.
mud409:
shouldn't this be as easy as a bat file with this in it
ftp -s:xboxexec xboxipaddress
and then xboxexec is a file that has this in it...
xboxusername
xboxpassword
cd f:\games\gamedir\
execute default.xbe
