3dox

3dox - 3do Emulator port for XBox
This is an alpha release and I know it's slow, but it does work.
User Guide:
1. You'll need a 3do bios to use this. Whatever bios you get will have to be
renamed to 'bios.rom' and placed in the bios folder.
2. Roms go in the Roms folder! (duh!)

3. 3dox can also load 3do discs. Press 'start' at the rom select screen and
3dox will try to load whatever disc is in the drive. Not all xbox's can
read CD-R's though, but should have no problem with cd-rw or dvds.
4. When loading a disc it takes quite a while before anything appears on
screen. Have patience.
5. There are no settings to customize at the moment.
6. Frameskip has been turned ON for this release, which gives us another
5 FPS or so. Woohoo!
7. Assume most games are either SLOW or EXTREMELY SLOW.

Controls:
Game Select Screen:
A: Launches the game.
Right Thumb Stick Click: Exits the launcher.
Start: Launches the disc is the drive.

In-Game:
B = A
A = B
B = C
Start = P
Back = X
Left Trigger = Left Button
Right Trigger = Right Button
DPad = DPad
Right Thumb Stick Click = Exit to launcher

ArnoldX

By Dempsey_86

ArnoldX Amstrad CPC Emulator port for XBox
User Guide:
Default ROM dir is D:\CPCROMS
===============
Important Notes
===============
When you change disks while playing, the configuration of the game is updated as well.
For example, if I start a game with DISK1 and then during the game I change the disk
in drive 1 from DISK1 to DISK2, then the configuration of the game will now state
that the disk in drive 1 is DISK2. When you start the game again from the main menu,
it will try to boot off of DISK2. This is intentional. Save states for multiple disk
games requires that the disks present in the drives when the state was saved are there
when the state is reloaded.
If you are playing a game where you have to change the disks during gameplay, then
I strongly suggest these tips:
- Turn on auto-loading of save states
- After you have changed a disk, wait until the game has finished loading whatever
it needs and then save the state. Always remember to save the state after
each disk swap. If you do this, then when you exit the game and restart it in the
future, the disks will be set correctly in the configuration screen, the state will
automatically load, and you'll be all set.

Controls:

Menu Navigation

Blissx Intellivision Emulator Port For Xbox
User Guide:
Features :
- Emulates the Intellivision
- Excellent compatibility - ported from Bliss
+ Intellivoice games do *not* work yet.
Various Important Notes:
Default ROM dir is D:\INTVROMS
Leave these files in this directory:
D:\intvroms\exec.bin
D:\intvroms\grom.bin
D:\intvroms\ecs.bin
D:\intvroms\ivoice.bin

The Intellivision is very reliant on something called Overlays for proper gameplay. Hence the reason I added overlay support. You can access the overlay by pressing the right analog stick button. If you're still having trouble check out the manuals using the media browser.
Do NOT! Zip up the Intellivision BIOS Roms (eg.. ecs.bin, exec.bin, grom.bin, and ivoice.bin)

There is a bug that affects games like Dig Dug and Mappy which makes the video screen
jump around all willy-nilly. This is a problem with the core and apparently has already

Classic99X

By Dempsey_86

Classic99x - Texas Instruments 99 Emulator for XBox
User Guide:
Place your cartridge games in the \TIGAMES directory.
The file format for TI99 cartridge images is rather strange. Each cartridge
game consists of 1 to 3 files. These files need to be named in a specific
manner to be correctly interpreted. The naming is like this:
XXXXXC.BIN
XXXXXD.BIN
XXXXXG.BIN
Where XXXXX is the descriptive name of the game and C/D/G represent the different
parts of the cartridge ROM.
All you have to do to play these is select one of the C/D/G files. Classic99X
should be able to locate all of the appropriate pieces and put them together.
Be sure to select "Cartridge" as the image type during game configuration.
Due to this strange naming, there is not currently any formal support for ZIPped
cartridge images. You should use the uncompressed BIN files instead.

How to Use Disk Files
---------------------
Place your disk files in the \DISKFILES directory.
Select one of the disk files and choose "Program File" as the image type.
This will also automatically generate some text that can be pasted into
the emulator that will assist you in running the program file you selected.
After configuring the game, you will enter the emulation. You can select
regular or extended BASIC. Once the BASIC selection is loaded, go to the emulation
options menu (press RTHUMB) and then select "Paste Lines into Emulator" to
initiate a command sequence that should launch the program. You can hand-edit
these lines to be pasted if you wish.
If you use a cartridge game that needs to read information off of a disk drive
device (DSK1) then you can place the files it needs in the \DISKFILES directory.
The \DISKFILES directory is always mounted as the DSK1 device whenever you
launch a cartridge image. If you launch a disk file image, then DSK1 will be
mounted as the directory in which the disk file image is located.

How to Use the TI99 System
--------------------------
Please consult the section "USING TI PROGRAMS" of the LoadingFiles.txt file for
useful information on how to use TI99 programs.

Controls:
Default button mapping to enable rewind is BLACK+WHITE.
Once rewind is enabled, press LTRIGGER to actually rewind.

DaphneX

By Dempsey_86

DaphneX Emulator
User Guide:
Installation
------------
Recommended Resolutions for Dragons Lair and Space Ace are 640x480, however
720x480 should also work. This is mainly to support DVD-VIDEO mpeg rips.
Games with overlays should be generally be 512x480. See the Daphne website
for valid resolutions. Resolutions of 720x480 should be considered the
maximum for DaphneX.
I highly recommend a single mpeg as the seeking will be faster and the general
gameplay experience will be better. Also the DVD-ROM mpegs are not very good
quality and have interlacing issues. Keep this in mind, since Daphne can only
display as good as the source. The best source is to use your original laserdisc.
Supply .m2v, .ogg, .dat files for the game you with to play. If you have a PC
version of Daphne, you are in luck as you can use your same mpeg/ogg/dat files.
You will also need to supply the ROM images for the games. For help creating mpegs
to use with DaphneX, please visit the Daphne website (http://www.daphne-emu.com)

Controls:
Note that return to menu is now 'LEFT TRIGGER + RIGHT TRIGGER + PRESS LEFT THUMBSTICK
Exit to Dashboard is 'LEFT TRIG + RIGHT TRIG + START + BACK' on Main Menu

DesmumeX

By Dempsey_86

DesmumeX is a Nintendo DS emulator for Xbox. It is based on the 0.9.11 version of Desmume.
User Guide:
Please, don't expect a good emulation in many of your roms. This emulator is still not fully optimized. Anyways, this version can play some games quite well.
IMPORTANT: To toggle between the different display modes, press the BLACK BUTTON (read the "Controls" section for more information). If all the action only happens in one screen, you will feel a much better experience if you choose to show only that screen at full resolution.
Only uncompressed roms are supported.
INSTALLING:
-----------
To install the emulator, simply copy it to your hard disk, and put the roms inside the "roms" folder. Create a "cfg" folder if you want to store config files.
If you had old screenshots for the rom list, you will need to rename their extensions from JPG to PNG (this was explained in the section "ROM LIST RESOLUTIONS").
IMPORTANT!!!!!
---------------
* Roms MUST be placed in the "roms" directory.
* Roms must be UNCOMPRESSED, with the .NDS extension.
* This emulator can only work from hard disk.
* Games can be trimmed with a program like "NDSTokyoTrim25Beta2.exe" to make them smaller, and they will use less space in disk.
* Remember that when you have selected a configuration for your rom in the GUI, you can press the "Y" button (before starting to play the game) and then the emulator will create a config file for that game (stored in the "cfg" folder). Next time that you play that game, the emulator will "remember" your favorite configuration. This system needs that the folder "cfg" is existing, to be able to create the config files. A few sample configurations have been included.
Controls:
The Nintendo DS has 2 screens. The screen of below can be touched with a digital pen named "Stylus". In DesmumeX, I have implemented both the physical buttons of the DS, and the possibility of "touching" the screen with a virtual "stylus".
Physical buttons:
* D-pad: It's mapped to the D-pad of the Nintendo DS
* A,B,X,Y buttons: They are mapped to the Triangle, Square, Circle, Cross buttons of the DS.
* Left and right triggers are mapped to the triggers of the DS. Start button is mapped to the Start button of the DS.
Control of the Stylus:
* Left thumbstick: Move the virtual cursor.
* White button: Touch the screen with the virtual cursor. You can even drag and drop, keeping the white button pressed.
* Pressing the right thumbstick changes the color of the cursor.
* Pressing the left thumbstick toggles if we want to display the amount of free memory, and the frames per second.
If you don't need the Stylus, you can move the cursor down below the screen, and it will disappear. Move it up, and it will appear again.
Change of screen:
* Black button: Changes the screen to be displayed on the TV. We can toggle between seeing both 2 screens (above and below), only the first screen at full resolution, or only the second screen at full resolution.
Note: Showing only one screen is slightly faster than displaying the 2 screens.
With the BACK button, the configuration menu is displayed. Pressing START + BACK simmultaneously, you will exit to the rom list.
FAQ:
Q: Can I use compressed/zipped roms?
A: No
Q: The game is running, but the image is frozen!
A: Try selecting "Graphics: everything", or selecting a different value for Frameskip. Some games only refresh the screen on odd frames or on even frames. So, if we use an odd value for frameskip and the game refreshes in odd frames, we will not see any change on the screen...
Q: Can I use some software to make the big roms smaller?
A: Yes, some programs like "NDSTokyoTrim25Beta2.exe" can make roms a bit smaller.
Q: This game is too slow, even changing the configuration options!
A: I'm sorry, this emulator is still not fully optimized. If you want to help to improve this emulator, let me know 😉
Q: This game is too fast!
A: Try enabling the "Limit to 60 FPS" option, and the game should work at a proper speed now. If it does not work, then disabling the dynamic recompiler will make things much slower.
Q: I have selected my language in the configuration options, but the game is played using another language!
A: You must check that your rom supports the language that you selected. For example, if you want to play in French or Spanish, sometimes you should choose the European version of that game, because the [US] one will probably admit only English.
Q: My screenshots are not displayed anymore!
A: The new rom list looks for screenshots with the extension PNG. Rename the old JPG extension of your screenshots to PNG, and you will see them again.
Q: My screenshots are very small now!
A: You are probably using an Xbox with HD resolution, so the rom list is displayed in HD resolution now... but you are still using SD screenshots. You will need larger screenshots. There are some samples included in "media\artwork\action\HD artworks"; simply move them to the "media\artwork\action" folder and they will be displayed very well (your roms must be named with the same filename, except the extension).

EpochX

By Dempsey_86

EpochX is an emulator of the Epoch Super Cassette Vision console for the original Xbox.
User Guide:
Copy the emulator in the hard disk of your Xbox. Then, roms must be copied compressed in ZIP format, inside of the "roms/scv" folder (don't delete the existing files!). Then, launch the emulator and select your desired game from your list, or select "Doraemon Nobita's Time Machine" to play the Doraemon game.
Controls:
Although each game may have different controls (and you can redefine them), basically the WHITE button is "1" in the console, the BLACK button is "2", and the "A" button is Start. With this in mind, press the buttons to select your desired game mode in the menus, and finally press "A".
In the main part of the games you will need to press this sequence of buttons to play in Amateur mode: WHITE, WHITE and A buttons (because Amateur mode is usually the "1" option in the menus). In order to play with other difficulty level, you will need to press BLACK (to select the "2" option) or even "Y" (to enter in a submenu, like in Comic Circus).
OTHER CONTROLS (they can also be redefined in the main menu):
* START: Opens or closes the main menu
* BACK: Exits to the rom list or cancels an option.

playing with settings in FBL?
Answer: Yes. But this is for people that like the idea of having a separate
emulator for the home console variants of these systems.

Question: How is the Genesis driver better than NeoGenesis?
Answer: It isn't. Although it probably runs some pirate cartridges that
Neogenesis doesn't and I'm told the scanline filter is better.

Question: Why don't my FBL ROMs work?
Answer: Because FBC uses console ROM dumps where possible. These can be
built from a full FBL set. Check the DATs provided in the tools\ folder.

Question: Why are some Neo Geo games missing?
Answer: Because not all Neo Geo MVS arcade games were released as AES
home console cartridges.

Question: CPS Ch... Wha?!
Answer: The CPS Changer was Capcom's answer to the home Neo Geo. It
played specially modified CPS1 cartridges of which only 12 were ever
released. Use Google, there's a lot of good info available on this rare
system.

Question: Why use only one emulator? Why not just take a bunch of existing
Xbox emulators and patch them into the FBL UI?
Answer: Don't be stupid.

Final Burn Legends

By Dempsey_86

Final Burn Legends
User Guide:
Most games work perfectly (and at 60 FPS). Most of the ones that don't
work require VM. Some games don't work correctly or at all but that is
rare.
If a game does not run at 60 FPS, the first thing to do is
disable software filters. Another option is to run in 480p. Games that
use VM may run better in lower resolutions since there is more RAM.
Controls:
ROM Browser:
Digital Pad Up/Down: Select a game
Left/Right trigger: Fast scroll
A: Start a game
Right Analog stick Left/Right: Cycle through screenshots
White: Add/Remove from favorites
Y: Go to top of the list
Digital pad Left/Right: Selects a game in the next/previous letter
of the alphabet
Back: View arcade information
Start: View arcade images
Emulation:
Right Analog Stick click: Pause emulation
Menus:
Right Analog stick Up or A: Increase value or accept
Right Analog stick Down or X: Decrease value
B: Cancel or exit
Screenshots:

FAQ:
Question: I added games to the ROMs folder and/or changed the ROM paths.
The games don't show up in the list.
Answer: Main Menu->Options->Rebuild Game List. Make sure the rom files
are lower case
Question: When I move text in the GUI off the screen the Xbox crashes.
Answer: The Xbox doesn't like to render text outside of the screen.
There's nothing I can do to fix that.
Question: Can I change the controller that is used for the GUI.
Answer: Yes. Change DefaultController in the FinalBurnLegends.ini file.
The emulator must be run at least once before this file is
created.
Question: Are any files saved in TDATA/UDATA folder?
Answer: Other than the icon, no.
Question: When I start Final Burn Legends, it just returns to the Xbox
dashboard.
Answer: Verify that all files and folders copied to the Xbox.
Question: When I start a game it displays an error message and returns
to the GUI.
Answer: Verify your ROMs with ROM Center.
Question: I verified my ROMS with RomCenter, but some NeoGeo games say
M1-ROM error.
Answer: RomCenter doesn't detect this. The names and CRC of some files
will match the dat file, but the ROM is still wrong. The only
way to fix this is to get a new ROM.
Question: Where do I get ROMs from?
Answer: They are created from your arcade board with tools you create
to read the data.
Question: Are you going to release a torrent with all the games?
Answer: Not a chance
Question: Will my ROMs from FBA-XXX Pro work with this port?
Answer: Some will. Many won't. Use the dat file provided to verify
and fix your games. It will also generate a list of what games
are missing.

Question: Several NeoGeo games take a long time to start.
Answer: That's the best it will be. The Xbox doesn't have enough RAM
to start them as fast as a PC can.
Question: What are the recommended audio and video settings?
Answer:
For a modern look:
Flicker Filter set to 0 or 1, Soften turned off, Software Filter
SuperScale2X, Low pass filter turned off, Vsync enabled, and Hardware
filter Bilinear (or Point if running in 720p or 1080i).
For a more original look:
Answer: Flicker Filter set to 0 or 1, Soften turned on, Software Filter
Simple2X, Low pass filter turned off, Vsync enabled, and Hardware filter
Bilinear.

Game&WatchX

By Dempsey_86

Game & Watch emulator for xbox.
User Guide:

Game&WatchX is an emulator to play all the "Game & Watch" games (more than 50!) in your Xbox.
It supports all those games, including Multi Screen, Tabletop, Panorama and MicroVS ones,
plus the new homebrew game "Bride".
The rom for the free game "Bride" is included. To get the rest of the games, please read the section
"Getting roms". Put your roms in the "roms" folder and launch the emulator to play. It should work both
from hard disk and DVD.

Controls:
The controls are simple: D-pad for direction, A and B are the actions buttons (if they exist in the game),
START to play "Game A" (Easy) and BACK to play "Game B" (Hard). Press START+BACK to exit.

Screenshots:

Credits:
It is inspired in Mame and the work of bzhxx and kbeckmann. Thanks a lot!

Handheld DreamX

By Dempsey_86

Handheld DreamX emulates a lot of old handheld machines from Coleco, Bandai, Tomy, Epoch... plus some vintage electronic games like "MB Simon".
Controls:
Controls are different for each game, and could be redefined in the second option of the main menu (press Start to get this menu).
But usually, games start pressing the WHITE button or the A button. In a few cases like the Pacman games, we should press Left or Up to start the game.
The normal controls include the 4 directions Up-Down-Left-Right and sometimes one or two buttons (usually A and B). In some games (marked in yellow color) a keyboard is recommended to be able to play.
Pressing BACK the emulator will prompt you if you want to finish the game. Press A to confirm or BACK again to cancel.
Several games have an option in the main menu ("Machine configuration") where you can set different difficulty levels or kinds of gameplay.
Finally, the emulator supports a simple feature to save state. To save state you must press the RIGHT THUMBSTICK (and A button to cofirm, or BACK to cancel), and to load state you must press the LEFT THUMBSTICK (and again, A button to confirm). This is useful because some handheld machines begin the game in a very slow speed (and sometimes it is boring if you are an expert in that game). Saving a state in the moment that the game becomes interesting, makes possible to skip this initial stage.

KegsX

By Dempsey_86

KEGS-X Apple IIgs/e/c/+ Emulator port for XBox
User Guide:
Almost everything can be changed from the configuration menu. Here are the
things that require manual modifications to the KEGSX.INI file included in
the package:
Samba share name - goes in the [GENERAL] section. Example:
smbshare=SMB://USERNAME:PASSWORD@COMPUTERNAME/SHARENAME

Screenshot directory - default is E:\SCREENSHOTS - goes in [GENERAL] section
Example:
screenshot_dir=E:\SCREENSHOTS

Skin directory - where skins can be found. Default is D:\EMUSKINS - goes in
[GENERAL] section. Example:
skin_dir=D:\EMUSKINS

Save directory - this is where you want all your saved games to be stored.
Default is E:\SAVES\KEGSX. Goes in [GENERAL] section. Example:
save_dir=E:\SAVES\KEGSX

The default ROM directory INI setting goes in the [GENERAL] section as follows:
rom_dir=d:\APPLEDISKS

If you change any of the above items, then you must upload the new KEGSX.INI
file to your XBox, load up KEGSX, then select "Force Reload D:\\*.ini
Settings" from the Configuration menu. Please note that this will overwrite
any of the setting changes you might have made after you first loaded
KEGSX.

Controls:
Select menu options with the DPAD or with R/LTrigger. The speed of
R/LTrigger movements can be controlled by :
Configuration -> Menu Scroll Speed
There are some places where you can enter or change values. This
can usually be done in a variety of ways include DPAD Left/Right,
R/L Trigger, and L/R Thumb. Try all of them if the values are changing
too slowly.
"A" selects the highlighted choice. "B" cancels/returns.
"Y" from a file-select list will go up one directory.

MADrigalX

By Dempsey_86

MADrigalX makes possible to play a lot of the "game and watch" handheld simulators developed by MADrigal... in your original Xbox! It is a standalone emulator based on the "game and watch" Libretro core and the work of Andre Leiradella.
User Guide:
Currently, 59 games are supported (54 of them are already playable at full speed!). You don't need to search for "roms", as the games are already included in the emulator.

Controls:
Each game has different controls, because each machine has different buttons. If you keep pressed the START button, you will see a help window with the key mapping for the game that you are playing to.
In a lot of games, the LEFT and RIGHT TRIGGERS are mapped to the "Game A" and "Game B" buttons. So, to start playing you should press the LEFT trigger (easy game) or the RIGHT trigger (difficult game). A few games have different controls though, and you can always see them pressing START.
Besides, if you press BACK you will toggle the ZOOM mode, making the screen larger. Please, be informed that zoom mode is experimental.
If you simmultaneously press START+BACK, you will exit from the game.
Known issues:
* There are a few games that are still not playable: Chicky Woggy, Crazy Chewy, Donkey Angler and Pac Man.
* The "zoom" functionality is still working bad in a few games.
* The coconut doesn't work well in the "Donkey Kong Jr (Panorama version)". This is not important because you can play the Coleco version, that is basically the same and works well 😉
* A few games rarely crash when booting. If this happens, please re-launch the emulator and run the game again.
These issues will hopefull been fixed in later updates.

Screenshots:

Credits:
Big thanks to Luca "MADrigal" Antignano for developing these awesome simulators and giving permission to make this possible, and also for his huge support with the rom list interface.
Besides, big thanks to Andre Leiradella (twitter handle: @leiradel) for his incredible work converting those simulators to Lua and creating the libretro core to run them.
Also big thanks to the Libretro team for caring about generic emulation for everybody!

MessoXtras

By Dempsey_86

MessoXTras is a port of the MESS emulator for Xbox. With MessoXtras, we can finally emulate lots of new systems that we didn't have in Xbox (both consoles and computers).
This first release supports 25 systems, but we can add more systems if we want. If you want to help, please contact with HCF.
User Guide:
HOW TO RUN IT
-------------
The emulator works easily: simply launch the "default.xbe" and select the desired console/computer that you want to emulate. After that, you will see all the games for that system, and you can select the one that you want to play. If the emulator displays a message telling "press OK", simply move to left and right the left analog stick, and the game will begin.
In the list of systems, you will see that some of them are green, and other systems are yellow. Yellow systems usually need a keyboard to play many games (you can use the Virtual Keyboard if you don't have a real keyboard plugged on your Xbox). Green systems should be easily controlled with a joypad.

DIRECTORIES: WHERE TO PLACE THE ROMS?
-------------------------------------
You must not change the directory structure, and you only need to know that there is an important folder named "roms". Inside of that folder, there is a subfolder for each system. For example, "roms/scv" is the folder for the "Super Cassette Vision", and "roms/cdimono1" is the folder for the Philips CDi. Do not change the names of these folders!
Those subfolders inside "roms" contain both the BIOS files of the systems and the ROMS (games). So, if you have a game for the "Super Cassette Vision", you have to copy it in the "roms/scv" path (more subdirectories are not supported).

Controls:
ESS have some "Generic" controls (valid for all the systems) and also some "specific" controls for each system. You can configure them in the Main menu, but we have created good configurations for almost all the supported consoles and computers.
In almost all the systems, you will be able to control the games with the left analog stick and with the dpad. The main buttons that you will use to start a game or for "action" are the A BUTTON or the WHITE BUTTON in almost all the supported systems, and BLACK button to select game modes.
Anyways, the "README-SYSTEMS-DETAILED.TXT" file will have information about the way to use each system.
Some special controls that work in almost all the systems:
* Left analog stick and dpad: Move
* A button: In many systems, it is Start or Action
* WHITE button: In many systems, it is Start or Action
* BLACK button: In many systems, it is the "Select" button
* START button: Main menu
* BACK button: Cancel or Exit (exit from a menu, or exit from the emulator)
* Left and Rigth triggers simmultaneously: Fast forward (boosts the emulation; it is useful to improve the loading times!)
* Press Left analog stick: Load State (read SAVESTATES section for more info)
* Press Right analog stick: Save state (read SAVESTATES section for more info)
* Move right analog stick: Opens the Virtual Keyboard (read the VIRTUAL KEYBOARD section for more info)
* Y button: It toggles the keyboard emulation mode (usually you will not need to do this).
* Left trigger: In systems with a keyboard, it is ENTER.
* Right trigger: In systems with a keyboard, it is SPACE.
FAQ:
FAQ
---
Q: Can you add more systems?
A: Of course. Adding more systems is easy... but learning how to use them can be a long task. If you are interested in adding a new system to MessoXtras and want to help, contact HCF. We will need anyone to learn how that system works, mainly if it is a computer and it needs some commands to be typed to load the games.

Q: Why didn't you add support to [ANY SYSTEM THAT IS ALREADY EMULATED IN XBOX]?
A: It is really easy to add support to Atari 2600, Gameboy, Sega Master System... Madmab and I tried to do it, but we saw that the emulation in Mess is a bit worse than in the standalone emulators. So, we think that adding already supported systems will only add confusion. Anyways, we are open to add any system if the emulation in Mess has any big advantage over the standalone existing emulators (we don't have found this case yet).
Q: The controls (for example the Start button to open the Main Menu) sometimes don't work!
A: You have probably pressed the Y button, that toggles the keyboard emulation mode. When you do it, some of the main commands don't work. Press Y button again to go back to the main emulation mode.
Q: How does the "Philips CDi" emulation work?
A: Surprisingly, it runs at very good speed. At first it worked like a snail, but we did a very effective optimization and now it runs at full speed in Xbox. Some games don't work because some video modules of the CDi are not emulated, but a lot of the most famous games run very well.
Q: How can I build valid CDi roms?
A: MessoXtras v0.5 supports CDi games in the old CHD format that was used in MESS 0.140. If you have CHD files for MESS, they are probably in the NEW CHD format. in the emulator there is a folder "chd_revert" with an script developed by Madmab, to convert files from the new CHD format to the old one, that is supported in MessoXtras.
Q: Parts of the top, bottom, left or right ofthe screen are cut off.
A: You can adjust the screen size by pressing Start button to bring up the menu. Then select "Slider Controls". Decrease "Screen Vert Stretch" to affect top/bottom and "Screen Horiz Stretch" for right/left.
