Thank you, JCROCKY5. This work has made my life easier when it comes to working on my xbox collection. I remember starting off with a Xecuter 2 mod. I know I am late to this thread, but it is still relevant to what I am working on.
WOW This is superb this needs more attention. Will drop a donation when i can spare a few quid, just wanted to say thanks as well, i soft modded my xbox with help of your tutorial and also fixed a few 480p game issues my model is a 1.6 so that helped a lot. Thanks
Hi, I know this video is from a long time ago, thanks fort this tutorial by the way ! But should I take a specific photoshop ? If yes, which one ? I tried at least 4 different photoshop but it doesn’t work with the selection error Thanks
JCRocky5, is there a place where we can submit art for inclusion in future versions? I'm working through a couple for common Halo Modpacks and for StepmaniaX.
@JCRocky5 First off, thank you for all your work in the original xbox community. xbmc4gamers in combination with the artwork installer is the best thing that has happened to the original xbox community in recent years. I just have a question about this tutorial. When I want to make open case back (disc) or 3d covers to banners I get the error: "the command select is currently not available". could this have to do with my version of photoshop? (version 2020 in English) If so, which version of photoshop are you using?
@@JCRocky5 Thanks for the quick response. I will try to download an older version and see if it works. Edit: Tested with photoshop CC 2018 and 2019 but neither solves the problem unfortunately.
is there a writen guide somewhere? I found this video to be rather confusing. And the files I just downloaded look different than the ones in the video. I got some experience with photoshop but not with batches etc .. Too bad the old artwork installer is not hosted on Google drive anymore either .. I just got my xbox up and running with xbmc origins and it looks amazing, but missing all the artwork now ...
Hi JCRocky5, I appreciate your work, you must really know your stuff with software programming. I wanted to know if there's a repository or somewhere people have made PAL artwork for this XBMC? I have many PAL games but they've mostly gotten NTSC-U artwork applied, it seems there's not much PAL in the download currently. Thanks (If not, I'll start trying to scan and make them using this tutorial)
Thank You for all the artwork, I have downloaded every NTSC/U xbox game 872 games in total. I have setup a modded xbox with a 3TB hard drive, F and G has 1044GB of space formatted to 64kb cluster size, do you think all the games will fit? Using a 3tb drive to get that extra 190+Gb of extra space.
Hello JCRocky5, I need advice please ....., i installed the xbmc4gamers in my xbox and perform all the steps correctly as in the video, the case is that I wanted to update my dashboard (the one of microsoft that comes from the factory ms dashboard) to put more resolution to my xbox and I saw it in the xbmc4gamers and decided to install it, what happens? that my console has softmod and I did not realize until once installed that it said in a small note that it was not installed in consoles with softmod, what happens? that when I installed it the console was still working well and everything was correct, in fact I did not modify anything on the hard disk or update the dashboard, but the worst part was yet to come ...., once the console was turned off and on again step the putada .... ERROR 21, the XPLOIT is eliminated (I can not use neither zxbinstaler nor anything), the unleashed x is eliminated, and the only thing I can do is use original games that is the only thing that loads the xbox, I have to say that it is as if the unit C had been formatted to simply install the dashboard there, the other partitions are fine but C is formatted and I can not do anything other than load an original game and play it. my hard drive is an IDE of 160 GB, I do not care if I have to lose all the contents of the hard drive or that is broken in order to revive the console, JCRocky5 please i ask for help, is there something in this case I can do? any solution?.
If you cannot load an exploit save on the HDD you will need to hotswap the drive and repair it via a PC. If you have the eeprom.bin saved from that Xbox it will make it slightly easier as you can just unlock the drive, build and relock it. But it’s just as easy to hotswap. There are videos on UA-cam ( here ) on how to hotswap and repair an Xbox HDD. Also upgrade your softmod to a more secure one that won’t let you botch it.
@@JCRocky5 Exactly, i can not do anything , just play original Games . But Rocky i don't have a pc with IDE connector can i use a modern pc? Or there is other way to do hotswap? No , unfortunately i didn't change or save my eeprom... That's why the problem is bigger....
Am going to assume you’re in a newer version of PS CC? Can’t remember the version I have, but it’s older before they removed layer 0 so that broke the actions as they look for layer 0. Am sure it also broke some other layer stuff as it’s now different in newer versions.
I keep getting "The command "set" is not currently available" error when trying the posters action. Maybe it's because I'm using a newer version of PS?
Yeah I used PS CC, newer ones they changed the layer names eg... so there is no layer 0 anymore it starts at layer 1. This breaks the actions. I tried hex editing them but I got the error you got. Only way round it it to redo all actions, and if am honest I can’t be arsed 😂 I redone those actions so many times to fine tune stuff I don’t want go near them anymore.
Hi, rocky. For the Baldur's Gate there is no downloadable cover in the XBMC4Gamers. How can I manually put it? I can not find the cover folder Sorry x my english.
You will have a different region that the supported artwork, you can find the folder in Q:\system\scripts\xbox artwork installer\artwork\NTSC or PAL You can open the txt file that’s in the artwork folder and search for the game and that will tell you the location. (May require the titleid)
@@JCRocky5 Hello rocky, I already solved, the game Baldur's Gate 564E0006 has no cover, edit the text, replaced the NTSC with the PAL and the cover already appears. thank you very much for this, it looks amazing 🙌
@@JCRocky5 Rocky how can I cover the emulators? try with _resources \ emulator.jpg but it does not work, I do not understand in which folder the covers go, in the root of the emulator it does not work ..
It’s the exact same as games _resources folder structures. But you just have artwork for the emulators. drive.google.com/drive/folders/1a3ZaFTuuu5L7lDbnOjmA5tlHhrwpWFKC?usp=sharing There are prebuilt ones in that link.
@@JCRocky5 Ehm...I just installed xbmc4gamers and it would be nice to have artwork for the games... (?!) I'm sorry if I am going about this the wrong way O.o
You download the artwork installer from the downloader, it’s an application. The source files are massive and can’t run on the Xbox, also you would need to build them all and it takes hours to do.
@@JCRocky5 Oh that's a shame...anyway, typing from Italy, at least 2 weeks of lockdown, plenty of time, but regardless... Thanks for the reply ! Cheers !
You do realise there is a built in downloader in XBMC4Gamers? It’s under the settings menu, you can download apps, dashboard, DLC, artwork eg... from the Xbox itself.
As long as the folder is on C it should work fine. If it’s complaining about a file path it’s because the path is wrong. The Create _Resources Artwork folder should be on the root of C, with the other folders in that directory. PS settings aren’t taken into consideration with recorded actions, it only does what I have recorded it doing. Just make sure you run the .bat file to make the correct directories, because if they don’t exist it may throw an error. Or if you can record the screen of what’s happening for me that would help a lot more.
@@JCRocky5 Thanks worked it out had to take folders out of resourse art work and place them each in c drive will try the rest of the video at the weekend let u know how i got on
I connected My Xbox with My módem (ethernet). But when i tried to enter the Dowloader. Nothing happend. Sometimes appear a message to download a 3.0 Mb. But don't download nothing
The reason I removed it is the artwork installer is a standalone app now. And it would require users to manually remove it to free up 500MB of space. So I had to make the choice and remove the old version that gets installed internally to gamers/emustation and only allow the app version that is on the new downloader. (Google drive)

@@JCRocky5 Simple fix. I downloaded an older version of PS now it works beautifully.
I have some few arts for CD and backgrounds I created, but non using your resources. I can share them if you like it. :)
top perfect
Should the artwork install, install synopsis too?
If you download and run the artwork installer yes synopsis is included.
Full source also has the synopsis, but that’s 23GB.
I figured it out. Thx. This is beautiful! I have some missing artwork, but most of is here
What version of PS is being used as my version goes through the actions manually and fails ahlfway through.
CC v14.2.1 x64
