Title: Easy MultiGame DVD
Post by: Boost on September 22, 2005, 05:58:37 AM
All you need for making a multi .xbe dvd is Craxtion4
I’ve tried a few other multigame creators and this is by far the easiest.

Open Craxtion4 and choose “New Multigame Disc�.

Now you can choose 1 of the 3 menu types
My Favorite is Menu X, you can add you own custom music and pictures to it.
The next is MXM, it’s a strait forward multigame creator.
The last is CDX, so far CDX is the best for function.
( CDX loads faster than the other 2 )
They all take about the same time to create.

Press Next.
Adding the .iso  ( Is as easy as 1 2 3 )
Press “add iso�
Choose a xbox .iso that you want, the game information window will appear.
You can change the title of the game, add a subtitle and even change the preview media.

Add more games; the dvd size meter at the bottom will get bigger with every iso you add.
Once you have added all your isos press next.
Now with Menu X you can add more custom items.
You can add music ( wma format ) a background picture and a loading picture. ( pictures have to be in PNG format)

So go buy some dvd-rw’s and try a few, the menus all look different when on the xbox.
Choose your favorite and have fun

hey, you know all those dvds ppl find on the internet?...  ok
you can use a program that changes the AVI's into Binks! (BINK AND SMASHER )
are you still with me..ok
once it's a bink you can make multi menu movies too! All with cusom backgrounds, music and logos.!!!

but this is basiclly a waste of time consedering XBMC play all those wonderful small AVI's right off the dvds as AVI's already... just put the dvd's in and go to play files and choose D drive.

but hey, If you get bored and want to do a special project, this will work..

I think I have a little too much time on my hands.
well back to the gym...

you can take out dashupdate.xbe, and update.xbe
also if you are in the states you can take out all PAL related items.
I don't have that game handy so not sure on what you can remove.
craxtion 4 is almost A,B,C when it comes to making multi-game games.
just follow the steps and take your time. it'll make a few of your iso's into 1 big ( try to keep it under 4.5gigs ) ISO.

when I make a multi-game I choose a bunch that are small, that how I get so many on 1 single layer dvd
metal slug 3 4 & 5 are under 1 gig total!
ultimate spiderman is 1 gig
capcom vs snk eo2 is under 500mb
marvel vs capcom2 is under 500mb
rollercoaster tycoon is under 300mb
just keep an eye out for those small games, you cam also do a huge homebrew pack on 1 DVD!

good luck
