Hi! Back in RetroBat land (see you've made a lot of progress!)
I just got all my xbox360 games up and running in RetroBat (yeay!)
The format for an XBLA Ilomilo.m3u is:
\Ilomilo\58410A1B\000D0000\D2BAC6E5571A96D5BB3CEF0F1A3F4F25709C951358<no CR>
I discovered that .m3u can be used as a stub file for GoD (Game on Disc) folders (Final Fantasy XIII (USA-EU).m3u):
\Final Fantasy XIII (USA-EU)\default.xex<no CR>
equivalent .xbox360 files
Ilomilo.xbox360
Ilomilo/58410A1B/000D0000/D2BAC6E5571A96D5BB3CEF0F1A3F4F25709C951358<CR optional>
Final Fantasy XIII (USA-EU).xbox360
./Final Fantasy XIII (USA-EU)/default.xex<CR optional>
Currently these two .xbox360 files do not boot. The workaround, of course, is to use a script to change the formatting.
I think the way to address this issue is to use the same grammar to process .m3u and .xbox360 with the following rules:
- treat forward (
/) and backslashes (\) as equivalent
- make the leading slash (
\) optional (leaving it out is technically more correct as a relative path)
- make the trailing CR (carriage return) optional (CR must be left out for
.m3u and it would be ideal to handle both cases as many editors often add a "missing" newline at the end of a file)
It would be preferable to use existing .xbox360 working in Batocera Linux in RetroBat for maximum cross-platform compatibility as the Xbox360 rom collection can get quite large.
Support was first implemented in #174
