The ability to create shortcuts to .xbe files in xml format has been implemented in XBMC.
In addition, it allows you to launch a specific ROM from an Xport emulator. This allows you to create direct links to specific emulator ROMs from My Programs.
In order to create a shortcut, simply create an .xml file saved with a .cut extension in any location on the XBox hard drive.
Note that shortcuts can not be launched from a network location, such as a SMB share!
In order to use the shortcuts, simply create a media source to the folder containing the .cut files in My Programs.
Examples
This example will cause f:\apps\XBMC\default.xbe to be launched when the .cut file is selected
<xml> <shortcut>
<path>f:\apps\XBMC\default.xbe</path>
</shortcut> </xml>
This example will cause NeoGenesis to launch Sonic the Hedgehog when the .cut file is selected. Here we also use the <label> and <thumb> entries to make it pretty.
<xml> <shortcut>
<path>f:\emulators\NeoGenesis\default.xbe</path> <label>Sonic the Hedgehod</label> <thumb>f:\thumbs\sonic.png</thumb> <custom> <game>f:\emulators\NeoGenesis\sgenroms\Sonic the Hedgehog.smd</game> </custom>
</shortcut> </xml>
