Games Explorer Folder - Add Games To

oh hi there said:

Ok I have attached an image of the reg info for one of the games that does not appear. Also, the games explorer page.

One game I had to enter manually that seemed to work was simcity4. I entered both silent hill games manually. The one I highlighted doesn't seem to update properly.

Lets see...

• Never edit BoxArt string value, so if you could put the original path or put this one instead:

"http://images.metaservices.microsoft.com:80/games/prod//AMG_CoverArt/drg300/g386/g38684lzmw0.jpg" (without quotes)

• Navigate to C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\GameExplorer\GamesBoxArt\

1. Find a new image for that game and put it there, just make sure the new image is a .jpg type.
2. Rename the image with the same key of the game.

The game key is the one selected.

NOTE: The key values might be different from yours.

Let me known if that helps...

Works perfectly now. Thanks. :)

NP, always a pleasure.

Hello, friends, and Happy New Year.
First of all, thanks for the great tuto, Rjck. It´s really appreciated.

Now, my problem: I don´t have sucess to classify Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (yes, the first one).
It´s not in the list, so I try the method 2, and achieve a good result in everything, except the ESBR Rating.
Yes, it´s a minor issue, but I want it completely tuned here, so, if someone could give me a help here, it will be very appreciated. ^^

Thanks in advance, and I´m sorry for the bad english - it´s not my native language. :)

Hope that solves the issue.

Hey, it works! You're a wizard Rjck! Thanks a lot

hey, i know this is now just too much, but is there any way to change the game version information? they're all at 1.0.0.0?

Nice tutorial but it leaves me more confused than explains how this works.

First of all where do you get these ApplicationID? I tried searching the GameUXLegacyGDFs.txt for these ID's and could locate them.

Second I think the text file is outdated since most games are not found here.

Third the games I already have that have box arts, etc, their own appids i cant find in the text file as well. The only game that I found there was Warcraft. Also my other computers have other games as well that are updated w/ box arts, ratings, etc have appid's that dont exist in the downloadable text file.

Can you explain this to me? Sorry for the trouble but I'm so confused now...

Also the games that you have in the tutorial, hidden something isn't even in the text file...

Have I somehow downloaded the wrong text file?

Thanks!

Unfortunately i haven't found it yet, it seems that only works if the game developers put that info in the new (GDF) schema, e.g. GTA IV, Street fighter IV, Devil May Cry 4, Resident Evil 5, Crysis, mostly new games.
