GDOX.appto applications and open it. - open sources and add your mcpx rom and bios.
- connect the drive, then insert an original xbox disc.
- wait for the game name, then choose start xemu.
finder may grab the disc for a moment when you insert it. gdox retries for a few seconds. if the drive stays busy, leave gdox open, eject, and insert the disc again.
app contents and user data
the app holds gdox, xemu, and a blank hdd. your firmware, hdd, settings, and saves live in ~/Library/Application Support/org.gdox.gdox, so replacing the app leaves them alone.
games are read from the disc as you play. no microsoft firmware or game data is included.
