QUESTIONS:
What does it look like in action?
Here is a clip of CoinOPS 8 :
My xbox is not modded can I still play it?
CoinOPS Massive is a huge download and WILL NOT fit on a standard xbox HDD, you will need a bigger HDD (Google it)
or Download Coinops 7 Lite when released. There are 4 versions of CoinOPS each having slightly different content.
How do I mod my xbox?
First off its not hard or expensive, but can be daunting if you are unsure.
NOTE: Coinops Lite will easiest for use on a stock xbox. You can upgrade this later if you wish.
How do I get it on my XBOX?
Simple, GILF…. Erm, I mean GIYF… (Google it for more info) Just use an FTP client, See this great video by Firebird:
Besure to change some of the settings on the FTP client, some people have trouble if they are not changed:
Enable transfer of 0kb files
Simultaneous transfers 1

Why can’t I find some of the game packs?
Due to other peoples GREED… To be honest people got sick of all the Hit n Runners, Moaners and People who think its there right to have access to packs yet contribute NOTHING. Memebers of the project are not here to serve you… They make game packs because they all learned how… Be thankful for what you have, if it bothers you that much and you cannot find a game pack then make it yourself and share it. Then you might just understand why.
NOTE: There are other methods and services to get this done, just google it.
Can I just upgrade from another version of CoinOPS?
Yes with some you can depending on your version, but that is not what we are covering here, odds are if you have CO7 full then you know how to FTP the
CO8 Standalone package over the top. (Personally I prefer a clean build everytime.)
I have added some games but they do not appear, why not?
This could be many reasons, but the main reasons are as follows:
You did not scan for new games
You installed Coinops 8 Lite / Gold / Massive and then added games for a system not included. (To fix this install CO8 Standalone over the top)
Many Questions are covered in the READ ME folder.
