Another Question on the topic..
Is there a way to change the IGR (in game reset) for softmod?
I started using Evoxdash just for that so I can set it to "back and start" only 2 button reset.
Need this for my Coinops Cab (no trigger connected to joystick).
But now it reboots in to Evoxdash but if i boot directly in to coinops or visonary i lose the igr function.
I know you can change the IGR in bios for modchips but can i do this for my soft mod?
Need to copy my C drive to take a closer look forgotten how softwork work do they use a bios??
The xbox is not hooked on the network so its easier to ask the Question.
Sorry for my laziness did a search on google but dinÂ´t get the results i wanted....

No & yes, all IGR combos are hard coded in the softmod & bios, you can only change the type of IGR, ie, full reboot or soft reboot.

You could edit the source for NKPatcher, but I couldn't find the button entries when doing so.
(may have another look)

Hmmm :-( thats not so cool I was hoping for a method like the evox ini file:

[IGR]

Start_Button = Yes
Back_Button = Yes
L_Trig = No
R_Trig = No
White_Button = No
Black_Button = No
A_Button = No
B_Button = No
X_Button = No
Y_Button = No

This section is for use with the IGR. Buttons set to Yes must be held at once to activate IGR. Once again, I strongly advise against the evox IGR, and using the X2 igr.

NKPatcher.... i still use a old softmod; I think its bert and ernie...
Better connect the xbox and check it before I proceed. The Evoxdash is the best way I guess for now, made my own skin so it looks better.
But love to boot in to Coinops or any other Emu frontend
A quick and easy solution is power off/on this would restart the system back in to the frontend.
But I don't want to stress the xbox with constant power offÂ´s...

I most meditate on this one

Why not have the Xbox reboot when ever the eject button is pressed? I modded my softmod for someone that needed that as they wanted it for there kids.
(hit eject console reboots & tray closes, regardless of where the xbe is loaded)

I like your idea

but been looking in the source of nkpatcher
and found the button combo in config.inc

;;; In-Game Reset settings:
;;;
;;; IGR = Enable IGR code
;;;
;;; Button combinations:
;;; * triggers+back+start
;;; * triggers+back+black
;;; * triggers+start+black
;;;
;;; IGR_TO_DASHBOARD = Reset to dashboard, not DVD. Changed button combos:
;;; * triggers+back+start to dashboard
;;; * triggers+back+black to dashboard
;;; * triggers+start+black to first DVD, then dashboard
;;;
;;; IGR_FULL_REBOOT = Do a full reboot instead of the default quick reboot.
;;; Some games hang (Soul Calibur 2 during a match) with
;;; quick reboot.
;;;
;;; IGR_MASTER_PORT #port_number = Only allow IGR from pad port #port_number,
;;; where #port_number is 0-3 (0 the left-most
;;; port, 3 the right-most.)
;;;
;;; IGR is not enabled by default.

%define IGR
%define IGR_TO_DASHBOARD
; %define IGR_FULL_REBOOT
; %define IGR_MASTER_PORT 0
