[danger sucka]

i re-installed my windows xp agian so i can get rid of a virus.
i had to download all programs back like jungle flasher
i dont know how to install portio32.
so i had to do it manually and im kinda confused on how to do it.
i read the Readme notepads, still didnt get to install portio32 manually.
anyone can lead me the way on how to do it.

also how do i open bin, sys,and dll files? my pc cant open them

DLL's are executable code used by applications, you dont open them.

1. Open the Control Panel.

2. Open the "Add Hardware" wizard. If you are using Windows XP's default "Category View" for the Control Panel, this is done by clicking on "Printers and Other Hardware" and under "See Also" on the left, click "Add Hardware

3. The wizard typically displays a screen explaining what it is used for. Click Next to continue.

4. The wizard may automatically scan for new hardware. The scanning will not detect anything related to PortIO32.


5. You may be asked "Have you already connected this hardware to your computer?" Regardless of whether you have installed any cards yet, click Yes.

6. You will be shown a list of the hardware already installed in your computer. Scroll all the way down and select "Add a new hardware device" (I already have it installed, so you can see it in the pic)


7. You will be asked whether Windows should search for the new hardware. Select "Install the hardware that I manually select from a list"


8. A list of hardware categories will be shown. Select "Show All Devices" (On some versions of Windows this may be called "Other")


9. Click the "Have Disk" button and point Windows to the "win\driver" directory of the PortIO32 distribution.

10. A list of drivers found in the directory you specified will be shown. Select the "PortIO32 Xbox 360 Device Driver" item and click Next.

11. Click Next again to "start installing your new hardware."

12. The files will be copied and installed. Click Finish to complete. You do not need to restart your computer.

haha I figured it would be 100x easier if I just added in the tut with the pics

[danger sucka]

yea pictures always make things faster
i still dont get how to open like bin files n stuff?
got an answer for that?

[HaGGardSmurf]

Bin files are image files. They arn't really ment to be opened by users.

Image files are used as a 'package' on PC's

Like when you rip a DVD to your computer you will get a .bin file and a .cue file the .cue file stores the disk info, the length, disk name etc... the .bin file stores all the actual data.

Think of a bin as a Ziploc bag.

In the case of the xbox, Bin files are binary code that the drive uses to function.

[technoe]

.bin files are geared toward specific programs like jungle flasher or iPrep and designed to work as machine code usually. The only way to open is either with a hex editor or if you know how it was compiled you can use whatever program compiled it to see it in it's programmed form.
