Xbox 360 Custom Remote

Post by Naturally Aspirated »

Hi all trying to find a way to save an in game session (Minecraft) remotely on my Xbox 360. The only way the autosave works is if the gaming remote is powered up and talking to the Xbox, however it goes to sleep after a few minutes of in activity (after I leave my house). I have looked up the custom created Xbox .mdu file for RemoteMaster but it doesn't seem to have some of the buttons associated with the gaming Xbox remote, only the media remote. I have googled and found the Pronto codes for the Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, and most importantly I believe the Windows Start button. I assume/hope that the Windows start button on the media remote equates to the start button to the right of the silver Xbox Button on the gaming remote. I guess the question I am getting at is how to convert the Pronto codes into the codes used in RemoteMaster to add those new functions. This is my first time fiddling with customizing my remote and it's a little over my head ha!

Any answer/advice appriciated, thanks all!

Not sure what version I have?? It's a Pro-HD

It would have helped if you had posted the Pronto hex and a link to the RMDU file that you found.

We have a lot of tools to convert pronto hex into data.

That particular code is
116.15 OBC 13.

I used IRScope to get that decode.
Remember to provide feedback to let us know how the problem was solved and share your upgrades.

Tip: When creating an upgrade, always include ALL functions from the oem remote, even if you never plan on assigning them to a button. Complete function lists makes an upgrade more helpful to others.

Sweet, so I can add that function with OBC 13 and put it on a custom button. I'll try it out!

13 wasn't it. I'll keep trying, Alan R is helping out with a trial and error set. Looks like all the functions are working on that the gaming remote has other than the start button and the directional sticks? Thanks!

You can't just add an OBC to any random upgrade and expect it to work. The pronto hex that you posted uses the MCE protocol with a device code of 116.15 and an OBC of 13. The upgrade file that you linked to uses the RCA protocol with a device code of 5, so the two don't match.

Try using this file instead as this one uses MCE 116.15 and it already has OBC 13 included (it's called "Start" in this file)

We've got ourselves into some duplicated work here, I was wotking in parallel over at http://answers.slingbox.com/thread/21583?tstart=0

OBC 13 actually triggers the 'Media Centre' command and doesn't wake up the box and we are trying all the unused commands to see if any of those worked.

Happy Xmas everyone :D
