NeoGenesis v23

Nes6502 released an update of the NeoGenesis(info) emulator for Xbox1.

“NeoGenesis Sega Genesis/Megadrive/32X/SegaCD/MegaCD Emulator for XBox v23″
What’s new/fixed:
-Added support for video previews. Video previews must be in xmv format and placed in the Videos folder. Users running at 1080i need to adjust the font for the game select screen to the following:
Game Select Settings
Max Text Width: 220
Number of Lines: 10
Font Size: 20
Line Height: 32
The Xbox does not have enough CPU power to render several true type fonts at 1080i and update the video preview. This does not apply to 480i/p or 720p.

T3CH released a new SVN compile (rev14095) of XBMC for Xbox (XboxMediaCenter(info)).
This T3CH-compile is a complete snapshot of what is in SVN at the time the build was compiled, with just a few small additions.

Special Notes and Added/Noteworthy/XML/Script changes:
* It’s time for the final but oh so crucial FINAL VOTE in SF CCA 2008! It is really important that you vote and tell all your friends to do the same, else XBMC won’t win anything (like happened back in 2007). If you like what I (T3CH) do for you, PLEASE VOTE for XBMC :) You have less than a week (Voting closes the 20th). More info in this thread.
* AMT updated to pre-0.99.6.
* I will no longer include the Win32.exe that was only meant as a skinning and python development tool. Instead I suggest you use the WIN32/SDL version based on linuxport branch. You can find more info about it here (see the sticky for download).
* added: python can now access all container type controls. only supported in windowxml scripts. (Thanks JMarshall) (backported from linux branch rev 13983)
* added: python method skinHasImage(). Returns True if the image file exists in the skin. (Backported from linux branch rev13903) exists = xbmc.skinHasImage(’ButtonFocusedTexture.png’)
