thanks for that list. that is very helpful.

i intend to get into the emulator scripts and add a whole boatload of comments, as soon as the initial development wanes. that will probably help.

another thing i came up against...it cannot be entirely an emulator. i tried and tried, but i had to add a few lines that will run when on the pc, that won't run when on the xbox. all the "too early to create image" errors can be fixed by explicitly calling an init function on the xbmcgui.window, but you only do that when emulating.

i won't include the code here, but i'll write up a readme (i meant to already) to include with the dev tools to explain how to write xbox scripts that can work cleanly with the emulator.

unfortunately, the emulator is just a dev tool--i can't write it to automatically work with everyone else's xbox scripts, but if devs want to use it when writing their own scripts, it only takes a few extra lines.

that's my intent, anyway. maybe once i've gotten it cleaned up and commented, and i release it to the public, some of the really clever guys can read through it and show me how to fix those things.
