Have you ever wanted to record/broadcast a game that wasn't compatible with Xfire?
Tired of re-editing entries after each and every Xfire update?
Want an easy way to share your custom Xfire Game entries?
Want Xfire to update your status automatically for games that are unsupported?
Introducing Xfire Game Customizer!
I initially made a youtube video on how to manually get games to work with Xfire, but people still had trouble following it. So I decided I would make the process all automated for you!
Disclaimer
Xfire Game Customizer DOES NOT allow you to cheat or otherwise affect the gameplay of a game. This program is not designed to give you an edge in your game!
Description
Xfire Game Customizer allows you to use games with Xfire that would otherwise be incompatible. What this means is that you could, for example, get Dolphin (Gamecube Emulator) or Project64 (Nintendo 64 Emulator) to record/broadcast video.
I tried to make the interface as user-friendly as possible, but if you have an idea on how to make it even easier, please let me know.
Xfire Game Customizer is currently in-beta. This means that it probably has bugs/is still being updated frequently.

Personally tried and tested it myself. It works very well and allowed me to use xfire with an MMO still in beta form. Definitly a revolution in the was xfire will work.

Wow, I leave for a couple hours....
Thank you Ben McDermott. Finally a sensible post .
I don't blame anyone for being suspicious of the file, but as you can see from that report, it's clean. Like I said earlier too, If a mod would like to review the source code for the program, they are free to do so.
I will be posting some help videos soon. I'm sure that once you see the videos, you will know that I am not here to steal your account.
Also, if you want to talk to me, add me on Xfire or Skype (hypnotoadtrance) I will tell you all about it. For now, I am making a help video my number one priority.
Thank you.

It worked perfect for me. I used it with Dungeon Siege 2 Broken World, it worked wonders. But if you use it for an emulator, make sure the emulator uses plugins. I would just recommend a couple of tweaks here and there for people who know very little about computers (like me) and a spell check.

Version 1.2 Released
Great news everyone, I made the program even more user-friendly.
It will now try to automatically find the renderer used in-game.
Also added settings menu. (options->settings)
I am greatly impressed with myself in that I was able to get it to detect the renderer. Note that it is still experimental, so if it doesn't detect the renderer, you will need to wait for further improvements.

Thanks for the spot of encouragement, and oddly enough that you should mention it, I am now part of the Xfire GM team. So yeah, I technically "work" for them now. But I'm keeping that on the down low until I establish myself well.
If you have any problems with the program, let me know and I will try to fix them.

This seems like an awesome thing you're doing here, man... I'm looking forward to getting this to work, as I have several older games and programs that I like to use, which I would like xfire to detect and change my status accordingly when I start it up to show people what I'm doing.
However, whenever I start the program up and click "Auto Setup," an error pops up that says:
"Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.
Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. Parameter name:index"
Here's all the code that is posted with the error:
See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.
************** Exception Text ************** System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. Parameter name: index at System.ThrowHelper.ThrowArgumentOutOfRangeException() at WindowsFormsApplication2.autosetup.autosetup_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Form.OnLoad(EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Form.OnCreateControl() at System.Windows.Forms.Control.CreateControl(Boolean fIgnoreVisible) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.CreateControl() at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WmShowWindow(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ScrollableControl.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Form.WmShowWindow(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Form.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.OnMessage(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)
************** JIT Debugging ************** To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this application or computer (machine.config) must have the jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section. The application must also be compiled with debugging enabled.
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer rather than be handled by this dialog box.
Also, before I started getting this error, I actually had linked up a program called "Mid's Hero & Villain Designer" with it (no renderer--it plays in a window, like iTunes), and although it would say in my status bar (where you can physically change your status manually) "Mids Hero & Villain Designer," it would not actually broadcast that to any of my online friends or list it beside my name in my friends list. I asked several of my friends if they could see that status displayed next to my name, and they replied that all they saw was "Online."
Help?
"Alien"

EDIT: Anyone receiving this error should go to Options->Settings and "Clear Saved Data". This has been proven to fix this issue. I will post a fix once I think I have fixed the problem.
Oddly enough I have been getting reports of this error, and I thought I fixed it several times?
I am unable to reproduce this error myself.
You might be able to fix it by going to:
Options->Settings and click "clear saved data"
What version are you using?
What windows are you using?
Did the program always do this, or did it start happening after you deleted an entry from the "previously loaded" list?
Also, you can remove the JIT information from your post now, I copied it to a text file.
As for it not updating your display, I just tested it myself, and it will show it for me, but no one else. Darn, I will need to find a way to fix that. I'm sorry about that, I will edit the main post and remove that as a listed feature until I fix it.

Alright, I released 1.3.0.2 this version should prevent the error, but I can't say for sure, because no matter how hard I tried, I could not even reproduce the error.
I also fixed a problem with the Auto Fill-in button, it will now configure itself for direct input, if it finds it.
Also, I changed the icon for Xfire Game Customizer. Hope you all like it.
