The 4978.03 patcher currently doesn't (and may never) support dash options. Maybe team x-ecuter will release some info on how they pack the XBE inside the kernel. Only 4978.03 is supported.

That was included in the zip file

Supported BIOS Types Xecuter2 4978.03 Xecuter2 4977 Xecuter2 4976.02 Evox M7 EvoX D.6 EvoX D.6 Eject Fix (And boot from media versions of the above firmware using a debug config.)

That was directly from the webpage.

I do not know if they make a 4978.03 bfm version, but if it is 4978 bfm, it will now work at all.

Also....

As of 1.0.8b15: X2 4976.02, X2 4977, and Evox D6 kernels all now have 128 character limits on the dashboard pathnames. There are 3 edit boxes, one for each of the first 3 dashboard pathnames. If none of the first 3 are found then the kernel will attempt to load c:xboxdash.xbe. I will probably add an edit box for the fourth dashboard later.

So the D6 should work.  I was able to open and edit the d6 bin file, but was unsuccesful.  I just got a black screen.  I do not know if you want to try that bios dragor, but I will again this weekend.

can any xbtool gurus help us out?

Ok guys, status update:

I am rewriting the package from scratch.

The new package will be based around MXM instead of evox, and I plan to use the built in scripting to take over for most of what the xbe's do now.

Besides this, the big changes will be:
Support for the Evox D6 BIOS (Or any BIOS you can edit with XBTool!)
Ability to remove the save game without uninstalling the exploit.
Will autopatch the MSDash for ripping music.
Swapless Audio hack.

This is gonna take a little while, so I appreciate your patience on this.

Built in scripting thanks to BJ!

OK, here is yet another status updat:

MXM is def. going to be the new dash. For those of you that haven't tried it, it is more visually appealing and offers much more flexibility.

I now have some of the scripts working in it. But have not fully tested them (and, as I have two bottles of wine in me, now is not the time to do so!).

MXM is going to be a big change for most of you, it offers almost all of Evox's functionality, plus quite a bit more!.

But as I see it now, the package will be reduced in size considerably and will support just about any bios.

This package is going to take me at least a couple of weeks to put together, so you will have to accept some delay here..... I'm learning as I go.....

Things I gan say up front tho:

1. The package should only require one additional XBE, instead of the 5 it has now!
2. Load times are a little slower, but acceptable.
3. You will want to learn the MXM XML files to cusomize your dash.
4. Upgrade is NOT an option... Sorry!

I have not asked BJ's permission to redistribute his dash, so it all depends on that.....

I'll keep this thread up to date on wat is going on!

I played a lil around with MXM, only because it will be in the package, but I have to say I still like Evox.  This may not be relavent.  MXM does have a very nice xml that seems to be fully custimizable(is that a word?).  I think im going to try to make MXM boot evox as soon as mxm boots up.

anyways, Morden,  Are you planning on using PBL1.3 or PBL1.3.5i?  Or will that be a hassle cuz all would have to be edited through xbtool?

I assume you used an action replay to get the save to your HD... If so try using a standard MS mem card.

Mordon? Does this matter?

Also, doesnt the REAL actionreplay use a standard memory card anyway?

[Mordenkainen]

Yes, it means you were not copying all the files over, or you altered something before transfering it.

Also, yes the action replay uses a standard mem card. but the quality of that mem card is real bad. Bad sectors, reduced capacity, and corrupted saves are common.

Wait a minute! The bird appears when you click install? If thats the PBL bird you are talking about, thats not my package!!!!!!!!!

In any case the error 21 means the file was altered, in this case it is install.xbe..... You are transfering the subfolders as well right?

[Mordenkainen]

Try a newer version of XBTool.....

The entries are there when I look at them!

?

[Mordenkainen]

Well, error 21 means a file got changed so the signature didn't match, or a file could not be loaded.....

Since PBL is loaded, signatures are not checked, so the install.xbe is missing or damaged. No other possible explanation.

As for when Joranadus, I didn't answer because I don't know... Just be paitent!
