Media X Menu is a menu system to launch applications from a DVD collection or from
a hard drive. It is intended to be very configurable and allow new "styles" to be added
in, both with simple visual changes (skins), or adding 3D effects (later) to the presentation
of the menus by re-writing the software.
It was intended to supercede Complex Menu X, which has some bugs and is lacking many
desired features that MXM now has.
* Impliments the "Simple" theme, allowing a title screen, menu screen, loading screen
and saver screen, each with configurable elements (custom backgrounds, custom bouncing
logo for the screen saver)
* Simple theme uses Skins based in subdirectories, and can use randomly selected skins
on every run of the program.
* Launches applications from the hard drive and the CD/DVD drive.
* Screen saver!
* Can play one or more music tracks, with multiple options, such as-
- Disc-specific tracks (played from subdirectory, for example)
- Can play from the XBox soundtracks the user has on his hard drive
- Can play random or in order
* Supports BMP, PNG, TGA, JPG image formats as well as WMV video files!
* All settings are done via XML file support, a format familiar to many users.
* Supports 640x480 at the moment. Sorry, just ran out of time to get the multi-res
support in.
What's new?
Beta 0.9d
* Fixed a problem that prevented Auto-config from finding the correct *.xbe file, even if
it was specified in the MXM_Entry.xml file. It will work correctly now.
* Added WMV as an Auto-config media type (It will use a file named MXM_SS.wmv in the game
directory.)
As usual, the MXMReadMe.txt file has been posted in alt.binaries.xbox, alt.binaries.cd.image.xbox, and alt.binaries.games.xbox. Those looking for more information will find it there. The MXMReadMe.txt file should also be posted on the #xbins server.
