Fantastic on the artwork links, will get them into the next version. I will probably release the source soon too as I won't have much free time over next week or 2. Should get new version out for tomorrow though.

I'm testing version 0.03

Xbla games works fine, but i can't play the other games because there's no "Play XXX" button on the game page.

Also some errors on the games titles:
Version 0.01

Version 0.03
Image 2

Thank you for this app (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I've found this happens beacuse i've deleted the gameinfo and xextool folders in the cache folder.

Awesome work on the app axc97c. You're the man!

Just a side note for noobs like me: For the visual c++ 2008 runtime, download the x86 and NOT the x64 even if running 64-bit windows. I did the x64 version first and still got the error, then the x86 which worked fine.

Been having a better look at the khuong.

http://tiles.xbox.co.../background.jpg

Works fantastic, also can end in smallboxart.jpg and largeboxart.jpg. Wonder is there are more endings? Cant find anything on google.

The 2nd url, seem to be good for banners for xbla games and a large portion of 360 games, but havent been able to get screenshots from there.

Ive now also got what i think is a complete set of icons for the games, so when i get the next version out, please let me know if you find any missing.

Having a few issues with the longer url, for example, hexic only gets info about the theme...

Well, ive decided i cannot get the results i want to get basing my work off the kiosk dash, so ive decided to take a different direction and create my own dash.

Ive been messing with the code and after a day i have a way of getting everytihng running as i wanted.

The plan is to have a dsh with several sections, XBox 360 games, XBOx 1 games, XBLA Games, Applcation/Emulators/Homebrew (not decided which yet) and a File browser.
I want to be able to filter by genre in 360 and xbla sections, and have meta data and screenshots and artwork for each title where possible. I will use a content indexer (based on this one) that creates an xml file for the content of each menu on the dash so people can edit as they please. Shouldnt take too long to be done.

Thing is, im horrid at artwork for the dash, so if anyone has any suggestions or is will to create a few images for it please let me know.

As for the content indexer, im releasing the source code so anyone who wishes can continue working with it.

Great idea, i'm sorry i'm no good at programming and gfx to help you.

But i like to see "infinite" sections in the dash (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Sounds like a plan mate. Look forward to seeing what you knock up.

Very glad you released the Source code.

Thanks for the work and effort that you have put into this. I'm not sure how many people are using this at the moment, but for me it has saved me many many hours of creating ini's for my stuff over and over again.

Good luck on the new dashboard. Keep this thread alive so I can try and help you along your way! As it is I have been refreshing 10+ times a day in the past week

5+ hours of my life being saved is worth a lot of respect

thx again

keep up the good work. the kiosk is by far the best alternative dash and the indexer saves alot of time, but i too would like to see different sections for xbla games, xbox1 games, etc. Creating your own dash would be great i would love to see it. something that looks like the kiosk would be great. the reason why i like the kiosk so much is because its the it looks professional visually, it has the best gui, and the photo and info is customizable. though, starting from scratch takes alot of work. I would help but i only just started taking c++ in college this semester, so i would be of no use. sorry. i would, however,like you to know that i appreciate all the work you are doing and hope that you continue to work on the your own dash. also, while i cant speak for other people, im sure there are others out there that feel the same way. if you still need help with the art work lemme know and i will see what i can do to help

This is amazing work axc97c. I'm also stoked to hear you talk about an entirely new dash with separate categories as that is _exactly_ what i've been looking/waiting for.

Keep up the great work and I can't wait to see what you come up with for a dash!
