Seems to be some display issues for me. The left of the screen is cut off and I can't read most of it because of that.

You must be running the lowest possible xbox resolution. 480i.  Support starts at 480p...Sorry, but I'm trying to put too much information on the screen to worry about cramming it down any smaller.  If you aren't running 480i, then you need to adjust the overscan on your monitor/TV.

how do i get this to launch from game trial menu? like other programs, and my earlier versions of xm360?

Make a quicklaunch container for it?  Maybe you were getting the packaged LIVE versions before?  I don't know where those came from, since I never produced one... I use quicklaunch.

sorry the lame question. with this software we can run DLC ?
for example i have assassins creed 2 and a DLC. i run it from this app?

*sigh*  I'm not sure why I'm even bothering with this one.
There's no such thing as "running" DLC.  You run a game, it looks for it's DLC.  Either you have it, or you don't.

Only thing I've came up with is maybe a region filter option?  As my list of games I don't have is full of American titles which I can't get here in the UK, from 360 or xbox.com
Not sure how how hard it would be or if even worth it just a thought

Thanks for the suggestion...but I don't think there are any "region" indications that I would be able to make use of... If anyone knows of any, please clue me in.

In the meantime, this is what the "Ignore" feature was implemented for...

does this work for avatar stuff too?

@risky buisness

To get avatar content to work you need to use Le Fluffie to open your profile so you can get your XUID/PUID number (offline accounts that have never seen live will not have one and can not use these items at this time). Once you have that number open YarisSwap 7.b and put that number into the appropriate spot (you only need the last 12 digits of this number), then use goto folder button to open the avatar item you want to use, check the avatar dlc replace XUID box, then hit he red button. Now you can ftp content to (hdd1:\content\000000000000000) hope this helps

Just installed it.
Very nice update!
I just used the report feature and it will really help me complete my collection.

One thing i am having trouble seeing what button is highlighted. It might just be cause i am color blind but when i am trying to select a side option like Rescan All, Unlock XBLA and so on i find it really hard to tell what one i am on.

Interesting...that's basically the default skin that comes with the XDK.  It shouldn't be difficult to fix that for people who are color blind.

Just installed v1.2 now, love it! :-)

Keep up the good work man!

You have come a long way node. I am very pleased with this app. Was a bit worried about you and distruk having to many apps going at once. I worried for nothing. You have done a remarkable job on this. I do have a request though.....  

   ...Any way possible you guys could make a game save manager. Its surprising no one has made one yet or even implemented it into the new dashs. Thx again and plz keeo up the good work, many of us greatly appreciate it.

I love suggestions, so keep 'em coming... But, I'm not too familiar with the concept of a game save manager.  What would it do?  What is the purpose?  Can you point me at any similar apps elsewhere?

And now, a question...I had seriously considered holding off on releasing 1.2 until it had a few real features in it.  The only "feature" in 1.2 is probably the fact that DLC now shows it's release date and rating if it was scraped from the marketplace.  The feature I was most considering adding is as follows:

Every time you "launch" and XBLA title from within XM360, track it.  That leads to the idea of sorting by most launches (your favorites), manual clean-up of titles you *never* launch [add the ability to Delete content], and displaying the last launch date of each title.

But then I started wondering if I should even bother...The problem is that most people will use a dash, or a launcher, and not XM360...so, the whole concept is broken.  Then there's the fact that the (at least my) 360 almost never has the right date since I'm always unplugging it, so date stamping would be wrong most of the time anyway.

So, I'm ready to concede any features around keeping track of favorites to other apps (like freestyle).  So, the question.  Is that a sensible thing to do?  Is anyone *actually* using XM360 as a means to launch their XBLA content?  To be honest...I do...I run xm360, go into the collection manager, sort by rating/titles that I have, and make sure I'm launching the highest rated titles...But I might be the only person using it that way.

Is it possible to configure XBLA launch path?

Would it be possible to sync the time using a ntp server? I also always unplug the 360 and that would be a kick ass feature.

I can honestly say i never launch a arcade game thru it. Just like xexmenu xm360 is more of a "app" than a launcher or dash. Dont get me wrong it has great features for what it is which is a content manager. xm360 is one of the few apps out now that are even worth using anymore. Xexmenu was needed before freestyle now it doesnt serve any real purpose that couldnt be done using freestyle.
 
    Plz dont take this as freestyle rules the world its just what it is a great dash and a great starting point for the hombrew scene. If i was you guys i would hop aboard and put your skills to even better use.

  Now as far as save manager goes just take a look back at old xbox hombrew. Every dash had a save manager that would allow us to see save art, folder id. I was thinking more like all the resigners and achieve unlockers out there but just in 1 package running from the box itself. Just something to think about. It will def be needed for freestyle considering even the stock dash has a way to "see" your saves.

As far as ideas well here goes....Way to launch multi disc games....Fan speed option"s" for any app or dash lol......ROL option"s" for any app or dash.....Way to piggy back ftp to download small things from internet such as title updates xbins ect....media player!! duh i kno everyone asks!.......how about messing with guide button some if plausible....many more but even 1 of those would be great Plz remember these arent demands just ideas and some maybe even dreams.
