In-store Demo Dash...
« on: September 18, 2004, 10:24:00 PM »

i went to a gamestop today and it's the first time i ever paid any attention to the in-store xbox display (fable sucked me in).  anyway, i couldn't help but be seduced by the 'dashboard' at work on this in-store display.  the menus were very animated.  depending on where you were in the menu, the menu would be on right or left and the video preview would also change sides...animatically.  i've briefly looked at MenuX and CDX.  i suppose it's possible that this display was using CDX, but the config file for it must have been really sophisticated...more so than i thought was possible.  so, does anybody know for sure what these in-store displays use for their 'dashboard'?

i thought it would...that's why i paid $10 newstand price for it :) hmm :(

i got the october issue (#36).  it doesn't have an INI but it has like an INX or something like that...which can be edited with any text editor that supports unicode text.

i wonder what the region/media flag is for the xbe.  if it could be run from hdd on any region unmodded xbox, i wonder if it has a font bug that can be exploited for a possible UDE3 :)

if the xbe on disc can't be run from hdd, i did see a commented command in it's 'ini' file that said something like...

#Build disc on hdd
#BuildDisc c:\projectxbox\

something like that (i can't remember specifically)

some of the first custom dashes were built off of hacked oxm/other demo disks menus
