Here's my [MENU] it looks quite nice on the screen (if I do say so myself).

You have to make sure you use a skin that is compatible with the extra text which is colored green.

The extra text (headers) makes it easier for multiple uninitiated people to use the xbox.

[Menu]

Section "Root"
{
   Line "WELCOME TO XBOX!",2 = Green
   Line "CHOOSE A MENU ITEM",2 = Green
   Line "AND PRESS THE A BUTTON",2 = Green
   Item "launch DVD",ID_Launch_DVD
Section "games"
   Line "CHOOSE A GAME!",2 = Green
   Line "-------------------------------",2 = Green
   {
      SortStart
      AutoAddItem "e:\games\"
      AutoAddItem "f:\games\"
      AutoAddItem "g:\games\"
      SortEnd
   }
   Section "applications"
   Line "CHOOSE AN APPLICATION!",2 = Green
   Line "-----------------------------------------------",2 = Green
   {
      SortStart
      AutoAddItem "e:\apps\"
      AutoAddItem "f:\apps\"
      AutoAddItem "g:\apps\"
      SortEnd
   }
#   Item "Trainers",ID_trainer
   Line "-------------------------------",2 = Green
   Item "reboot",ID_Quick_Reboot
#   Item "Power Cycle",ID_Full_Reboot
   Item "power off",ID_Power_Off
#   Item "Lock Harddisk",@210
#   Item "Unlock Harddisk",@211
   Section "system utilities"
   Line "-CHOOSE A MENU ITEM!-",2 = Green
   {
      Item "evox settings",ID_Settings
      Item "skins",ID_Skins
      Item "flashX","f:\apps\flashX\default.xbe"
#      Item "flash BIOS",ID_Flash_Bios
      Item "backup",ID_Backup
   }
   Line "-------------------------------",2 = Green
   Item "ms dashboard",ID_MS_Dash
}

This setup looks great on the screen, notice how I just #'d out the lines I don't want at the moment. I may to choose to add them in later and all I need to do is remove the # sign.

I have ,

AutoAddItem "f:gamesXbox"
AutoAddItem "f:games"

because XBCopy only copies to the f:games, i usually sort through the games and rename the folders from xbcopy001 and put them in the Xbox folder, i just put f:games there in case i wanted to try my backup real quick, also all the backslashes in my evox.ini are missing in that last post?

and those {} things are all out of place, if you want i can email you the ini file it looks all messed up in here thats why

I have two game menus. One fancy, and one as default evox game menu. The evox game menu is hidden within dash utils. The fancy one that launches most often looks like this:

This setup, although long to create makes it easy to find the game you wanna play.

anyone else want to put there evox.ini file up?

If you add the line:

AutoAddItem "d:games"

you can run games off a data DVD as though it were the hard drive. This is very convienient if you like to make several games on a DVD and don't want to worry about menu programs or ISO's.
