is there a tool to turn off my PC from my xbox? sounds crazy but it would be ideal for those who use ICS and the pc is quite far away!

ey guys this is  a  real noob question, but im running a very old Evox (1.8.3752). How do i go about updating it to this new one and keeping all the same menu's?

I'm very interested in this too.  After reading some more info, and noting how one of the tutorials mentioned that 1.8.3572 is apparently slightly buggy and may cause loading problems in the game, I'd like to know how to update the evo-x in my xbox as well.

I'm using the pheonix loader with the audio hack, but I doubt that would make much difference from what I have read

It's actually pretty easy.

Make two directories on your PC:

evox_old
evox_new

Extract 3935 into the evox_new directory.

Connect via FTP to your xbox....back up your evox.ini and evoxdash.xbe (or whatever it's named) to the evox_old directory.

Open up both evox.ini files (the old and the new) on your PC.

Change the values under the [NETWORK] section of the new evox.ini file so it contains the same values as the old evox.ini file.

Replace the entire [MENU] section of the new evox.ini file with the information contained in the old evox.ini file.

Save and close the evox.ini file in the new directory.

Transfer the evoxdash.xbe and evox.ini back to the xbox.

IMPORTANT: If the evolution dash is named something different in the old directory, change the name of the dashboard in the new directory to match.
(For example, if the evolution dash is named xboxdash.xbe, rename the evoxdash.xbe file in the new directory to xboxdash.xbe).

That's it.

So I'm upgrading my hard drive, I've extracted the new EvoX zip file onto a cd.  I noticed there were other zipped files within the main zip.  I've also extracted those onto the cd and left the zip drives there.... is that going to be a problem?

with this new evolution x release, i ve had a problem on my PAL xbox with Top Spin (PAL version) when launching from evolution x, the game didn't boot, it just went straight back to evox so i change video setting from auto to default, and then no problem, but it seems that in the previous 3921, auto setting worked fine with top spin so, maybe it s a bug, i don't know...

I've had a (possibly) similar problem trying to run Deus Ex 2 (NTSC) on a PAL XBox - the game goes back to Evo after starting to load.

Not sure what's causing it. It happened with EvoX 3921 as well as 3935.

Hey all, I read through this thread and didn't notice anyone mention it, but with this new Evox dash IGR seems to be on even if it says "No" in the settings and evox.ini. I can still exit games with the button combo even if it's set to no. Is it just me? Another oddity I noticed is that the third skin in my Skins directory will never load, no matter which one it is! I have to have a dummy folder with an empty skin ini in the third position or I can't use one of my skins. This actually happened with the previous Evox release as well. A trifle of a bug, but a bug nonetheless which I was hoping would get fixed on this release.

x2 bios's have IGR.

As for the other issue... no idea man.

Hey, I've just upgraded, and everything works fine, the temperatures now even work. Just wondering though, it used to say "Matrix" or something like that on the bootup screen, but now it just says "MS" any ideas why it's done this?

You can inject an image (.raw) into the .xbe with logox.exe (note: this only works with evox bios's, x2 bios's over write this image with their own on the fly)

You can leave the action scripts there, they dont hurt anything, they are only used to un/lock the hard drive.

QUOTE

Are you meant to put that into your'e ini as well? I don't think so but..... Also, all I did was change the ini and copy the evoxdash.xbe over, is that all that needs to be done to upgrade? Thanks...

Scroll up and read the previous posts, especially snart's

EDIT: There seems to be some kind of bug - When I press "MS DASHBOARD" it reverts me back to the original version of EVOx, (the temps not working). The line is exactly the same, and it still says @3 at the end of it?

The ms dashboard pointer at the top of the .ini is pointing to an evox .xbe, not an ms dash .xbe.  The ms dash should be named xboxdash.xbe while evox should be evoxdash.xbe.

who would have thought evox had bugs?  

[leo5111]

Is there any chance of either scripting or implementing into the evox.ini menu and/or the evoxdash.xbe, the ability to load a particular new skin as you switch between different Sections of the evoxdash menu?

for example:
-----------------------evox.ini--------------------------------
.... snip ....

Section "Root", LOAD SKIN "XBOX_Main"
{
   Section "[XBox Games]", LOAD SKIN "XBOX_Games"
   {
      Item "Dead or Alive 3", "f:\games\doa3\default.xbe"
      Item "Halo", "F:\Games\Halo\default.xbe"
      Item "Ralli Sport Challenge", "F:\Games\RallySportChallenge\default.xbe"
      Item "World Series Baseball", "f:\games\worldseriesbaseball\default.xbe"
      Item "Boot DVD Game", "d:\default.xbe"
      AutoAddItem "f:\games\"
   }
   Section "[Emulators]", LOAD SKIN "XBOX_Emulators"
   {
---------------------------------------------------------------

The "LOAD SKIN" areas would be used or something like that.

Im trying to install my first dashboard and i have got a copy of evox 3935.

Do i have to change the ini file or will the settings work as standard?

I dont know the IP or network settings of my xbox and only really want to play backups and dvds!

cheers

Ripper-X- I had a similar problem. I tried loading the MS Dashbaord from the Evox Menu by choosing the item titled "Ms Dashboard". Well after I chose it, it started loading, however it reverted me back to evox menu. I went back to the evox.ini and found the problem, the evox.ini was directing the item "Ms Dashboard" to xboxdash.xbe. So what I simply did was change the settings so it would direct it to msxboxdash.xbe. Once I did that evox was successfully loading to the MS Dashboard. Hopefully this will help.

grr.gif ohmy.gif ... ok this is whats going on, i made a cd-rw evox3935 boot disc, it loads on my xbox perfectly.. now im trying to make the evo permanetly in my hard drive.. but something is stopping me. i think it has to do with this... this is what i press on the menu.. "System Utils", than "Settings".. than i see Network
exactly like this

(this is in blue highlited letters)

TYPE________________________________(blank)
IP__________________________________(blank)
line status____________________________(blank)
ethernet mac address_______________00:0d:3a:11:8A:AA

(this is in normal white letters)

SETUP NETWORK_______________________YES
USE STATIC IP________________________YES<------isnt this need to be on "NO"?
IP__________________________________192.168.100.10


i tried to NIC.. well this is exactly what i did...start, network connections, right click on LAN HIGH speed connection and clicked on properties, unchecked, than checked the internet protocol (TCP/IP), clicked on properties and this is how i have my ip address set 192.168.0.1. Sub net mask: 255-255-255-0.. and default gateway like this: 192.168.0.2.... now this is where it gets complicated, isnt the USE STATIC IP suppose to be "NO" instead of yes? well i try to change it, but it doesnt let me, i reboot, and still it doesnt let me. there isnt a change and save option on the bottom of the settings menu.... therefore its left unchange.. and this is whats causing(i think) my xbox not to connect to my pc... by the way im using a crossover ethernet cable.. please help me if you have any idea on what may be happening with my situation
