AWESOME! i've been waiting for this release. Checking everyday for it Nice work!!

Thanks for the great release.  I really love the Text Editor addition and am looking for to the MP3 support, WMA isn't too useful.


However I did find some bugs/problems:

1. The virtual keyboard support works, but a lot of the keys on it don't work.  In the text editor the backspace key doesn't work so you have to go before what you want to delete and use the Delete key. Also the Enter key on the keyboard doesn't do an enter in the text editor, so you have to use the controller and the "Y" to do it.

2. The text editor need to have a text wrap or a faster way to scroll to the left/right.

So far that is all that I could find wrong in this release.  Keep up the good work, this is the best dashboard available for the Xbox.

The DVD Trey status is still wrong, when disk is reading, it says "closing", when game disk detected, it says "checking".

It works fine on mine, just messes the sound and music up when I insert a disc.  Turns off all audio, then I have to press down on the right thumbstick to turn the sound back on, after pressing the white and d-pad to reset the song.

Nice release...

The audio stopping when eject has been a known bug for awhile..it'll get figured out hopefully soon

OK, I tested a little with no autolaunch game on, it seems this dash reads the Trey action quite slowly, there's quite a delay between each status, the message says "closing" while reading the disk, then launch the game right at "checking".

Btw, it takes quite a while for the background music to start playing after each boot, I don't know what caused this.

I'm currently using v1.1 Xbox with X2 4976.02 bios

Nice Release, Haven't seen it lock up yet like the last one. But I do hear hiccups in my music when I check my games, apps, system settings.

Will there ever be a Controller reset  like evox or do I have to change the bios?

What do you mean by controller reset?  The two back triggers, black, and back reset the xbox, also their is one from the menu.

i get music hiccups too when i scroll through some menu's but i think it has to do with the icons in the menu, for instance, when i select emulators from the main menu i have about 20 or so icons to be shown so the music stalls for a sec while it loads the icons, probably to do with the file size for each icon. thanks unleash for the effort, keep up the great work!

there was a bug in the unofficial version. I wanted to know if it's still in this new release.
it's for multigame dvds. this is the old post I made I dont think anyone read it.

unleashx
I gave the SORT tags a try in making a multigame dvd.
it worked in listing the game like I wanted to except it displays everything very weird.

for instance in displaying grand theft auto

gr||d thef| au||

it does it for the rest of the skin also. it wont even display my F: drive size correctly.
4,|,3||| M| FR||

many other parts of the skin are seriously tweaked like this also.

this only happens with the SORT tags used on multigame dvds and not when using the ACTION ITEM tag.

the games work and launch fine however

btw. Im using the unofficial version. reason I started using it is because I have found no serious bugs besides this one and I have not experience ONE single lockup.

if you want I can send you the screenshot I took of it. pm me your email if you want to see it. Id post it somewheres but I dont have any webspace.

oh yeah, and my xbox is a v1.0 and my friends is a 1.5 but uxunoff says they are both 1.1+.

flame me anyone for using the unoff version but I thought Id post this anyways.



I would try the new version for multidvds. but I ran out of dvd-+rs .

Im having a problem with the game menu, when selected no games show up, but i can scroll threw the list (i hear the menu sounds, but no menu items are displayed) but after a few seconds the games appear. also if i go into the game menu and then back out (not scrolling just hit the games apear in the main menu...and whats really wierd is that the main menu items appear several times.

Ive deleted my items.xml and the unleash saves in the games saves. rebooted several times. I didnt have this problem in the unofficial build . I even dropped my old config.xml and overwrote the new one and the same problem happens.

EDIT** I did some trouble shooting. Reboot>If I simply select games and wait about 9 seconds the games appear. Reboot>If I select games and back out to the main menu and not wait for the games to load....the games list will load onto the main menu.

I also noticed if I do the first (just wait for it to load), the menu works perfect...im assuming it needs to load the games that first time I select the game menu. Im wondering if the unofficial build before this did that....I had no problems with 0209.

I have reverted back to build 0209, as I had no problems with it. I will patiently wait to see if anyone else has this problem and what was done to resolve it.

Great work!

One thing though, the Linux menu item suddenly appeared in my Games menu. Is there a cache file that I need to delete somewhere?

UnleashX you've impressed the hoards again, that itself is impressive Just found with the Video Switch, it doesn't switch back with a soft boot. Only way I can switch it back is with my memory card reset button, or of course resetting from the menu.

No, it won't, and that's by design. Video mode switching uses Cherry's dynamic kernel patching code, so as long as the copy of the kernel is still in memory, it will stay there. The dash itself will work on NTSC/PAL so there's no need to set it to something when it can work on the current setting.

As stated in the docs, it will only set it if it's needed. So, if you have a PAL game on an NTSC set, it will be set to PAL. Doing a soft reset, or more commonly called IGR doesn't unload the kernel from the memory, so it will remain PAL. When you hit 'Y' button, it's interesting to note that your xbox will be reported as Region 4/Rest of the World/PAL system, which means, the patch is in effect. Playing PAL games from here on will not make the dash try to patch it again. However, playing NTSC games will, as it is now an incompatible game. And the process repeats.

I was actually considering a force video mode system, so the dash will set it at the beginning, but then thought of otherwise due to several reasons: 1) If the selected mode isn't compatible with your set, then you'll end up with a messed up dash. 2) If the user really wanted to always use another mode, I guess enigmah video switch or ConfigMagic is a better solution. There are some more. So, I just opted with enable/disable as it make a lot more sense to me. Set it when needed -nothing makes more sense than that.
