from everything that i've read, it seems like anyone who puts the modified M$ dashboard in E:\ has problems. i dont know why, but anyone who puts xboxdash.xbe in the E drive and has evox.ini point to it has problems. what i did was simply rename the modified xboxdash.xbe to msdash.xbe, and put it in C:\ and had evox.ini point to C:\msdash.xbe

see if this works for you; it should

which xtf files are you renaming? the ones in the C:\ root or the ones in the C:\fonts folder? if you have a fonts folder, rename the xtf files in there not the ones in the C:\ root.

also make sure you hexedited correctly. and you do not need to sign the modified dashboard if you are using the x2 4977 bios with PBL.

I've also had no luck trying to access the MS dashboard using the Bert & Ernie / phoenix bios loader.

I've tried making a copy in C drive called msdash.xbe, signing it, and pointing evox.ini to that one. Still doesn't work (just reboots back into evox).

I'm in the same position as you Envisage, in that I have an HDTV and really want to enable the right video settings for it, but can't get into the dashboard.

Anyone found a way to get the MS dashboard yet?

Tellure

If you do what I did, you'll be able to set your HD settings, at least they'll be set until such time as someone figures out the fix for this.

Yeah, I was considering doing what you did and removing the hack to change the settings, then putting it back. I just wanted to avoid the hassle of renting 007 again if there was a more permanent solution

.

BTW.. aren't the video settings stored in some file somewhere on C drive? Can't we just grab that file and edit it (maybe HEX edit it?) to change the settings?

Im struggling with this too.

The best I can get is either it drops back to the EvoX dash, or it goes to the Xbox Green "Contact Customer Support" screen.

Same set up as above, pheonix loader, Mechassault hack

any help would be most welcome

you guys did hex edit the xboxdash.xbe right?

monkeyhands · « **Reply #10 on:** August 13, 2003, 02:27:00 PM »

Hex editing is a little beyond my skills atm

Would anyone be willing to email a pre-edited xboxdash thing?

The last time I opened a hex editor it may as well have been in chinese. Sorry to be such a dumbass about it.
