okay, my xbox was shipped to me yesterday and luckily enough, I have a version 1.2, lol, i guess that is the main reason that i buy online was to get that version as for the local store only have those new bundle model
s...
the xbox came with a samsung dvd-rom drive which i've tested with every single cdrw brand that i currently use and it read it all, even those very cheaply made memorex cdrw hehe
s... but it doesn't read not even one single cdr's!!!!!!!!!
oh well... here is to make this tutorials a little clearer
s...
the biggest bug of this whole tutorials is this part of code:
"mkdir /xbox/Skins
cp -rf * /xbox/
cd /xbox
mv bert.xtf fonts/
mv snuffleupagus.xtf fonts/"
where the cp -rf * /xbox/ is...
when you type that it after making the skins directory, it will copy every single file on your computer c:/ drive to your xbox c: and d: drive
... but my doing this, you can skip the part where you have to type in the command to transfer the default.xbe and evox.ini over
s...
one more thing is the Skins folder is not needed unless you want to use the phoniex skins in evox dashboard which looks like shite hehe
s... the default.xbe has already had a preinstalled original evox skins in it so there is no need to type in the mkdir /xbox/skins/
and to say skins... the "s" ins't suppose to be there... so go in your evox.ini and edit the skinname to this:
[Misc]
AutoLaunchGames = No
AutoLaunchDVD = No
DVDPlayer = "e:appsdvdxdefault.xbe"
AutoLaunchAudio = No
AudioPlayer = "c:newdash.xbe"
MSDashBoard = "c:newdash.xbe"
UseFDrive = Yes
SkinName =
PheonixIGR = no
UseItems = Yes
ScreenSaver = 5
Fahrenheit = No
ShadeLevel = 90
to:
[Misc]
AutoLaunchGames = No
AutoLaunchDVD = No
DVDPlayer = "e:appsdvdxdefault.xbe"
AutoLaunchAudio = No
AudioPlayer = "c:newdash.xbe"
MSDashBoard = "c:newdash.xbe"
UseFDrive = Yes
SkinName =
OriginalIGR = no
UseItems = Yes
ScreenSaver = 5
Fahrenheit = No
ShadeLevel = 90
oh, and the last and most important thing is you have to rename the bert and ernie font to Xbox.xtf and Xbox Book.xtf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so if you don't want your whole hard-drive to copy over to the xbox c and d drive, type this in for part G:
mkdir /xbox/Skins
(don't type in this code)cp -rf * /xbox/
(don't type in this code)cd /xbox
mv Xbox.xtf fonts/
(dashboard version 4920)mv "Xbox Book.xtf" fonts/
(dashboard version 4920)mv Xbox.xtf /xbox/
(dashboard version 4034)mv "Xbox Book.xtf" /xbox/
(dashboard version 4034)mv default.xbe /xbox/
mv evox.ini /xbox/
umount both cdrive and xbox then type in reboot for xlinux to shutdown the xbox and pc for you as if you type in umount xbox, it will mostly likely say the hard-drive is busy...
and this font expliots bert is cheating on ernies was original designed for xbox dashboard version 4034...
s..... but it woks on 4920 as well
s...
anyways, for some reason, after i have completely done with this installation, doing the first few days of using it, everytime i turn my xbox on, it always have to reset itself for like 3 - 4 times until it get in the evox dashboard...
when i first boot on my xbox, the xbox animation logo run, then it sent me to the xbox original dashboard but it is not fully loaded, it only loaded the background and then pause for like 2 seconds and start to fade then boot to the evox dashboard... but for the first 2 days of using it, it boot to the original dashboard background then reset and repeating that for like 2 more times then it can boot into the evox dashboard, don't know why but after the third day, it stop reseting
s...
well, maybe it was becuase i connect in the ethernet cable plus i change the skin to the evox original one
s...
but still, i have to sign all my .xbe hehe
s...
so far, xbox media player is working fine!!! that's all i need...
and last comment is to say!!!
THANKS A LOT FOR THIS TUTORIALS!!! s...
