ok i don't know how to do that, but what you did worked for me. only that eject bug isn't ok with me it keeps rebooting when i eject.

If you use phoenix bios loader 1.3 with the latest bigfonts (bigfonts25) it should´nt reboot when you eject. If it still is, then you are doing something wrong.

No offense Erikman, but you're not exactly being helpful. You gave me this exact same reply. I'm doing absolutely nothing wrong, and I have the same problem. Bigfonts25, properly installed signed pbl 1.3 I've re-done it over 20 times now, and I have had no success. I've been doing it wrong these 20 times? Doubtful. I can't understand how everyone else is fixing their eject problems and getting into the MS dash so easily.

yup, same prob here. have done everything right about a hundred times. with either hang or reboot no matter what i do. i'm not a fucking idiot - i know what i'm doing.

it's obviously some compatibility problem - BUT, as far as i know, i don't know what.

Can't get the MS Dash to work at all. I've done the whole process of modifying it (xft) and signing it, etc... it just refuses to work. Doesn't matter at this point anyway, I traded the remote for a wireless controller from a friend and am just using dvdx2 now. Now I just need to figure out how to get dvdx2 onto the HD rather than using the disc.

Sure, I might be able to run DVDs with my remote if inserting the DVD after executing the MS dashboard, but this is not going to happen if I cannot get it to work at all.

So, could we please get back to the original topic here?
That is how to fix the problem with not being able to run the xft-patched and font-signed ms dashboard AT ALL?

Thanks

Like I said... I'm having the same problem. My hacked ms dash doesn't work at all.

you've found 4 instances of x.t.f in your xboxdash.xbe file?

Also make sure you use the X-Free font exploit xbedump. the command line should look like this:
xbedump xboxdash.xbe -font

Then rename the OUT.XBE file to newdash.xbe and put it at your C: Drive.

Also put the ernie and bert files ONLY at C:fonts and not at the root!

This way it should work fine...

My half assed solution to this problem was to install an old dash (4627) to the C in ADDITION to the main one
since all the data files are in the root instead of folders, they happily co-exist with it named msxboxdash.xbe and it reads its own xtf fonts
