Thanks again for the help jones, that woked. One question, what is the name of the PHEONIX menu font hack? Are they the MA fonts? I need to ask about geting thc like working with PHOENIX. Currently only thc full works, with the font hack switch enabled, thclite's menus are blank.

You can hex edit the tHc lite xbe to use new fonts, this is what I have done and it works great, next step is to get it running from E see some of the posts in the tHc forum section for more info,,,

Whenever you hex edit thc lite what are you changing. Is it xtf to bak?

Nope, you need to copy your fonts and rename them to something like .fnt

if you use .bak it wont work when the audio hack is active

cool, I finally managed to get tHc to run instead of mxm
I have used .xft for my thc dash, is that ok? So i have xbox.xft and xbox book.xft, they wont get renames when I used the audio exploit will they?

No it should be fine, I only used fnt becase it wouldnt cause any mix ups as it looks totally different to xtf

Sweet, thanks good sir for such an awsome package, it is quality, my final question is this:
A couple of times I have turned on the audio hack and when my xbox has loaded, it has just ripped the cd as it would normally, this means I have to hot swap everytime, is this just the st.db getting corrupted? Should I put a new copy of it onevery time I turn the font back on?

Erm?? You dont have to use an audio CD? its the "swapless" audio hack? Just do the key combo??

I assume thats what you mean??

well bugger me, I didnt know that one! Still, i guess thats wot u get for not reading the readme...wicked, so I dont even need an audio cd...man i must sound like a retard now....
will the hacked st.db get corrupted at all? Do you recommend I put a newer version on every now an again wen im ftping to my xbox? or is it perfectly stable (even tho its being renamed all the time)

The included ST.DB is the stable/un-corruptable version from Morden/Catfish.. It should work great in all ocations

Its all just simple text based actionscripts for this one, and batch style scripts for my other packages..  Nothing fancy!

All the hard work is done by the MXM and UnleashX dudes who made some truly great dashboards with some amazing options

[mkjones]

Without all of these we would all be shelling out for Modchips

helluva job mkjones ! ! !   the BOBW was the easiest mod I've done yet.    (I've accidentally killed the hard drive 3x so far with many other mod attempts.......ain't backups FANTASTIC ! ? ! ) First of all let me say I just started with the XboX last week (  definate noob) I got ahold of your (newer?) softmod lite package and did a quick readthru.  Looks like many more steps than the BOBW.   My questions are: 1. in YOUR opinion, other than user preference for the "look" of the dash, do the other dashes offer more funtionality? 2.  I'm already used to EvoX and put XBMC in the apps folder to run, but how would I run XBMC if I stay with MXM (the Options Refresh thing didn't work for me). k: 5101 d: 4920

I would go for softmod lite then you can still run evox and have all the options BOBW gives you, also you can add your own dash using the new "mydash" featre

As for using MXM it looks like you need to configure your menu.xml file, thats all

Ok, all I have to say is WOW.  This worked perfectly... thank you SO MUCH for all your work into this package, mkjones!
