If it works similarly to others, it would be xboxdashdata.10202100 eh.

(Also, this would mean it's more recent than the other 4920's eh.)

lets downgrade the dash to 4920 and then update it off the hulk automaticly...

what folder does it make?

[Angerwound]

That's the thing - hulk contains no fiels to update with. These files seem to be here for no apparent reason.

i've tried that...well, with 4034 installed on C.  i've let the demo run and update the dash on C, then i've tried booting with the boot disc we are trying to construct.

we've gotten past the Error 21 to the X logo screen.  on some tests, the dvd thrashes for ever at the X logo screen.  on some tests, it just sits there quietly at the X logo.

i'm sometimes wondering if it's a debug/developer's version of 4920.  maybe i'll look into installing a debug dash i have on my C drive and try all of the discs i've burnt again.

like angerwound said, i did burn the demo (default.xbe) from Hulk disc2 onto a DVD+R with book type set to DVD-ROM and it did run...i even got a little side tracked smacking those soldiers around on the first level of Hulk LOL

i imagine the same thing could be done with the default.xbe from Star Wars.

i'm very interested to hear back from remhnal and devz3ro...

anger, have you checked the files unpacked into the cache drives?
perhaps there is an updater in there...

[Angerwound]

Okay, when I burn the xboxdash.xbe and /xboxdash/ folder to a disc and launch from a non-retail state - I boot to the green floating background  - the background is moving but no orb seems to be displayed and it just sits. Better than ERROR 21. Hmm...

i don't think it does.  i think whatever new dash files the demo extracts are embedded in the demo (default.xbe) itself.  it doesn't hit the net to update.  i've had my network cable unplugged.  the only thing i ever see out in X, Y, and Z is the actuall hulk demo and resource files (mini version of Hulk game dvd) on X.

(I wouldn't be surprised if it tries to phone home on pre-Live 2.0 dash's to send "marketing analysis" details eh!)

Regarding the 10202100 ... it's the FFFE0000's 'Version' from the xbedump eh.

I just noticed mainmenu5.xip is not within the original HULK /xboxdash/ folder.
And I'm out of DVD+R to try with it there.

i put all the xips from 4920's xboxdashdata folder in the xboxdash folder on the last dvd we tried...stuck on X logo

EDIT: unfortunately, i did not fill the disc to the brim, so i think the xbox just couldn't get to the cente of this tootsie-roll pop LOL

[Chicken Scratch Boy]

getting closer, maybe?

try newer xips and stuff too... maybe?

[Angerwound]

Taking eh's advice I renamed 4920's dashdata folder to that of this xbe's version ending up with dashdata.10202100. Afterwards I hexedited the .xbe to look for the fonts in f0nts and placed 4920's fonts there. The xbe now launches and the magic dash version we are looking for is..... D: 5680
A completely new dash version that at least I haven't seen before.

Now, for further investigation.
