Rules are rules , but honestly, there are other ways that are more discreet.



BTW, great job on this, another great release.....

[kingroach]

its not a dircet link.. I mean its an email address.. and not even the email contains any illegal files.. so its a kind of dual link.. X-S frontpage posts news for new dash/installers regularly..and the news contains link to the official website and the website contains dircet link.. anyway.. the email doesnt contain any illegal files..

edit: ok I removed the link ( email).. I will add some other way...

Well, its tough kingroach...the forum rules say one thing while everyone else seems to do another.

The e-mail address though, well, its an indirect link I would say because your clearly offering the Ndure installer to people who message that address.

maybe you could do it devz3ro style and add a patch that creates the right files from peoples own dash files.

Maybe, yes lets make this n"oo"b friendly as its setup is a little more involved, but the installer works great   king*, checked it on 2 setups 5838 & 5101, all options.

if anyone would like the custom font compiler, to include ndure fonts, let me know, if not then im not going to mess with it.

Congratulations kingroach - mainly for the NDure explanation - you say in your one root post what eh took 22 pages of posts to say.      

Seriously, congratulations to all involved.

Contrary to kingroach, not all FTP clients respect the alphabet, since uploading my hack I could easily tell FileZilla likes to upload the /xodash/ folder at the same time as it processes the /media/ folder (Assuming its on a multiple connection upload).

By the way to any newbs, idiots, know it alls, etc visiting this thread - if you can't understand every single word in This Guide On XGuides then don't play with Ndure. UXE works fine.

Anyone releasing a legal package to patch files is welcome to use the bandwidth provided at XGuides.

sorry for my late post.. went to my bros. graduation..anyway..Tnx for all your support.  I removed any direct links from my blog so it should be XS- Friendly now. About the whole linking and illegal files thing.. we all live in a gray world dont we.. I cannt argue with all the mods here.. if there is rules then that should be followed.

I tried to make a noob proof installer.. so that users wouldnt need anything of expect the installer.. A patch can be created for generic use but a patch wouldnt have as many options and configuarations like an installer.

Although technically you can call this installer a patch.. ( can we?).. I mean apatch contains differentiation bits between two files in an crypted form and an installer contains full bits of files in crypted form.. There is no way di-assmble the installer.

Well basically you just have to use a patch to create the right xonlinedash.xbe. then extract all the needed files out of the dash and that's it. The fonts are legal to distribute so in the end people would only have to add some retail (maybe cut it to 5960 only) dashboard files and a replacement dashboard (Evox).

But the best and easiest thing offcourse would be xbins distro. I'm sure Devz3ro can see the use of this (as oposed to many old and/or shitty stuff hosted there) and grant you a submision.

@kingroach: thanks again dude.

:flame: eh.


Thank you everyone that helped evolve and develop/test Ndure. :luv:

Primarily wrayal formulated the "retail" setup and Cio the "basic" setup.

SFAIK, "my methods" aren't implemented by this utility - the "fonts" and "starter" setups with their dashupdate.xbe 'safety nets'.  Maybe they will be deemed useful for it or others eventually too (such as this awesome sounding work-in-progress of triggernum5's perhaps?) ... only time will tell.

Glad xbins is being considered.  

Here's a huge thanks from me to all involved.  I'm playing on Live right now with ndure installed, no problems, big hard drive and all.  Way to go guys (at risk of sounding lame), and that sounds like a pretty uber team.

Thanks again.

I think by "over-looking" he ment "look past, fail to notice". Meaning it won't be at xbins.

Edit: N/M Dev cleared this up for me... Great job with the installer.

as i am a totally noob on Ndure installing, i have to ask this:

- nkpatcher will be installed, but i can`t choose between .06 and .67? hmmm, isn`t this needed?
- i whould like to see unleashx to be provided with this installer, along with the great project mayhem III skin. but i can change that for myself, so it`s okay

[kingroach]

I did PM Iriez about a month ago about my other installer ( UXE installer for xboxhdm).. didnt got any reply so I thought he is not here.. I also tried to find him in the xbins irc..

I added a dummy file in my first version of the installer.. then thought what if users tries to update dash files etc. so it might be best if users create their dummy. I will add detail instruction on the tutorial.
