Heres a tutorial on all that is needed to add menu items and submenus.
I hope you understand it and if you don't then don't try it.

Its pretty much copy and paste but requires some configuring.
Let me know what you think.

You know what this marks the death of, don't you? The NexGen dashboard.

Not that the NexGen dashboard isn't dead anyway....but if we're ever able to spawn an ftp server through the MS dashboard....then I think we can hammer the final nail in the coffin of NexGen (since we can also now launch Xbe's and create custom menus). I mean, why would anyone use NexGen at that point? To me, all it was gonna be was a pretty dashboard that resembled the MS one, but why use a fake when you can use the original?

Sure they promised a bunch of goodies also, but they have yet to deliver any proof. They never release any updates. They never give any progress reports...and as far as we're aware of, they aren't even doing any mass user testing.

Um, who really cares since nexgen hasnt been uttered in the scene except by people still interested in it. With the exception of Uber commenting on it early in June, there has been no mention of it and the Nexgen forum was closed. Goodbye Nexgen.

Hi all.. well i have read this post with alot of interest and i have to say well done to all those that have worked this out... i salute you all

Ok .. now for my question... i can see from the text file Gcue posted how to launch xbe's.. but what i would like to know is how you link a button to another submenu..?
i.e games menu -> list of games..?
Sorry if this has been covered but i dont recall seeing anything about it anywhere..

also would it be possible to take the code for the memory manager menu and use it as a games menu so that your games list has got all the icons etc...?

Gcue · « **Reply #232 on:** July 03, 2003, 01:04:00 PM »

That is in my tutorial also Deathman.

If you follow the tutorial completely you will have 2 extra menu items on the main dash and 2 submenus.

It requires editing for them to point to what you want and the text needs changing for the appropriate heading.

I'm working on it. I think I'm getting close, but give me a few more days.

Fantastic Work Voltaic and Others!!!!

I can't believe someone hadn't done this sooner....

When Nexgen was released I was very impressed with the visuals they had done compared to the orignal... that in itself was the MAIN reason I supported the Nexgen project. Since all this progress has been made in editing the orignal dash in adding new menu's etc. I am even more supportive in the efforts you all have put forth. Keep up the GREAT work and I am VERY interested in what all develops through all of this..

I thought nexgen was good but you just can't beat the orignal

Peace!

Maybe just editing the original would be easier.

Agree, I´m to lazy to read 16 pages just to get a full update on this.

Other wise, seems like your doing a great job.

Thnx for the tutorial... and indeed neXgen dash is already dead to me... ill look it to tutorial see if i can do some damage from myself on my dash... i'm thinking pink...

Keep the great work

Thank you

Im amazed as well that no one thought of this earlier. I tried modifying my dash just now for the first time, was easier than it looked, I first checked my dash, with the Test Voltaic posted, then used Noneya Tutorial to understand pixit better and then I was on my way!

I can't wait to see more progress on this, as this will become THE ULTIMATE dash if the DLL plugin feature is added.

Keep it up, I love it!
