is it legal for someone to upload the unedited xboxdash.xbe and all the needed files?
if im correct this hack only works on the LIVE version? which i dont have

Dont think its legal, but lets supose it is. The download would be big, it not only involves 3 files to update your dash. Best thing would be to update it with a live enabled game (using boxplorer or the game itself) or to wait for another hack for older dashes.

For those that want an FTP server for the original dash, instead of trying to put it "in" the dash, someone could just write a simple FTP server app, mayber something with a file manager too.. Speaking of which, does any of the current file managers have a FTP server?

xtoolbox lets you connect to other xbox's and to really any ftp that you put in. It is also a file manager

Heh, well then thats it. Everything I need in a dash: A game launcher, FTP, and file managing.

i think i missed something- i tryed using the tutorial and the patcher to get this to work but whenever i try to load xboxdash.xbe it just restarts. I do have the Xboxlive dash, but do i need to have a specific kernal or anything?
thanks!

o yea almost forgot, in the tutorial it says-

If the resign button is not highlighted click on XBOX Dash Info button.
Then click resign.
Now you are done and can upload your xboxdash.xbe to c:

and neither the resign button nor "Xbox Dash Info" button are highlighted...kinda weird

Well so far alot of different kernels have been used and it also works on pal xboxes.
Make sure you have all of the files that are in your xboxdata folder with your xboxdash.xbe and also you have to resign your xboxdash.xbe on every edit to the dash. So if you rebuild an xip archive then you have to resign the xboxdash.xbe.

Also make sure you have the latest tutorial its been updated a couple of times fixing slight errors.

The reason why the buttons not highlighted is because you need your xboxdash.xbe in the same folder as every file in the xboxdata folder on your pc.

its abit hard 2 update your dash when the pal australia xboxes dont have a folder called xboxdash.xxxxxx what ever
all xips are in the main drive of c with everything else.

Gcue · « **Reply #262 on:** July 03, 2003, 10:57:00 PM »

Im sure if you update your dash to the xboxlive dash then they will be in the xboxdashdata folder which needs to be done in order to do this hack atm.

ill see il try modifying it mith midnight club 2 ntsc version.

having custom background music in the dash is pretty awesome

it was simple, all i had to do was edit the .wavs in the audio folder

AMB_05_ENGINEROOM_LR.wav for example..

And how exactly does this relate to hacking xboxdash.xbe ?

emailer33 · « **Reply #266 on:** July 03, 2003, 11:53:00 PM »

i'm not exactly VRML literate, or w/e language this is, but i gotta applaude you on the nice work. One thing i'm gonna be trying to do if i can figure this out, is add the B button to main window like it is on the other windows, just have it launch("evoxdash.xbe","devicePartition6"); (won't let me type the backslash's

)

. hope someone beats me to it and makes it easier for the rest of us

i did modify the xips so it wont restart the song when you go into another menu...

Heet · « **Reply #268 on:** July 03, 2003, 11:58:00 PM »

nice man, can you add that to the inventory of xboxdash hacks? That may prove useful in the future. Music should flow as you browse. Not stop and start.

CODE

DEF theAmbientSounds Group
{
// 0 = main menu
// 1 = memory area
// 2 = music area
// 3 = settings area

children
[
DEF theAmbientSound0 AudioClip { url "Audio/AmbientAudio/LiquidTrance_InfiniteDreams.wav" loop true volume 0 fade 2 pause_on_moving false }
]
}

(notice that i removed two sounds)

"pause_on_moving" is "false" instead of true

searched for theAmbientSound0.Play(); ..

found :

CODE

theAmbientSound0.Play();
theAmbientSound1.Play();
theAmbientSound2.Play();

replaced it with

CODE

theAmbientSound0.Play(); //Keep '0' only Since i revoved two sounds
EnableAmbientAudio(); //Start the audio when the main menu inits instead

and then just remove every EnableAmbientAudio(); in the other files in default.xip

thats almost how i did it.. cant really remember caus i'm tired

it doesnt work 100% (it doesnt restart after you play a soundtrack song)

EDIT: it now works 100%!

keep or add EnableAmbientAudio(); around line 2233 (in function OnDeactivate()) in music2.xap
