Ive been trying and trying to make the xboxdash dvd player dongle free/region free but can't seem to get it right.

For those of you that want an easy solution here is what i did to make it auto launch dvdx2 on disc insert.

Of coarse you have to rebuild your xip and resign the xbe again.

Oh and edit the path to your dvdx2.

hey paste any code you have up on this thread to make it easier for people to find instead of looking through 17 pages for bits of code ect.

i've found that i can remove the X bitmap like vulgas did w/ keeping the rotation working.  just make the scale for all three values 0.000001 at the bottom of default.xap in mainmenu5.xip.  read his previous post to see what i was talking about.

I need a webhost so i can post some significant pics of the launcher i've been working on.

If all goes well, by the end of the day, it could be as simple as adding menu items in 10 seconds of work. =) *

As I stated earlier if anyone is interested in using my server and domain name to host project related files just email me and I'll set you up.  currently the site (www.xionanx.com) is just sitting there wasting my money.

anyone notice this under settings3.xap

else if(strCurMenu == "SYSTEM INFO")
   {
      thePanelJoystick.secretKey = "Y" + theConfig.GetRecoveryKey();
      thePanelJoystick.enableSecretKey = true;


what's all this on about??

If you want to launch evox from the mainmenu, without going anywhere, paste this in default.xipdefault.xap. Search for   theSubMenu.GoTo(); (if you have a submenu) and paste this code right under it

CODE

}        }                function OnBDown()        {                launch("default.xbe", "\Device\Harddisk0\Partition1\apps\dvdx");        }        function OnMoveUp()

man they need to fix that bug in the fourms, there is supposed to be two \ where every \ is in the command.

Hello,
Please be friendly as I have used evox throughout my life of xbox hacking. I am a newb to programmming and hacking the ms dash. I am so confused, I followed the tutorial on how to do this exactly http://www.geocities.com/gcue_bar/XdashTut.txt I start up ms dash again and Im like woopy it says dashboards at the top like i typed in the mainmenu file. but when I click on it it takes me to the memory menu where i can see my save games. so then i click on memory tab, and it takes me to the music section, then if i click on music tab, it takes me to xbox live, and settings tab is just fine. I also notice, behind the music tab you can see a tab(very small) that sais emulators but you cannot get to it.  I think this fckd me up:

QUOTE

After adding that do a search for "MEMORY" with the "" and replace it with whatever you want as the main menu item to go to your first menu. (example "DASHBOARDS") Then do a search for "MUSIC" and replace that with "MEMORY" Replace "XONLINE" with "MUSIC"

on his tutorial. Also I do not understand the partions, if i want to add a link it looks like

QUOTE

launch("default.xbe", "\Device\Harddisk0\Partition6\Emuz\Nes");

does partion 6 mean F:? I would like to know so I can type the links exactly to any app i want.
Please do not flame,
Thankyou

[Xtech]

Yes, partition6 = F

I did use the hack for the original MS dash, but i did get error 21. I think this is about resigning the files? I did resign the xboxdash.xbe

If there are syntax errors in your .xap files, or missing lines of code, it doesn't matter if the xbe is signed or not. Will get err 21.

I just thought I would post a sneak peek at what I'm accomplishing with the XboxDash.xbe hacking.



I am coding this so that a gui app can allow users to add new tabs/submenus in seconds.

NOTE : DO NO ask for this now. It will be released when it's done, and ready for the public.

*Waits for feedback.

) But when I try to add a button, the three ones that are already there turn yellow and animations stop working (not to mention my new button doesn't exist).

Also, does anyone have ideas on how to fix the annoying 50000 block display limit in the memory section?

As for the dvd - I was able to enable gamepad control and fix it so I can remove the dongle after the player starts, however the dongle must be in to start the player. If we are going to have full no-dongle support someone will have to figure out how to patch the xboxdash.xbe file.

BTW Nice work Xtech.

[dfunked]

looks awesome Xtech!

just a quick question... with how everything's going adn the need for editing all these files, will it ever be possible to keep two copies of the dash and it's related files? that way the dash could remain unmodified and even renamed to something other than 'xboxdash.xbe' thus eliminating the threat that updates to the dash could pose?

i've always been looking for a custom xbox dash cos nexgen was pretty lame... props to everyone on this scene i just spent a good couple of hours having a muck a round with diff. settings etc altho i didn't get anywhere as near as Xtech has heh

good work to voltaic and others.
