for those of you that have a modchip that you disable, you can get the modified dashboard to run it's settings from a different folder on the C partition, but i couldn't get it running on the E partition.

after following my tutorial and confirming that it works fully, i grabbed a clean xboxdash.xbe from a backup i have.

i resigned using winXIP, then used ultraedit (or any other hexeditor) and opened the xboxdash.xbe. using the search function i searched for 'partition2'. pressing F3 to search for the next instance, you get the xboxdashdata.xxxxxxx after it. i simply changed xboxdashdata to xboxdashdatb (something i saw Nailed do on another forum).

Save the xbe, and upload. Make a new folder on C, should be called 'xboxdashdatb.1012a700' or something like that...put all the *MODIFIED* xips in this folder. go to the 'xboxdashdata.1012a700', and upload mainmenu5.xip, settings3.xip and default.xip from your backup of C. These 3 xips are unmodified and untouched obviously.

If you use an X2 bios, this is what i did to get evox and the ms dash working together.

renamed evoxdash.xbe on the C drive to 'eevoxdash.xbe'. transferred the xboxdash.xbe that we just hexedited and called it 'evoxdash.xbe'. you'll have to make sure that teh whitedown function in default.xap of default.xip does call 'eevoxdash.xbe' (evolution x) and not 'evoxdash.xbe' (otherwise you'll end up calling the same modified MS dashboard and will need an evox CD to boot to fix your mistake).

now if you have a modchip and turn it off to load the original kernal, you'll get the untouched MS dashboard, and you are free to edit xbox live accounts, memory, or whatever you want. in the future, i'm not sure if MS will send updates through xboxlive to 'search and destroy'. if they eventually do, we'll have to get the custom dash running on the F partition, as that partition doesn't exist according to the original kernal (or so i think).

hope that helps for people who have the xbox live dash, and actually have xbox live and don't want to mess up anything because they need to access xbox live functions (i have no idea how xbox live works cos it's not out in australia yet)....

Dfunked - Many thanks mate , it all works AOK now ! Really Nice to have the dash up like this.

I'm playing with the code for the icons at the mo and can manipulate the existing meshes quite nicely now but do you know what format the .xm mesh files are so I can generate new ones with lightwave or autocad ?

Cheers

Tim

DUNNY your tutorial does work but it can be a pain in the arse modding all the settings for a specific dash setup, and if you have shit loads of games it takes too long!!

check this

providing it works you can use this method to add items simply.  If it doesnt find out were I went wrong or wait for Xtechs new WinXAP!  

CODE

///// CUSTOMIZE YOUR OWN SETTINGS /////////////////////////////////// //MAIN MENU mm1button1 = "Button1"; button1sub = "subtitle1"; mm1button2 = "Button2"; button2sub = "subtitle2"; mm1button3 = "Button3"; button3sub = "subtitle3"; mm1button4 = "Button4"; button4sub = "subtitle4"; mm1button5 = "Restart"; button5sub = "Restart"; button5run = launch("reboot.xbe", "DeviceHarddisk0Partition2"); mm1button6 = "Shutdown"; button6sub = "Shutdown"; button6run = launch("shutdown.xbe", "DeviceHarddisk0Partition2"); //PASSWORD 0=Off, 1=menu1, 2=menu2, 3=menu3, 4=menu4 nPsswrd = 0; ///// CUSTOMIZE YOUR OWN SETTINGS ///////////////////////////////////

I'll try it later and see what happens
But this won't auto detect apps or games which are in say f:
will it?? so all you do is add the game in the f: folder or the app and it will be recognised by the dash and automatically
put in the games menu as the evox auto item feature does ??

 with fresh xips...But it looks good, the guys who have worked on this are doin' well and hopefully they can get it fully functional with ftp,auto item add etc...  Keep it up dudes...

DUNNY just another thing!! I noticed on the main dash screen when you move the selection down to the last menu,
you can actually go past the last menu and hear it select another menu which isn't there, and then you need to go up one before it selects the last menu, I think it was xbox live...? Ideas???

Yeh look I had it working till I thought I'd put the games in, seems like you can only mod the xips and resign xbes a few times then they corrupt. I didn't have any back up's so I have to start again   with fresh xips...But it looks good, the guys who have worked on this are doin' well and hopefully they can get it fully functional with ftp,auto item add etc...   Keep it up dudes...

sounds like you made a mistake?  

or it could be this part needs changing in default.xap

CODE

function OnMoveDown()        {            if (nCurMainMenuItem < 5)

change to,

CODE

function OnMoveDown()        {            if (nCurMainMenuItem < 4)

Did you test that submenu.xap I posted where you can change the 1st menu from the top of the xap??

as for resigning you can do it as much as you want.

killerz- i uped them to ur ftp- please distribute if possible

[tayior7]

i was working on getting it to boot from the f drive, but then i made a little mistake, ok well it was a big mistake, so i wont be able to boot my xbox until later tonite when a friend comes over with a memory card for the 007 hack.....
who else is working on this?
i went through every file and changed partition2 to partition6 and it didnt work. Thats as far as i got, i will probably work on it a little more later tonite

[Dunny]

I upped another version.

the only file you need to mess about with is submenu.xap.

uploaded an alternative submenu.xap which should change the console icon to the lock icon on whichever menu you password protected.  If it didnt work just replace it with the original.

This will be very nice , icons like in MS Dashboard Game Saves.
