CODE
function InitMemoryMenuItems()

3.) Paste over that whole function with:
       
CODE
function InitMemoryMenuItems()
{
   var c = theFilesMenu.children[0].children[0];
   var nTitle = c.theSavedGameGrid.curTitle;
   var nSavedGame = c.theSavedGameGrid.curGridItem;

   if (nTitle < 0)
   {
       // we have the device menu
       if (theMemoryMonitor.curDevUnit == 8)
       {
           // TODO: Hard drive menu
           nFileMenuItemCount = 0;
       }
       else
       {
           c.MenuItemText1.text = theTranslator.Translate("PERSONALIZE");
           c.MenuItemText2.text = theTranslator.Translate("FORMAT");
           nFileMenuItemCount = 2;
       }
   }
   else if (nSavedGame < 0)
   {
       // we have the title/soundtrack menu
       c.MenuItemText1.text = theTranslator.Translate("LOAD GAME");
       c.MenuItemText2.text = theTranslator.Translate("DELETE");
       nFileMenuItemCount = 2;
   }
   else
   {
       // we have the saved-game/song menu
       if (c.theSavedGameGrid.CanCopy())
       {
           c.MenuItemText1.text = theTranslator.Translate("COPY");
           c.MenuItemText2.text = theTranslator.Translate("DELETE");
           nFileMenuItemCount = 2;
       }
       else
       {
           c.MenuItemText1.text = theTranslator.Translate("DELETE");
           nFileMenuItemCount = 1;
       }
   }
}


4.) find:
     
CODE
function DoMemoryItemMenuCommand()


5.) paste over that function with:
     
CODE
function Startload()
{
   var c = theFilesMenu.children[0].children[0];
   var blah1 = c.theSavedGameGrid.curTitle;
   var strblah;
   strblah = c.theSavedGameGrid.GetTitleName(blah1);
   if (strblah == "Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee")//you can do this for games with wierd names
   {
      launch("default.xbe", "Device\\Harddisk0\\Partition6\\HDDLoader\\Oddworld");
   }
   else
   {
      launch("default.xbe", "Device\\Harddisk0\\Partition6\\HDDLoader\\" + strblah);//change path to where your games are
   }
}

function DoMemoryItemMenuCommand()
{
   var c = theFilesMenu.children[0].children[0];
   var nTitle = c.theSavedGameGrid.curTitle;
   var nSavedGame = c.theSavedGameGrid.curGridItem;

   if (nTitle < 0)
   {
       // we have the device menu
       if (theMemoryMonitor.curDevUnit == 8)
       {
           // TODO: Hard drive menu
       }
       else
       {
           if (nCurFileMenuItem == 0)
               ShowKeyboard(theTranslator.Translate("PERSONALIZE"), theMemoryMonitor.FormatDeviceName(theMemoryMonitor.curDevUnit), "theMemoryInline.children[0].FinishPersonalize()", "");
           else if (nCurFileMenuItem == 1)
               AskQuestion(theTranslator.Translate("Really format"), "theMemoryInline.children[0].FinishFormat()", "", 1);
       }
   }
   else if (nSavedGame < 0)
   {
       // we have the title/soundtrack collection menu
       if (nCurFileMenuItem == 1)
           StartDelete();
       else if (nCurFileMenuItem == 0)
    Startload();
   }
   else
   {
       // we have the saved-game/soundtrack menu
       if (c.theSavedGameGrid.CanCopy())
       {
           if (nCurFileMenuItem == 0)
               StartCopy();
           else if (nCurFileMenuItem == 1)
               StartDelete();
       }
       else
       {
           StartDelete();
       }
   }
}


6.) save, rebuild, resign.
7.) ftp to your exox, copy over the new default.xip, and your resigned xboxdash.xbe
8.) go to where ever your games are backed up, and change the names of the folders to match the title in the memory menu.
9.) thats it, you're done

only bug so far is that games such as 007 NightFire that have trademark symbols cannot be loaded, I'm working on a way to fix that.

Sidenote: The msdash seems to be a much more powerful launcher than evox, Using this method I was able to launch a completely unpatched backup of Enter the Matrix.

These dashboard hacks are amazing.  Here is what I am hoping to do.  I would like to have 4 main categories, being Games, Media Player, Xbox Live and Settings.  The Media Player button would launch XBMP right away.  I would like to have the Games category have a "settings" style menu.  Then I would like to put the Music and Memory options in the Settings category.  I'm pretty sure all this is possible it's just putting it all together.  Also I still want the options to shutdown using the remote and controller by hitting the B button.  Did anyone make a tutorial on doing this?  I've browsed the forums and the tutorials and did not find everything.

Thanks.

that could easily be done, what i would do if i were you is modify the dash with Xtechs tool first to make the XBMP button then modify the files yourself for menus for teh games and settings using dfunked's tutorial

Well, after two failed tries... (in creating the SaveGame->Launch button)
Try #1: Two buttons appear but no text (Launch, Delete)
Try #2: Main Memory option and Music option don't work

I got to a point where it looks promising...
Try #3: Everything works, though the games won't launch.


The first time I had no slashes in... the second time only one slash... the third time I had the double slashes in.
...so slowly but surely I'm getting the hang of this.


Question: Where-oh-where can I read a tutorial on how to make an extra main-menu button (when modding a non-live dashboard) ??

there's no other way that i could think of to run the memory and music menus from the settings menu, without having the script call back to the mainmenu and then go to the correct menu.. this results in a split second black screen. each of the menu's has a positioning from the main screen, and you'll notice this when you're going back and forth through different menus..it is actually transitioning, but because it is having to move from the bottom right to the top left, the distance from the positions makes it appear as though it's gone black and the new menu will just appear out of nowhere...

i don't see a point in fixing something like that, because i find it a complete waste of time. better to get cracking on something more productive...

I don't know what i'm doing wrong but nothing is working,

I tried to insert some xap files from a tutorial from http://www.download-...act=ST&f=3&t=49
but nope .. not working..

Even when I download the Livedash dir to my pc, resign all the files at once with winxip (Browse button) becauce when I want to open one single file, it doesn't add it in the "Xip File(s)" screen.

Then press resign, then upload it to my xbox again and I get Error 21 again!

I'm pulling my hair out right now because this doesn't work!!!!

I have the following files in the Xbox C root

Audio <dir>
fonts <dir>
xboxdashdata.10027100 <dir>
xodash <dir>
items.txt
settings_adoc.xip
XBox Book.xtf
Xbox.xtf
xboxdash.xbe


PLEASE HELP ME!!!

YES! I found out how to make it work when you allways get error 21..

I reinstalled the C drive with the "Slayers_EvoX_Auto-Installer_V2.1_Final" ISO (just copy everything that's in de C directory to the C drive of the Xbox) then it's working...
