Don't worry better take your time.

More time spend programming == less bugs.

i've said it a million times and i'll say it a million times more.   dry.gif

until we are able to add new xaps to a xip and additional xips to the xbe (which is what winXIP will do), you can't fix this problem.

WRONG!

This can be done, but it gets a little messy.  What you need to do is declare another variable, and set it before each call to the runlevel.  This variable will be different depending on where the menu is started from.  Once in the runlevel, set the appropriate attributes (names,paths) based on that variable.

Well i think to say it fair for the first release from voltaic to have bugs remember its a beta/ test version. I have noticed along with some others that xbe resighning is not working so correct me if im wrong but we tried every way possible 2 get it 2 work with no luck.

so every one pleas ewait patently till this is fixed


Edit i think i fixed it
i started fresh with new xips & xbe
going 2 test again

Yep confirmed works

So start again
New xbe & new xips
i dont know some 1 try with just new xbe

smile.gif and looks the biz

only thing left 4 me is to add listings to my games on ya 'settings style menu' (i would use the 'language style' submenu for emu's and homebrew)

remapping/renaming the xbox live button to media player would be the final touch

well done to all of u wink.gif

BTW Got it running from F: partition (thx Dfunked) auto loading using xselect_06.xbe leaving original m$dash untouched

Alot of ppl are compelled to use pixit to rebuild xip files
DON'T USE PIXIT!
Make sure you start with a fresh set of xip/xbe files

Use Winxip to do every step of the tutorial
Some Pointers
When editing a xap use wordpad/notepad or Ultraedit
Save the xap then open the xip in Winxip
Right click on the xap file and use replace and replace it with the file that you edited
After each replace or add save the xip and resign the xbe

When resigning the xboxdash.xbe use the browse option not the add option and browse for the folder containing your xip files.

Its best to close out the xip and reopen it after each edit

This should help some of you error 21 ppl out.

Of all the things, renaming the Xbox Live button to Media Player is simple, find "translate true "xonline" " in mainmenu5.xip/default.xap and change it to "translate false "Media Player" " or something like that.

Then under "  else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 4) // Live Button" "
in default.xip/default.xap paste the launch code"

CODE
               launch("default.xbe", "DeviceHarddisk0Partition6appsxbmp");


And bingo, u now have a Media Player button that launches media player

thx kanadakid but...
I think u need the xbox live button in dunny/gcue's tutorials....
And for some reason they put it back in.... hahaha

correct me if i'm wrong.... it does happen..

note: a perfect tutorial for me would be an intergration of:-

dunny/gcu's 'settings/language style' tutorials
dfunked adding memory/music to settings tutorial
remapping/renaming xbox live button to media player

big respect to the coders putting in hard time on this project smile.gif

open default.xap and find,

CODE
           else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 4) // Live Button
           {
 theGamesMenuIn.Play();      // TODO: Get final sound
               
               // Reboot to the Xbox Live Dash
               g_nRec = 3;
               theXOnlineLevel.GoTo();
           }


change to,

CODE
           else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 4) // XBMP Button
           {
 theGamesMenuIn.Play();
  launch("default.xbe", "\Device\Harddisk0\Partition6\Apps\XBMP");
           }


open mainmenu5 > default.xap

find "XBOX LIVE" change to "MEDIA PLAYER"

that will change the live button to the media player, not the best idea if you ever wanted to use live in the future!  ;)
