Anyone having this problem w/WINXIP:

I'm trying to resign the .xbe, and the Browse button is ALWAYS greyed out.  Any ideas?

You had the Settings style perfected this morning, so it was just a case of getting using that instead of the language style for submenus ... and the password setting was pretty straightforward.

you need to click the |...| button and load your xboxdash.xbe before it shows.  Then browse to the folder with all the xip files in.

I just finished it, although I think I may have made a mistake somewhere.  The dash launches fine, I have the exact same buttons as in your pictures, although its not fully functional heh  tongue.gif  My APPLICATIONS and SETTINGS  button does a sort of transition into next menu sound but nothing appears, stay's at main menu, my EMULATORS button just makes a selected sound and stay's at main menu.  The only button which creates any effect is my GAMES button, which brings me in the next sub-menu, the title says GAMES, I can move up and down through the 7 games I added (Good thing I didn't add all) cause I hear the sounds BUT there is NO text on the buttons, NO moving selector bar or icon on the side, and the bottom text only display's "Testing123" all the time as I move up and down.  I searched my edited .xap files and no traces of "Testing123" so its coming from somewhere else.  The X button works, brings the greeting, the white button also returns to my installed dash.

Now I just have to find where the problem lies, so back to go look at that step by step again, if anyone might have a hint where the problem lies in the files and wouldn't mind telling me it would maybe save me some time.

EDIT: Oh yeah btw, I closed and reopened WinXIP after every actions so I wouldn't get any garbage like mentioned.

Thanks

Please excuse me, it was 2am when I wrote the tutorial. I was in a rush to get it done, so I'll go over it now and see if I've done anything wrong.

spyd4r:

in default.xip:

default.xap = edited
settings3.xap = edited
applications.xap = inserted
emulataors.xap = inserted
games.xap = inserted

in mainmenu5.xip

default.xap = edited

in settings3.xip (these xaps are different to the ones in default.xip)

applications.xap = inserted
emulators.xap = inserted
games.xap = inserted

CODE
           else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 3) // Games Button
           {
 magicnumber = 1;      // be sure to declare this above
 submenu();
           }
           else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 4) // Apps Button
           {
 magicnumber = 2;
 submenu();
           }

Then, once in the menu runlevel, set all atributes based on that variable in the OnArrival() function.  This code simply changes the title for each menu.  Do the same for menu items, etc.
CODE
   if ( magicnumber == 1 )
   {
   lbasedmenu.children[0].children[0].head_text.geometry.text = gamesMenuName;
   }
   if ( magicnumber == 2 )
   {
   lbasedmenu.children[0].children[0].head_text.geometry.text = appsMenuName;
   }

You may notice that in this code, the title is taken from another string in the configuration xap.  More on that later.
Just another option for the adventurous. wink.gif

What are the diff paths for the C, D,E,F drives on the xbox?

"how do i get rid of the 'MEMORY' and 'XBOX LIVE' tabs on the main screen."


i noticed in one of the xap files that the live menu item loads only if the xodash folder is in c:

i removed the folder and the menu item was gone...

do NOT do this if you actually wish to use live

Damn nice work vulgusprofanum im goin to try to use some of this in the settings style menus.

With this im sure it would be easy for an app to simply edit the cofig file with a nice gui.
