I am amazed at how quickly this is progressing... after not seeing the default XBOX dash for so long, I forgot how *cool* it is.  I had to go back and look at the difference between the main menu, the "Settings" menu, and the "Language" menu.  Now with modifications becoming easier with additions like vulgusprofanum's config file, wouldn't it also be awesome to define the menu type in the configuration.xap!!  I started playing with all the menus and have not heard any mention of creating menus like the Music menu (items on the left, pic on the right), the Audio/Video menus (similar to the Language menu but more spacing between the items and a "flatter" appearance), the Clock/Parental Control menu (more like the Audio/Video menus but space between items has additional text in a smaller font), or the Saved Games (Memory) menu that actually shows the color icons from the games... I imagine a day when I could use this menu to mange my saved games OR press X to launch the selected game.

Awesome stuff, just throwing out a future vision as the dream is becoming real!

Alright! I found out I had some minor mistakes in my .xap files which had major effect!  Now everything works but a minor detail which im still trying to figure out why, when I select a game or app or emu, it goes black for a second then comes back to my evoxdash.xbe, it doesn't launch even though my path is setup correct.  I am using XBMP as my primary dash and my EvoX is evoxdashbackup.xbe so maybe its because I have XBMP as prim. dash ill have to investigate.  But at least im happy all other menu's work! Thanks again dfunked!   AK

i have the same problem as you...can you post how you fixed it?

please

derre read the top of the tutorial with updated info, this forum messes up backslashes.

no offence to all the other people who are getting menus to work, but i must be stupid if i can't smell bitterment / stubborness.

i don't upload 249238 apps / emulators to my xbox a day so i have no need to constantly update my menu, even so it'd only take me 1 minute more than the other ways people do it.

take the tutorial or leave it, i don't care. i'm not claiming victory for getting the tutorial on teh main page and more attention. hell i don't want to be recognised as anyone. i have my dash set up, so i really don't care what anyone attempts the same thing.

not naming any names or such, but i have yet to see a tutorial which goes as in depth as my own. no it's not perfect, but it's thorough.

as for talk about "oh i did this first", if you want the truth about who had this working first, ask shadow_mx, not that i really care or anything.

well i'm going back to school in 2 days so you won't see much of me here, and i'm sure some people will be happy about that.

2 cents complete.

Dunny... I got your tutorial (OR a re-write of it) to work after some initial problems, don't know if it was my fault or the apps ?? some menus didn't have any app names still languages which couldn't be selected and that sort of stuff...Finally got it to work and launch games and emulators and apps etc from F: but I noticed that it seems you have to have 9 items selected in the menus on the modified files, whether you just put app 4, app5 etc to make up the numbers ...otherwise there can be errors on selecting etc on the dash.....Is this 9 item a limitation or can more be put in, as I have more than 9 games on the hdd...

OK Dunny I tried ya new way with submenu..I may need to edit the supplied submenu ?? coz when you select the settings bar or the storage bar, it gets stuck in a loop and doesn't go to the menu(needs to reboot)...Are there some changes in the submenu.xap which need changing, or you reckon I stuffed something up
 I'll look into it later, probably my bad ??

[senator]

Don't you need the menu to point to a shutdown and/or reboot xbe for this to happen...

Ah crap , I have followed the tutorial as per dfunkeds instructions and double checked it 3 times now and found no errors in my application of it but my dash doesn't work. When I boot up to MSDash I get the modified first menu with the 3 new options , the settings option shows the correct additions and they all work as intended but...
The Games and Emulators options do nothing when I click on them and the Applications option opens to a new menu with no options listed and the title bar showing Testing123.
I know I've done something really stupid and obvious but I can spot it , anyone else able to see my error

Quote Deleted as I was dull enough to add the file in full instead of the URL, URL now in next post !

[timbo_1000]

Ok so that was a really bad idea , sorry guys !

Heres a link to a briefcase with all the modded xap files in it. They are compressed with winrar 3.11

If anyone can spot my cock up I'd be grateful !

Cheers

[Dunny]

lol you may want to edit that post.

[timbo_1000]

Good idea Dunny , I hadn't even thought of the obvious idea of removing the file from the post above by editting the post , DoH !!!

[derre]

i fixed the problem with the games menu(i forgot to change the amount of items)...but i still cant open the emulators menu:

when i push the button the dash still stays at the main menu! please help...


PS: Sorry for my English ....

[ivota]

The lost tutorial (with 'storage.xap')  is easyest then a new (with 'submenu.XAP').

I made the last, it works perfekt.


The new has too many changes the first !!!
