Hacking The Ms Xboxdash (news & How To's)
« Reply #150 on: July 15, 2003, 08:48:00 AM »

I've been busy with other stuff in the last few days....but thought i'd present this question.....Has anyone attempted to load a xap file from a location other than an archive?

For example (this is the current way):::
    DEF theSubMenu Level
    {
        archive "Settings3.xip"
        unloadable false

        children
        [
            Inline
            {
                url "Settings3/default2.xap"

Now, in some instances you find some thing like this:::
    AudioClip { url "Audio/AmbientAudio/AMB_EC_Steam1.wav" volume 0.80 }
    (Obviously not ala archive)

Sample::
    DEF theSubMenu Level
    {
        children
        [
            Inline
            {
                url "Xaps/SubMenu.Xap"   <---Directory /C/Xaps/SubMenu.xap

With this as a possibility.....end-user would only have to upload SubMenu.xap (created with an editor I am working on) after a dashboard patch.

Just a thought.....Dont have the time to experiment with this.

Ok, I know I'm gonna get slammed for this but I can't figure out the problem.  I use WinXap .16 to modify my dash, it is the Live version.  Everytime I try to launch the modified dash I get a error 21, and must do a hard shutdown.  I've also tried signing the xboxdash.xbe in WinXip .5 with no luck.  What am I missing?

Thanks.

CODE
if( xmenuitem + ymenuitem == 0 )
    {
   launch("default.xbe", "\Device\Harddisk0\Partition6\Apps\HDDLoader");
    }
    else if( xmenuitem + ymenuitem == 1 )
    {
   launch("evoXdash.xbe", "\Device\Harddisk0\Partition2\EvolutionX");
    }
    else if( xmenuitem + ymenuitem == 2 )
    {
   launch("default.xbe", "\Device\Harddisk0\Partition6\Apps\XBMP");
    }
    else if( xmenuitem + ymenuitem == 3 )
    {
   launch("default.xbe", "\Device\Harddisk0\Partition6\HDDLoader\PxGame8");
    }
    else if( xmenuitem + ymenuitem == 4 )
    {
   launch("default.xbe", "\Device\Harddisk0\Partition6\Apps\XB-FTP");
    }
    else if( xmenuitem + ymenuitem == 5 )
    {
   launch("default.xbe", "\Device\Harddisk0\Partition6\Apps\boXplorer");
    }
    else if( xmenuitem + ymenuitem == 6 )
    {
   launch("default.xbe", "\Device\Harddisk0\Partition6\Apps\Emulators\NES");
    }
    else if( xmenuitem + ymenuitem == 7 )
    {
   launch("default.xbe", "\Device\Harddisk0\Partition6\HDDLoader\PxGame8");
    }
    else if( xmenuitem + ymenuitem == 8 )
    {
   launch("default.xbe", "\Device\Harddisk0\Partition6\Apps\DVDX");
    }

but that would require two things wouldn't it...

a) the game is stored on your hdd (obviously)
cool.gif you have to have run the game once for it to actually save something which would then become visible in the memory menu

things are getting better and better...

yeah , the only thing it needs is an auto add code , that way you wont have to change the xaps each time you add something new to the HD.  pop.gif

dlux:
That's a very, very nice feature! *thumbs up*
Although dfunked allready pointed out the few minor probs.



As for me, currently I haven't been able to add an extra menu or anything.
I must have done something different... (note to self: read tutorials, again).
Allthough I got the dashboard to boot from f:

OK is it possible to add the two temp readings somewhere on the dash whether it's in a menu or somewhere visible??

Also you can shutdown the xbox with the remote, BUT can we use the same button to boot it up? It probably will involve more than just code etc, coz the box isn't powered up..maybe a relay etc..But can we do it or is the remote dead when box is off ???

I like electricity, doesn't bother me, But I'll only do the mod if there's no long term effects. I'll check out the tut. and see what I think...
What about the code for the temp settings on a msdash ??
can we get that workin?
