My xap editor is ready to be tested as soon as I write instructions on how it works.

This is basicly a text editor created from scratch that is taylored to the xap format.
it lists all def in tree form with children below it
lists all functions
lists all variables
lists all text for output(menu text)
does some checks for correctness
all def, functions, var are all highlighted in text
editor goes right to selected def, function, or var when dbl clicked
search, search and replace, search and replace all works
and some other small features(all text and background colors are changeable)

It was written for windowsXP but I tried to use win9x code for compatibility.

This is a windows GUI program, BUT does not edit xap files automaticly!!

works with winxip when set up as defualt editor.

Need testers to try it out!

only serious apply!

CODE

g_bXOnDashExists = theConfig.NtFileExists( "\\Device\\Harddisk0\\partition2\\xodash\\xonlinedash.xbe" );

and replace it with:

CODE

g_bXOnDashExists = true;

then rebuild, and resign, and load the dash, I believe that this should make the xbox live button appear on the dash, even though you haven't updated.
I don't have a non-updated dash, so I can't try this myself, but, hopefully it works.

Just had a thought, and wondered if one of you guys that doesn't have a live updated dashboard would like to try it out.
If so, give it a shot, and see if it works.

open default.xap inside default.xip, and find :

CODE

g_bXOnDashExists = theConfig.NtFileExists( "\Device\Harddisk0\partition2\xodash\xonlinedash.xbe" );

and replace it with:

CODE

g_bXOnDashExists = true;

then rebuild, and resign, and load the dash, I believe that this should make the xbox live button appear on the dash, even though you haven't updated.
I don't have a non-updated dash, so I can't try this myself, but, hopefully it works.

it wont work.
reason being is because that code is from the LIVE default.xip and its not in the normal one.

Hiya,
I was wondering if anyone new a way to get the MS Dash to check the serial number from the eeprom? .. Any help would be appreciated.. thanks

i've noticed that after a while of sitting on the MSdash i hear a blip in the ambient sounds. its seems to be random, eg sometimes its 5mins, sometimes 20mins.
its similar to the blip you get at the begining of some crappy encoded mp3s, you know the one?

i've tried replacing the audio files from my orignal backup but it still does it, any ideas?
could i have messed up a xip/xap?

my friends does the exact same thing. We have never figured it out. You gotta listen cuz its not real load, thats the one. We thought a damn bird was in the house and looked around.

but if i decide to change the background etc, i'll feel as if i'm back with evox (evox gui = yuck).

The Axledental DJ -> there is code to bypass DVD warnings already, but no dongle-free code as of yet. As for requesting diff. backgrounds to be made for you, the chances of that happening are slim to none. I think Gcue's got better things to do then complete requests.

well hopefully we will have a gui that will adjust colors like nexgen had. That would be great. As far as Voltaic coding in the dash, does anyone know what that means as far as features? I got to tell you that this is the biggest development to come to fruition in a long time. Ftp, gamesave pics for games like nexgen, and an adjustable timer would own all other dashboards i think.

PLEASE HELP!

I used the Gcue config method and have the dash running perfectly...with two versions on the c drive... one original and one hacked...

I moved the evoxdash to e, which works fine...the only problem is that when i try to ftp through evox the DVD - D drive is not looking in the right place and defaults to the folder with the evox dash in....and i cant change it through ftp??

Is there a problem with what im doing or just a simple error?

Either way all dashboards work independantly apart from i cant ftp from evox DVD drive anymore??

Would appreciate any help

when you load a program from the xbox dashboard it maps the folder which it is in to the D drive.

rubberdog · « **Reply #43 on:** August 06, 2003, 11:00:00 AM »

So if thats the cas is there any way i can do it? Or stop it mapping it to the D so i can still use evox as an ftp prog?

-Gadget- · « **Reply #44 on:** August 06, 2003, 01:42:00 PM »

if this is the case ...
does that mean if ya load such programs like HDDLoader it too has problems ??
