A Dashboard-skin Like The New Dynamic Skins/madmab Emus
« on: October 08, 2009, 04:20:00 PM »

I am just wondering if this is possibly out there already (in some form) and if not, what would it take to create it.

I know our dashboards like the pm3 skins look great, but what if we could have full boxart and video previews viewable at the same time for our xbox games, just like we do in the new "Madmab Ed. Xport Emus" and "Zsnexbox"...?

People love their wide icons but I think this would be the best. biggrin.gif

What say the people...? smile.gif

It would be easier to convert ZsnexBox or any of Xports emulators to run Xbox games instead of roms. It wouldn't be difficult at all.


The problem would be getting back to the emulator dashboard after playing the game. That would be fixed if the dashboard itself was replaced with one of the Xbox emulator GUIs. Since it could launch Xbox games, a user could add XBMC or UnleashX to the Xbox Games folder. A user could launch those individually if they needed to do something (like copy files or FTP) when they needed to.

I don't know of any dashboards that could be setup like the emulators. Maybe XBMC could.
