FUCK!! THIS BETTER BE FIXABLE!!!! 
Post by: Norse on February 08, 2004, 07:41:00 PM
once booted from that, you may have to rename the new avalaunch.xbe to avadash or something...depends on whether or not your bios looks for the avadash.xbe or not.
davo408...sound like your xml for avalaunch is looking in the wrong place for music when it boots. I think the new default is f:\mp3 so either change that to the dir your mp3's are or put 1 mp3 in that folder.
good luck guys.

Team Avalaunch better fix my Xbox or there wont be Team Avalaunch no more!!!! something bad will happen to them. Stupid dashboard that plays with the eeprom , the other dashboards doesnt have that for a reason!!! that is not needed!!! the bios plays any region so there no need to change the video !!!!!!
Post by: demosthenz on February 08, 2004, 10:09:00 PM
Had evox running fine for the last year or so .. decided to give avalaunch a try. Was working fine until I ran a game, and avalaunch tried to switch the video. It crashed while doing this and all i could do was reboot the xbox. It didnt come back on. Just the red flashing LED.
I've read that link vegeta, but it isnt that. There is no way to boot anything, the xbox doesnt even get to the point of loading the bios. I tried removing the modchip, but no luck.
I'm assuming that the EEPROM is stuffed .. how do i fix this?? I have the eeprom.bin file from evox .. can i use this to somehow fix my eeprom .. or am i totally fucked?
cheers.

Post by: dobrodude on February 09, 2004, 11:23:00 AM
I've been using Avalaunch for several months now and haven't had any serious problems. Any problems I ever had, when upgrading to a new version, were usually due to something I overlooked, or a small bug. I personally think that it is far from useless, in fact I'm very impressed with it. The only time I use another dashboard is when I update my bios (use evox for that).
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I just thought I'd offer mine to.
Post by: rob1309 on February 09, 2004, 11:54:00 AM
i've had to deal with 2 separate eeprom issues now so i believe i can tackle any problem i run into
and i don't hold shit against devs, they do this shit for free, not like they steal your money and fuck your box up lol
oh and most of all, they still help people that bitch at them and say they fucked up big time
if it was up to me, anyone that looks down on devs like this wouldn't get helped at all
if i was the dev, i'd help too but soon as someone bitches at me, i'd laugh at em and say "too bad, sucks to be you. goodbye!"

Avalaunch team is going a little too nuts adding on useless crap like that in the first place when there is already a tested and true app out there for that...just my 2 cents.
Just like a browser would cause more probs....I have a PC for that i don't need to go browser the web on my Xbox..I bought the PC for that and the Xbox for gaming.
(I ain't dissing Team Avalaunch they have made the best dashboard by far..all I am saying is stop with the toys --- it has more then enough, if you wanna add something...add flashing the Tsop...something usefull...eeprom thing isn't needed at all)
Kay I have put on my Flame retardent suit -- fire away...
(Ya i see all the damn typo's too....this is the net not english class......)
After re-reading all the posts ... it is a diff prob then I took it as .... although I would of though if on Xbox has probs right after the boot, so would em all, guess not.....probably user error..........hahahahahaha

well i dont think its a bad thing really. i mean, its alpha software, not even halfway to a release, and also, people flashed their bioses to the new x2 bios and cuz of a stupid typo they couldnt boot their dash if they had the ms dash installed, so its not like devs do it on purpose.

I was able to flash my Cham. with EEPROM_RECOVERY_PACKAGE_3.rar and it did the trick, so now i have my modded Xbox v1.0 and my unmodded Xbox v1.4.
So now i'm a happy camper, now i can use my unmodded box for live, and my modded for fun...

They havent fixed it though, they've just disabled it all from what ive read. The evox team actually DID fix their problem, theres quite a big differance.
| QUOTE |
| Totally disabled all functions that could possibly be destructive. We've tried to solve most problems, but some we just can't reproduce for the end of the world, so we're gonna have to disable it until we can. |
See, disabled, NOT fixed
Also the evox problem was nowhere near as bad as the ava problem, your modchip gets a bad flash, turn it off and you still have a working xbox and you can always reprogram the modchip easily.
Your eeprom gets hosed, well the entire xbox is fucked modchip on or off, if you have no backup off the eeprom then you're screwed, along with that lovely 200GB HDD you just baught and locked (a bad flashed modchip will still keep your hdd good to use) You'll need to get a new eeprom or build one from the blanks that come with configmagic final and there arnt many people who would really know how to do that, then you still need some way to flash the patched cromwell eeprom fixing bios to your modchip to fix it.
Atleast with the evox problem you only needed a way to reflash the modchip, the ava problem you need that and a whole heap more to worry about.
Post by: Chicken Scratch Boy on February 11, 2004, 07:05:00 AM
besides, if you upgrade your hdd, you should have a back up of your eeprom anyway, then reflashing the chip is as trivial as bring it to annother modded xbox, or getting a programmer. thebug is only worse if you area moron and dont have an eeprom backup
Post by: Morglum on February 11, 2004, 07:18:00 AM
The fact of the matter is most dont, and i know its their fault, but that still doesnt change the fact they're in the shit. Personally i think if you need to change your video mode or anything else in your eeprom dont use a dashboard, use the tried and tested method of configmagic final, we all know that is the best way to edit your eeprom.
Its not really needed in a dash at all, infact anything in a dash to do with eeprom editing is just asking for trouble, as nice of a feature it might be (should it ever work). The only thing a dashboard should have thats eeprom related is to back it up, nothing more.

Well its quite clear how theyre differant
One the team addressed the problem fixed it and made it work as intended, the other the team just totally disabled the functions, and in a sence ran away from the problem (this is only metaphorically not literally for all you flame war hungry 'tards out there)In their own words they even say its disabled untill they can fix it, which personally i hope they never fix it so all this eeprom editing crap stays out of the dashboard
So yes is was addressed, but its FAR from being fixed as you tried to say it was.

For instance James Bond - Nightfire doesnt work in PAL so I have to start enigmah videodisc and switch the mode to NTSC and then play it. And I would really like to play the games in the modes they were supposed to be played in.
If its to much hazzle I would be satisfied just with some kind of a macro that calls enigmah and switches the videomode to the correct region by looking at the xbe properties.
And regarding fucked up eeprom, as I stated in an earlier post I restored it on my friends box in 5 minutes with config magic blind restore then restored his original eeprom which I ofcourse had backup of and the box was as new.

Well its quite clear how theyre differant One the team addressed the problem fixed it and made it work as intended, the other the team just totally disabled the functions, and in a sence ran away from the problem (this is only metaphorically not literally for all you flame war hungry 'tards out there)In their own words they even say its disabled untill they can fix it, which personally i hope they never fix it so all this eeprom editing crap stays out of the dashboard So yes is was addressed, but its FAR from being fixed as you tried to say it was. |
it boils down to this at the end of the day, the problem was addressed within hours of it being found..
the evox flashing was a "major" feature that they couldent afford to have not working...

Your XboX came with a dashboard that does just that, now say "Thank you MS". You should of left your XboX alone if you were worried bout it getting broke.

My only suggesting is never to use Avalaunch agian. Since they are bunch of dumbnuts. Lucky for me I read and waited to see what happens. And you say that MS dashboard does mess with the eeprom, well guess what it works. Avalaunch programmers suck giant ass dicks. I always said stupid people do stupid things.
P.S They should have tested the new version. And not have fucking messed with eeprom by default that is just moronicly dumb.

Im not worried about my xbox being broken, i havent touched avalaunch for a long time now, i was about to try it again then all these eeprom nuking stories came out and i decided not to waste my time. I also have my eeprom backedup to file and to my modchip so its no problem for me, and we're talking about "alphalaunch" here not the MS dash, and as the previous poster said, the MS dash WORKS!
If you took the time to actually read the previous posts before jumping your mouth off you'd see i was asked in reguards to avalaunch if i would;
| QUOTE |
| rather have a version of ava without the box killing bug, or just wait for a release in a few weeks with the feature working? |
Nowhere is a mention of the MS dash in that post or my responce of;

So next time read the whole thing insted of pulling answers out of your arse that actually have no relevance to the question asked.

This is the kind of post we could use without. We've done so much on the xbox already that the combinations of settings is just to darn big to replicate. There's nothing more dumbfounding than finding what works on your xbox perfectly doesn't on the other. It's just too hard to find out even if you have several xboxes to test it with. I'm sure it was tested by a lot of people and found to be working by those same people. But then again, they don't cover all the scenarios. While some of you have a valid point, posts like this isn't necessary. They have their own view of what should be on their box, which, unfortunately isn't the same as yours. Better suggest of what *you* think should be done than stoop down to name calling. |
Well since they aren't sure it works then they should put in safe guards. Like asking if you want your eeprom messed with. I understand that they can't be sure but they should have safe guards to prevent stuff like this from happening. I do understand the great things that team Avalaunch have done, but we can not let things like this happen agian, safe guards should be place in.
P.S I apologize for my past post.

regardless, you said a dashboard, not a version of avalaunch so therefore the statement about the m$ dash applies. His response was completely relevant.
Amazon.com needs your help. Their overstocked with "The Conventions of English"

And like i pointed out, the question asked was about avalaunch, therefor dashboard clearly relates to that. Yet another who doesnt read
You dont ask a question with a certain focus object of that question, to sudenly become variable in the answer. It remains constant Where do you guys get your schooling Also "jumping your mouth off" is the same as "shooting your mouth off" its an english saying, i wouldnt expect some foreigner to understand that
Maybe you should be the one to go help amazon out.

It's called context man. If I had a cat named bob and someone asked me, "would you rather have bob with out claws?" If I answer "I'd like to have a cat with claws," does the word cat instantly point out that I'm refering to my cat? No, it signifies that I mean any cat.
Anyway, all we have is an argument over a stupid misunderstanding which will lead to absolutely nothing.
What's that line about fighting on the internet and the special olympics?

| In all, the attitudes of the developers in the forums as well as the thread posters in general, has seriously soured my opinion of the Avalaunch project and this section of the Xbox-scene community as a whole. Of course, there are better ways of expressing yourself and seeking help in a matter other than using profanities and large, obnoxiouly oversized text, but there are also better ways of responding, no matter how undeserving or ungrateful you believe they might be. |
im still waiting for anyone to point out ANYTHING that the devs said that was NEGATIVE..

I agree. If you don't want to take the risk, then don't open the box.
When I modded my box, that was the 1st time I had ever soldered before. I knew very well that I might mess up my xbox and have to buy another one(in addition to the lost money from the mod chip and tools I had to buy).
If its not worth the risk, then don't do it.
Advice: Once you get it fixed either un-mod it and go back to MSDash or get a stable version and NEVER change it again. Of course, you'll miss all the cool, new updates,,... but at least we'll never have to hear your whining and cussing on the board again.

I'd like to know what the local pro had to do to fix it.
If you can share that with us, then you'll actually be useful.

I didn't fully understand. I think he disconnected the EEPROM, took off the X2 and burned it with a BIOS that can boot without the EEPROM. He did this on another XBOX because he didn't have a burner for the X2.
Then he reconnected the X2 and EEPROM and flashed it with the backup.
Seems a bit strange, but it was not easy to understand him.
Now I see someone managed to delete 150G of games by simply copying files. Just great.

There are too many other dashboards to be using something as unstable and damaging as this one. Shame on you if you screwed up your Xbox, I have no remorse for you since you have read here over and over how all these people screwed their Xboxes. Trust me take it off your Xbox while your Xbox is still working!

| if it isn't obvious already, anyone who modifies there xbox in anyway runs the risk of damaging it to the point of no return, of course its worse when an application in developement/beta causes this problem. Do you want to have a kick ass Dashboard? The FTP speeds in AVA alone make it a worthwhile app for use (even if not as a dash) |
just thought I'd highlight his greatest points...
I use Avalaunch for the ftp only...wow its fast!
but other than that I have just played around with it...
another point I'd like to bring up, is that you can use a usb Keyboard in avalaunch, and in the built in XToolbox that comes inside Avaluanch.
but I WONT be upgrading my avalaunch again anytime soon, glad I grabbed the newest version a couple of weeks ago ( again another very cool feature, the update dashboard button inside ava)

P.S. I love avalaunch! And want this program to be THE MAIN dashboard for the xbox ... so I'm speaking as a Friend to the Developers of the program ...so ... the guys that created and developed this Program get the proper Praise and Respect that they deserve for a great program ... so "Pro Alpha Testers First" please!
Thanks guys!
P.S.S. How about 10 Pro Alpha Testers that are just assigned 1 or 2 tasks each... such as ONE guy just checks IRC and Newsfeeder. Another checks Skins ,ect! Keep it Simple! So the check can be made quickly.
