Taken from the readme file from this release....

"At the moment, there’s not much feature but I plan to keep an adding more as I go about it. Here are some features I’m planning to include but not limited to:

1)   FTP client for your xbox to xbox transfer needs.
2)   Video Support (WMV and XMV only). This is purely for skinners delight. It’s not my plan to make UnleashX a full featured multimedia player. We already have those and they work so well.
3)   Text Editor.
4)   SMTP (outgoing mail client) so you can send email right from your xbox. (Though it’s gonna be a pain in the *** with just the virtual keyboard)
5)   More in-box settings. Xbe renaming, either temporary (via cache) or permanent (xbe). Adding/modifying password for all menu items is also being planned.
6)   Game save manager
7)   Custom soundtrack support.
8)   And a lot more…"

No. This is the QuickCopyDVD. What it does is that it get's the name from the current title, determines your biggest partition and dumps the content there under the Games folder. If you want to control the location, use File Manager and select the Copy Disk option there. Don't forget to patch the xbe afterwards. After its finished copying, select default.xbe, hit start, then XBE File Patch.

This is the only forum on XS that I've read EVERY post... I'm thinking that I might be able to keep up while there are only a few hundred people using the new dash  :-)

I'm mostly amazed by the fact this release came so quickly! That shows great coding in the fact that you can fix bugs without having to modify a bunch of worm code... keep the quality high!!

Also - If I'm not mistaken you have fixed some bugs that have never been mentioned... maybe privately, but I don't remember some of these fixes ever reported!  totally cool!

Great work, By far my favorite dash....

I found one possible bug....

<Games AutoLaunch="Yes" />   <----  typo??
<DVD AutoLaunch="Yes">F:AppsDVDX2default.xbe</DVD>
<AudioCD AutoLaunch="Yes">C:xboxdash.xbe</AudioCD>
<Data AutoLaunch="Yes"></Data>

and these don't seem to save properly... keep defaulting back to "yes"
Title: Unleashx V0.2.1201a
Post by: unleashx on December 01, 2003, 10:40:00 PM
No, it's not a typo.

<Games AutoLaunch="Yes" /> and <Games AutoLaunch="Yes"></Games> has the same meaning as far as xml is concerned.

I'll look into it why it's not saving.

Just so you know, you can hold any of the trigger buttons while inserting a disk to suppress auto loading, exactly like the Shift key in Windows.

hi there,for some reason i cant change tracks playing in the background of the dash that have been ripped with the M$ dash,in the last release it was push right on the D-Pad and it would goto the next track,now that dun do it in this release,has the button been moved or was it removed or is it ment to change the track but its not???....

-another prob i have is when i set to auto launch games in the settings to No(or yes)and save it and reboot it seems to not save the change ,i have to edit the config.xml for it to let me change it frm yes to no,the dash reports it changed it and needs to reboot but when u reboot it doesnt save the change,ne thoughts...


EDIT: never mind about changing the tracks,i found it,it was hold the white button and push left/righ on the D-Pad,but 1 thing i noticed is its extreamly fast,i push right and it skips to the last track cause it go's so fast,ne 1 to slow it down???

@wacco
Thanks, glad you liked it.  beerchug.gif

@Krill123,
head over to allxboxskins.com. KoldFuzion made a vid of UnleashX in action. Also, I think yourwishismine did one too and maybe available on MXM channel.

@knives77,
I'll check but I had this working properly. Though XBoxgeek reported that when he entered something in the screensaver text, that would lock up his xbox. Leaving it blank or turning it off altogether is his work around.

@tweaqr
Can you elaborate more? What do you mean F doesn't work? Can't you browse it from File Manager?

When you say "don't work". Does it just not load or does the game game crash at a particular point.

I have just checked Halo retail PAL from both original disc and backup and UnleashX launches & runs them fine. I must admit I only played half the first level as a test, but it was okay.

Couple things about the new version...

Trying my hand at making a skin, and:
I've placed the Fog="False" entry in my main just like it says in the readme.txt, and I didn't notice any change (unless what I thought was the fog is actually something else... the blur-like thing in the middle of the screen, right?)

And when I try to use the custom tags in the Info Text, they don't seem to work:
QUOTE
If you don't like this behavior, you can still use the tag but enclose it with the "$" character, like Source="$IP$".


It just says "IP: $IP$" on screen.

did you rename the default.xbe to evoxdash.xbe or whatever

Screenshot grab should use something other than the left trigger - not easy to be accurate when the trigger changes the menu items.

Post by: czechmypockets on December 02, 2003, 08:11:00 PM
not sure if anyone else is having this issue, but Tray Open (and subsequently) Close dont work.
I have a Samsung, would this affect this..

also, through editing the xml and transferrring from PC to xbox a few times, I have noticed that the xbox copy (being overwritten) has shrunk since i last copied it over. Perhaps this is part of the save issue?

I'd like to say keep it simple, like just a launcher.
But many people want many different things so i guess just keep it unbloated, unlike many replacement dashboards and media players *cough*

keep up the good work!

hi there,i seem to be having some probs with the ftp and multi users logging into this new dash,i have it set to 5 users can ftp in but it seems to lock up my xbox if i ftp in more than 1 user at a time,i switched back to the first relase and it lets me ftp in with 5 users no probs,i have the xml etc all set right as i said i can copy over the new version with the old version of the xbe and it works sweet,ne 1 else having probs with mutli ftp in the release???



EDIT: ok i been playin with the dash and i come to the conclusion thats its the screen saver lockin up the xbox when u ftp in with more than 1 ftp,as soon as the saver is ment to come on it locks up the xbox.....is ne 1 else having the same prob????


P.S. Man this dash rocks!!!!

Post by: XBoxgeek on December 02, 2003, 09:53:00 PM
Just remove your custom text for the screensaver and you will be okay i.e. leave the text field blank. UnleashX is looking in to it and will get back to us if/when he finds anything.

I did both. I left the text blank and I set the screensavers time to "0".
Still I get the same issues.
love this dash though and it's a small annoyance but nothing major. I got my bootdisk so that holds me up until the bug get's sorted out.

"Final" only meant a version that have the worst bugs ironed out smile.gif
It allread looks FAR more promising that the nexGen-vaporware (sorry guys, but is it ;( )   LOL

I downloaded a few skins which didn't work that great with the latest UnleashX version... I only imagine that's because you have changed something reg. the skinning-engine ?

Also a small suggestion : you should set the IP adress to dynamic in the default XML setup file... the first time i ran UnleashX, my PC was kicked of the net since it used the 192.168.1.100 address wink.gif
