When I choose a skin, it doesn't stay when I reboot. This happened with the last version for me as well. Any ideas?

Press "A" or "B" button. Pressing the "Back" button is for live previewing the skin which will only last till the next reboot.

I was mad to find a bug so i could post it on here but i cant find one smile.gif

This release has sorted all 3 of my problems that the last version gave me.
Very nice work.

What about sound in the preview videos? It sounds like it starts and then cuts right out. I also still can't figure out how to get the intro.wmv to load either.

Post by: Ed_209 on January 18, 2004, 06:31:00 PM
Sorry if I sound like a pain in the ass. I have a skin that I really like that doesn't play any of the sound in the video previews. I like it when the preview videos stay silent and the background music just keeps playing. Can you have an option: "mute music when video is playing? yes or no"  ?  That way if people have skins with muted video previews they can keep their music playing nonstop and others who would prefer it the other way can keep their music cutting off randomly.  Other than that I love everything else. Except occasionally unleashx won't restart because of problems loading up skins, but that's another can of worms all together. Thanks for the great work and good luck with whatever personal obstacles in your life you may be having.

edit: **unleashx**
I totally overlooked that option. There's a feature where you can turn on/off the audio for previews, which should determine if background music should be muted or not. It's just a flag, I'll add that in.

strange bug started last release. i can only change skins once then it doesnt change skins when i select a new one. i have to use a memory manager or go to msdashboard remove the unleashx save and reboot. i have to repeat this process any time i want to try out a new skin or preview one.

blink.gif   End User error: finally found my problem had a couple of bad zips. unzipped all of my skins and now it works like a charm.

Thanks to the author for this great dashboard! unleashx is by far my fravorite dash and i've tried em all.

Im not having the sensitivity problem atall, i did last release, seems ok now.
Also my skins are fine, tried like 13 skins and they all worked fine :/

Make sure you guys are using it as a dash not an app.

Ok well this release is awesome, I'm pretty sure unleashX has passed the beta stage now.  I will continue to use it becuase it's so fast and reliable.

2 bugs I found today.  Both very minor.
1.  When renaming xbe's, the music will make a noise like bad reception for a split second.  This does not affect renaming.
2.  On earlier versions, my xbox was listed as v1.0 (correctly).  Now it says v1.1+.

**EDIT**: I use it as an app with no problems also

I just uploaded it to the box, cannot do alot of testing right now ( gotta get back to work ), but I have the EXACT same thing happening.

My BOX is 100% a 1.0 - but it displays as a  1.1+

Yeah, still doing the same for me...I'm glad it was narrowed down to the DVD dongle however....I didn't run it before because it wasn't stable, but now I know that it's the dongle...so I'll just take it out until the problem is resolved.

Already had it freeze on me...but I'll test it out without the dongle and see what happens.

edit: Just had it freeze again whilst trying to go to the games section.....random music is on...

Freezes for me on bootup as well.  However, I noticed that if I click on the tray eject button it 'unfreezes' and loads through fine.  Strange.

It's actually rebooting when you click the tray eject button.  this is by design of the xbox, i believe, and not related to UnleashX.

I have troubles with it locking up on boot up periodically, seems to do it 1 out of 10 times or so.  Also the thing people mentioned about preview video sounds.. and when I scrolls to a app/games that has a preview video, my music stops and I don't get sound from either the preview video or the background music.. that kinda stinks, but I was thinking it was related to an option that is set in the skin I am using, I just haven't taken the time to look into it.  Also, when scrolling through selections in the menu, if I scroll really quickly, sometimes, it locks up and I have to reboot.  The choppy preview video problem with WMV's is majorly improved, but it still doesn't play WMV preview videos as good as MXM does, but that's ok.. I'll just have to convert them to XMV and see how they look then.  Ok that's all the 'bugs' that I've noticed... now I HUGE round of applause for all the new features, I especially love the new action command and the ability to rename xbe titles.. super awesome... great job... and as always... Thank you for all the hard work...

I can't seem to get the DVD dongle to work when it's in the fourth controller port.  Is this something new or am I just a retard?
Title: Unleashx V0.26.0119a
Post by: lotw on January 19, 2004, 08:30:00 AM
I have only  found one problem with the new version, but when I replaced the default.xbe and config.xml,  I deleted the save game data for UnleashX and the Items.xml.

The problem is still the ChipID$  Any skin that uses that will lock the dashboard when I try to launch an app or game.  Also the speed of the left analog stick is way slower than it used to be, I liked the analog stick being real fast and the D-Pad or Left/Right Triggers being medium speed.

Congrats on fixing 99% of the problems that I had with the dash.  I have been using this as my only dashboard since the first version.

I'm using the DVD dongle and have no problems. I have it on the fourth port of a v1.2 Xbox with an X2 4977 BIOS.

I really appreciate the fixes in reguard to accessing the memory card in the file manager. Previous versions had me scratching my head as to what I was doing wrong!

The only bug I've seen is that when you eject a DVD playing in the MS dash, the Xbox reboots and UnleashX comes up without a skin loaded. Everything's back to normal after a manual reboot.

sad.gif mine has just started doing what it used to.
I used IGR then my dash froze..rebooting. it just hung there sad.gif restarted another 2 times and it is fine again.

But it used to do this and go back to the default skin...when it reboots now the skin is fine.

Seems the problem is still there with the crashes with the soundtracks sad.gif

Still great dash tho m8, well aprreciated.

But if you put this to the top of your todo list would be ace! biggrin.gif

I did find a strange bug:  When i rename "Dvd-X2 Dongle Free Dvd Player" to just "Dvd-X2 Dvd Player" it turns around and names it "Dvd-X2 Dvd Player Dvd Player" kind of wierd but I have renamed other xbe's and had no problems.

This isn't major by any means but it was one of those wierd things that some people appreciate.

Thanks for an awesome dash, I go around the channel pushing it all the time! muhaha.gif

This would be my favorite dash...If it didn't keep on freezing on boot for my TSOP flashed 1.3 Xbox. It looks tight though. I'd swith from Avalaunch in an instant if it wasn't for that problem.

ONE other thing... can you disable the "ticking" sound of the text bouncing on the screen saver.  I like all the other sfx the way they are but that is annoying, cool that it can be done though!

Thank you for this excellent update.  I had been on the first version up until now because all of the others locked up on me.  I've had it on for pretty much the whole day and only had one problem with it...and I'm not even sure if it has anything to do with UX.

Today I upgraded to a High Def cable, changed my M$ settings, and the display settings on my TV...while UX was running on my xbox.  Then I went go to into Games and it locked up.  I've since powered off and on quite a few times and have done numerous other things (games, apps) and have had no problems.

Perhaps that was an isolated incident.

Thanks again...love this dash!!!!

Awesome job, just upgraded to the new version.  I don't plan on having any probs.  The only prob I had last version was the jumpy wmv's and the freezing music issue.  I converted all the wmv's to xmv, and after I ripped about 5 new cd's to my xbox, the freezing problem stopped.

I was talking about the communicator headset dongle you plug into your controller and this was the last version since i havent test the new one yet but i noticed it wasnt in the changelog...
As i said b4 UnleashX wont boot for me with the headset plugged in dvd dongle in port 4 works fine for me.

I can't FTP to my xbox. I setup using a new router and I can't FTP to my box. Should I reset the router and my computer?
It was working before, that's why I thought this might be a new version bug.
Title: Unleashx V0.26.0119a
Post by: unleashx on January 19, 2004, 08:36:00 PM
Okay, the only replicable problem I've seen so far is the Xbox version being V1.1+, instead of the real V1.0. I haven't checked the Chip ID yet, but I will later. DVD dongle on port 4 is okay, I've had mine on port 4 ever since.

If you don't see your Drive G, enable it from the settings and you should see it immediately after you save it. It's disabled by default.

As for the communicator issue, sorry I can't test it yet. I don't have one but I'll try to get one.

As for the freezing on bootup, if you don't see the Xbox logo fade, the dash ain't loaded yet, thus, is out of my hand already. I have experienced this as well, but using UnleashX or Evox seems to not matter, it just happens. Right now, I'm leaning towards BIOS issue but I really can't say for sure.

It would help a lot if you tell me your setup: What BIOS are you using? Are you using it as an app or dashboard? Please provide as much info as you can, and if necessary, post your config.xml (edit it, I just need the settings section).

I really like UnleashX, but one thing really puts me off :-)
I can't ftp to it from my Mac with Transmit running under OSX 10.3/Panther.  It connects and logs in OK, but fails getting a file listing etc... Really disappointing since you have been working on the ftp server... In one of the earlier builds it was rock solid! (BTW I might have been running OSX 10.2, same Transmit version when it worked). You must have made some major changes??? It would be great to get it working again!

Regarding the freeze on boot: I installed it on a machine and it froze with the X logo up but dimmed. So UnleashX had loaded... Reboot didn't help. So I booted from DVD, deleted the config file and rebooted. It worked. Then I fired up XBMP (remember I can't get UX:s ftp to work) and ftp:d over the SAME config file again. Rebooted and everything worked fine.... Could be the config became corrupt, could be some other thing, anyhow this worked for me.

on to my real request, I would just LIKE to see a "summary" page at then end of a game copy, like in dvd2xbox saying how many were renamed and patched and all that... makes me feel a little more secure. Till then I'll keep using dvd2xbox for peace of mind.

Just noticed something this second!
when you are xfer'ing in ftp and it goes to auto shut down should the "warning shutting down in x seconds" keep comming up and going away?  kind of freaked me out just now wink.gif

Excellent job though! Look forward to more great things!

It seems there's a little problem with the DVD autolaunch function.

It does launch at the 1st time though, but once I pressed the eject&reset button to get back the Unleashx dash, then put the DVD tray back in, the dash would detect the movie disk, but it won't launch automatically.

I'm using the XBOX DVD kit, X2 4976.02 bios, and have set the oringinal MS dash as my DVD player.

I've tested unleashx with Transfer and had the same bug in this version. I would recommend Fetch, which does work on my test system using Panther/10.3.

Let me know if you are still having problems. I can probably figure it out for you.

After installing the new version, I turned my soundtrack back on and my xbox had frozen once. I'm not sure if it was after the X was dimmed or not, but I have turned off my soundtrack for now. I haven't had much chance to test it.. maybe tonight I can boot up my xbox a few dozen times to see if it freezes again.

im not having the igr skin issues...
if you are
maybe list what bios your using...
and after how many igr's does the skin or dash fail...
im sure its hard to trouble shoot with out knowing what variables could be causing the issues.
id say if your reporting a bug, list:

bios version
xbox version
any kind of hardware you might have ie: large hdd ect...
or any software variables like  if you had music running or videos playing at the time...

with more info getting to unleash maybe the few "flaws" this dash has can be resolved.

grade A dash by the way just replaced my mxm with it...thats saying alot!

the music player was causing problems in the last realese too if im correct, for now just to be 100% stable you might just want to run the dash with out music...

And about the shutdown notice, yeah, it will be reset when FTP stats change. It's by design. You don't want it turned off while copying, do you?

Oh I understand that... I just was wondering about the count down box kept dropping and saying 29 seconds over and over... I thought that maybe like the screen saver as long as there was activity the counter didn't start at all.  I guess i rather it this way that way if I leave it won't stay on for an hour for no reason.

I just upgraded to the new version and it locks up every time I try to load it.  Right now I'm running it as an app from Evo X 3921.  It starts to fade and about halfway thru the fade it locks up.  The old version worked flawlessly.  I have a 1.0 xbox, Xecuter 2.3b Lite and I'm using bios x2 4980.

I've tried deleteing the whole directory and re-uploading all the files.  I've got rid of all my skins except the default ofcourse.  And I've also deleted the "savegame" file in the msdash.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.  I really want to use this as my default dash because EvoX is kinda well.....you know.  But I can't replace evo until I get this problem straightened out.  Any help would be appreciated

I must admit that the old version is not 100% stable either. When stepping into f/apps/ and deeper in the directory structure it gives errors about the file listings but still lists the files correct. Copying one of the files on such a (failed) directory to the Mac gives a 0 byte file... :-(
Hope this helps.

BTW I noticed that the freeze on boot occurs after installing a new drive in the xbox (with a UnleashX DVD). The first boot after the install freezes when the X logo is dimming. Maybe it makes som initialization on the first run through on a new disk? I also noticed that when it has finished installing a new drive you get the message to press shoulder+shoulder+start to reboot. It never does reboot, just freezes. Tried this on several boxes. These aren't serious problems, I can live with them, but the ftp I would love to see working ;-)

A couple things I've found (and already talked to you about...just letting others know it's being worked on)

1) Audio stops playing when dvd drive is ejected and restarts on a dif song.

2) RSS Newsfeeds don't work

3) Need for Speed Underground logo won't show up

The news feeds work perfect for me as does the NFS Underground Logo.  When upgrading to a new version of the dash I would suggest to always remove the Items.xml and the game save for UnleashX.

The soundtracks and stuff seem to be stable in this release, except the CHIPID doesn't work in the skins, causes lockups still.  Could be just a problem with the new chips, like the X2 v2.3.

Anyone know who did Soundtrack Editor? Haven't use it myself ph34r.gif . I guess using the API is unstable, more so with the audio exploit. Plus, st.db can easily get corrupted for an unknown reason. I'm thinking of reading sd.db manually to tie the music folders with soundtrack and song name, unless you wouldn't care to have "0000" for a sountrack name and "0000001.wma" for a song name biggrin.gif . I'm thinking of parsing it myself, but anything that would speed up my work is ace. I know where to look for the music, I just need the format of st.db.

@sirsmooth,
I'll continue to check with everything else.

I actually would rather you add MP3 support for the background music then the stuff I ripped for games.  That way I could store tons more songs on the F: or G: drives and play those instead.  Does away with having to play with the ST.DB file.

It doesn't do it nearly as much as in the previous release.  It's tolerable enough that both of us are keeping it default...this dash is too good not to.

Again, thanks for this wonderful dash.  I'm not complaining...just trying to give you as much input as I can.  If you need anything configured any specific way on my end for testing then let me know.

@lotw,
If I don't crack the problem with music, I may go the mp3 way (with support for wma still, of course) much earlier than anticipated.

I turned off my music mainly because it was making my tired of hearing it in the games.  The Xbox partition where it stores the custom soundtracks is just too small to store a good amount of music where you don't get tired of it and have to replace after a while.  I am already tired of one of 3 of the CDs I have ripped to the Xbox and now have to replace.

That is actually the main reason I suggested MP3 support for the dashboard, much easier to replace those songs and larger drive partitions for storing more.

So far I've had this new version lock up a few times when I select Apps or System.  It's only done it a few times now but I don't think I've seen it mentioned before.  It seems to do it shortly after I connect my crossover cable to it.

Also still getting the lock on boot (black screen) on occasion...not had any problems with IGR as of yet.  My roommates xbox locks occasionally on boot as well.

Both are v1.0 with larger hdds.  One with 4977 (yeah, I need to get around to upping his bios  biggrin.gif ) and 4980 on mine.  Both are set a default through x-select.  Yes, both of us have music enabled.  It doesn't happen often enough for me to want to disable it.

I'm having the exact same issue.

And I agree, it happens a lot less than the previous version...I had to switch to MXM for a while because it happened about 3 out of 4 boots.  But now it's down to about 1 out of 10 boots smile.gif

Which...is good enough for me smile.gif unleashx is worth rebooting once every 10 times for smile.gif

i agree with lotw.
mp3 support over wma would  be alot easier for the average user.
mp3's would make this dash even better.
unless it weighed the dash down it works smooth now wiht no music playing id hate to see mp3 use drag the  dash down.

Just go into your settings in Unleash X and turn the "Sound" to zero. You can leave the music at 100 to still have your soundtrack.

the xbe renamer works flawlessly if you are renaming it to something longer than the original title......however, if you name it something smaller than the original the characters that arent written over still apear in the xbe name.

i. e. if you name XBMP's xbe to "XBMP" from the original "Xbox Media Player"....it will appear "XBMP Media Player"

I too use MacOSX, and in the last release, added to a thread about some issues I was having with FTP.

I suspect it wasn't to do with MacOS, since it was with some cli FTP clients I used, including AFAIR the standard OSX and WinXP ftp.  I did post a transcript, it was to do with the reporting of the sizes of the different partitions.

I'm not at home right now, but can redo the experiment and post.

The other thing I've noticed is the 'skin-returning-to-default' issue - this seems to happen to me only if I insert a DVD video, play it then use the IGR (or maybe eject, but my BIOS latest X2 with eject-fix, so I can't recall if this resets it).

No biggie, except to get to my skin, I think I had to do a hard reset (power off, then on).

This realy isn't a bug per say but it was annoying.   UnleashX is the only dash on my kids system.  I have it setup with only 3 items on the main page
1: GAMES   ( link to the games list )
2: LAUNCH DVD  (Passworded )
3: SETTINGS  ( links to all other functions including apps. also Passworded )

So anyway.   I fired it up so I could load a game for them and ran into this.

Using the primary controler I could move Up and Down through the 3 selections but could not select any of them. Pressing the buttons did not do anything.   I could do an IRG ( Using X2 4977 on Chameleon )

On the reset UnleashX came back up and still had the problem.  Up/Down but no response from the buttons for menu selection.

I then went to check if the second controler was having the same problem. Thinking that maybe the kids broke a controler.  It was then that I discovered that the Right Thumb stick on controler 2 was stuck over to the left.   When I released it all worked perfectly again.   Looks like analog input from another controler can over ride button presses on the primary controler

This is not an UnleashX Problem. Even the MS dashboads allows all the controller ports to control the dashboard.


I am aware of that.  That is not the point.   What I was trying to convey is that. IF you are controling from port 1 and an analog stick is held in any direction on another controler, while it appears that UnleashX is functioning you are unable to use any of the buttons on controler 1 other than up and down.  Generally on the MS Dash any controler works and all buttons function. Even if you are pressing up on controler 2 you can still press A on controler 1 to make a selection.  With UnleashX this is not the case.  It seemed that although the dash had loaded it was not responding properly.  Untill I noticed that controler 2 had a stick stuck to the left.  So ultimately it was not a question of being able to control the dash with a second controler, it was a case of INPUT from the second controler was interupting input from the primary controler.      

This was intended to be more of an informational post for those that may think the dash had locked up. Just check your other controlers to see if they are stuck.

Hi unleashx.

I am also having the Xbox MS DVD controller problem. I can use the controller fine in all other apps such as Evox and xbmc etc. But the first time I try to press the down button on the controller, it continues to scroll very fast throught all options, stopping at the last. Pressing up has the same effect in reverse, speeds to the top of the menu list.

If I am quick, I can get it to select options, but it's very hard smile.gif

I am using an original MS Dongle/controller ( this model ). I have tried all ports for the dongle, with and without normal controllers. No change. I use a 1.1 PAL Xbox with Xecuter2.3b+ lite.

I have an IPAQ and I have loaded the PDAWin as you requested. The same symptoms are shown using that device too. If you need to try these codes and you have a recent copy of PDAWin, you can set it in CCF mode and download this ( .ccf file ) for your tests.

Hope this helps you test, the unleashx dash is my first choice but useless to my needs without a remote.

p.s. I did try an eval version of Ultramote but after the laborious task of learning all the buttons I found the settings files to be unclear and I am not sure what to send you!

Keep up the fab work on this dash.

I think that I may have found a bug.  When copying a disc from the dvd drive if you go to the File Explorer you have 2 choices for copying a game disc.  One is "Copy Disc" and the other is "Quick Copy Disc."  If I chose the "Copy Disc" I get the error "An error occured while copying files...Error Code 2."  If I chose "Quick Copy Disc" everything is fine.  Also If I copy a game disc under SystemMiscCopy Game Disc everything is fine.

Can anyone else confirm this error I get?

I'll check that out later.

@Soop,
I tried the file and the 4 others found in the same site, but they seem to work properly. I guess this is the same code from the old IR. My Pioneer (RCA based) IR is also working fine on Xbox. However, I'll be trying a few things later. I'll be contacting a few people later this week who have problems with the IR and have them test the build.

OK, firstly I had "learnt" all of the buttons from my DVD remote into PDAWin yestersday. So the files I have will include all the buttons including of course your requested ones.

PDAWin files requested

The Up, Down & Select buttons are in the SHIFT screen of the "Xbox" device. I had to add another device called "Xbox2" to include all the numbers although you shouldn't require that.

Lastly, while I hope this helps, I tend to agree with DaWaN in that it is looking like the dongle as I have now tried 3 remotes with what I think are the only codes available. Do you think there are different versions of codes?
