IngeniouX Beta
Posted by XanTium | January 25 18:31 EST | News Category: Xbox360
 
Ski-lleR released a new homebrew beta dashboard for the Xbox360:
Quote

To help with the future development of a complete replacement solution for the Microsoft dashboard, I'm working on a homebrew intended to be a rather interesting base.

Features:
    * Interface with tab system for navigate trough main function
    * Listing of downloaded content (WIP...)
    * FTP server
    * Image viewer
    * Text viewer
    * Listing of extracted game :
         1.   Show icon of the game (manually extract with Y -> "Extraire l'icone")
         2.   Show preview of the game (manually extract with Y -> "Extraire preview")
         3.   Extract full HD picture of the game directly in Wallpaper folder (Y -> "Extraire l'image HD")
    * File browser :
         1.   Dual browse view
         2.   Move/Copy/Delete/Create (Multi-selection like unleashX on the work eg. you press X, that select the current, and go to next entry)
         3.   File property (WIP...)
         4.   Extract of DVD with Y (WIP...)
         5.   Archives handling (tar, tar.gz, zip in extract/compress, rar in extract, WIP...)
         6.   Contextual menu handle all of this functionnality. You can also define a folder as a game folder by selecting "Definir comme dossier à scanner" in browser.
    * Option system :
         1.   Option are automatically registered in a .ini file
         2.   You can modify the skin, who have to be in subfolder of skin directory
         3.   You can modify wallpaper. Picture must be in Wallpaper directoryr
         4.   A scan list for extracted game (from here, you remove the folder, and from browser, you add a folder, simple!)
         5.   You can activate a background music
         6.   You can choose to show or hide log

Source will be released soon, for now, you can find a compiled beta floating around (thanks to iriez).

Install Notes:
Copy "IngeniouX" folder in the root of a device (hdd, usb ...)
Copy "C0DE9998" folder in hdd:\Content\000000000000000000 (remove IngeniouXusb or IngeniouXhdd, depend on where you put IngeniouX folder)
Launch, and enjoy

Thanks to:
ServaLL for pushing me in the great world of programming
tmbinc for helping me a lot with libxenon
Team of Xexmenu for Quickboot
Brodie Thiesfield for Ini Lib
NextGen team for the FTP source ( change will come, but for test, i use that )
Some people floating around here for helping me with JTAG
Some people of gxmod for helping me to debug the program

I didn't see the whole video, but of what I saw it looks like pretty good. I'm looking forwards to seeing your work continue!

EDIT: Just wanted to add I like the color schemes. Looks good.

I appreciate the fact someone is working on something like this but to be honest the NXE dash is just fine.

I would rather see modifications to the existing dashboard.

Thanks to all the developers working hard on stuff like this!

We need a way to jump right into something like this on boot.

Sort of like an auto start for an xex on the HD on power up.

Would be awesome to be able to ditch NXE.

custom dashboard FTW!! biggrin.gif

awsome works guys!!
can u guys please get all together. pro coders.

xexmenu, kiosk, flash360 emu gguys etc etc etc

and share source code between all of you?

make a team, so you all can share code and thoughts/ideas

and release a all-in-one thing? smile.gif

Have you seen 360Menu or Kiosk 2.1 yet?

They pretty much mimick the NXE all the way.

Man the scene is hoppin right now! I love this phase of homebrew! Daily releases when stuff is still new and unthought of.

I have xexmenu 1.0 as well kiosk 2.1. I think this dash has some potential. if only we had an english version because the .ini file doesn't allow much configuration. great work though. biggrin.gif

nice...

but XBMC 360 as a dash would be nicer.  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

what about a windows 7 or mac osx looking dashboard. I think it would be great to use the 360 dashboard like a computer, with the option of using the 360 controller or a usb keyboard and mouse. you could integrate,

media player
web browsing
ftp
a nice file browser
hard drive utilities
nand flashing
messenger
etc.

That's a shame ... i didnt find out some files to edit language .And  confi.ini has just about 4 commands .

Maybe they are on original_skin.xui ,original_scene.xui

Anyone has some ideas ? How edit language ?

Agreed, kind of like the iPhone/iPod touch scene. Don't get me wrong all the new homebrew is great but I wouldn't mind changing the color of the NXE squares if you will. Green get's tiring really fast these days.

I agree, NXE is perfect as a frontend just needs getting rid of some xblive windows to make cleaner, and we have xexmenu for general editting. On xbox1 I always used the hacked dashboard that looked like the official dash, someone remembers the name of it?

btw great work by Ski-lleR. I'll have a look into it and trying extract it as a xex for testing

Post by: krizalid on January 25, 2010, 11:20:00 PM
I think the whole Idea of homebrew is for us to create, not to copy or simulate another operating system.

yes, changing the NXE would be nice, Yes, Sony´s PS3 XMB would be nice, YES XBMC would be supper... but where is the originality in all this? All the same.


I like this Dash as It is and there isn't anything better out there. I think that improving this dash, it could become the next UnleashX for the 360.

I really like to see more stuff like:

- Main Menu seleccion support (a config file that we can configure and build to only show what we want it to be like.
- Skinning support similar to UnleashX (Enough Said)
- FTP File browser (conect to another 360 via network, removing the need of a computer to transfer files between them.
- Simple video preview support ( *drools* )
- Scripting support (We can bulid our own installer discs and by the press of a button, have it install various applications via batch installs, etc.)
- Child Safe locks (maybe with an edited config file that will only allow us to choose game to run)

I can add many more, but I'm not coding this and it might  be a little too complex.

Cheers!!!! This is great, let's see some more.

"Imitation is the sincerest of flattery" - Charles Caleb Colton.

And I've got nothing against that whatsoever.... XBMC is what brought me to the Xbox homebrew scene for it's ease of use. My Falcon JTAG is pending, as soon as something similar to XBMC is released.

For those who really don't speak any word of french, this is a small translation (just interface, no log or extra text, but it's a start if you want test)

http://www.sendspace.com/file/b1pduz (just place it in skin>default)

Just one thing, since some text are dynamic, in the file browser, the text of the first item in contextual menu change according to specific file action. So, if you see "Définir comme dossier jeux" (for folder), it's for add the folder to the scan list

And different language support is on the work for the final.

When i release code, i continue the dev in svn or git, so people can easy join the project.
The team of xexmenu work in closed source, so i think it's not compatible

this is really good stuf,just had a look at it (with the english skin offcourse) and this is great.
maybe a litlle more translation (don't understand french) but this is looking promising.maybe a complete skin in english with buttons and ip shit etc. great stuff
Title: IngeniouX Beta
Post by: dlav on January 26, 2010, 12:42:00 PM
Great stuff. With this i get 10-12MB via ftp. I can only push 7-8MB with xexmenu via filezilla and 6-7 simultaneous transfers. More than 7 makes is worse.

I found something wrong with the ftp server. It seems to disconnect after a large number of files are transferred or something. You have to restart the program to get it working again...

Well, at least this app does not hold the gpu chip hostage. After an hour of ftp transfer i launch xexmenu to check temps and my falcon has the gpu at ~58.  In 60 seconds xexmenu gets it at 71. ph34r.gif

A stable and ultrafast FTP server is the most important thing at this time IMHO. The teams behing the few apps that have ftp support should work together on sharing the good stuf!  cool.gif

I still get max 3mb in FTP !!! but it's cool ..

The interface isn't good ... and hope to see .iso support for games extraction ......

I really appreciate the work behind a soft like this, but why do french people always think it's the right thing to release it in french? I never saw german, spanish or italian only homebrew. It's just the french people doing stuff for their own people only. I mean, really, are the french 360 owners too stupid to read english like everyone else in the world (I don't think so!) or is this misguided patriotism? Why in the world is there no external file for the text so everyone can translate? Why force french on us? This homebrew is really good, it could spread wildly... but not in french only!

Yes, of course I'd like to see it in German, Italian, Spanish AND French, but this should be optional. English would be good enough for about 90% of the modders.

It's just a beta, for get some feedback, debugging team is french, so it's better for us to use it in english for good report. Don't worry, first final will support multiple language (and i provided a english translation, so, stop crying, and start reading  rolleyes.gif)

no, jesus please no. All of these "OSX and Windows 7" skins look half-assed.
Plus these OSes were not meant to be operated with a joystick. Even MS could´t shoehorn Windows to fit on another platform (use a windows mobile phone and you´ll see).

Look at xbmc. They didn´t copied anyone and, on the xbox, their interface is better than the original dash.
