**** Change Log **** *Fixed Stupid bug that could lock the dash when launching an app too soon when BGM is enabled. *Fixed locking up when changing skins and there's an icon on the systems submenu *Fixed weird scrolling up of the menu items when using the free format menu style *Fixed HTTP Proxy settings/saving *Fixed Password/Passcode is ignored when showing the context menu. *Fixed Icon/Video assignment on the menu item editor for items other than an xbe. *Fixed GameIcon tag should now work again, although skinners should use the <Image> tag instead. *Fixed Minor bug when installing skin. *Changed Removed Blue screen on startup *Changed Flicker Filter level set to 2 by default *Changed Soften display set to True by default *Changed 32bit is now the default color quality again *Changed Copy command changed back to older implementation *Changed Modified line drawings to use native DX Render State for line thickness, instead of drawing the lines several times. *Changed Filtered the 'A' and 'Start' button to prevent the event from bubbling up when screensave is active. *Changed System Settings and put ScreenSaver in its own section *Changed Editing the title of a menu item when it's an xbe will also edit the title of the xbe. *Changed Option to launch a title in NTSC/PAL mode is now enabled regardless of the video switching settings. *Changed Only one ftp client can transfer in boost mode at anytime. *Changed Networking internal parameters to improve data throughput. *Added "SafeBorder" Attribute to <FileManager> section of the skin with default value set to True. For new skins that want to maximize the viewport, you must set specifically add this attribute and set it to False. *Added "DrawBorder" attribute to <FileManager> section of the skin with default value set to False. *Added "Enable BGM" option to ScreenSaver section with default value set to True (useful for video screensavers). *Added Launch homebrew titles (region 0) in NTSC/PAL mode. *Added Additional check to ensure randomness when selecting music. *Added "Info" IR button maps to "Y" button so you invoke file downloading Note: This is a Quick fix release -some reported bugs may still exists. Make sure your xbe, zipped skin file, custom music...etc., doesn't contain multiple periods (".") in its file name. It seems the search file API has a problem when using search filter such as "*.mp3" or "*.zip". It won't return files like "my.cool.song.mp3". I'll take a look on this and it's probably something wrong on my part, but I don't wanna take out the filter and check for the extension myself. I'm using the standard FindFirstFile/FindNextFile API, if anyone has a tip, that would be cool. |

| **** Change Log **** Version: 0.35.0605A Build 439 Release Date: 06/07/2004 Fixed: "SkinFile" Game saves gets corrupted when switching zipped skins frequently Fixed: Screen gets corrupted when launching an xbox title when WideScreen is enabled Fixed: Going in and out of sub menus causes unnecessary pauses. Fixed: Going in and out of sub menu pauses the BGM. Fixed: Going in and out of sub menu too quickly will mess the menu structure. Fixed: Launching an Xbox title too quickly on bootup when BGM is enabled crashes the dashboard. Fixed: Virtual workspace of the text editor is now narrower so the cursor doesn't get too close to the right edge. Fxed: Sometimes, items in a batch script executes without waiting for the current item to finish its task. Fixed: X2IGR_ON/X2IGROFF was interchanged. Fixed: SITE SHUTDOWN doesn't work. Fixed: Only a few BGM gets played overtime. Fixed: The image size being reported by image viewer is wrong. Fixed: Images equal to and bigger than 1200x720 pixels doesn't load. Note: Free memory must be greater than 10MB for images to load succesfully. Changed: DelayLoad default value set to "False". Disk I/O has been optimized. Changed: Settings screen are now logically grouped, so it's easier to find what you are looking for without having to go thru a long list. Changed: ScreenSaver text can now accept a value pointing to a valid XMV/WMV file, or a valid path containing images for slideshow with 6 different transition effect. Note: Use moderate sized images (1MP and below), especially when using a resource intensive skin. Changed: Settings that requires valid path or file uses file/folder browser instead of the virtual keyboard. Changed: Free/Used memory is now in KB. Skinning engine: Added: Loading screen background now accepts the presets "GameIcon" and "GamePreview" for its value. Added: InfoText item scrolling. Add an attribute named "Scroll" to any infotext and set the value to 1 -scroll only when the content is wider than the width, 2 -always scroll the content, or 0 to disable scrolling. Note: Newsfeed are the only item that scrolls by default (Scroll="1"). Added: Menu item scrolling. Unlike Infotext, only the selected item will scroll and it will only scroll when the content is bigger than the width (equivalent to Scroll="1"). Note: For text/items to scroll, the Width attribute must be provided. Added: Smooth scrolling now uses Lerp for calculating the next position for smoother animation. Settings -Video: Added: Support for HDTV modes (1080i, 720p, 480p). Note: These settings must also be enabled from MS dash since this deals with EEPROM. Added: Soften display option. Added: Flicker Filter level. Set this option to 2 to minimize flickering, while maintaining sharpness on 480i. Added: Option to limit the refresh rate to 60Hz. Note: 1080i is always limited at 60Hz. Added: Switchable color display quality (16 bit/32 bit). Note: Using 16 bit color on 1080i mode will improve the video performance. Added: Screen calibration with individual settings for each screen mode. Added: Safe boot mode. Press and hold "Back" button to ignore video settings and force the dash to boot at 480i. Holding the back button will also ignore the calibration settings. Settings - Time/Network/FTP/HTTP: Added: SNTP server port. Added: HTTP protocol for time synchronization. Added: Time will default to the last time you launched an Xbox title when the clock becomes invalid. Added: Xbox Auto-detect. Right now, only Qwix/AvaLaunch uses this feature and is disabled by default. Note: Auto-detect send the username/password pair in clear text. Added: Minimum and maximum port for passive transfer, so those behind a firewall can configure the FTP server to use a limited range of port for better compatibility. Minimum port number is 1024. Added: Avalaunch's Boost mode technology. Added: Configurable SYST(em) name so the current release of Qwix will work with it. To make Qwix work with UnleashX, provide the same response to SYST as AvaLaunch's. Note: This is only necessary until Devenic releases a new version that properly detects boost mode compatibility. Added: HTTP proxy server and port configuration. Settings - Music/BGM: Added: MP3 playback with ID3 V1.1 support. Can read Album/singer/song title info. Added: Folder name will be use for Soundtrack name. Settings - File operation: Added: Auto-rename invalid/long filename for both FTP server and file explorer. Off by default. Added: Xbe Auto-Patch enable/disable settings. Added: Skip on error settings, instead of aborting outright. Off by default. Added: Default destination folder for backing up xbe title. Added: Option to uninstall xbox title found on the HD, accessible from the context menu. Settings - Font: Added: Configurable font scaling with individual settings for each screen mode. Added: Configurable font Scrolling speed. Default is 20ms. Settings - Autorun: Added: You can use the gamepad buttons to launch applications during bootup, or the IR button anytime while in the menu after the dash has completely booted. You can map different Xbes to A, B, X, Y, Start, White and Black, while you can use 0~9 on the IR remote control. Others: Added: Unrar can now handle RARv3.0+ with multi-volume/spanned archive capability. Thanks to grebulon for providing the code, making this possible. Note: Using the dash to unrar huge archive may not be a good idea. Added: "UnRar" to the list of action commands. Unzip/UnRar usage can be interchanged. Added: Top 10 most recent launched titles. Press "X" while in the menu, or bring up the context menu to display the list. Added: "Delete Game" option to the context menu and a corresponding settings to turn this Off/On. This is turned Off by default. Aded: Launch in NTSC/PAL option to the context menu. Automatic Video mode switching should be enabled for this option to be visible. Added: Simple Menu Item editor. Gives you to option to edit/assign icon, preview video, password, passcode, as well as the title. For xbox titles, the title change is not permanent and only items.xml/config.xml gets edited. For entries found in items.xml, title may revert back to the embedded title when he timestamp don't match that of the cache. Added: Game Saves Manager. This module list down all game saves, as well as downloadable content found in your harddisk alphabetically. It could also list down saves from your memory unit, if one is found. You can copy saves HD to MU and vice-versa. This module also allows you to delete individual item, as well as all saves for a game. To enable this feature, add the following line to your config.xml <Item Action="SavesManager">Game Saves Manager</Item> Note: As a precaution, this feature is only available when the dash is run from the HD. Added: Added online downloading and installation of game saves from www.xbox-saves.com courtesy of TeamX4. I'd like to particularly thank Keiths, Lc204 and Savvy of www.xbox-saves.com for making this possible. To enable downloading, open Game Saves Manager, highlight the game you wanted to download saves for, and hit the "Y" button. If one or more games is found, you will be presented with a list for you to choose from. Note: It will not overwrite any existing games saves on your xbox. Some games, like "Mortal Combat: DA" can only contain one game save. In order for you download a save for this type of game, you must delete the item first. Note: Downloading of game saves is subject to the rules and regulations of the site. Please support them by visiting their site. Added: Online downloading of skin from www.allxboxskins.com and www.xbox-skins.net with automatic checking and installation of zipped and rarred files. Thanks to koldfuzion and BLazeD for making this possible. Note: Downloading of skins is subject to the rules and regulations of the site. Please support them by visiting their site. Note: AXS uses thumbnail for preview, while Xbox-Skins uses a full size image. Added: Game Icon and preview video downloader with auto-request if one is not found. Start by invoking the menu item editor, select the appropriate option, then hit "Start" to bring up a context menu. Thanks to BLazeD, koldfuzion, flattspot...etc for building and maintaining the online game DB. |

The only thing I notice is the long lag when loading skins like Electric. OK, you have removed the blue screen (great) but there is a screen flash after about 4 secs and then another 3-4 secs before Electric loads. I realise this is a skin issue, but thought I would mention it.
That is why I stick to the default skin which is very fast to reload
Features=unbeatable.
Thank you again.

Any ideals?

It works the other way too select xboxskins first
Also is it just me or does the text editor need to have a little more safe border on it I'm scrolling down 4 lines off the bottem and and the edges really touch the sides of the screen. And yes I had calibrated it properly

I realize it used to be "SavesManager" in previous builds but, either way. I've tried it both ways and can't get it to work either way.

I was downloading a save game that turned out to be over 2 meg so I wanted to cancel it Dialup you see seeing no cancel button I pressed the B button hoping it would work. Sure enough it took me out to the main menu but the Save Game was still downloading with no dialog telling me. So I killed the connection with firewall and UnleashX didn't say boo
And Yes MarineWx29 it does work for me <

and don't bother to fix the bugs that have popped up in the releases before. Please keep this up. I can't wait to see what new features you have in store for us. I can already see some waiting to be done (easy Xbox-2-Xbox game and gamesave transfers anyone?). This dashboard is already loaded with great features and is rock solid. I love recommending it to people and do so every chance I get.Please allow me to paypal you unleashx you deserve it so much.

Same problem for me. When choose a menu option that takes me to a submenu, the background music hiccups. My background music is in WMA format, created by the WMA converter that comes with the Windows Media Player bonus pack... They have played fine (no stuttering) in the previous builds, so I think something new has came up
Other than that, no problems thusfar. I am sticking with this new build just for the fact that the blue screen is gone. I can live with the audio issue in the meantime! Thanks for the update

Yes, I've had this problem before too. The strange thing was that it used to work perfectly for me, but at some indetermined point in time it stopped doing so. It was really great when it worked though.

I have left the screensaver default of 60 seconds. After 60 seconds the screensaver comes on and the video displays correctly. Now I press a button on the controller and it goes back to the menu. So far so good. But, if I leave the xbox alone and wait another 60 seconds to let the screensaver come back up, it will, but this time the video plays at double the speed. If I repeat the process the video plays even faster and so on and so on. I have to reboot in order for the screensaver to play correctly again.
I am using a wmv file with the proper encoding for the xbox. Can anyone else confirm this problem? Is this a bug?

Actually, it is the other way round - you can safely leave the config.xml from yr previous install, but you *must* replace the default.xbe as that is the new program.
Better yet, rename it to suit your boot-up preference in yr bios and put in C:. It's worth it, best version yet!
edit: noticed yr sig, so you are running UnleashX as boot-up dash already right?
As I use 4983 also, which boots avalaunch.xbe first, I rename unleash as avalaunch.xbe, and leave Evox as evoxdash.xbe as "back-up" for trainers etc.

When I start "Complex Tools v1.60" or the "BIOS Checker v2.07" (both from the same group/person?), UnleashX will totally crash. U can't move the cursor, the music stops and u can do no InGameReset, just a power off will fix it.
I'm using the UnleashX_0_36_0620A-Version with a 1.0 Xbox, Aladin Mod and i'm booting unleash from c:/.
I know, that there was the same problem in the older versions of UnleashX (f.e. UnleashX_0_35_0605A).
When I start one of these programs with EvoX, they work fine.
Is that a known problem?
Second thing:
I've decorated all my Emulators and Programms with new Buttons (with the command <Item Action="E/emulatoren/XBoy_Advance/default.xbe" Icon="c:\preview\pre_gba.png">Game Boy Advance</Item> f.e.) in the Default Skin.
Since I've done this, Unleash will stock, when I move the cursor. When im changing the titles fast, the original "X"-Logo will appear. The preview-pictures are all 128x128 pixel and in the png-format.
(please excuse my bad english, i hope, u can understand me)

By corrupted, it means the gamesave and its sub game saves show up and work fine but the displayed icon is covered by what I can best describe as static that is similar to when a tv channel can't focus in on a tv signal and all of that snow/static covers up the image. I'll see if I can take a screen shot later when I have some time...

Also when manually skipping between tracks and soundtracks the name of the song becomes out of sync with what is actually playing. I think that is just with the mp3s though. My wmas work fine.
5) I dunno if this is to do with the dash but somehow Xpong, which I had left as using no icon and has no built in icon or makes no saves, has decided to start using the noiz2saX icon. I tried fiddling around with the Edit Item options but couldn't see a way to delete the line telling it where the icon was for Xpong. Would I have to edit the Items.xml manually perhaps?
Anyway, Thank you UX for an otherwise AWESOME dash!

In skinning I can't get text to right align any closer than say 30 pixels from the right edge. I'm guess UnleashX assumes for TV overscan and wont place it any further over even though we have the new screen calibration now

Oh and maybe get some GUI standard happening by adding a press Y to download button to the Game Icon/Preview file searching dialog instead of the start context menu

I'm glad i read this before posting a new topic, i get the same exact thing i thought i was putting in the coordinates wrong, i really hope this gets fixed in the next release, i have a skin that i'm waiting to re-release that needs to have text aligned to the very right of the screen

| 1) What do you mean the icons are corrupted? Doesn't it show up properly? The same error will if you try to download a save game and it's already existing. |
The corrupted icons look like this
| QUOTE |
| 3) It does apply it properly. You just have to configure it for all possible settings. The dash keeps its settings for each mode. I bet you were playing a game and you used the auto-video mode switching. If you configured your screen for NTSC, then, you have to configure it also for PAL (and 480p, 720p, 1080i if you use those). |
You were 100% right on this one, I was playing an NTSC game an a PAL box. I configured it and it's fine now
Hope that's useful! The savegame manager locked up my box this morning again BTW. Keep up the awesome work!

Rest assured, every free time I get is going into the dash. I've also been playing with the FTP server code and tried a few different things. You should see some improvement on the speed for the next release.
Here's what has been fixed so far (untested by beta testers yet and haven't even done a release)
nasty flicker with scrolling text
Default destination when backing up
Lock-ups when loading titles and the network stack hasn't finished initializing first -requires further testing
text editor borders on PAL
music skipping (will work on this some more)
music randomness
a few more, I already forgot -don't have the list ATM.
Also, I hope I fixed the problem with the corrupted games, as well as, the dash locking up when going to emu/apps folder -requires further testing as this never happened to me. I'm also planning to change the MP3 decoder, but let's see -kinda mid to low priority at the moment.
I'll also work on the live update feature. I'm planning to do releases more often and will probably make stable beta builds available for updates, but only when the dash is running as an app so as not to mess the default dash. You could retain the official release as the default dash and run the beta build as an app. Then, it's up to you if you want to make it the default, after testing of course.

| I'm not really sure if this is the problem that people are having with the emu/apps folder, but I'll give you my experience and fix and hope it help a few of you out there.. Problem: 1) Load up UnleashX (Any skin that displays those thumnails for the games/apps) 2) go to the games menu 3) Freeze (most of the times) This freezing started happening when I added FBAX to the games folder on my HDD.. After doing some minor testing, and using different skins, I came to the conclusion that it wasn't handeling the loading of that thumbnail, and that the thumbnail is probably corrupt, or something to that nature. ftp'ing to the xbox, I did some digging, found out where the thumbnail was stored (E:/udata/######/titleimage.xbx) - (###### being those funky folders for all the apps) What I did was I copied the titleimage.xbx from a different folder (ie the one for dvdx2) and pasted it into the folder of said "corrupt" titleimage.xbx (thereby over writiting it). After doing that, I launched UnleashX up again, went to the games menu, and no more crashing. (mind you my FBAX thumbnail showed the dvdx2 thumnail.. but that's ok.) reason for ftp'ing to the xbox even though in UnleashX you have the option to point to the thumnail file of choice, is because it was not an option to do it in UnleashX as selecting the program in the list would freeze up the xbox. So don't know if that help / effects anyone.. but hopefully it does, cause it was a pain... but.. I didn't want to switch to a different dash! |
Thanks man ! You´ve just solved my apps freeze problem !

IF u put a passcode on a menu item, lets say evox, and then u select, it prompts u fpr the passcode, and u enter it correctly. great no prob. but then say u shutdown and later turn on the xbox, if u go the the recent list (hit X) it lets u select that passcoded item and launches it w/o askin for the passcode

when i enter a passcoded submenu the first time after a bootup, it correctly asks
for the passcode, however, if i've entered it correctly once, then leave the submenu, then try to re-enter it again, it doesn't ask for the passcode anymore,
but just allows me in.
It doesn't happen for passwords, if i set a password on it instead of a passcode,
it works correctly.
Can anyone confirm this / Can this get fixed in the next release?

Most mp3's wont play or get detected in unleash as BGMat all.
1 reason i found is that if the mp3 has ID3 tags in both versions (there are 2 versions if ID3) it wont play.
2 it seems that if you have too many spaces in the file names, they wont play either.
I removed ALL ID3 tags (and spaces and other charactors) from 5 mp3 files as a test and still only 2 played. Change of mp3 decoder might fix the job. Same goes for XMBC. It will only read version 1 ID3 tagged mp3s
As for the "." in the file names of mp3's and searching/random, Use a "length" statement to only look for the last 3 or 4 charactors of the filenames... "mp3" or ".mp3" and check for a match to a search.
Also.. the bug fix for launching a application before the BGM starts does still exist but it only happens with XBMC for me.
Scrolling down too far and fast when in the list for downloading skins, some times hides the selection bar and does not reapear yet the list still scrolls on the screen and you cant see what your selecting unless you exit and re-enter download manager. this happens even if you have perview turned on or off.
But thats about it.....once again ...excellent job and love it!!!!!!

but to answer your question. yes it can rip from dvd to hdd and no it cant play movies like XBMC.

Do you have the same problem on yours?
Also, while I understand that not everyone can afford a modchip when they want it, but try to stay clear of TSOP.
Hang out an save or wait untill a chip drop in price and then mod ya box.
You have MAJOR advantages over TSOP when using a chip.

EDIT: I do have a problem though. When I first installed UnleashX, FTP worked great. But right now it seems Internet Explorer (I know, I know, but I'm lazy and I like the drag and drop) can't FTP in; it hangs as if it can't find it. If I open EvolutionX, IE can find it again immediately. Go back to UnleashX, IE stops working. I assumed the FTP just wasn't working, but the wierd thing is, Fetch (the FTP client I have on my Mac) works fine with UnleashX. And I seem to recall that IE used to work, too, so I'm baffled by this one.

For some reason the objects you throw out onto the skin gets displaced by approx. 30 pixels to the right. I know i've brought this up before when betatesting UXA and it was concluded that the problem lies with UX and not UXA since according to the background image the top & left position is accurate. However i haven't had this problem with Inertias skins but then they are not natively 720x480 as the skin backgrounds i have been working with are. My guess is that it has something to do with safeborders or some faulty rezising. Not sure if this ever got to your attention or not but i posted it just in case.
Cheers and thanks for a great dashboard!

The problem is that with this console i can't do the reset with the pad, neither with the LT + RT + Start + Back, or LT + RT + Back + Black.
Well in the dashboard this works, but in another application like the XBMC or a game, it don't work.

I think you were using the IGR built into the dashboard EvoX. If you are using UDE you will need to use a bios that has IGR in it. UnleashX does and will not have its own IGR built in because this is more a function of the bios. Both the X2 BFM bioses and the new EvoX m8 bios (m8 bios only included in the Metoo Bios Loader Package) have their own IGR. You can find these bioses in the usual place.
I hope that helps.

I have a 1.1 xbox in PAL mode, and some NTSC game. UnleashX identifies the game as NTSC and STILL launches it in PAL mode. I can tell because the widescreen doesnt swap automatically and the sound stutters.
It all works fine if I use the enigmah video mode switcher, but this can kill my eeprom after some time..
What could I be doing wrong?
I have searched and tbh "pal/ntsc/video mode switching" are very common keywords and hard to pinpoint an exact answer.
Any help/suggestions appreciated
example games:
baldurs gate2, bloodray2, the bards tale
all being run from hard disk
thanks, a noob

I have tested several games from NTSC to PAL to Multi Region now, and if the video mode in the EEPROM is set to PAL, no amount of forcing anything in UnleashX makes the
NTSC games work in NTSC mode. EXCEPT where the NTSC games like Burnout3 seem to figure things out on their own. Tested with EvolutionX and UnleashX as dashboards....
Is this a known issue? Is there a possible fix? Or is it simply up to the actual game?
Post by: new2moddin on November 03, 2004, 06:55:00 AM
i've tried changing the region in the items.xml, toggling autoswitch and the different regions......
and my eeprom is always in PAL mode.
can only play NTSC games properly under EvoX which is a real pain, as it used to autoswitch no problems. Forcing a pal game into NTSC used to work as well.
now it's as though the feature is totally dead.
i was beginning to suspect my Xenium's XOS, but considering you don't have xenium and are having the same problem. I'm totally lost.
If you happen to stumble across a fix for it..... please PM me or something.
