Title: Evox Suggestions Or Ideas!
Post by: sharky98 on January 30, 2003, 05:03:00 AM
Can we give suggestions or ideas for the next release of EvolutionX??

I would like to see two things..

1. Instead of the default 6hour auto turn off (m$dash) maybe 1, 2 or x hours before shutoff
2. If the unit is left on, maybe have the screen go dim after 5 or 10 mins.

Just a thought!

Oh and if this is in the wrong place I apologize


Thanks

the password is a exellent idea, i would like to see some sort of sound in the next release. like use the ambience that the ms dash uses, and some kind of clicking sound when selecting items

I think the menus should be in 3D.

how about 2 120gig hd's at the same time

This may be possible when using Xboxtool (BIOS modifier) The latest version allows
you to disable the DVD.  i.e. no error message if you leave out your xbox DVD  wink.gif

get s/w here . . .

dont know of anyone who has tried this.  personally DVD is allways a way

I like the shut down (or dimming) idea.. a screen saver would do the same trick ( to stop burn in )... i also love the password idea.
peace

Their not just "Dreams" these are ideas that are do-able...

Just another thought  Custom game control button mappings for those games that do not offer to many options....

For instance some games have one option for moving your character - ie left thumble only or the right thumble.. Would be nice to swap them around...

Oh a few other things while they are on the brain. (Just novelties, but would be nice) Start-up
audio (maybe wma). I know a lot of people think "How long will you stay on a menu screen?" I still
think it would be cool to have your Xbox boot up with a cool ass skin and a cool ass tune. Also,
if there was an auto skin selector so when you boot up, it's always a new skin, would kinda be cool.

HEY!!!

I love everyone of these ideas!! Though I fee that erickpro has a point about it being more a pc, but then having ICQ on my xbox whilst playing Halo or PGR, and SC would be "off da hook"
Thats would be the shit for real!!! and The other post about a burner? thats a good one as well.
My fav is the password protected one!! that would be ideal! for me stop my sister and my brotha messing with my settings!!

How about a plugin system? You could code a plugin yourself, and add 'em to the EvoX dash at your leasure. For example, someone could make a plugin that displays the time on the upper corner of the screen, or for background music/sound effects, etc. It'd be cool, considering the fact that the EvoX guys update the dash sparingly.

erickpro is right.. It is afterall just a gaming console.. I initally started this thread to see what kinds of ideas are floating around to see what was possible with Evox.. I was looking for practical ideas - Screen Saver or dimmer, Passwords, etc...

Sound or Video would be nice but not that practical, I mean the xbox/Evox would work regardless of sound or video's in the menu's..

Hey I don't want the moon, I just want the simple things...   smile.gif

That's why I suggested the plugin idea; the EvoX Team wouldn't have to code any more features by themselves, theoretically. If the userbase wants it, someone codes it, therefore giving the EvoX Team more time to implement more useful ideas, like a new feature in their next BIOS release.

Even better if we could launch apps from those mapped drives, but now I probably am dreaming

Ok thanks for clearing that up (and exposing my lack of in-depth knowledge on the subject)

So chuck FTP out the window then, but it would be nice if a straight network share of some sort (might even require software on the PC to set this up properly) to access PC drives, my main use would be for media player to acesss PC's divX, Mp3 etc, but obviously this still has the problem you mentioned of the share disappearing when XBMP loads. (could this be fixed in a BIOS?)

Oh well

i honestly dont get what you have against using media players inbuilt networking capabilities. even if evox were to work out a way to implement a persistant network connection it would most likely still need configuring, presumably along the same lines as xbmp
