The "Screen Saver" is, well, bleh. At the very least they could have stolen my MXM screen saver!! Geez, I open source and everything, and well... :::sigh:::
Not even sound or music support.
All in all a boring, unremarkable release.

Team Xecuter will most likely have debug bios support in their next release, and that means EvoX will be totally unusable...
Post by: pdexter on March 22, 2003, 02:34:00 PM
Dont get me wrong, I think it's great and all, and I enjoy following the evolution of evolution X (huh?), but I'm looking for something to something a bit different to use as my dash instead of evo and xbmp.
Screensaver's a good feature regardless of what they used for it, because I think my default evox skin is starting to burn a hole in my tv! (tidy trax lasers)

At the end of the day, it's still the most useful dash there is, and it's here, now.
Just wish they would open source it to let others improve on their work.

Anyone figured them out?

I run of dvd-rw, so it would be painful for me to try and "guess"

Yes, it is currently the most useful.... but that will change in the next two months or so.
The neXgen team hasn't been sitting idly by, AFAIK, just avoiding the hype that caused way too many expectations and rushed a very nice looking product.
It's a shame the Evo-X guys couldn't see fit to open source their stuff. I've asked them to do that for ages now, but I've faced the fact that I just had to make my own journey of discovery when it came to the mysteries of launching/handling software on the Xbox.
Post by: majik655 on March 22, 2003, 04:26:00 PM
wish they could have done that part ..
for the 2nd media check (moved flag) does it HAVE to be a bios that will fix this issue (hopefully) without needing to do physical patch or COULD a dashboard do it?
no big deal.. but one less step lol

You guys seem pretty damn ungreatful. If I asked everyone on this site what they use i reckon > 95% would say evo-x dash.
Who cares about sound and flashy colours etc. It does what it is advertised to do and it does it well.
Props to the Evo-X team for releasing another update on a very very fine product.

The IGR is WAY better, the temp feature is nice, not many new features, but some nice advancements.
Here is what i think should be added in future realeases:
-password protect
-background music
-better skining
-HDTV support (ie. 16x9, 1080i resulutions)
Props to all at evox, great product.

After playing a few games for a while (eg Madden 2003), the IGR just makes the screen go black.
mayB it's just me (running x2 4974 bios), but I liked the prev. IGR.

MAJOR FLAWS ok maybe not, but needed to get your attention.
1). IGR makes the screen go black, confirmed on many games and with both v1.0 and v1.1 xbox's.
(solution, use prev. dash version, it has the "hard" reset).
2). This next prob. happened to my friends xbox, may/may not be related to the new dash.....
- installed new dashboard onto v1.1 xb (samsung drive)
- attempted to flash cheapmod with evox-eject fix.... stopped half way
- power up/down 3x, red/green lights.
- replaced cheapmod with another working cheapmod, everything works 100%.
I don't have sockets so I can't be bothered testing if this is a dashboard problem (highly unlikely) but if anyone else has prob. no. 2 then please post!

in the readme file, it says that the items.txt will be place wherever your evoxdash.xbe is.
my evoxdash is in C so i can't confirm if this is true.

the XDK launcher FTP is having priority

Yea theres definitely room for improvement. Id love to see a nexgen looking evox.

to find the dash do a search on google, i found it in like, 5 minutes. (hint: just goto a site even if its not in english, cuz the word 'downloads' and 'evox' are pretty universal)

Why on earth are you trying to use explorer as an ftp client? its barely a usable web browser, let alone an ftp client. in this day and age where storage is dirt cheap and bandwidth is plentiful, the is NO excuse why you would use explorer over an actual working ftp client

Hey guy! I just got the dash from our mutual friend and it seems like i shouldn't even bother installing it...............bugfix?, more like bugcreate. Already have a fix for IGR with 4974 bios............guess it would be cool to know what the temp is tho . i could always shove a meat thermometer in the DVD drive
Edit: i like save manager and ability to flash so screw it.

The fact is, something dramatically changed in the new EvoX FTP server. That's all I was pointing out.
There are times when Explorer is easy and seamless. I also use CuteFTP, which has its own share of limitations/quirks/nuisances. Besides, what I use as an FTP client is up to me.

works like a charm
cute ftp told me a error when u/l a file : didn't support 3 digit ...
but everything works
the best is now with this build i can save some step to transfer files from partition f and other partition
exmple:
before 3682, if i want to move a directory from partition f:games, i had to move the directory from the xbox to the PC and then reu/l the whole thing to the new partition
with 3682, i can move a directory without transfering to the PC
that's a big +
Post by: Ill187 on March 25, 2003, 01:40:00 PM
The next evox NEEDS
1.SOUND
2.PASSWORD PROTECTION
3.A TIMER
People with little brothers get 2. & 3.
Any one who does work for themselves and especially others can only use criticism not little bitches nagging. So go ahead and nag, you know, if you don't want real progress.

to evoX team: keep it up and be innovative.....you set the standard..
to the rest of you: who cares if there's anything else....I'd rather have the real thing than a generic cola
