That is not an Evox problem..
When applications launch Evox they will map the root folder of Evox to d:
That is why you see the c: drive contents !!

| I recently installed the M7 bios and the newest version of the dashboard. I thought everything was fine but found that when I went to play my games I made in Craxtion using MenuX for the multigame disc that it no longer played the games at all. When I put in a disc it comes up to the MenuX menu but when I select a game to play, it freezes on the Loading screen. I thought it might be the bios because of the media patcher but decided to try replacing the dash with the previous one first. When I did this, the game worked without any issue. I think this is a bug in the dashboard. Thanks for checking into this. |
I had the exact same problem.... turned IGR off in evo-x and this fixed the problem... still switched back to 3752 though, its my favorite
I have a V 1.0 box with X2 4976.02 Orange and a matrix as my chip.

As far as noticed issues, IGR, which as been discussed countless times, fails from within a harddrive game, copied game or media player, but I have not seen the same issue as much, if at all, yet, with retail disc.
1 - launch system select Games from menu
2- fire off default.xbe to play a hdd game, lets say WWF Raw 2 or Extreme Volleyball.
3- with WWF Raw 2, if I L+R+Back+Start > black screen limbo state.
4 - with Extreme Volleyball, same IGR sequence as above, music will go into fast sample loop and lock. Both can recover from Eject which is good.
Second scenario is Media Player
1 - launch media player and play a mp3 first, then navigate to your pictures and run a slide show, if you use IGR, it will lock Media Player, but if you exit out from the menu then no problems.
Final issue is with Games, homebrew for example with the exception of Invaders X2 I think it was, but for the others, will crash if IGR out.
Now, I know you all mentioned that IGR has issues and requested to just turn them off and let the x2 bios take over, but is it possible to have the dash check on load up if X2 igr is on, then to disable or ignore all igr = yes statements in the ini?
For more serious bugs, I am not sure what I should be testing, I mean, from an average users perspective the product is solid and does as anticipated, easy to blame bios or home brew titles or even xiso bug issues than the dashboard. If you guys have a bug list, can you share, I am sure some of us have the resources to test out a few things to rule them out.
dvd2xbox - bugs of their own, cannot blame dashboard for the issues there.
media player - has issues of it's own, wish it was integrated into the dash, would be really sweet to have an integrated dashboard act as an independant OS. (just a thought)
Do you have a current bug list you could share?

You can run Xbox Media Player as your dash. If you are refering to more 'media' in the dash, I can tell you that none of the following is planned:
backgroud music
displaying the game icon (or preview video)
If you want those features, check out Avalaunch or MxM
Evox is by nature, a simple, easy to configure, easy to use dash.
As for IGR in hombrew apps/games - many of them have a "Return to Dashboard" feature. Filemanagers, Emus, XBMP, all have this... USE IT instead of IGR
If you have issues with IGR in any games (both homebrew and retail), make sure you are returning to the main menu of the game before you try to IGR out.

When trying to ftp a queue of files from 1 xbox to the other it will transfer the very first file or folder and then say transfer complete leaving the rest of the queue untouched. Tried reverting back to 3752 on just 1 box at a time but no joy. Reverted both box's back to 3752 and xtoolbox works fine again.
Also when going into folders it would seem to bring up nothing and you would need to press A on the folder several times to bring up the contents.

That isnt a problem with evox, read the manual for xbmp on howto upgrade and delete the system.bin file that xbmp uses.

| Is anyone having problems running M7 with older versions of Evox dash? Just trying to isolate any M7 related issues if they exist. |
This is a bios question.
This a forum for the Evox Dashboard.
This is a topic for *reporting bugs*
I think you get the picture

The problem is with the FTPd, which is has already been addressed as not working properly. It will be fixed in the next release.

I was having a lot of problems with dvd2xbox not working properly, and I just discovered that if I boot into EvoX without my LAN cable plugged in, then dvd2xbox works fine. No matter what changes I made to the dvd2xbox config, it just wouldn't work if I launched it from EvoX with the LAN cable plugged in.
I then tried using Avalaunch as my dashboard, and running dvd2xbox from there. It works without a problem, with or without the LAN cable plugged in.

| Hi, i have a XBOX 1.1 with a X-B.I.T. installed with bios 4979 When i played a copied dvd of MOH Rising Sun without the '3921 evolution x' yet installed everything was ok, nice sparklink graphics. When i installed a new HD with '3921 evolution x' and played with the same dvd the graphics were full of artifacts. I disabled all 3 IGR settings. It looks like a bug in 3921 evolution x !? |
Put the game in and reboot the xbox. The game will then load before evox ever does, excluding evox from the process. Please post your findings.

| Auto Region seem doesn't work when i turn off IGR |
Yes, because of the way the IGR code is written, it is the 'stepping stool' for all TSR and patching code, the next release should alleviate this problem, as well as having 3 instances of IGR in your evox.ini reduced to just 1 to worry about.

What works on other xbox's doesnt matter much, there is a good chance that you are missing the language file on your xbox
Try with the previous build of evox and see if the problem still exists. You can also try another dash completely to rule evox out of the problem.| QUOTE |
| lets face itguys the new evox is junk , my xbox works better when i reinstallrd old evox ,lets putthe new one in trash and stick with one we had good luck with,. |
Then please dont use it, no one is forcing to use the latest version, or evox at all.
Please remember that unlike any of the other dash's, the evox devs do NOT post on these forums, I point some threads out to them now and then for them to look at it, but its not a regular thing. MOST of the things known about this dash have been found out through trial and error, not through any docs provided from the devs. At the time of its first release, the evox dash was HUGE in the scene, it was the only homebrew dashboard that could flash your modchip or format your hard drive until just a month or 2 ago. The scene is 'maturing' in a way, and you cant expect everyone to change with it. The evox devs like the way their software works, and they are still working on it. Some like the same 'ole simple evox dash, others have moved on to other dash's. Its not a competition, and shouldnt be seen as such. Instead of crying about how things dont work the way you like it, or how evox doesnt such and such feature, spend some time and TRY the other dashboards. Use what you like, dont use what you dont like, so sense crying about something you cant change.
Of course, if you have a problem, by all means post, and myself as well as others will try to work it out with your, but dont expect someone to come along with all the answers, cause its not happening.
And just to clear something up since I have begun to get get an influx of PM's asking, I am NOT an Evox dev. I dont have the source code to evox, so I can't possibly give it to you. I 'lead' this forum simply because this is the dash I use, and I am knowledgeable of its features. By the same token, since I just get as many PM's on this note... I am NOT a member of Team Xecuter. The only places I am 'staff' at in the 'xbox world' is xbox-scene.com and xbins.org. That is it. I dont make dime from anyone, so please stop with the garbage about fanboys and which 'side' I am on.
