Well as some of you may already know that I've started to work on the neXgen code base again so I thought I would create this topic to keep you posted of updates of whats going. I've still got real life commitments but the time is more managable now to spread between work and neXgen. I hope to keep updating this threads for you.
Again thanks to you all for your support

I've been working through finding a fixing bugs the past few nights. the skin is coming together now and looks more presentable.
As it's only me working on the code at the moment i have decided to take a similar approach to the XBMC team and go with a "Feature Freeze" so i can incorporate the functions with the skin and it makes for easy bug finding and we know where were upto. Im sure the users would like a more stable build to use than somthing just thrown together and not properly tested.
I aim to have a build ready for internal testing later tonight / tomorrow so i can get feedback on whats working and whats not. If this testing goes well i hope by the weekend to have something that the public can use and we can start collecting any probs they find and look at what they would like to see in the dashboard.

I should start getting feedback over the next couple of days and then we can take it from there. If all goes well then maybe we can have something for the public over the weekend we will just have to see how the internal testing goes.

Sorry its been a little while since i updated. I have been working on the new default skin set which was causing a few issues when you had more than 5 items on the list. That problem is now resolved and ive had chance to sort out some more user tweaking options. the RSS feed the user now has full control of and is not just fixed to xbox-scene why u wouldnt want that i dont know (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
As i have had some PM's regarding the X3LCD i will add better support into neXgen for it. Sorry it's taking me a while to get releases out but i want it stable and as bug free as possible.
thanks for your patience and support

I also found out lastnight that the dash was not actualy disableing the reset on eject and therefore it rebooted when users were opening the tray. thats been fixed and effect all the way back to the NYE build

Sp0ok can u hint us (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
Here is a quick progress report on Nexgen 2. There is no release date at this time but hopefully it won't be too long before you can all try it out.
Features:
Full xbe launching
FTP Server
FTP Client
Xecuter 3 support including X3Lcd
Xbox remote support
Autoupdate
Screenshots
Xbox hardware control (LED, Fan, etc)
Multi-mode screensaver (Including matrix effect)
HDD formatting and locking/unlocking support
Whats left to do:
Finish replacing music playback functions
A massive load of work on the skin engine (too much to go in to here really . .)
Finish HTTP server
Some sort of forced confirmation popups on specific functions, for example, when formatting harddrives or changing eeprom settings
config file loading and saving needs cleaning up
An awesome amount of testing and no doubt debugging
lots of other things I can't remember . .

Will keep you posted. thanks again
Post by: SpOoK on September 26, 2006, 01:54:00 PM
run into a small problem thats being a complete ass to get working right once this is sorted alot of other features of the dash will work as they should. This little annoyance is starting to realy do my head in. I have booked the week off work next week so will put a chunck of time into the project.
Post by: SpOoK on October 25, 2006, 04:59:00 PM
As soon as i can find the login details to the CVS i'll update all changes there so anyone else will be able to have a look through the code or help us out.

Well its been busy for me at work and just formatting my main PC i still need to reload vs .NET and other tools to continue development with neXgen. I am working on the main code when i get chance but it's been difficult since we got rid of some staff at work and are not getting replacements until after christmas which is a complete joke!!
Looks like i will need a new TV card as well in this PC since i cant find drivers compatible with it so will have to look at getting that sorted out this weekend.
As it stands at the moment i only have one big hurdle to overcome which is getting the lock / unlock code for the HDD to work correctly as at the moment it freezes the xbox whilst it completes the task and then returns to normal working state. I have a few issues to sort in the X3LCD code and just tidy up other areas of the code. so it's not looking too bad. I do also need to finish the skinset as well hehe as without that the core of the dash is no good (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
I will try to have something for you as soon as possible.
Update:
Found drivers for TV card and it's working ok. will see what i can get done this weekend.

Really wish I could help out with the domain name, but I think I won't be able to even afford my own this year.
£14 in my bank can't afford all the domains I currently run (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif).
