I am currently using MXM dash which I switched to about 2 weeks ago and haven't wanted to go back since.
Edit: I just noticed my mispelling of the word Supreme in the title, isn't that a bitch. If a mod could please change that for me, that would be great.

| I honestly believe that the only people who haven't voted for MXM are those who haven't tried it, or those that didn't spend the time to set it up a little, there really is no comparison. Sure, a feature here and there, but a feature does not a dashboard make, and Evox and Ava are permanently relegated to Application status on my box. |

I also definitely like that fact that both the MXM author and Avalaunch authors actually listen to their users suggestions.. and, it a lot of cases, actually implement them.
Way to go all of you

It's not a competition, it's about covering all different areas =)
( I mean, even if I was the only one using ava - I'd still program it with as smile )

| but why call it a dash, I think a dash is a central place from where you can launch games and apps, view all kinds of xbox status, chat, update your bios, etc. |
I use mxm as a central place from where I launch gamesa and apps, view all kinds of xbox status; if I want to chat, I use avalaunch, and updating the bios will be in a newer version of MXM, until then, I don't need it. It's got FTP, support for game and application help screens (a big plus). Seriously, it wasn't till I took a close look that I could consider MXM a dash.

Its good stuff but just requires too much extra time.
Post by: jlm5151 on June 12, 2003, 04:15:00 PM
Edit: leisenstein have you looked into the new autoconfigure options for MXM? Setting up this dash couldn't be easier. Dropping a simple file into a game directory is well worth the time it takes to see a slick little preview for each game or app.
Post by: leisenstein on June 12, 2003, 08:15:00 PM
Does it have any great features not available in the other dashboards?
Does MXM come with an easy way to flash your bios?
After I installed it I realized these dashboards just launch programs,... that it. Nothing fancy needed there.
Actually, I prefer simplicity.

But it'll most likely end up being Avalaunch

as of right now im in love with chihirox. When i look for a dash all i care about is launching stuff from it. Nothing more nothing lese. So that leaves the look and feel of things and let me tell you chihirox looks like a professional gui that belongs in a xbox or ps2 game. It really made me say WOW. If ava can top the look and feel of chihirox ill jump ship in a heart beat. but for right now all i can do is drool for the english version of chihirox. I made a post/poll in the emulation section a hundred or so words long ranting about why i chose chihirox and dont want to explain it all over again if interested go dig it up its probably a page or so back by now. I can litteraly go on and on and on about chihirox if the features hikaru are implemented are true. And if he will continue this project like i hear ill never leave chihi. Of cource unless avalaunch can amaze me gui wise. If you really want my personal opinion, i think mmx or what ever avalaunch evox chihirox and the others should merge and work on one super project to pretty much murder everybody and everything that has any connection to the xbox but that will probably never happen. Peace.

must say it looks very sleek with the video clips & Generator2 skin.. !!! My Top 6 List..
1. XBMP - For me with media files/network etc it is awesome.. luv it
2. Mxm - used with video clips & Generator2 skin (my game freinds all have/want this dash!!)
3. Evox - I only use this for flashing X2lites and hdd install
4. Nexgen - Pretty interface..
Could be good.. I hope you can change skins somehow..5. Avalaunch - Looks good, file manager is very handy interface is poor (still early alpha days!)
5. Chihirox - Looks very interesting..

I picked MXM, because it has everything you could need on a daily basis, and soon will have things you rarely need (bios flashing and shit).. It's media rich, with support for multiple media formats which include sound and video (not really multiple video or sound, but many formats for everything in general). It's just, by far the best IMO..

I wonder why he's so bitter? Did somebody piss in his cornflakes, or did his big brother set a password on BMX XXX and DOAXV Nude Patch to keep him out of those games?

so i thought as im testing new stuff out, i tried Avalaunch
and was instally impressed, i spent like a fraction of the time setting it up ..
it automaticlly found thumbs for me games and made it into a rotatiog cube ..
the GUI was VERY clear and easy to read ... the more i set it upo the more i like it
and with all the new stuff thats coming out 4 it (like the diskcheacker now) its really promising also ive not had one crash
.. not even had to go rooting for skins,thumbnails, or vid previews.
as the one it comes with is very good genric skin one that could be very live-able !
and it finds its own thumbs from the xbe !!!
so i think its mainly the first impressions that win ya over and MXM comes with lets face it compared to its main rival a crap skin, and is not user friendly on its initail set up !
Avalunch more or less works staight outer the zip .. !!
and as for xbmp.. i really have been using this a lot not sure if it realy merits as a dash ?? more playing required !
and evox well thats always got EVERYTHING, and it NEVER crashes ..
like pair of old slippers, it just WORKS !!
Mick ..

And i suppose if I wanted to I could set up media's pretty easy as well...XMX_Entry.XML files look fairly straightforward. Although I can't understand why anyone would want vids of games, ect taking up room on the HDD...I guess for some reason if you want to watch your dashboard and got "Isn't that neat" but that novelty would soon where off.......
All in all I like the look of it with certain skins as a basic launcher....
But like Avalaunch better, mainly because of the File manager, that sets it miles apart from anything else out there....
MXM is a cool launcher though if I wanted to make my Xbox look impresive with vids, ect , all user preference..and all 3 main dash,s have there audience.
(Ya I see all the typo's...lol)

Totally agree.
- Sex is also a waste of time, seen from your point of view. So is watching TV and playing your football... Hell, everything everyone does is a waste of time.
Beats me why you think developement is a waste of time - you seem to enjoy the fruits of it.

| Ms Dash will Reign supreme I mean what features does any of these other so called dashes have that can compare to what the msdash already has? Once ftp is in it and auto add which will be soon why use another? Its skinnable (all) and you can already play random songs from soundtracks (mxm) it supports wmv (mxm) Audio Visualizer (XBMP) animations for launching xbes (mxm) and very stable (evox) and i really don't feel Avalaunch at all I think it should at least be in the poll I will not vote until MsDash is an option |
Gcue is the fuckin man, and yeah, the MS dash will rule.
Here's a pic of my MS dash, f'n sweet!
Thanks go out to Iriez for this preset, Voodoo serano for his halo skin, Voltaic, Gcue and everyone else who is involved in this project.
