Ms dash fucked in the ass by this, i did this and my msxbox dash won't load... ive got it backed up and even after replacingt the origional msdash (un hex edited) it still just resets the console when trying to load msdahs from Evox, i dont want to have to replace the contents of my harddrive with the stuff from a backup from ages ago... Any ideas what part of the msdash this might have fucked? P.S i have a pal xbox running ntsc for hdtv etc PLEASE help no mp3 ripping and no save managment sound shit to me.... |
Well, you only hex edit the xboxdash.xbe file. It should just be this file. Maybe there is something different about a Pal xbox once the settings have been changed. Not sure what it could be but you could just restore the original C: backup you have. It won't affect anything else or your saves - just delete everything besides your evox files or whatever other dash you use if you have them on C:.
AHH: you know what? Did you make 2 dashes? Once the original is edited it can only be run under the modchip. The regular bios won't load it since it is no longer considered signed code. I have xboxdash.xbe and pxboxdash.xbe files. I link pxboxdash from Evox. Maybe this works into your problem somehow.
I backed up my xbox's "C:" drive when i first installed evox dash, just incase (if it get knackered no-one is gonna give u it eh) and i edited the dash called "msdash.xbe" (called that for evovx) so i still have my backed up c drive, it wont affect my saves eh? ill just put that back on then. Does this hex edit actually work with PAL xbox's? (its set in ntsc for use with my VD-Z3). It didnt work just replacing the origional msdash back so im guessing it changes a config file aswell..
Feedback geatly appr
Thanks for your info chris

I don't know the answer to this question. Hopefully someone here does - I would think it would work or could be made to work leaving everything else stock but that's just a hunch.
As far as your saves, you'll be fine. Just swap out the stock C: and start over. A lot of people get too excited and never back it up. Be glad you were smart and thorough the first time - blind faith in technology is a predictable ass-biter.

I'm not going to even ask on the above.
You either did something wrong while hex editing, your tv doesn't support 480p, and if it does you don't have it enabled, or you forgot to enable 480p in the ms dashboard. Make sure you have checked all these things.
You do not need to hex edit the ms dash (xboxdash.xbe) for progressive. It is independent of dvdx2. Sounds like something is amiss with how you hex edited the dvdx2 default.xbe then, if everything else is in check. I would go back and mess with the dvdx2 hex values again (try seting it back to interlace and see if it works, then try progressive again), and see if you can get it to work. Good luck.
if i hex edit the m$ dash, will i get banned if i use live service
will hexing the m$ dash ONLY allow dvd to have high def, using remote
basically i only care about making my games more clearer, will patching
ms dash allow this
or do i have to patch each game xbe
is there a list of auto pathers for the games, or do i have to do it all manually
if so, were do i find the instructions for it

| I can get 480p games to play if I turn my mod off. I of course can not see the MSdash, but the games load just fine. The TV displays 480p as the input and the picture is fantastic.

Your problem isn't with the hex editing values, because with your chip on you should be able to view games in 480p from off the hdd or dvd drive. Playing xbox 480p games has nothing to do with these hex editing values; they are only for to enable 480p ms dash/dvd playback, and dvd2x. Nothing more.

1) Well since you have to have a modchip enabled to view a hacked xboxdash.xbe, i'll let you figure it out.
2) There is an auto select hex that will do both interlace and progressive.
3) Patching the ms dash has nothing to do with xbox games. Most xbox games are already 480p, only a few are not.

Will Hex editing the MSdah get the flubber screen to come back as well? I have tried to hook my xbox to my HDtv and now I do not get the flubber screen and I can not get into the MSdash or watch DVDs at all. Avalaunch eventually will load and it seems to still work fine. Any one know what I can do about this? |
98% chance that your TV's component inputs do not accept a 480i signal. The bios (flubber) and xboxdash/dvd player are 480i. You cannot change the bios but the purpose of the hex edit is to be able to see the dash in 480p (much clearer even for tv's that do accept 480i) and watch Dvds in 480p. You need your modchip on to view the hex edited dash so you will need to keep an unaltered xboxdash.xbe and save the edited one a pxboxdash.xbe or some such variant.

Hi all!! just a question: Is there a way to display M$ dashboard or EvoX at higher res like 720p?? Are there any software that works with 720p or higher? (ex. XBMP) should i set something somewhere ???
Tnx all and apologize my english |
No, Evox and MS dash do not support 720p or 1080i. This is a totally different resolution from 480i/p variants and it's not as simple as enabling it.

When u hex edit the .xbe for dvdx2 is it set to auto selection (where it will switch back to interlace if you don't have it hooked up using a hdtv)???
If not does anybody know how to do it that way because I hook up my xbox to alot of different tvs and I don't wanna have to keep replacing the .xbe everytime I watch dvds on a different display.
edit: Nevermind. I just made 2 seperate .xbe's and renamed them so I would know the difference between the 2 . 1 has progressive scan and the other 1 doesn't. |
To get the DVDX2 app to auto switch between progressive and non-progressive I used a patcher that edited the default.xbe file.
I compared the unpatched default.xbe file with the patched file and here are the observations:
Search for E0 10 0B F0 51 8B CF
Change to E0 10 0B F0 51 EB 71
Also search for 5E C2 18 00 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90
Change to 5E C2 18 00 80 61 28 9F 8B CF E9 84 FF FF FF
This does work for me.
Changes are in BOLD
Addition: do *not* do the 04 to 05 hex edit when using the method above.
All I can say is thank you thank you thank you!!!!
I use an xbox2vga to run the signal out to a lcd projector. Now I can throw out my dvd player. Thanks to this I can watch dvds in 480p mode on my projector. There is nothing like 8ft of love...
Is this nesasery to do if your using XBMC or is it indepent of it?
Is it me or does this edit seem to darrken the picture? I was comparing both MS dash DVD player & DVDX2 and with the edit on both the picture darkened. Interesting? Anyone possibly know why?
| QUOTE (JackOfSpeed @ Mar 23 2004, 10:36 PM) |
Silly question.
I made the changes as per the thread. No how do I *really* know the movies are playing in PScan from dvdx2? |
I assume your tv doesn't have an info button so any type of display where it tells you what type of signal you are recieving (my Mits say 480i/480p/1080i when I change devices or bring up the video info). No real way to tell otherwise although I find the MS dash to be MUCH clearer and sharper in 480p as opposed to 480i (DVD video isn't as easy to tell and I can't say I find the output impressive) - I've swapped back and forth between the dashes though and there is no mistaking the 480p vs. 480i signal on my MS dash. It is night and day.
More info in regurding to 480P vs 480i.
http://www.projector...80i_vs_480p.htm
Most look very decent and some games have people arguing over whether it's 16:9. The Xbox stretches (not squashes) them.
Noobie question:
I loves my xbox.
My current tv is for shit, but i'm trying to upgrade to a 720p front-projection unit <http://www.projector...traVision.htm>.
Reading about these mod's to enable pro-scan, my question is will that disable my unit from using xbox live in the future? Or did one of you geeks work out a fix for that, too?
I'm sure one of you will kindly redirect me if i'm in the wrong room.
Thanks for any help
Alright... Ive read all I can find about getting dvdx-2 dongle free to play in 480p.. Mod enabled, evox boots and tv is in 480p ( checked ). Go to dvdx-2 and it changes to 480i.. Did the hex edit where you just change the 04 to a 05 and I get nothing but a blank screen and an xbox that stops responding... I also tried the autodetect hex edit, and it loads up, but loads again in 480i... 480p, 720p, and `080i are enabled in xbox config, tv supports it ( as evox comes up in it, as well as my stand alone dvd player ) and the hex edit are exact, even tried a few diffrent hex editors.. Does anyone know if there is anything else I can try???
Thanks,
kickit
nevermind.. if anyone else is having the problems that I was, do the hex edit to enable auto select, but do do the hex edit involving changing the 04 to a 05.. I changed mine to 04 and did the autoselect and it came up in 480p... sweet..
i have a soft modded xbox - i wont have any issues will i?
aside from hex editor - is there any way to actually EDIT a file on the xbox - or must it always be extracted to the computer then copied over back the xbox saving over the original file?
thanks
bump
what about some hexcode for xbmc? can that do 420P -
thanks
, but xbmc does do 480p, 720p and 1080i.
oky this is going to sound stupid - what folder is the xboxdash.xbe?
I patched my dvd2x2 - works perfect - i just changed the original to backup.xbe and the new one as the default
am i safe doing that for the xboxdash? its quicker than having 2 relink everything thanks

xboxdash.xbe is in c:\
If you use evolution-x (evox) for your dashboard, I recommend you follow this procedure (this is in the hex edit tutorial for xboxdash).
FTP xboxdash.xbe from xbox to PC
On PC, rename xboxdash.xbe to pxboxdash.xbe
Hex edit pxboxdash.xbe on PC to support progressive.
FTP pxboxdash from PC to Xbox
Edit evox.ini so that the msdash= line points to pxboxdash.xbe instead of xboxdash.xbe.
This way you leave your original xboxdash.xbe untouched.
thanks - i appreciate the answer - i didnt thinkit would make a difference if i just change the orginal to backup.xbe and then send over the changed xboxdash as the original file name.
but will do!
Hey peeps;
just wondering what tool you guys use for the hex editing,
cheers.
I just did it like the instructions said and I am a total newbie all the way. It took less then 15 minutes and worked like a charm. I am glad this was here because I just got a xvga+ and was annoying I couldnt see my dash or use my dvd player anymore without getting a headache from eye strain:P
As for anyone not sure if it works or not. My monitor (and IM guessing all monitors for this matter) will not display 480I corectly. After moding the hex code I can now see both my dvd's ad my dash perfectly. I especcially like the fact I can watch my movies in high def on my monitor, looks really good on my 21" nec. (which was built in 1994)

If anyone is wondering... the REASON why you change the name of the evoxdash xbe that you edited, is so that you can BOOT YOUR XBOX WITH THE MODCHIP OFF. See, editing this file makes it no longer signed code, so normal bios won't allow it to boot. In other words, you can't get to your dash without using hacked bios, if your file named xboxdash.xbe is edited. Name your edited file to pxboxdash.xbe and copy it onto c, leaving the normal file alone.
You then open up your evox ini and edit it where it says xboxdash.xbe, to pxboxdash.xbe, so that you will boot progressive with your modchip on, and your dash will still work with your modchip off.

The NTSC version plays fine for me in 480p from off the HD.
foe-hammer wanna try and see if something will work sent you a PM
The backuo on dvd-r and the original play in 480p but still no 480p from HD,plus it will only play the backup in 480p if i boot directly from disc by turning on xbox with disc in it if i choose play from dvd rom no480p and i am noticing that certain applications that once worked fine on my monitor now will not show up at all at all in progressive.could some M$ update be screwing things up or is the programs slayer is installin not able to go progressive
Well i got it to work but the way i did it was buy taking the evox.ini file from the old slayer 2.5 installer and copying it only to my xbox.i was curious if anyone has noticed there evox.ini being rewritten or messedup by games and there updates or is the newer ini just not setn to run certain games in progressive
Any thoughts anyone

Some games cannot be edited if the pattern is not the same. Take Dead or Alive 3 as an example, Can it be patched and forced it display in progressive scan mode?
WOW this is great. Thanks

After following the instructions found here....

Everything seems to be displaying properly at 480p



MSDASH

I just noticed that the Network settings panel in the MSdash doesn't display at 480p. Is there way to fix that? Is it launching another xbe when I goto those settings.
Well i got the PAL version of the xbox (GREECE). I have the 1.1, latest evox on f restored 120GbWD with slayers 2.5FINAL.
How can i enable the 480p, any link to a forum will be nice
i do search but chaos rises (ironic)
thanks
i did the change from pal to ntsc region 4 with enigma's app, and at config magic the xbox was rated as ntsc. BUT no string to enable the 480p at the original M$ dash, do i need to do any wiring, or to have composide. I currently have s-video mod. as i said i have a 1.1 pal version. Also at the original xboxdash.xbe searched for the noted strings with a hex editor and i couldn't found them. Any clues for those 2 problems?
thanks
P.S. can anyone send me a hacked MS.xbe to test it?
does this need to be done if i already have a hdtv lcd monitor with monster cables.
does it help it any more, cause better is something i will do.
This thread rocks, prog scan rules!
Huge, huge thanks to whatever genius figured this out.
My hat is off to you and a merry christmas or whatever holiday you wish to observe.

What version of the MS Dash does the hex editing work for? What about the newer MS Dash versions, any progressive options available for them?
Has anyone tried editing the new Gueux dvd-X player - it is supposed to support the dvd remote kit and would be nice if it could do progressive scan.

Still the Xbox DVD player is chintzy, suffers from a number of issues, and is outperformed by a decent $80 dedicated unit so there's yet another reason not to bother. Still, back in the day this was worthwhile specifically for people who had displays that couldn't accept 480i over the HD and 480p inputs.
Im having an issue. I successfully made the change for msdash.xbe and default.xbe [dvdx2]. Yet, I do not see any difference in the picture. I have a 46" Sony WS. Another thing I noticed is that with my XBOX on, I can not change the settings from interlaced to Progressive Scan, yet when it is off on the same Video Input I can change it. Is it that the XBOX is automatically pushing it as ProgScan onto my TV, even though I cant change the setting?
So, just so that I understand this correctly:
If you use XBMC to watch DVDs, you do NOT need to do anything as far as hex editing or patching, correct? The movies will show in progressive scan through XBMC by default (w/ component cables)?
