damn man, its really easy, all u need is thc dashboard from #xboxdash on efnet, these guys make a wizard kinda like you have in windows to set it up, all u do is upload thcdash.xbe and the folder with all the xip's onto you harddrive, and configure your bios so it boots off thcdash.xbe first, OR you can rename it to evoxdash.xbe and rename ur evox or w/e dash you have running to the second dash on your bios list. Its not really editing anymore, its a standalone dash, different from m$, but yet very similar...

So you still have all your original m$ stuff when you turn your chip off or boot to xboxdash.xbe, this way you can still get live and all that m$ shit. Its like having 2 m$ dashes (sort of).

enjoy, hope you can get things running

If you check the ftp that you download it from you'll find a patch for the font exploit. Basically you have to make another copy of the original font files with the extension fnt. and than replace the original xbe for the dash with the font packed version.
It works awesome, way stable and way fast!

...do you still suffer from Clock Loops or is this not a problem since you are booting into a relatively similar dashboard?
Title: Amazing Dashboard L@@k
Post by: Chicken Scratch Boy on January 19, 2004, 06:17:00 PM
nope you will always have the clock loop with ANY font exploit (so far) it just gets dumbed down a whole lot in recent font releases

That wouldnt work I dont think, MXM and this dash are tottaly different in terms of the way Morden has made MXM load..

I assumed running it from the Apps menu would work, but:

It seems you cannot, I belive you need the hacked fonts or to sign it by the looks of it?

I just tried this on a extra hard drive I had and can't quit get it to work. This is what I did.

Downloaded:
tHc_Dash_v1B.10027100.rar and Font_Softmodded_Dash_Fix-tHc.rar

ftp'ed all the files from tHc_Dash_v1B.10027100.rar to my C: partition and replaced the .xbe file from that with tHcDash_v1B-Font.xbe file from Font_Softmodded_Dash_Fix-tHc.rar I then renamed bert and erine to bert.fnt and ernie.fnt I also renamed tHcDash_v1B-Font.xbe to evoxdash.xbe and renamed my original evoxdash to evoxdash2.xbe

I rebooted and I see the PBL image and then It loads up a Blue background with what looks like cob webs but just freeze's there.

Anyone know what went wrong? Glad I used my extra HDD, actually have a few extra HDD's

So this dash is just a replacement for the original M$ dash and not a replacement for the evox dash? In other words I can't run this dash without going to the evox dash first?
Title: Amazing Dashboard L@@k
Post by: ybothers on January 20, 2004, 05:07:00 PM
biggrin.gif, no need to go to evox but just in case if you still want to use Evox as your default startup dashboard...

if you want to use this as your default dashboard, for font user, just rename the evox default.xbe to something else and rename the tHcDash_v1O.xbe to default.xbe, that will make it your startup dashboard everytime you boot up your xbox... anyways, always rememeber to font sign it biggrin.gif

ok so far any dashboard mod i've tried does NOT work with any font exploit
pbl, any bios
exploit, from bigfonts to bert and ernie none of them work

i can link back to original dash FINE
if i ever modify ANYTHING even if i resign using winxip and then even resign with xbedump it still either gives me a blackscreen or it gives me error 21

i have yet to see evidence of a modded dash running on softmods...
warbeast claimed he had one and he was suppose to send me his files yet he never did (i think it was warbeast)

Messed around with this tonight.

Set it up in MXM menu and booted it from there.

Got it working great with the Audio hack.

Then with fonts it didnt work. But I got the "hacked" xbe that works if you re-name your fonts smile.gif this booted but as soon as I select "Settings" or try the set up again, it Error 21s??

This is with the MA fonts sad.gif

Tried a few other things too like running from C...

Any ideas anyone?

I didnt sign the xbe with -font as I am using PBL..

Post by: digisatman on April 01, 2004, 09:33:00 PM
lol,

still active!

i tried with audio hack and it worked easily, but the only thing is that it doesnt have ftp support.

dunno about with fonts, should be easier as was made for font exploit/mods.

many thanks

you need the font softmod fix its on there irc site.

I have that, like I said, it works ok until you select "settings"

What version of the fonts was it designed for?

thats wierd i have it as the default with your package its on f/ works perfect got it from there new installer package.

Wha  mad.gif  Bummer sad.gif

even with the fonts active you are able to use it?

So your fonts folder should have:

- Xbox.bak & Xbox Boox.bak
- Bert.xtf & Ernie.xtf
- Xbox.ftn & Xbox Boox.ftn

This only works for me at the start of the set up, I belive that the settings menu tries to access the old fonts and that is how it fails sad.gif I am attempting to HEX edit the file some more to see if I can get rid of all XTF instances.

Also, if I do work it out, it would be better to have them use .bak as we wouldnt need 6 font files in our Fonts folder  jester.gif

Feedback to me man! Really wanna see this workin on my box...

mkjones u should put this dash in ur package or release a few with this being one of them

Would love to! But it would be getting quite big! The tHc dash is 7mb compressed!

Also, it would STILL have to boot MXM at some point so you could switch the fonts on or off wink.gif so really MXM has to be the default dash, but there are ways to make MXM boot another dash after it has loaded, Morden showed me some code to do this with XBMP a while ago, so theres always that option...

Anyhow, the problem as stupid, I had upgraded the files in the package but uploaded the old ones for use with the font version  rolleyes.gif  felt like a right fool  jester.gif

Sorted it now by removing the folder from C and runing the font version smile.gif worked!

Hi all,

Seems this is going to be a never ending post....

The new versions of THC are amazing,  FTP support is not really a nescesity anymore as you can set up a key combo to load up ftp only evox which loads up LIGHTHING FAST.  check on xboxdash.net.

This is what we need,

1.  A ftp package with EVERYTHING SET UP, the dash should run from E:/F: partion.  The ftp package should have either just the stable release of audio exploit or font/audio combo all set up.  With menus to run mxm and evox direct from THC quickly somehow....


This is what we need..........so................lets........get.........to...............work.......some1..........pleas!

Many thanks

I was gonna do this, or something like it, all the dashes and some decent apps, but even zipped up its a massive download. I didnt see much appeal so went for the memory card installer..
