I know this idea has a lot of the ideas you mentioned, but I'd like to see all these implemented into a release. Let me know when you release yours! I'll test it!

I don't see why you would need 4979, but it would be a good idea to have both 4981.06 and 4981.67 if you don't already. Either that, or give people the option (I guess no one would actually need BOTH on one system). Also, note that they only have to be 256KB each.
Phoenix BIOS Loader 1.4.1 may not be compatible with HD/SV A/V packs, but neither are any other versions. It flickers, but it still works (AFAIK).
Maybe you should just have different packages. I don't think most people are going to need three or four dashes on their system.

| In fact downgrading to 4920 dashboard is only possible w/slayers - the files are 131mb. |
Actually, you can force downgrade with 2 key files from the 4920 dashboard: settings_panel.xip & Keyboard.xip. From there, you can load any Live 1.0 game and it will upgrade the dash to 4920.

doesnt UnleashX support Zip, why not use that?
Is there a stable Audio exploit, everytime I tried it the file kept getting corrupted so I switched back to the fonts.

Please keep the eye in the Mr. Blank's commentary, I believe it's very important to be able to downgrade the dashboard without open the XBox, remember that it's the advantage over other mod methods.
MXM is ugly why not try Unleashed or put a cool skin?
And please keep the BoxPlorer in your package
, the beauty of the Morden's pack is that people like me that don't have a PC at home or simply don't want to use a PC mod an XBox.May be if you prepare structure with the dash and a app. folder where people can put all the applications and a txt file with the info how to edit the config etcÂ… and generate a iso file for create a installer CD.
I would like me a feature for make a backup of all the original system before the installation, generating savegame and copy to the memory card for later, if you want restore the system to the original state.
And why not! hack the original M$ dash to force it to makes features like run app from a new menu, I like me a lot the original dashboard.
THX!!!

if a easy to use patcher is installed that may be a good thing to include, it would have to run before PBL though to allow you to use PBL

Mechinstaller-Phoenix 1.0
Check it out and learn what u can...
It can downgrade dashboards.
It backs up C:.
It installs the hacked Mechfonts and/or swapless, CD or stable audio exploits.
Total save-game size = < 6 megs.
P.S. Evo-X without skins = < 800k

Neat release... now, does this ALWAYS work for forcing a downgrade to 4920? How big are the mechinstaller fonts (I know bert & ernie are close to 16MB)?

Why dont you package a program ISO with the packages so the people that need the aux programs can simply burn the ISO and use the boxplorer present on the disc to copy over any programs they need?

like TSR, or just IP support? |
In general, an FTP client. Evox does an awesome job configuring settings and such for FTPing. Does MXM have the same built in features right off the bat, or do I have to download an FTP client app for it?
