What are the chances of adding new modules to the M$ dash?
Post by: Voltaic on June 17, 2003, 06:19:00 PM
Of course, I will share all my idea on the subject once I see we have enough interest. In reality, this could be only a month or tow (and maybe even less) of work. Remember that 98.5% of the code is already done and debugged (Thanks M$ and RENZ8!).
Edit: Hey!
I don't remember putting a $ in M$! For the first time I actually don't explicitly put the $ in it and it goes anyway... mah! -Volt.

but nowhere is exactly a code for going to new xbe

Apparently its in the .xbe itself. That would need to be significantly modified to launch various .xbe's from the .xap code.

You might want to pay attention to who actually *made* that program ; )
Volatic: Keep up the good work, had i known what you were doing with that proggy when i spoke to you last, i would have gave more thanks = )
I've wanted a MS Dash style xbox dashboard since the day evox came out = )
Nothing would be better than just using the dashboard itself with hacks = )
I can see it now, xbtool....except for MS Dash = )

I used the Live updated dashboard, and I renamed the variable "xbox live" in "evox dash" and pointed to the path of EvoX.
It worked, not really correctly, but hey, I could go to my evox without using IGR directly from the original dash!
Since I really suck in ASM (huh? what's that?), C++ or other shit, I couldn't help you.
It's a really nice project you're building.

I will try this hacking stuff as soon as i get my Xecuter2 chip. And i think that it would be possible to replace the gamesave manager with our own script that e.g. runs our own apps. Would it also be possible to disable the Game+DVD+AudioCD autorun(like in EvoX) and make it send a notification like "You have inserted an disk to DVD drive" and then it goes away after 3 seconds? Im not sure about it(yet) but i think that it could be done...

cos now my lil bro when he's pushing all the buttons
everything gets lostI really need to get my dashboard hacked
Voltaic have you seen for any other dashboard version? what has to be done?
Post by: srelick on June 24, 2003, 11:23:00 AM
That was something that I seriously interested in doing. I glad someone has decided to do this.
P.S. - I'm also willing to beta test whatever you think can tested prior to release to the masses. I have three Xbox's. All of which are all normal as we speak, but not for long.
I'll have PICs of the first one this time next week.

I assume you mean MS, haters of Javascript? Load default.xip into wordpad, check out the code. It may not be java, but it's interpreted and very very similar, guess it could be c#, but there's not enough code on the xbox for the .net runtimes... |
No, he's talking about the XIP utility and you telling Voltiac how he should check it out.
Kind of like telling Bill Gates he should really check out that slick new WindowsXP operating system...

I offer coding skills and testing, if anyone needs it. I suggest a chanel on EFnet if we start to take the project seriously..
Post by: srelick on June 25, 2003, 08:51:00 AM
I'll post the info in the next couple of days. It will be in the "PINNED" thread.
I'll start using that thread instead of this one.
