Hey, I'm still pretty new to all of this. My problem is I can't use the XBox DVD remote with DVD-X. I have to use the controller. Which was way cool back when I didn't have the remote, but now that I do. I'd really like to use it with DVD-X. I just can't seems to find the config file that needs to be modified.

DVD-X2 does not work with the remote.....

[Novitas]

Well, I guess that answers that question. Thanks.

[staticFLINT]

:lol: simple.

Great, I was having the same problem, now I feel enlightened Thanks.

A little frustrating though, so I can use the dvd remote for everything else except the dvd player

Is there any other multiregion player around?

I also seemed to remember seeing a thread somewhere a while back discussing how to change the region value in the actual dvd remote sensor - or was this a pipe dream - anyone know anything?

Any ideas if DVD-X2 is likely to be able to use the remote sometime soon?

*Multiregion DVD with remote*
*Tested and working on PAL xbox with ONLY  PAL dongle*

*whats tested:
Plays region 1 DVD dvd`s,on my PAL xbox, the PAL dongle works as normal, no need for 2 types of dongles*

Ok, this is what ive done. (
(on HD prepared with slayer auto-installer)

STEP#1:

ok, download dvd-x 1.0   (dont know if i can post the link to it here)
and store the folder on youre XBOX
example: /F:/Apps/dvdx1.0

Open youre evox.ini     and find:
      }
   Item "Xbox Media Player - XBMP","c\:evoxdash.xbe"
         Item "XboX Gentoo LINUX - Self Add-On","e\:gentooxx.xbe"
   Item "Power OFF Xbox",@10
   Section "System Management"
   {

Change it to:
       }
   Item "Xbox Media Player - XBMP","c:\evoxdash.xbe"
   Item "DVD-X 1.0","F:\Apps\dvdx1.0\default.xbe"
         Item "XboX Gentoo LINUX - Self Add-On","e\:gentooxx.xbe"
   Item "Power OFF Xbox",@10
   Section "System Management"
   {


STEP#2:

(if you have xbox version 1.0 you can skip this)
In xbox versions 1.1 with a m$ dash  kernel 4817, you have to change your m$ dash to a xbox 1.0 version.

Get hold of dash "4034" (all 3 files:default.xip,msxboxdash.xbe,memory2.xip)
And store it on your PC

(I found this dash in slayers auto-installer 2.0, i havent looked in auto-installer 2.1 yet)

Ok, youve got the dash. Now FTP into xbox and c: ,  then rename these 3 files in c:

from:
default.xip
msxboxdash.xbe
memory2.xip
to:
default.xip.ORIGINAL-XBOX_DASH
msxboxdash.xbe.ORIGINAL-XBOX_DASH
memory2.xip.ORIGINAL-XBOX_DASH

After this, find the  4034 folder on your pc, FTP the 3 files to xbox partition  c:


STEP #3
Reboot xbox, and in evox menu you will find "DVD-X 1.0".
Select it, and DVD-X will patch your installed 4034 dash.

(If this line is in a different colour, and your not able to "click" on it, check evox.ini and make sure :
Item "DVD-X 1.0","F:\APPS\DVDX1.0\DEFAULT.XBE" point to the right location where you stored the "dvdx1.0" folder on the xbox. )

you only need to do this once.
if it patches correctly, it will say so. Else you get the  message that it cant be patched. Then make sure you are using the 4034 dash, the only one i could patch.
you can do this by going to m$ dash from evox menu, then go to settings,system info. Look for 4034 at the bottom of the scrolling text.


end note:
make sure evox.ini points to    MSDashBoard   = "c\:msxboxdash.xbe"

Doing things this way you can easily recover if you do something wrong.

Thanks very much for that No.7, just got to find the DVDX1 to try it out.
Updated the 4034 dash, and just for fun tried dvdx-2, but I suppose if that was going to work u would have said so in the 1st place.

[georgc]

whats the difference between DVDX1 and X2?

no, dvd-x 2.0 wont work.

since the post, ive tried many dvd in region 1 and region 4, and they all work with the controller perfectly.

As many, i thought i had to have different dongles to make it work, but that info was false.

And i dont get why they have dvd-x dongle free, who in their right mind would watch a dvd using the xbox controller?

[itsmeOhyeah]

Did the business, all worked absolutely great.

I agree 100%, who needs DVDX-2 when the MSdash DVD player is great.

I myself have sucessfully tested R1,R2 &R0 titles all with great results.

The only other thing I changed was to switch into NTSC mode, in PAL mode I was experiencing frame skips?? But all works well now.

Thanks for all your help No.7, maybee someone can shed light on the reasons for using DVDX-2

[RinGz]

well, i have a friend who uses dvd-x because he doesn't have a dongle and a remote.  You can't play DVDs without them, so this was the only solution short of buying a remote (and he's cheap, so that wasn't really ever an option...heh)
