mad.gif , i want to have 2 scripts in my unleashx dashes (ude2, and ma hack) that will

1. move all non normal xbox files (i use ude2) into a savegame dir on E (i still have a stock HDD) and copy the original xboxdash back to c and rename the fonts dir from f0nts to fonts and the one that was called fonts that had bert and ernie in it into f0nts.

2. and another on the unleashx dash that i boot from the MA hack to restore UDE2(basically just reverse the processes listed above). is this possible in UX? and if it is, can some one point me to a good tut or tell me how?

thx

You could write a python script in XBMC and use that as a dash.

This is most certainly possible with UnleashX
Also with MXM and Evolution-X (Maybe Avalaunch as well)

I am not going to write this for you though.
For several reasons:

 - I do not like this: "hey cmon sum1 please anser!! i need help here!  :angry: "
Quite frankly I don't care wether or not you need help. You are not special to me even though you seem to think so.
 - It's very easy. All you need is a couple of copy commands to move the files.
 - It has been done before. You can look into those scripts and see how it has been done.
 - The script will need to apply to your setup and needs.

I will give you a hint though: read the encluded readme-files to find out how to write a config.xml suited for your needs and browse this forum.

@openwindow:
As I said this is very much possible and very easy in unleashX as well as other dashes.
A python-script would work also but would be way too much unnecessary hassle.

 Thanks for the info Rolf. I'll have to look in to this, as it sounds quite cool. Don't blame ya for holding off on the answer.

Cheers.

Unleash X uses batch scripts such as these at this thread http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=193803

There are more scripts laying around but thats an actuall collection of some that were made by the UnleashX community.

   <Item Action="MessageBox" Arg1="OK">!!WARNING!! Going on Xbox Live after installing this mod
 without running the included script 'Xbox Live Mode'

 Also, DONT RE-install this mod without UN-installing it first.
 Doing so will replace your original Xbox dashboard,
 and you will never be able to go on Xbox Live again
 without modifying your xbox even further.
 If you dont want to continue, press the power button on your Xbox RIGHT NOW.
 If you want to continue, press the 'A' button.</Item>

 you must either delete them, move them into a savegame dir in E,
 or move them into the F or G drive(if you upgraded your harddrive)
