Thanks.

oh and grospolina, will that help any w/ the stability of audio? |
If the audio hack is causing problems with audio in games, then yes, it'll help. Basically, the new addition reinstates the original ST.DB file, which is the database that holds your soundtrack info.

oh another question grospolina, when you talk about having a XFT dash can't you hex edit it? i forgot what exactly to do, but don't you change wherever it says XTF to XFT? then just rename it to xftdash.xbe and have your evox.ini point to that? |
Yes, you can hex edit it too. Using XTF2XFTPatcher would probably be simpler though.

and when you say have a copy of the original fonts named to XFT, is that needed? i renamed to originals to .ORG. isn't that the same as just renaming them to XFT? |
It is needed if you hexed or patched xftdash.xbe and you want it to work. The XTF->XFT edit simply makes the dashboard look for *.XFT font files, instead of the hacked fonts (*.XTF). They have to exist, or else xftdash.xbe won't load.
However, keep the .ORG files too. You don't want to point the edited dash at ORG files, because you rename them whenever you switch hacks. When they've been renamed back to XTF (font hack off), then the edited dash won't work anymore. You may not notice, because the original dash (on bootup) works fine when the audio hack is enabled (except that you can't rip tracks).
In other words, if you're switching hacks, you should have TWO copies of the original fonts. Either that, or you could have TWO copies of dashboards (which would require even more rename commands).
Edit: Since you added in my lines to the first post, you should also change this:

next unzip audio_sl_audio-key.zip to a folder on your pc. on your xbox, navigate to the E:\TDATA\fffe000\music folder. there, rename the st.db file to st.org.db. copy it over to your pc in a backup folder. now copy the st.db file from the audio_sl_audio-key folder you unzipped. you are now done with the audio hack. |
