Mores systems will be added in later releases.
    This is a Madmab and HCF co-production after years of work. We finally managed to port the MESS emulator to Xbox, so we finally have emulation for a lot of new systems. At the moment, we have added emulation for these ones: Bally Astrocade, Casio PV-1000, coCo 1, 2 and 3, Emerson Arcadia 2001, Epoch Game Pocket Computer, Epoch Super Cassette Vision, Fairchild Channel F, Fujitsu FM-7, Fujitsu FM77-AV, Funtech Super A'Can, Hartung Game Master, Mattel Aquarius, Mega Duck, PC-6001, PC-6601, Philips CDi, Philips VG-5000, Sharp MZ-2500, Sharp X1, Socrates Educational Video System, Sord M5, Tatung Einstein and VTech Laser 200. Mores systems will be added in later releases.
    When you launch the emulator you will see all the supported systems. Systems in green color can be usually played without keyboard, while systems in yellow color need to use a keyboard (real keyboard, or the virtual keyboard of the emulator).
    Each system has its own folder for the roms. For example, roms for the "Emerson Arcadia 2001" must be copied in the "roms/arcadia" folder. Please don't change the structure of the directories.
    There are generic controls, and specific controls for each system. Both can be configured. The most important keys are the A and WHITE buttons (they are normally used to Start a game and/or Action button), the START button (Main Menu) and the BACK button (exit/cancel). Pressing both triggers simultaneously activates the "Fast forward" (used to make load times shorter in some systems), and moving the right analog stick displays the virtual keyboard. Enjoy!
    how to run it
    The emulator works easily: simply launch the "default.xbe" and select the desired console/computer that you want to emulate. After that, you will see all the games for that system, and you can select the one that you want to play. If the emulator displays a message telling "press OK", simply move to left and right the left analog stick, and the game will begin.
    In the list of systems, you will see that some of them are green, and other systems are yellow. Yellow systems usually need a keyboard to play many games (you can use the Virtual Keyboard if you don't have a real keyboard plugged on your Xbox). Green systems should be easily controlled with a joypad.
    where to put the roms
    You must not change the directory structure, and you only need to know that there is an important folder named "roms". Inside of that folder, there is a subfolder for each system. For example, "roms/scv" is the folder for the "Super Cassette Vision", and "roms/cdimono1" is the folder for the Philips CDi. Do not change the names of these folders!
    Those subfolders inside "roms" contain both the BIOS files of the systems and the ROMS (games). So, if you have a game for the "Super Cassette Vision", you have to copy it in the "roms/scv" path (more subdirectories are not supported).
    controls
    MESS have some "Generic" controls (valid for all the systems) and also some "specific" controls for each system. You can configure them in the Main menu, but we have created good configurations for almost all the supported consoles and computers.
    In almost all the systems, you will be able to control the games with the left analog stick and with the dpad. The main buttons that you will use to start a game or for "action" are the A BUTTON or the WHITE BUTTON in almost all the supported systems, and BLACK button to select game modes.
    Anyways, the "README-SYSTEMS-DETAILED.TXT" file will have information about the way to use each system.
    Some special controls that work in almost all the systems:
    * Left analog stick and dpad: Move
    * A button: In many systems, it is Start or Action
    * WHITE button: In many systems, it is Start or Action
    * BLACK button: In many systems, it is the "Select" button
    * START button: Main menu
    * BACK button: Cancel or Exit (exit from a menu, or exit from the emulator)
    * Left and Rigth triggers simmultaneously: Fast forward (boosts the emulation; it is useful to improve the loading times!)
    * Press Left analog stick: Load State (read SAVESTATES section for more info)
    * Press Right analog stick: Save state (read SAVESTATES section for more info)
    * Move right analog stick: Opens the Virtual Keyboard (read the VIRTUAL KEYBOARD section for more info)
    * Y button: It toggles the keyboard emulation mode (usually you will not need to do this).
    * Left trigger: In systems with a keyboard, it is ENTER.
    * Right trigger: In systems with a keyboard, it is SPACE.
    savestates
    Several systems support savestates. To save your state, press the right analog stick. A window will ask you to select the desired slot: press A to confirm, or BACK to cancel.
    To load your state, press the left analog stick. A window will ask you to select the desired slot: press A to confirm, or BACK to cancel.
    virtual keyboard
    If you don't have a real keyboard, you can configure the controls and map the most used keys to the buttons of your joypad... but another alternative is using the Virtual Keyboard feature. The virtual keyboard is very useful when you only need to press a key once (for example, if a game says "press S to Start") and it is not worth it to map that key to one of the joypad buttons. The virtual keyboard is also useful to type commands (for example, to load games in the computer-based systems).
    The virtual keyboard is very basic, but I hope that it can help to play a lot of games. The original Mess didn't have a virtual keyboard, and including it has been a real challenge!
    How to launch the Virtual Keyboard? If you move the right analog stick, the emulation will be paused and the virtual keyboard will appear. You can select the key or keys that you want to press, selecting them with the A button. You can even type a text, pressing the keys one after the other! If you make a mistake, you can press on the Backspace key (or press the X button) to erase the last pressed key. When you finished entering your text, press B and the virtual keyboard will disappear. The text that you typed will be "pasted" and the emulation will go on.
    If you press START while in the Virtual Keyboard, you will get access to the Hint related to the current system (read the following section for more info).

    Known bugs:
    * The virtual keyboard don't work in a few systems: Bally Astrocade, Epoch Super Cassette Vision, or Emerson Arcadia 2001.
    * The ENTER key don't work in a few computer-based systems. But this is not a problem, because it is mapped to a button of the joypad (usually the left trigger).
    * Quotes don't work in the FM-7 and FM77-AV systems, making impossible to launch TAPE games with the Virtual Keyboard. DISKs games in these systems work though.
    launching games in difficult systems
    A lot of computer-based systems need that you type a few commands to launch a game (LOAD, RUN, CLOAD...). You can see these commands in the README-SYSTEMS-DETAILED.TXT file, but they are often difficult to memorize, so I have included a hint about this in the emulator:
    Enter the Virtual keyboard (moving the right analog stick). While in the virtual keyboard, press START and that will activate the "hint". Exit the virtual keyboard (pressing B) and the emulator will display a hint about the command that you must use in the current system. The hint will disappear in a matter of seconds, unless you launch the virtual keyboard again. If you do so, you will be able to read the hint while you type the commands.
    CDI games
    MessoXtras v0.5 supports CDi games in the "old" CHD format that was used in MESS 0.140. But if you have CHD files for MESS, they are probably in the "new" CHD format (not supported).
    To solve this problem, in this release we have included a script named "chd_revert" developed by Madmab, to convert files from the new CHD format to the old one, that is supported in MessoXtras.
    Simply copy your "new" CHD files in the same folder than the script, and launch "chd_revert.bat". The script will create CHD images in the "old" format (supported by MessoXtras) and place them in a directyory named "v140". Simply copy these generated files in the "v140" directory over to your xbox in the "roms\cdimono1" folder, and you will be able to play them.
    FAQ
    Q: Can you add more systems?
    A: Of course. Adding more systems is easy... but learning how to use them can be a long task. If you are interested in adding a new system to MessoXtras and want to help, contact HCF. We will need anyone to learn how that system works, mainly if it is a computer and it needs some commands to be typed to load the games.
    Q: Why didn't you add support to [ANY SYSTEM THAT IS ALREADY EMULATED IN XBOX]?
    A: It is really easy to add support to Atari 2600, Gameboy, Sega Master System... Madmab and I tried to do it, but we saw that the emulation in Mess is a bit worse than in the standalone emulators. So, we think that adding already supported systems will only add confusion. Anyways, we are open to add any system if the emulation in Mess has any big advantage over the standalone existing emulators (we don't have found this case yet).
    Q: The controls (for example the Start button to open the Main Menu) sometimes don't work!
    A: You have probably pressed the Y button, that toggles the keyboard emulation mode. When you do it, some of the main commands don't work. Press Y button again to go back to the main emulation mode.
    Q: How does the "Philips CDi" emulation work?
    A: Surprisingly, it runs at very good speed. At first it worked like a snail, but we did a very effective optimization and now it runs at full speed in Xbox. Some games don't work because some video modules of the CDi are not emulated, but a lot of the most famous games run very well.
    Q: How can I build valid CDi roms?
    A: MessoXtras v0.5 supports CDi games in the old CHD format that was used in MESS 0.140. If you have CHD files for MESS, they are probably in the NEW CHD format. in the emulator there is a folder "chd_revert" with an script developed by Madmab, to convert files from the new CHD format to the old one, that is supported in MessoXtras.
    Q: Parts of the top, bottom, left or right ofthe screen are cut off.
    A: You can adjust the screen size by pressing Start button to bring up the menu. Then select "Slider Controls". Decrease "Screen Vert Stretch" to affect top/bottom and "Screen Horiz Stretch" for right/left.

  3. MADrigalX

    MADrigalX makes possible to play a lot of the "game and watch" handheld simulators developed by MADrigal... in your original Xbox! It is a standalone emulator based on the "game and watch" Libretro core and the work of Andre Leiradella. 
    Currently, 59 games are supported (54 of them are already playable at full speed!). You don't need to search for "roms", as the games are already included in the emulator. 
    Big thanks to Luca "MADrigal" Antignano for developing these awesome simulators and the user interface, and giving permission to make this possible; and also big thanks to Andre Leiradella for his incredible work converting those simulators to Lua and creating the interpreter!
     
    WHAT IS NEW
    -----------
    * Amazing user interface designed by Luca "MADrigal" Antignano (thanks, Luca!)
    * Huge optimization that makes almost all the games playable at full speed, even with zoom mode enabled!
    * Fixed some bugs in gameplay, and in highscores saving. Now highscores will be properly saved.
    * Special zoom modes for some 2-screen games.
    * Fixed problems with the controls that existed in a few 2-screens games, like Donkey Kong (Nintendo, Multi Screen) or Donkey Kong II (Nintendo, Multi Screen). These games are playable now too.

    CONTROLS
    --------
    Each game has different controls, because each machine has different buttons. If you keep pressed the START button, you will see a help window with the key mapping for the game that you are playing to. 
    In a lot of games, the LEFT and RIGHT TRIGGERS are mapped to the "Game A" and "Game B" buttons. So, to start playing you should press the LEFT trigger (easy game) or the RIGHT trigger (difficult game). A few games have different controls though, and you can always see them pressing START.
    Besides, if you press BACK you will toggle the ZOOM mode, making the screen larger. Please, be informed that zoom mode is experimental.
    If you simmultaneously press START+BACK, you will exit from the game.
     
    KNOWN ISSUES
    ------------
    * There are a few games that are still not playable: Chicky Woggy, Crazy Chewy, Donkey Angler and Pac Man.
    * The "zoom" functionality is still working bad in a few games.
    * The coconut doesn't work well in the "Donkey Kong Jr (Panorama version)". This is not important because you can play the Coleco version, that is basically the same and works well ;)
    * A few games rarely crash when booting. If this happens, please re-launch the emulator and run the game again.
    These issues will hopefull been fixed in later updates.

    CREDITS/THANKS

    Also big thanks to the Libretro team for caring about generic emulation for everybody!
  4. NestopiaX

    NestopiaX is a NES emulator for the XBOX. This is a port of the pc NES emu nestopia and is now the best NES emu on XBOX. It also plays the famicom disc system games at full framerate.
    What's new/added/fixed/broken eh?

    The biggest and best update yet! This release has been the culmination of another 2 years of frustration, testing, tweaking, and research. 
    1.) Added the ability to set the ram power on state of the emulated NES. This affects games like River City Ransom's start up enemies and other games. By default a real NES used random values to flush into ram on startup. Nestopia still defaults to 0XFF.  To toggle the settings, go into general options while in game and set the state to random and reset to hard and Nestopia will flush ram like a real NES did after resetting. 
    2.) Added the option to emulate the famicom mic. Most famicom and FDS games did not utilize the mix but some games like the zelda FDS version utilized the mic to kill pols voice. The option can be found in controller options in general settings. You can set the simulation of the noise of the mic to the xbox dpad. Press it repeatedly to simulate sound into the mic. 
    3.) Added support for the Bandai Hypershot for games like space shadow. It is integrated with the lightgun support, so set controller 1 to gamepad and controller 2 to lightgun. Button a on the xbox dpad is to shoot, and B moves the character forward after killing an alien. Button b also throws a grenade while fighting an alien. This will be cleaned up in the future but for now, Bandai Hypershot games are now playable on xbox. 
    Note: Lightgun games are not compatible with the NTSC filter. 
    4.) Correct and accurate emulation of the MC-ACC mapper. Games like Mickeys safari in letterland and others now play accurately. 
    5.) Lutter FDS Was freezing, fixed!
    6.) Blaster master pimp your ride was not working correctly, FIXED!
    7.) Core and Xbox side code cleanup
    8.) Added partial support for mapper 168 - Racermate Challenge II
    9.) Added support for mapper 162 - Zelda Triforce of the gods pirate and translation now work
    10.) Added support for Board KS-7031 Dracula II FDS conversion works (perilsensitive)
    11.) Added support for mapper 190 - Magic Kid goo goo now works
    12.) Added support for Kaiser unif board 7012 Zanac FDS conversion
    13.) Added support for Highway Star FDS conversion
    14.) Fixed Resident Evil Nes translation (now saves and plays correctly)
    15.) Added support for Getsufuu Maden Translation 
    15.) Updated the Database.xml file with TONS of new games and fixes. Please overwrite the current database.xml with the new one. The following games now work:
    1.)B-Wings (Eng-Trans, Stardust Crusaders, 1.0)
    2.)Added entry for scrambled screen on some Arkanoid II roms
    3.)Cris force prototype 
    4.)FIFA International 2 '96
    5.)Crisis Force
    6.)Contra (Sample prototype)
    7.)Contra (Eng-Trans, Stardust Crusaders, 1.01
    8.)Keisan Game - Sansuu 2 Toshi (Eng-Trans, Pikachumanson, 1.0)
    9.)Ganbare Goemon Gaiden (Eng-Trans, Adventurous Translations, 0.99c)
    10.)Wai Wai World I (Eng-Trans, Dylan Robley, 1.0)
    11.)I'm Kid Dracula (Eng-Trans, Vice Translations, 1.04)
    12.)Parodius - From Myth to Laughter (Eng-Trans, Stardust Crusaders, 1.0)
    13.)Twinbee 3 prototype
    14.)Puzzle prototype (was garbled)
    15.) Others i forgot :/

    Thanks to emuxtras!, Madmab, hcf, Gamezfan, Cbagy, Weinerscnitzel, nes6502, xport, SPPV,

  5. XBoyAdvance

    XBoyAdvance is an Gameboy Advance/Gameboy Color/Super Gameboy emulator ported for XBox from VisualBoy Advance.
    v25 changelog:
    * Updated to madmab edition interface CFv1b35. See "Interface Changelog.txt" * Changes to the screenshot code to account for new directory layout when using "Extras menu" screenshot options. * Just a refresher (this was already present in last version) Frameskip is set to 0 if a gameboy or gameboy color game is selected (file extension .gb, .gbc, .cbg, .sgb). This will only apply to games without configurations. On games with configurations you have to manually set the framerate to 0. * Frameskip is set to 1 for GBA games thanks to Tabajara's INTEL optimizations! See below. Not all games quite at 100%, but close! This will only apply to games without configurations. On games with configurations you have to manually set the framerate to 0. * Frameskip in default game configuration is overriden by above settings. If you have a problem game (slow) just set the frameskip for it individually. * INTEL optimizations by Tabajara. Here are a few examples of improvements you will see below
  6. XBMC4XBOX

    XBMC4XBOX es una puesta al día de XMBC (Xbox Media Center) para la Xbox original.
  7. Final Burn Legends

    Final Burn Legends is a port of Final Burn Alpha 2.99.07 to the Xbox.
    It also includes parts of FBA-XXX Pro 1.29. Support for over 2700 games. Some games are not playable anywhere else on the Xbox. 

  8. Xbox HD Maker (xboxhdm)

    This explains howto build a burnable iso from this distribution.
    For information on howto use the xbox HD builder script read the readme.txt in the linux directory.
    The xbox HD builder script (xboxhd) needs the xbox C-, and E-drive files. 
    You can supply the script with these files in two ways. You can either :
    - burn a seperate CDROM with two folders containing the xbox C-, and E-drive respectively, or - Put the xbox C- and E-drive files in the C and E folders in linux directory before making the burnable iso.
    BUILDING THE ISO.
    In windows upon a 'Command prompt' and navigate to this directory.
    Run the following command :
    > make-iso-win.bat
    In linux navigate to this directory and execute :
    > make-iso-lin.sh
    This should produce a file called linux.iso that you must now burn  to blank CDROM. It's important that you burn this raw image and don't create a Data CDROM containing this image...
    UNLOCK/LOCK TOOLS.
    If you need to lock or unlock xbox HD's use also have two options :
    1) Boot the CDROM an choose option 3) at the boot prompt. This will     bring you to a DOS prompt with the unlockx, hdlock, hdunlock, hddisabl  utilities. However as the CDROM is read-only on log files can be saved  so you will be prompted the used passwd when a HD is locked. Write this down in case the passwd later turns out to be incorrect. You can also insert a fat-formatted floppy and run the save-logs command to save the used passwd's   onto floppy
    2) If you have a floppy-drive you can create a DOS-floppy with all nessecary HD tools by running the make-DOS-floppy.bat script in a command-prompt.  Running the HD lock/unlock tools from a floppy the log-files with used  passwd's will automatically be saved.
    Good luck - and remember to read the readme.txt before using this tool! ldots.
  9. NTSC to PAL and PAL to NTSC converter

    The Enigmah Video Mode Select CD is a tool that converts any NTSC box into a full PAL box so you get a full color output. 
    Also works on JAP machines and PAL machines,(if you want to convert PAL to NTSC). Elminate all Black & White problems without the need for a full RGB lead. Press A to select PAL and Press B to select NTSC, press X and Y for a few extras :) It works best on DVDR but will boot on CDRW just as well. Tested 100% on the amazing Enigmah Xbox Mod - the only mod that does everything all on one chip.
  10. SimpleX ISO

    SimpleX is a legal tool to make "TRUE" Xbox Iso.

    1. What is SimpleX ISO?
    It's a 2 in 1 program.
    It's legal tool to make "TRUE" Xbox iso
    or extracts an Xbox ISO.
    (It can do both at the same time :) )
    2. Why ?
    I wrote this just 'cause I hate XDFSExtract.exe and gdfimage.exe :)
    They are slow and rape the CPU's resource.
    3. Features of SimpleX ISO ?
    -= Create "TRUE" XBOX iso :
    You can compare the iso file created by gdfimage.exe with the iso file created by this program. There are only some differences at the address: 1001Ch -> 10023h ; These addresses holds the creation time of the iso; So of course they should be difference.
    -= It uses less CPU resource than XDFSExtract and gdfimage (You can use it while listening to your favorite music)
    -= It's fast
    -= It is using Graphical User Interface (GUI-Simple Window GUI)
    -= It's simple:
    After you apply the "Establish shell extensions", you can right-click on
    * a folder to create an xbox iso
    * an iso file to extract it.
    4. How to Install?
    - Unzip
    - Copy SimpleX.exe and SimpleXExt.dll to any folder (suggesstion: where you used to store applications or make a new folder)
    - Run it from there
    5. Contact:
    I wrote it in MASM32 (see the included source code)
    If you see any bugs, please report it to me via email below (please give me more detail if possible)
    BTW, I'm not good in English - I appreciate all grammar corrections.

    UnleashX is a replacement dashboard for the Xbox, it is an alternative to the original Microsoft Dashboard.

    ****    Change Log    ****
    UnleashX V0.39.0528 Build 584
    Version:    0.39 Build 584
    Status        Alpha
    Release Date:    05/28/2007
    *Fixed    Problem displaying Zipped skins properly.
    *Fixed    Black color in images are rendered as transparent.
    *Fixed    Dash lockup when scrolling up in Game Manager.
    *Fixed    MP3 files are now playable directly from USB FAT32 devices.
    *Changed    z-buffer bit depth to 16-bit from 32-bit to decrease
            memory footprint.
    *Added    "Compress Texture" in video settings. Default is Off/No/False.
        Settings this to true enables the Dash to use Texture compression
        for big images, decreasing the memory requirement to display those
        in exchange for a lesser quality image. You can set this to "Yes" if
        you are using a skin with lots of videos/images 
    *Added    "Browse Folder" in Music manager. You can now select folders
        containing MP3 and WMA files and the dash will queue them
    *Added    WMA playback support for ISO9660 disc/USB FAT32 devices.
        Note: Files are copied to a temp folder. File streaming in XACT
        appears to be broken so I can't play from the media source directly.

    Version:    0.39 Build 582
    Status        Alpha

    *Changed "Middle" alignment reverted back to old implementation.
    *Changed Re-wrote InfoText source which demands too much memory causing
         corruption in the display

    *Added    AlbumArt for custom soundtrack. Drop a file named "folder.jpg" or
        "folder.png" in each of your custom soundtrack folder. You can
        then display the album art like the following in either the main
        screen, or the music player.

            DPad Down: Decrease interval by 1 sec (min 2 sec)
    *Added    Full support for USB 1.1-compliant FAT32 devices via File Explorer. Write
        speed is still slow. I patched the XDK library to go around the 4GB
        limit hardcoded into the system but my mobile HD still wouldn't work.
        It's could be that it's not USB1.1 compliant but I ran out of hardware
        to test. Tested with 128MB, 512MB, 1GB flash disk and 4GB iPod Nano. Let
        me know if you have success with bigger HDD. 
            Read rate: ~1MB/sec
            Write Rate: ~350Kb/sec
            Multiple partition is support (Max 4 partition)
            Limited to a single mounted device.

    Make sure your xbe, zipped skin file, custom music...etc., doesn't contain multiple 
    periods (".") in its file name. It seems the search file API has a problem when 
    using search filter such as "*.mp3" or "*.zip". It won't return files like 
    "my.cool.song.mp3". I'll take a look on this and it's probably something wrong on my 
    part, but I don't wanna take out the filter and check for the extension myself.
    I'm using the standard FindFirstFile/FindNextFile API, if anyone has a tip, that
    would be cool.

    Fixed:    Problem with the newer IR Control.
    Fixed:    Background music (BGM) gets muted even though the audio of preview video is disabled.
    Changed:    EnableDriveF default value was changed to False. This should ensure greater compatibility with older BIOSes.

    Added:    Video mode Auto-Detect/Auto-Switch using Cherry's patch code so it's EEPROM safe (Doesn't modify and write to EEPROM). Force PAL60 option is also included.

    Added:    Context Menu. Press start button to bring it up. Options available are Select/Play, Information, and Backup to Harddisk (backup only for that specific game/title).

    Added:    Ability to personalize/name your DVD compilation disk by simply adding a file named "DiskTitle.txt" containing the alternate Title you want. Instead of having a disk with title showing as "UnleashX CD", or "MediaXMenu"(?) or "RemoteX"/"Evox CD", you can have it like "MultiGame disk Vol. 2" or "Halo/MechAssault Disk". Note: For UnleashX bootdisk without this file, auto-launching is suppressed irregardless of your setting.

  19. Xbox OS

    This dashboard was dream up one day while screwing around on the xbox.  They ideas for
    it are still comming,but I'm not going try and reinvent the wheel.  The goal of my project
    is to have a nice bundle of software like an 'os' so its almost just a plug and play with
    very few configurations.  I have include some homebrew xbes not written by me.  So if your 
    having problems with them contact them.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Bugs & Bashes & Comments:
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    If you find a bug contact me at SinnerSol@hushmail.com.  I am looking for dump sites so when new
    release are out I can just upload to a few sites and be done with it. Also I am looking
    for people with skills in graphics to do some backgrounds. Join the Xbox-os Revolition and 
    contribute.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Features Included:
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    1. Menuing System
    2. Autoboot DVD's to default dvd player
    3. Plays sound tracks from menu.
    4. Comes with all the tools you need.
    5. Play multipul games from one cd, see advance_readme.txt
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Menu Movement:
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    1. Thumbpad for up and down movement.
    2. Start or 'A' to select.
    3. Back or 'X' to go back to the main menu.
    4. 'B' to play next song on sound track.
    5. 'Y' to go to next sound track.
    6. Right Trigger next skin
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Modifing Ini: Auto
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    run the "menu editor3.exe"
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Modifing Ini: Manul
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The entire dashboard is very configurable.  Everthing is loaded into ini files. No spaces 
    between the "==". Here are two examples.
    Good:
    File Manager==d:\filemanager\default.xbe
    Bad:
    File Manager== d:\filemanager\default.xbe
    Good:
    Sub Menu A==c:\xos\ini\name.ini
    Bad:
    Sub Menu A==name.ini

    It has to be perfect or it wont run. No spaces between the "=="! Also use the absolute path.
    --How the menu works
    Any menu can create submenus. menu.ini is the first menu. Thus you can make Xbox-os look/run how you want it.
    If you dont want any menus just games on your boot page. Then you could do something like
    this:
    menu.ini
    Game A==e:\games\a\default.xbe
    Game b==e:\games\b\default.xbe
    Game c==e:\gamesothergames\c\default.xbe
    --Auto Add games ands Apps listed a directory
    none==e:\directory\auto.add

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Install:
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The dashboard has only been tested as the file c:\xboxdash.xbe. 
    I dont think it will boot from a dvd/cd, but its not tested.
    Files & directories should be located here for proper functionality. You can change
    the name of xboxdash.xbe, but it has to be located in c:\.
    c:\xboxdash.xbe
    c:\xos\

    Files to modify
    c:\xos\ini\games.ini    Set the location of any games.
    c:\xos\ini\defaults.ini    Set the location of the background picture
    c:\xos\ini\media.ini    Set the location of MS dash, If you have it
    c:\xos\ini\tools.ini    Set the location of Evo, If you have it.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Keep the scene alive and kicking, especailly Homebrew programmers.

  20. User Interface X (UIX)

    It's about friggin time - I mean - it's with great pleasure we present to you the 1st official release of the user.interface.x dashboard. This is as basic, yet functionally complete as one could need. This will most likely be the 1st and last release using  anything from the original Microsoft dashboard, all future releases will be completely our original material, from the scripts to the meshes and everything in between.
    Listed below are the new scriptable functions and objects now at your disposal, as  well as descriptions/samples of each. They were made to be as simple as possible to use  so you should have very little heartache implimenting them into your work.
    This release includes our last Microsoft menu to replace the very used up drop down  style hard drive menus. We now give you one you have been waiting for since day 1... the memory menu. This is a user.interface.x exclusive, as is the brand new file manager :)
    This dash is released in two separate parts to make future updates easier and a much smaller download (+-7mb compared to 40+)
    Part One: xx.xx.xx.user.interface.x.dash.rar
     this is the dash core, the smaller of the two and the one we will update Part Two: xx.xx.xx.user.interface.x.dash.audio.&.fonts.rar
    this is the contents of the audio and fonts folders, audio will not need  updating unless you use custom sounds, fonts should never need updating Network runs on either static or dchp and yes - you can ftp while watching on movie on the dongle free dvd player. Config is fully handled in the settings menu, but for those of you who like editing files, everything is in a simple ini in system folder,   there you can set your paths and names for menu listings as well as toggle the other goodies in there. Here's a quick rundown of ini...
    Installation:    

    The distro contains 'user.interface.x.dash' folder and 'uix.xbe', the xbe may be renamed to whatever you want to call it. The folder however is hard coded in the xbe and can NOT be changed. 
    To install as an app simply place the xbe and folder in the same path, ie: E:\dashboards\UIX so you have E:\dashboards\UIX\user.interface.x.dash and E:\dashboards\UIX\uix.xbe
    To install as a main dashboard simply place the folder and xbe on a partition root,  ie: E:\ so you have E:\user.interface.x.dash and E:\uix.xbe
    Bug Reporting:

    As this is the first public release the increase in number of users will no doubt unveil some bugs we have yet to come across. Everyone in #teamUIX is more than helpful with resolving script bugs and will be able to pass on to devs to resolve actual issues with the xbe itself.
    Notes:

    The new memory style menus have 'Launch Title' and 'Delete Title' in their submenu. Don't worry, 'Delete Title' doesn't do anything. It was simply left to show that more can be added to that submenu if desired. One could script in for it to be 'Edit Comments' and use the keyboard to create a file in the titles save dir to read text from and display that text in the meta panel below. Just an idea :)
    Playlist Player\Editor in music menu is not in this release, that will be our first update as well as the inevitable bug fixes found from finally being publicly used.
    New Menu Options and Usage:
     
    Music Menu: "Playlist Player\Editor" is disabled  for now, will be 1st update. In "Edit Soundtrack"  menu press Y to rename the soundtrack.
    Hard Drive Menu: Will load title lists on 1st use. To refresh the list of a given menu press Y in  the menu and you will be prompted to resfresh the cache. This will update the lists after adding or removing a title from hd or after changing option to list titles from xbe internal names to using folder names.
    Back and Start buttons are globally mapped to raise/lower music volume. White and Black buttons are globally mapped to eject and close the dvd tray.

Thanks to Ben Jeremy for not only trying to help when asked for it - but also for  xselect, if you're gonna script anything xselect is your best friend and #1 error 21 avoider :) finally, thanks to everyone who spends their time building and rebuilding, writing and rewriting, creating and  tweaking, and giving up their free time so our free time can be that much cooler. we all owe them a  tremendous thx. and finally thanks to you, there is no scene without users,  and the user is who we do this all for...

  21. RDX

    rdx (at this point at least) is a collection of new (but comparitivly)  basic emulator ports along with very basic dashboard like functionallity. 
    The primary aim of releasing this is to try and stimulate the xbox  homebrew dev community a little as things seem to be quieting down a bit  lately. :)
    You are encouraged to make as many changes to the code as you want and  submit them back to us for inclusion in a future version.
    There are a few, hopefully non-restrictive, licencing type rules at the  top of dash.cpp about what you can and can't do with the source to team xos developed code. They are not there to limit what you can do with  the code but more to ensure that you release the modified source to any released binaries to help the development community. Certain parts of the code written outside of Team XOS have slightly more restrictive licences but please always follow the licence the original developers have assigned  to there code. 
    Enjoy!
    by TMaul and the rest of Team Xos.
