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.

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.
