This release is mostly bug fixes. Due to unforseen circumstances, real life problems got in the way. I was planning to add more real features but due to the current situation, it would take me a while to do so. The only big(?) new features are capability to format new harddisk, XBE renamer, new action commands: delete, PrepareHD, zip, unzip. Others are either music or video related. **** Change Log **** Version: 0.26.0119A Release Date: 01/19/2004 Fixed: Won't boot on BIOSes patched with Big F partition. Fixed: Crown/crosshair doesn't rotate when triggers are use to move between menu items. Fixed: Memory Units drive assignment conflicts with Drive F & G when inserted on Port 1. Thanks to BenJeremy for the hack. Fixed: Root of Memory units is not accessible. Instead of the actual root Root, it displays the Saved game's metadata. Fixed: WMV playback is choppy. Also, WMV9 file makes the dash crash. Fixed: Music doesn't play when you press right thumbstick, if you disabled background music in your settings. Fixed: DDS formatted, DXT3 compressed game icons doesn't show up (Hunter: The Reckoning...etc.) Fixed: Skin settings doesn't save if "Settings" section isn't found. Fixed: FTP compatibility with some FTP client (xFer and Qwix and I hope some Unix based clients too -sorry, don't have anything to test this on). Fixed: File Manager won't do anything if the current selection is the first item ("..") and you select "Copy". Fixed: Smoother navigation when using the IR remote control. Fixed: Pressing the Back button while virtual keyboard is being displayed should dimiss ONLY the virtual keyboard, not the current screen/dialog. Added: Capability to format new Harddisk and restore backup when run from from CD-R/RW or DVD. See hdprepare_movie.txt for details. Thanks to Modchip-Source (www.modchipsource.com) for providing the HD used for testing. Added: New Action command: "PrepareHD". Performs formatting of HD as if you just installed a new disk. Run only from DVD/CD to avoid error because of open files. Ex: <Item Action="PrepareHD">Prepare New HD</Item> Added: New Action command: "Delete". Deletes a single file or a directory recursively -please be cautious and don't blame me for lost data. Deleting from action command WILL NOT ASK for your confirmation. Ex: <Item Action="Delete" Arg1="C:\Items.xml">Delete Cache</Item>, or Ex: <Item Action="C:\Skins">Delete Skins folder</Item> Added: New Action command: "Zip". Zip a single file or a directory. Ex: <Item Action="Zip" Arg1="C:\Skins" Arg2="C:\Skins.zip">Zip up Skins folder</Item>. Format is Command-Source file/folder-destination file Added: New Action command: "UnZip". Expands a zip file. Ex: <Item Action="UnZip" Arg1="C:\skins.zip" Arg2="C:\Skins">Extract Skins</Item>. Format is Command-Source zip file-destination folder Added: FTP SITE EXEC command. Ex: SITE EXEC <Fullpath to XBE> Added: XBE Title editor. Find and highlight your xbe using the File manager, bring up the menu, and find "Rename XBE Title" option. Added: Detects if an XBE was modified -then updates the cache to reflect info. (Should now update the title when you use XBERenamer, or any XBE-editing tool) Added: Music can now be controlled using the IR. Play, Pause, Stop, Forward(next song), Reverse(prev. song), Skip+(next Soundtrack), Skip-(prev. soundtrack) Added: Enable/disable Preview video via the Black button (only for skins that uses preview videos) Added: Windowed/Fullscreen mode for preview video via Right thumbstick press, or Display on the IR control. (Menu items will still show up when in full screen mode) Added: Background Sound effect is now muted when Music is playing. Added: Background music is muted when preview video is playing. Changed: All XBE can now be patch(Media flag), not just "default.xbe" -Thanks to xeero, BTW.
