Xbox Dash 10027100 Patchers from tHe XboxDash CReW... This release is really 5 in 1. All have the autofill and soundtrack functionlity as well as a new more user configurable config.xap file. Many options were added to it so be sure to thoroughly go through it the first time you set it up. Also included in all versions are a couple of firsts... the first time most of you will see a beta menu we have revived :) And also the first 21 xip dash - thanks to the use of a no xip hacked xbe. Unfortunately due to this fact these patches are only compatable with the version 4920 dash (xboxdashdata.10027100). Before I get into the descriptions of each patch I must stress the few known bugs that we have found. First and most importantly - they are NOT compatable with memory cards. If you have a memory card in your controller when you go to the memory menu - it will tell you it has just formatted your card. And it does. Seeing as how you needed a chip and ftp access to your xbox to even put the dash on in the first place - this shouldn't really be an issue. Saves can be ftp'd on to your box - and if you need to take a save on the go to a friends house - put the card in - it'll be formatted for you - but you can still save to it afterwards. The other known issue is with a stock 8gb HD with no F partition. There's a simple fix for this one though thankfully. If you happen to be stuck with the stock 8gb HD - simply edit default.xip/default.xap - scroll down into the auto fill function and replace all the checks on Partition6 with Partition4 or 5. Simply replacing them all with Partition1 will result in multiples of all listed titles - so go with an existing, non-utilized partition :) Now on to the good stuff.... Xbox Dash 10027100 Stock Base Model Patcher.exe _______________________________________________ This is the first step for any of the desired results. All the other patchers in this release were designed to be run on the files you will get as a result of this patcher. So if you want a blue dash with the cellwall effect, run this patcher first - then run the Xbox Dash 10027100 Blue with CellWall Patcher on the files you just patched. The base model is just as it sounds - a stock looking dash with all the goodies we could pack in it (for now hehe) Xbox Dash 10027100 Green with CellWall Patcher.exe __________________________________________________ Running this patcher on patched base model files will give a green dash with the cellwall effect in the background, and a little something extra in your dash :) This is a skinned dash with a little eye candy we threw in to make up for not having the save icons in the orbs yet. Read below on how to further skin this mod. Xbox Dash 10027100 Green No CellWall Patcher.exe ________________________________________________ This patcher will result in the same the last one - but with no cellwall effect in the background so your custom backgrounds can be clearly seen. Again - read below on skinning. Xbox Dash 10027100 Blue with CellWall Patcher.exe & Xbox Dash 10027100 Blue No CellWall Patcher.exe _________________________________________________ Same as the green ones - but kicked up a notch with everyone's favorite blue mod ;) Skinning... Now that there is an official section on www.allxboxskins.com for ms dash skins, we have made every effort to make skinning - and sharing your skins easier with this dash. By now everyone know how to change their background images and edit the colors with HeXbe. This release also incorporates a single xbx file named panels.xbx which - you guessed it - allows you to change the colors/textures of all the menu panels in the dash by simply replacing the xbx in the xips. the xbx used was 256x256 one, and is found in the following xips... default.xip mainmenu5.xip memory_files2.xip Message.xip music2.xip Music_PlayEdit2.xip settings3.xip Backgrounds are easily changed too by adding in your custom background as xboxbg.xbx in default.xip. These changes now make it possible to distibute a skin as a set of... background image (xboxbg.xbx)- panels texture (panels.xbx) and HeXbe color project file. Features... Main Menu _____________________________ Right ThumbStick Press will show results of autofill checks X Button will start/skip to next song of background music Y Button will turn off background music and return you to the ambient sounds B Button prompts for power off Left Trigger, Right Trigger, White Button and Black Button are all user definable hot keys to launch titles directly from main menu with a single button press. Memory Menu _____________________________ Left Trigger will show you the name of the folder the save is stored in. In the case of a duplicate save from XTech's Dummy Save Manager - look at the path shown in the pop up box. If the folder name is dsm_** it is a dummy and if you have a duplicate - that is the one you should delete. Setup _____________________________ The new setup of the config file includes many new options - from custom system info text - to the storage options you choose for autofill. As stated earlier - please take your time the first time you set it up so you can check out all the new options and make use of them the first time through ;) Once again included in the release is XTech's Dummy Save Manager. Although the config now allows you to define your storage folders with whatever names you choose - this version of Dummy Save Manager does not support all possible names. If you experience an issue of the tool not finding all your titles on your HD - temporarily rename the folder to a common name like apps or games, then run the tool to create your dummy saves - then name them back to they way you have them defined in your config.xap. Thanks and props go out to all in the scene who not only got us into it in the first place - but keep us here :) Thanks for choosing to use our dash mod - and as always KEEP A CLEAN COPY OF YOUR FILES AS BACKUP !!!
