Just A Quick Note Options

[markland556]

jonathan2007 you should really become a beta tester, you seem like you really kow what your talking about. As for me i just hope i make it as a beta tester, im convinced i can handle it, and i have about 4 days of free time still.

[jonathan2007]

Welp I guess you guys convinced me. I sent you a message James from my user name at google's mail.

[[BiA]FRAGMAN]

I signed up days ago

There hasn't been any response yet, so I'm not sure the email went to the right place... Anybody got answers yet?

[unleashx]

Yes, I got your email and everyone else's.

You will all receive an email when the first WIP build since the last public release is available, which should be sometime this week. Just finishing up on one function and it should be out.

[unleashx]

Sorry to hear about the holiday mishaps. Hopefully things will get squared away soon after the move.

Anyways, I just wanted to say thanks again for all the hard work. Now on to more WIP testing! Have you decided on a bug report format yet when testers report bugs so it will be easier for you to help locate the bug?

Also, I would recommend all would be WIP testers to provide as much info as they can on their current xbox setup to help UX out on narrowing down bugs:

XBOX VERSION:
MODCHIP/TSOP TYPE:
BIOS:
BIOS BOOT SEQUENCE:
HDD MAKE/MODEL/SIZE:
HDD G DRIVE ENABLED:
UNLEASHX .XBE LOCATION:
NETWORK SETUP: (ie dsl modem, router, switch/hub connections, wireless, etc.)
PC FTP SOFTWARE:
ETC...

This is a very nice format. These info should accompany any bug reports that are to be posted here.

W.I.P stands for Work-in-Progress.

W.I.P releases arent for public release but rather for a select group of people to bug bash the program/app/dash

Hope that made sense 

LOL ok thanks. As a dev I should have guessed this.
I would have just called it Beta testers.

jonathan2007: Thanks but I wasn’t asking for the app just info.
I’m a new UnleashX user and I am very pleased with it so far.


No time for beta testing (Sorry). But I would like to say nice job on the dash and I’m really looking forward to getting back to the city so I can play online with it.

This is a very nice format. These info should accompany any bug reports that are to be posted here.

For the sake of brevity, I recommend we change this format a little bit. The bios version should tell you whether there is a G drive. For example 4981.06 = no G, 4983.67 = G. And of course you could surmise that if one had a 4979.67 bios but their drive was only 120gb, they must not have a G drive, correct? And stating the boot sequence AND the location of UnleashX is a bit superfluous. Here's what I propose:

XBOX VERSION:
MODCHIP/TSOP TYPE/OS REVISION (FOR GEN4):
BIOS:
HDD MAKE/MODEL/SIZE:
UNLEASHX .XBE LOCATION - APP/DASH:

NETWORK SETUP: (ie dsl modem, router, switch/hub connections, wireless, etc.)
PC FTP SOFTWARE:


I've added this info for both my xbox's into my signature as an example. What do you think?

Edit: If you run UnleashX as an app, you would just put the location and the word APP. I.E.
F:\Dashboards\UnleashX\default.xbe App

Hi guys whats up. I recently changed from avalaunch to UnleashX. YAY. I have been messing around with the dash and i really like it. Its got some awesome features like the built in text editor and the custom movie stuff. I was wondering if i could be part of the ultra secret WIP Beta team.

My email is balltongue50187 at gmail dot com

Hope to help you guys with the bug bashing.

Not trying to be rude, but does anyone ever take the time to read? It's very simple. If you want to become a WIP beta tester, here's the exact instructions!

So, if you want to be a WIP tester, here's your chance. The only requirement is that, you should really know what you are doing and can recover from anything with eyes blindfolded . Oh, one more, whiners are not allowed to join . If you have the guts, knows how to report in a very concise manner, know every detail of your xbox, send an email to unleashx2003 @ google's mail. I may not reply immediately as I will process application by batches.

Perhaps you'd have a better chance of becoming a beta tester if you FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS! One would most likely assume that if you can't follow the very BASIC DIRECTIONS of sending an email that most likely you wouldn't be able to follow the not so basic directions of reporting any bugs you run across in a clear and concise manner.

Sorry for the rant... I just feel like you're wasting unleashx's time making him read the the forums and expecting him to look up your email address and send you the beta testing info, when if you follow the directions, it's much simpler for everyone. Again, not trying to be a jerk... directions are there for the betterment of everyone involved.

I couldn't agree more but I was going to ignore them because then the have no chance of becoming a tester when they can't even read when. Bringing me to the conclusion they have no clue how to test

[GrimlyFiendish]

Hey guys thanks for your input - I'll leave you to it then - seeing as I'm not up to the job!

[BallTongue]

You know you guys are right. I didn't read unleash's post. If you want to bash me cause i didn't read a post go ahead. But don't question wether i can test software or not. I just was a little excited and saw people posting there emails. So i went ahead and posted mine thinking nothing of it. But i love posts like this:

"I couldn't agree more but I was going to ignore them because then the have no chance of becoming a tester when they can't even read when. Bringing me to the conclusion they have no clue how to test"

Thanks for your vote of cofidence Jezz_x. Im surprised i never met a person like you, who never makes mistakes.
