This tutorial will make your tHc Lite dashboard to run from F.

You Need :

1. Winxip
2. Hex editor
3. Notepad
4. default.xip
5. thclite.xbe (can be name to whatever your bios looks for)

Step 1. Edit the default.xap on default.xip

1.Open Winxip
2.Open the default.xip and extract the default.xap
3.Open the default.xap with notepad
4.Do a search for

CODE
function GetSubmenuText()


Change the Y to N

QUOTE

function GetSubmenuText()
{
    var info = new Settings;
    info.file = "Y:\\config.xbx"; <----- change Y to N
    SubMenuItem1 = info.GetValue("Memory Text");
    SubMenuItem2 = info.GetValue("Music Text");
    SubMenuItem3 = info.GetValue("HardDrive Text");
    SubMenuItem4 = info.GetValue("Settings Text");
}

function GetConfigInfo()
{
    var info = new Settings;
    info.file = "Y:\\config.xbx"; <----- change Y to N
    TotalSections = info.GetValue("Total Sections");
    return TotalSections;
}

function GetSectionTitles(x)
{
    var a = x;
    var info = new Settings;
    info.file = "Y:\\config.xbx"; <----- change Y to N
    info.section = "section" + a;
    SectionName = info.GetValue("Title");
    return SectionName;
}

function GetSectionPaths(x)
{
    var a = x;
    var info = new Settings;
    info.file = "Y:\\config.xbx"; <----- change Y to N
    info.section = "section" + a;
    SectionPath = info.GetValue("Path");
    return SectionPath;
}

function GetOrb()
{
    var info = new Settings;
    info.file = "Y:\\config.xbx"; <----- change Y to N
    var a = info.GetValue("Use Thc Orb");
    if(a == "Yes")
    {
        thcorb = true;
    }
    else
    {
        thcorb = false;
    }
}

function GetBGM()
{
    var info = new Settings;
    info.file = "Y:\\config.xbx"; <----- change Y to N
    var b = info.GetValue("Background Music");
    if(b == "Yes")
    {
        BGMon = true;
    }
}


Step 2. Editing the xbe

1.Open your Hex editor (i used Hex Workshop)
2.Open the xbe with it
3. Edit , Go To, and type offset 0002863 (if youre using Hex Workshop)
4. change 32 to 36 , that will make it boot from Partition 6 (F) instead of Partition 2 ©

UPDATE

This will make MemoryX to look for the score on F

1.Open Winxip
2.Open the default.xip and extract the memoryx.xap
3.Open the memoryx.xap with notepad
4.Do a search for

CODE
function GetScoreInfo()


Change Y to N

QUOTE

function GetScoreInfo()
{
    var info = new Settings;
    info.file = "Y:\\memoryx.xbx"; <----- change Y to N
    NameOne = info.GetValue("NameOne");
    NameTwo = info.GetValue("NameTwo");
    NameThree = info.GetValue("NameThree");
    ScoreOne = info.GetValue("ScoreOne");
    ScoreTwo = info.GetValue("ScoreTwo");
    ScoreThree = info.GetValue("ScoreThree");
}


Update #2 Quicklaunch

Found that quicklaunch wasnt working so heres how to make it work from F too.

1.Open Winxip
2.Open the default.xip and extract the default.xap
3.Open the default.xap with notepad
4.Do a search for

CODE
function QuickLaunch(x)


Change Y to N

QUOTE

function QuickLaunch(x)
{
    quicklaunch = true;
    var g = x;
    var info = new Settings;
    info.file = "Y:\\config.xbx"; <----- change Y to N
    var a = info.GetValue("Quick Launch " + g);
    var b = a.substr(0,1);
    var c = a.indexOf("\\");
    var d = a.lastIndexOf("\\");
    var e;
    if(d > 4)
    {

i thinks so ,

it would be like this

same as above only change it from

QUOTE

info.file = "N:\\config.xbx";


To

QUOTE

info.file = "N:\\dashboards\\t\\config.xbx";


and the xbe to look for

Partition6\dashboards\t\thcdata

*NOTE i wrote t cause on the xbe theres hardly space to write dashboards\thc\tHcdata, i didnt want to make the xbe useless by deleting data from it *

you also can change the screenshot location open a hex edit program and look for
CODE
C:\tHc_snapshot00000000.bmp
and change the c:/ to what ever you want

C:/ = Y
E:/ = C
F:/ = N
G:/ = O

Ok so far all I get is a black screen when I go to boot it. here are my settings


default.xap

function GetSubmenuText()
{
var info = new Settings;
info.file = "N:\\dashboards\\t\\config.xbx";

function GetConfigInfo()
{
var info = new Settings;
info.file = "N:\\dashboards\\t\\config.xbx";

function GetSectionTitles(x)
{
var a = x;
var info = new Settings;
info.file = "N:\\dashboards\\t\\config.xbx";

function GetSectionPaths(x)
{
var a = x;
var info = new Settings;
info.file = "N:\\dashboards\\t\\config.xbx";

function GetOrb()
{
var info = new Settings;
info.file = "N:\\dashboards\\t\\config.xbx";

function GetBGM()
{
var info = new Settings;
info.file = "N:\\dashboards\\t\\config.xbx";


"memoryx.xap"

function GetScoreInfo()
{
var info = new Settings;
info.file = "N:\\memoryx.xbx";



As for the default.xbe edit, I thing you gave me the wrong sorce code because the one you gave me did not have a 32 or a 36 in it. However I went through and changed all the Partition2 to Partion6. Hope this will work.

biggrin.gif It works from inside a folder.

What i did was this.

On Default.xap from Default.xip
CODE

info.file = "N:\\dash\\tHc\\config.xbx";


On xbe

CODE
Partition6\dash\tHc\tHcData



I launched it from Evox and booted fine , everything works. except the quicklaunch. is edited like the rest but doesnt work , it sents me back to Evox.

it didnt work cause dashboard is too long and breaks the xbe by editing data from it. so i used dash

Ok I have tried everyting you said the only thing I can think that is wrong is the default.xbe, mine is different then yours here is what mine looks like

\Device\Harddisk0\Partition6\dashboards\XODash

Hopefully this is the reason why I cant get it to work, if not o well I guess I will do with out the dash. Thanks for all the help.

wink.gif did you used the offset that i gave? if you have a fresh unmodified LITE xbe on the offset that i gave you should say :

CODE

Device\HardDisk0\Partition2\tHcData

user posted image



i changed it to:

CODE

Device\HardDisk0\Partition2\dash\tHc\tHcData

wink.gif what Hex editor are you using?

i use Hex Workshop

go to Edit , Go To, and type the offset , it will take you right to the location that you need to edit.
