Ok, this shit is NOT working for me , i dont know what the deal is, ive tried it like 15 times already. im using True_Blue_MsDash_Patcher_10027100 and Gcue's Blue Music Config Dashboard.exe. i did all the steps and edited config.xap to what it should be, then inserted the xbx's into the appropriate files. but theres something VERY wrong. heres a CLOSE UP screen shot (from my digi cam...) of what my blue dash looks like. as u can see, all there is ONLY one MICRO tab (3/4 of a tab actually) instead of 5 regular tabs...GCue and slushie both said my config.xap is configured correctly...i posted it just for the hell of it.. (slushie u never got back to me after i sent the screen shot.. ) i dont know what the problem is. someone please help!!!



the paths dont have the 2 backslashes for some reason (cause of the codes in the forum or something, i put em there but they keep disappearing..) but in my xap they are there....

anyone?!?!?! PLEASE HELP.....

I'm sure you already know this, but did you label your folders exactly as they appear in your config.xap file?

Also, have you tried just using "Gcue's Blue Music Config Dashboard.exe" without the True Blue patcher? The menu should still be functional.

sharpie00

yes, all folders labeled exactly the same. and no i havnt tried "Gcue's Blue Music Config Dashboard.exe". is that the patcher and the music pather thing in one or something?

actually my evox-x is on C: not C:Evolution X. but DeviceHarddisk0Partition2 should load it no? do i have to put it in a folder and re-edit my bios w/ xbtool or something? some1 said that it would be fine in c:....??

i checked for Gcue's Blue Music Config Dashboard.exe at the main place on irc but i couldnt find this file on the ftp.....??? i dying for help, someone please chime in anytime.....

**BUMP** HELP...

what is a MICRO tab? to you mean to size? i couldn't see the screenshot...

so could be that i got the same problem as you

i use BigGanja's SkunkDash

QUOTE

- deleted cfg, allready solved my problem

well sorry for the spam... as i thought some little stupid mistakes...

got it workin'

SkunkDash is Technically NoT ReaLLY my dash, well it is

BuT ALL PREPS to Gcue on the basis for it, as its based on Music Easy ConfiG

i just wanted to give a little something back really, the X-S has given me so much, i just wanted to say thnx and TriBuTE the SkunkDash to THEM Guys, i working away hard on some other projects ATM, not dash related -

I Just wanted to make an All in 1 Easy solution to those new to this stuff, and NoT use the auto add so ppl new to this StiLL have to learn a biT, hopefully then making them get into the dash and coming up with ideas, features and other cooL shit that this Dash is capable of.

I will continue to release skins etc for ppls viewing pleasure

GlaD ya like the SkunkDash BTW m8

PeaCE

so what the hell do i have to do to get this shit to work right?

I had the same exact problem. Spent 6 hours messing with it. What a pain.

SOLUTION:

**and this is the only solution, as I tried EVERYTHING else possible.

delete all the C files

get an original dashboard, unmodified, un-LIVEd, from elsewhere. Slayer's, a friend, somewhere. Do not use your original backup you have. Put it on your xbox and boot up like a factory install. Get a LIVE updated game (I used Splinter Cell) and update the dash from the game.

Now bring that dash up to your PC and apply the patches, one at a time. Blue first, then send back to the xbox and make sure it works. Baby steps gets it working.

well i got it to work using the THC Patch w/ the Dummy auto fill and not the TRUE BLUE patch. it now finally works. and i skinned it w/ the TRUE BLUE so now its working fine.

ok i dont get where to put the .xip files i made any tips?

True Blue was awesome... ahh im reminsicing, its where all the msdash modding started for me... I assume yr doing this for prosterity (check the date of the post above yrs -2003).

Anyways once you've resigned the xips, they go in the 10027100 folder with the other xips

be sure to check out the other versions (particularly tHc orange as it had some neat features the others didn't) thc lite, bsx, and finally UIX.
