Enable/Disable boost mode.

Or is there a way to disable it now??

Well let's say I have the friend who let's say is mildly retarded and has no clue how to up a game to his box...I just thought would be cool if I could FTP into his box over net and use the load iso feature to do it for him.

Ripping a game from someone else's box to your PC works fine though, just can't Load ISO to his xbox..soon as it sees ava it goes into boost......never thought to try it with evox, but then I don't think Qwix works with other dash's does it?

(You may be thinking ...well if he can set up FTP to Xbox for me he can't be all that retarded..well it was me at his house setting it up so I could get in...)

* avalaunch.xml editor
* option to add "(REGION)" after game names. makes it easier for me to know when to use videomode switcher (which would be nice to have built into avalaunch)
* function to "clean" games to regain hdd space. remove not needed stuff, like the demos part which is on some games.


That's it for now. Thanks for some cool software. Life just got easier

I don't know if this would be difficult or not, but the ability to transfer my avi's and mp3's through Qwix would be awsome. I like the interface and the Games Manager, but a Software and Multimedia Manager would be sweet too.. just a though..

This program will make me an Avalaunch user.. Great work.. Actually.. it's awsome..

Thanks..

I have tried out Qwix now and is very nice, BUT i miss a feature a lot that is included in "XBOX ISO Transfer 1.0"
and that is the function to extract ISO from RAR and then transfer. Most of the ISOs is stored in RAR format to save space
and I then have to manually extract the ISO to be able to transfer it to the box with Qwix.
With XIT I can just select the RAR-file and it will extract/transfer in one go without further handling.
Due to this missing feature, I rather stick to XIT. But if it is included, I will most probably make Qwix my main
software for handling the XBOX.

Best regards
MrZaZ

I must agree with the xtract ISO from RAR. I would like to keep my apps I use to a minimum. But for now I will be switching between XBOX ISO Transfer 1.0 and Qwix.

Keep up the GREAT work.

Arbitrarily uploading whatever files through boost mode..

It'd be nice to be able to transfer a buttload of roms of mp3s, or an iso thats already extracted, whatever..

Some kind of tsr or service running on the server pc would be sweet. Then I can initiate iso creation / extraction from avalaunch file manager itself. Hit the start button on a folder; have an option much like Add to queue - "Create / Extract ISO" Settings for pc configurable in avalaunch.xml.
I'm sure you can see the obvious problem - I'm lazy and I have to get up to touch the PC.

it's already been said and ill say it again rar support.. i only use XBOX ISO Transfer 1.0 cuz it has great rar support and nice speeds... if qwix had rar support id undoubtedly start using this instead. i think the xml ediotr would be an easy enough nice feature too.... great work on this app.

Indeed rar support is a great idea i think, also the ability to upload any kind of file and not just iso's would be great, this boost mode makes a big difference to file transfers over my network.

Change the clock icon to correspond with file activity,, eg. make the clock hands turn while transferring,

or just change it to a permanant 4:20

Great work guys!!!

Some requests:

- Please add an option to create a new folder when extracting an ISO.

- Display the tool used for the creation of ISO files (not only for Qwix, but also for other ISO creators if it is possible)

- Add an option to create MenuX multigame-discs (using MXM as default.xbe)

- Add the possibility to transfer folders/files

anomousny,

I really don't think that MXM will be our choice for multi disk creation... It will be avalaunch as the multi disk creation. Since this app was developed by a Avalaunch Team member.

thanks

The ability to browse through games on the pc harddrive....still in iso form and also "un iso'd" that would be good! oh and also...if you do make a new one....if its not to much trouble (no sarcasm here) but let it keep my start tray for Win98SE....id be happy to beta test it on my system

If you are going to use avalaunch, I would recommend some changes:

- Fix the problem causing crashes when starting games/apps (led turns and stays red)
- Add an option to turn on antialiasing for the fonts
- Add an option to turn off version information, load display, IP and time
- Turn off all the extra featues (FTP, News, Pic of the Day, etc.) by default for multidisk menus

ability to download files from xbox to pc


using evox dash in boost mode

Any Chance of Adding a "Batch Mode" with XISO creation ? Ive got about 40 folders on my PC Hard Drive that i would like as Xiso`s ? Im well to lazy to do each one on there own

Cheers

Great App !!!

Add the abiliity for Qwix to send a "site shutdown" FTP command to AVA after the ISO(s) are sent to the XBox.
Just add a checkbox on the ISO/job transfer status screen saying something like "Shutdown XBox after completion. Line up a bunch of ISO's to transfer and go to bed. Qwix will shut it down when its done.

Also it would help out in some situations if Qwix could send a command to AVA to either have it reboot or refresh the games listing when its finished sending the ISO's to the XBox.

Qwix already supports boost mode - the EvoX ppl has to implement stuff into their beloved dash as well.

We'll give them the protocol spec's if they need it...

time for you to get in contact

This request might be a little out there but I'll throw it in the mix anyways. If your planning on making it a full FTP client anyways it would be nice if I could go directly from xbins with a file to my xbox HD. Say I wanted to get the new xsnes9x emu. I would go thru the normal mIRC step but rather than opening up FlashFXP or Cute I'd open Qwix. Select the file for download and it would download the rar to my PC's HD in the first step. Next it would uncompress the rar and put it in the selected directory on my xbox's HD. Granted the rar file structure would have to be setup properly so as not to have a file in a file named the same .ie. xsnes9x\xsnes9x\default.xbe wouldn't show up good in many auto add menu's.

Is this even feasable or am I just thinking outta my ass?

I thought Qwix was an ISO tool....not an xbins FTP tool.

That's what Qwix is now. See this is the part of the forum where users throw ideas about features they would like to see implemented in the program. Devenic already said he plans on making it transfer other files not just iso's. I'd also like to be able to access xbins and other FTP servers as well. uncompressing rar and zip on the fly would just be gravy.

I was about to suggest what digiblur suggested

send site shutdown command!

I would love it if Qwix could patch a full ISO on the fly, it has the XBE patcher, but to not extract would be very nice. I would like to move altogether from Craxion, since the new version crashes on me half the time when I try to patch an ISO.
I know it will patch the .xbe when it uploads, but it would be a beautiful thing if I could patch the iso without uploading.

thx for the great app.. makes life so much easier!

what i would like

when you save the game list could we have a option to save with the icon pictures

the game list is very cool just would make it look better thats all

these would be great.In next qwix it would be great if u add multigame disk tool and the iso with more than one game can be creat on the fly from the xbox hd.you could add suport for queue tasks ex I queue these tasks
1-creat an multigame iso with ex F:/Games/Soul Calibur 2 and F:/Games/THPS4
2-creat another multigame iso with another games
3-creat another multigame iso with another games
4-shutdown xbox and pc
If Quix could do this it would be GREAT,I queue this tasks them go to bed and when I wake up the isos are created and my pc and my xbox are turned off

Making it a full features FTP app may be going a little far. Right now QWIX is cool becuase of its functionality and ease of use. If you start adding things that the "average" xbox newb can't handle, you'll end up with a lot of "problems". (read: idiots don't take the time to figure out what theyre doing before they try to do it, then complain when it doesn't work).

Granted, I like the idea of being able to access XBINS directly from QWIX, then choose to download and install directly to the XBOX, no need to store the file on my HD, extract it, then upload it.

However this could ultimately lead to a reliance on XBINS; if they were ever to be shut down, for whatever reason, that reliance could prove troublesome. I have proposed previously in the Avalaunce suggestions thread a solution that I feel could aleviate any potential problems like that. I have thought a great deal about it, and I honestly think the following "solution" would be in the best interests of the entire community.

Develop a decentralized file sharing system using principles similar to what torrent/overnet/freenet uses, however with one major difference. The files available for download are released/controlled by their authors. A validation key system could be implemented allowing authors to make files available on the network, maintaining their own directories with the latest versions and older versions for compatability/archival. End users will be given a simplified, structured interface that allows them to "browse" to the file they want installed (maybe a directory structure, just keep it simple to find the latest version of the exact file they are looking for). The file/s, once selected would then be downloaded from multiple sources and, depending on if support via the dash was there, auto-installed. End users could only "share" file/s they have previously downloaded, this would prevent users from contaminating the shared files with (porn, games, fakes, virii, other bs you find on other file sharing networks). Basically, what I'm getting at is "censored, protected file sharing". Bandwidth "shouldn't" be an issue due to the lack of unneeded network trafic and oversized files.

The only "real" problem I foresee with this situation is "who" determines "who" is a legitimate author making legitimate apps. I think the community as a whole could police people releasing crap by simply not downloading it, but how do you prevent someone from releasing unneeded content on the network without at least some kind of predetermined panel of trusted administrators handing out the "author" keys. Granted, I don't see how that would be much different then what XBINS does now. They ultimately choose what content does/doesn't get on their server.

Anyway, there are a few "kinks'" that could use working out, but otherwise I think its a pretty solid concept.

batch mode for creating iso's....I'm really lazy!
when creating iso's from xbox's d:(dvd/orig game) autoname the .iso file wiht the name of the game from the .xbe
(did I mention I was lazy :-)

Figure out why iso creation of games from directly from the xbox d:(dvd/orig game) takes for freaking ever!...(did I mention I'm also impatient :-)

and on the above point, games like Enter the matrix can go all night, only getting to 24%, then socket erroring out...

I wouldn't be opposed to some e: folder handling for applications also...
The thing I like about qwix is it's speed optimizations....I want all the bandwidth available, to be allocated for pc iso ->xbox, or xbox -> pc iso...and the resulting iso to be 100% all the time guaranteed to work...

I just want to add, that qwix is awesome!....by far the best app so far, get the rar support, and the other things I've mentioned...and man, what an app :-)

Batch ISO Creation, ie. selecting multiple folders from your xbox to create iso's of each

Tiny request (if it hasnt been done already):
Estimated time remaining

I am most likely going to get bashed for this but here goes...How about porting Qwix to other Oses ie. OSx and Linux. Right now I have to boot into evox to use xiso. For some reason it will not connect to Avalaunch. If there is a fix for this problem that would make me very happy, but to have all the features of Qwix would make me happier still

Thanks

Under "scan titles" it would be nice to have a "Scan all" instead of having to go through the 8 folders I have. Just an idea which should be simple to implement

tnx for a cool prg

Ive thought about that too

Why don't implement a mechanism for upload any types of file, not only iso?

So we can use the boost mode whit all files

so basicly you want boost moded ftp?

sounds great...

but will it increase teh speeds over say flashfxp?

anyway, it whould be a great idea since it would be free... the team, if they wanted, could throw in some code to make it work with only ava...

FTP Upload of selected files in the ISO image
or FTP Upload only new/different files from the ISO
(no always upload all)

MD5 Option also in local (PC) ISO images or files/folders Like in Manage Titles

BTW, eXcelent Work!!

A very simple feature: a button in "Manage titles on Xbox drive" that delete all savegames that haven't the game on hard disk

what i would like to see is:

- "shutdown xbox" button.
- file extract option in iso browser.
- delete folder when deleting games from hdd within qwix.
- some feedback when patching xbe's (see craxtion's xbe patcher).

As mentioned before, ablility to shutdown/restart xbox xbox when finished.. maybe even option to turn off PC when done.

And the transfer "whatever-file" function would be great
And if thats implemented, then why not add support for auto-renaming files to XFS format at the same time. (Basically for transferring mp3:s)
That would really be great to have when transferring lotsa files w long filenames.
Sidenote. My ava hangs after transferring ~10 long filenames in FlashFxp. Never had prob w Qwix Iso transferring though...

a Linux port. There is absolutly no tool for the xbox gamer which use linux as a desktop on his PC.

Multigame support is a must! I use qwix all the time since it's the best program to create isos in my opinion, the user interface is the most straight forward and easiest of all iso programs out there...

however, before I build an iso I have to mess w/mxm. I'm running Morden's Audio Hack V3 and since he's switched to MXM i've become addicted to the video features. Making multigame disks right now is tedious - an option to calculate which games you could fit on a disk would be nice too - there are some freeware tools out that will calculate how you can split up folders. I used them to figure out how to backup 35GB of MP3s onto CDRs(most cds ended up almost completely full).

I don't know how feasible it would be to have an option to combine ISOs to accomplish the task. Also I don't know if there's any ill will between the Avalaunch team and Ben from MXM, but CDX could be used as an alternative instead or maybe an Avalaunch lite could be used on the multigame disks.

MULTIGAME DISKS OR BUST

CRC checking during "Create ISO from ftp" when using Avalaunch.

This would be the end-all-feature in my book. All the suggestions I've read are awesome, especially multi-disk mode (mxm)! I do sometime use Craxtion just for that!

However, I create my backups by ftp'ing directly from the D: and I have to test them because sometimes they don't work and I have to redo them. Seemingly copying to the harddisk then ftping is always reliable, but I have the original 8 gb drive and it fills quickly. Since you've got the software on both sides - when avalaunch and qwix are talking - avalaunch should do a crc and send it to qwix, which would then check it's recieved file and reget it if there is a problem. I think this would be a killer feature - I know I'd love it, and it shouldn't be too hard to implement using simple .crc files and a naming convention. If people don't want to add the tiny amount of time for it, it could be a checkbox option.

Your software rocks! Thank you!!!

Automatic deletion of unwanted common file. You know which one i'm talking about, dashupdate.xbe, the damn Xdemos folder which sometimes get as big as 1.5Gig. or just give an approximative size of an iso without the files in it, it would help for those who makes multi game DVD

The onething at the moemnt i'd like to see in qwix which isn't there- is the ability to read the xbox dvd-r backups from the pc's dvdrom drive like you can with xiso 115, the author of that prog has released the source as he's not gonna be supporting it anymore- was wondering whther it would be possible to lift that from his source possibly?

Actually, there's no need to lift anyone's source. I've already added the DVD PC backup reading feature into Qwix, so it will appear in the next public release, whenever that happens. No timeframe for that yet.

Nice one devenic- looking forward to the day i have just one iso tool instead of the current 3- Qwix, xiso and simplexiso.

oh yeah one other thing if it isn't already on the possible feature list possibly:

Could there be support for iso extraction/ftping straight from rar's?

thanks guys keep up the great work

adding a wizard to make a multi-game disc. Simliar to Craxtion.

great program overall thus far

i really like quix, thanx for that great app!
but there is one thing i'm missing:
show me the free remaing space on xbox hd in the "manage game titles" section!
i think that wouldn't be very hard to implement.. thanx

EDIT: just read that you didn't do that because every dash checks the free space differently:) no prob
