Hey Krayzie, just downloaded the 1.1 MA Beta 02. Haven't looked at it too much, but I did just use it to succesfully update my 1.0 to 1.1. All the new features are great, especially the customization. The upgrade to NKP11 is a good surprise and I think many people will enjoy the LED customization for both the main dash and alternate dash. The 1.0 to 1.1 upgrade is pure genious (I never even thought of that, I figured I would have to uninstall, then do 1.1). Glad to see that the upgrader works "cross-game". I installed 1.0 with Splinter Cell and upgraded to 1.1 with Mechassault. I like the fact that my E:/Dashboard folder doesn't get deleted during the update. (It did with the remove softmod option in 1.0, so I was always forced to remember to back it up) That's another thing I was going to say. When removing (uninstalling) the softmod, all apps, games, music, pictures, videos, etc. stay on the hard drive. They don't get deleted, which is a good thing. But why does the E:/Dashboard folder get deleted? This seems unnecessary, so correct me if I'm wrong. For people who continuously uninstall/reinstall softmods (just like to play around with stuff), it becomes a hassle remembering to back up my dashboard folder before I remove the softmod. Perhaps you could have that as an option, like when removing softmod.
Ask: Do you want to delete E:/Dashboard? Choose yes if you will not be installing this softmod again, choose no if you will reinstall this softmod later and like your dash the way it is now.

You might have a valid point for more experienced users like yourself there allthough the average user would not uninstall en reinstall all the time I think. An option to not remove the dash would be possible but then n00bs could easily be confused and mess up later installs after that. I always thought of the dash as part of a softmod in contrary to storage files like apps and games. A backup is also quickly made and replaced after the install.

Then, during installation of the softmod, before asking UnleashX or EvoX, do a simple, quick check to see if E:/Dashboard/default.xbe exists. If yes, proceed to:
An existing dashboard was detected, would you like to keep this dashboard or install a fresh new one?
If no dashboard is detected in E:/Dashboard/default.xbe, then obviously it would go to the UnleashX/EvoX menu.

In my believe such a thing is not possible with unleashx scripting. When a script actually executes (which is needed for such a checkup) you can not go back to option scripts. (all options need to be made prior to executing scipts). Then again you could implement an option in the install process but i really wanted to keep the install as simple as possible.

Again, this is just a question, and it would only really benefit people who uninstall and reinstall softmods frequently. It wouldn't be useful for the majority of users. And it isn't completely necessary either. It's extra work that really isn't needed or popular, but I'm just throwing ideas on the table. If you like it, cool. If you don't, no problem, at least I put it out there. It's a lot of config writing for a thing that would be used by so few people.
[/quote]
yup I understand your request and I'm glad you understand the installer is more intended for the average n00b user. The more experienced user could simply resolve such problems by himself

Glad to see that "Extras" is very much so improved over the last one. We can only hope that everybody uses your "Autoinstaller" rather than any other one. I have had a lot of people ask for help on AIM because they didn't know they weren't suppossed to use SlaYer's with a softmod. Maybe you should put that in writing at the end of the Softmod Installation. Thanks for choosing Krayzie's NDURE 1.1, now learn how to FTP and NEVER USE SLAYER'S OR ANY OTHER AUTOINSTALLER WITH THIS SOFTMOD. Use my Extras application.
[/quote]
I agree slayers can mess up some things but it only messes up when you take the wrong options. I could throw in an extra warning though. Now we only need the people to actually read it

Tribooting to xonlinedash is a new one, isn't it? I've never heard of doing it before. This is very useful for people who need to change their network settings for LIVE, and create/delete/copy/recover accounts.
[/quote]
both the dual livedash and tri live dash are new features evolved from Angerwounds fuckms app.
[quote]
Wow, looking at the config for the extras is crazy, gives me nightmares. Having to write all that out must have been a bitch, there's so much! I guess that's what you would have to go through for all the customization though. About the Extras:
Will it always be password protected?
[/quote]
I put the password in there since from the extras you have certain abilities that little kids or other person should not touch. The user could remove or edit the password in the script.
[quote]
Very nice to see you made your own sort of Autoinstaller.
Glad to see the test and replace dashboard function, as this is the big one most people end up deleting.
Noticed a folder in your Extras App titled "fuckms"

LMAO. That's some funny shit. You might want to change that, if only for common courtesy.
[/quote]
as mentioned before fuckms was an app made by Angerwound. Will change the folder's name to avoid confusion.

In the Extras Application/extras (Launch Extras) the config.xml has two typos that I noticed. In the multiboot list. For the Altdash boot locations. For both dual-altboot and tri-altboot.
Notice the first boot order for the altdash is presented in the message/infobox as default,xbe and not default.xbe. (Just change the commas to periods)
[/quote]
will fix it

Another suggestion for the .NFO file. Make it a README.TXT file instead of an .NFO file because most people not familiar with software releases will just double-click the .NFO and it would bring up "Not a valid Information file" Even though many of us know to open it up in wordpad, some may not.
[/quote]
There will be an nfo for basic information and a readme.txt for usage information.

I was hoping for the option or ability to install UDDAE in the extras app, but I didn't see it anywhere. Could this possibly be included later on? I loved SCEEE, and as far as I know, MS still has not fixed/looked for this exploit. Am I correct? If anything, it would be good for non-Live users or for people who just rent the games.
[/quote]
Even though I like technical aspect of the UDDAE I don't see any use for it. The user now has all functions it needs for live or non-live usage all without the use of a game.

Ok, this is another future request. I have chipped Xboxes, TSOP'ed Xboxes, and softmodded Xboxes many, many times. When a friend wants his Xbox modded, they usually ask for a softmod, because they don't want to pay for a chip. Everybody comes back a week later with a new, bigger hard drive in hand. That's fine and dandy, upgrading the hard drive is no biggie, I know how to use XboxHDM and everything. The only problem with upgrading the hard drive is the marriage theory. A lot of people have Xbox LIVE. So, in order to upgrade the hard drive and keep from getting banned, the EEPROM must be updated to one that has never been on LIVE before. Not too easy to do with NDURE's ShadowC drive and virtual EEPROM. So is there anyway to make a "Switch to Professional Mode" in which the user would have full access to the hard drive and access to the eeprom. You could hide it very well, deep within the extras, and require a password for it, and many warnings so that people don't break their xbox. I would just like an easier way to upgrade the EEPROM with a softmod.
[/quote]
Thought about this a couple of times. Will add this feature.

Ok, I guess I wrote a little bit, but I haven't even really looked into all of the release yet. What I have tried is working perfectly and I just wanted to throw out some suggestions to see if there was anything you liked. Many of my suggestions are personal, and probably would not be used by the average person, so they aren't really necessary by any means. Congratulations on another fine release, hope you reply to my questions. Thanks.

you've helped big time.
much appreciated
