For some reason, the music getting cut off doesn't happen on my xbox, but I added
extra check, nonetheless. Of course, I cannot test it. If you can tell me or send
me a sample that does that constantly, that'd be great.

UnleashX V0.39.0212 Build 570
Version: 0.39 Build 570
Status Alpha
Release Date: 02/12/2006
*Fixed FTP client should be more tolerant with 0 byte-sized file
*Fixed Right-aligned screen items were off by significant pixels
*Fixed Bug in title searching where it always search for icons and videos
everytime, making it appear somehow slower.
*Fixed Copy and Edit screen of Media Player always using the default
skin
*Added File manager sorting option: Name, Size, Type and Date. Press start
to activate
*Added Video mode: You can now change betwen PAL and NTSC. Setting is
persistent, meaning it won't reset on reboot. On bootup, you can
hold Back+LT to change to PAL, Back+RT to NTSC instantly.
*Added Video Settings: Widescreen/Normal, HDTV Modes are now persistent
and will affect programs that uses them, including MS dash.
*Added Storage Settings: Hard disk can be lock/unlock now.
WARNING: Not tested with apps that patches the ROM, or any of the
virtual drive stuff.
*Added Storage Settings: Full S.M.A.R.T. reporting, including but not limited
to HD Temp. Sometimes, you would see the current value greater than
the max recorded value. This is because I don't update the data in the
disk.
*Added RSS Newsfeed: Continuous settings. Makes RSS feeds like news ticker.
Defaults to On. When turned on, Newsfeed will ALWAYS scroll and no
custom text can be added to this item.
*Added RSS Newsfeed: Separator. You can customize the separator for each item.
*Added HDTemp, HDTempC, HDTempF to InfoText for HDD Temperature.
NOTE: Update is only available via Live Update option. I'm having problems connecting to Xbins but I will upload it there as soon as I can.
Edit by Jezz_X belowThis build is also now on Xbins
NOTE : It seems a small skinning bug has been introduced where if text items in the skin dosn't have a <width> section in them they will not be displayed like they did on previous builds, So if your skins are now missing text items this is the reason you will need to add the <width> parts to the skin.xml to display them again.
Hopefully unleashX will fix this so we don't have to update all skins

Xbins is down, it will be back soon, and i tried to download with live update but this is the first time i see it saying : Unexpected error occured while installing update. File may be corrupt or damaged.
Is there another server from where to download from liveupdate for the moment ?
Maybe rapidshare or simili because Xbins seems down for a (short?) moment

I had the same problem. I am thinking that the updater didn't like all the changes I've made to the config.xml (rearranging all the menus, assigning icons, etc.).
But I had an original RAR from the last build, so I FTP'd the files to my Xbox, opened Unleash, and I was able to update. I'll have to configure Unleash again from scratch, but who cares? I am happy to receive this new build! Thanks!

Feb 13 2006, 05:04 PM
Since i softmodded my xbox, the default.xbe of my build 565 was named Hackdash.xbe on C\Systeme\Dashboard, but the download didn't worked. So like the third man i downloaded a fresh build 565, put it in Apps, and download worked from this xbe (the default one and even with default.xbe renamed hackdash).
Maybe this is really a problem with olders config or items xml.. some tests will say it
First bug ?

Feb 13 2006, 05:32 PM
For the record the build im on at the moment is 38.0515a and it definetly insists it is up to date.
My dash is in the root of c and it named unleashx.xbe, not sure if that has anything to do with it. Xbins still down so guess I will have to wait a little longer to get my hands on the dash.......

hello to every one........i was wondering is it worth upgrading unleash x from its last version ((does this upgrade really make a diference?))))
and if it is worth upgrading how would i upgrade it?
((i have the file do i replace the unleash x files with the new one?))

Feb 13 2006, 06:01 PM
I tried just moving my build (515) to apps on E, but the auto update still not working from there. I have played with my dash a lot, but I do still have an untouched version of 515, I will put that on later and try from fresh, to identify if some changes I had made to the config are causing the problem, failing that I will obtain 565 or the newest build when i get chance.
BTW, nice one for dropping the update, its nice to have a dash thats still getting worked on.

No, the .xbe is a file that was built with the xdk, so uploading it is not an option.

When I try to view the information of some things, like games or apps, it seems to freeze everything but the music. The first two entrys and the very last entry in my games list lock everything up every time, with only one or two others in the list doing the same thing. I haven't messed with apps as much, but it seems to do pretty much the same thing.

Bios flashing would be good but as hes said, he doesn't wanna put any features in that can kill an xbox, and thats cool.
Anyway, thanks James! We all appreciate your time and effort!

Ok.....just after installing, the skin im using (modified a lot by me) is playing up. It is 'Xbliss', the menu is in the middle, video in the background and i put grey bars across top and bottom, half transparent with info on top, but since the upgrade, my text, all the info (free space, temps, song, date and time etc) don't work on that skin anymore! Others work fine, but why my skin, the one i always use??
And the hard drive temps, mines reporting 130, that must be in farenheight, cos its definately not that hot in celcius!

so here's an
Updated skin.xml file for
Project mayhem 3 Stats Mark3 and that version only ok people

Not really a bug, more of an ongoing thing:
Force PAL60 still doesn't work straight away. The tip from a user a little while back 'enable force pal60, run game in NTSC, IGR, then run in Pal'....runs NTSC games in PAL without sound or video skipping.
Just a heads up. It'd be really cool if I could run all my games in PAL at full speed.
Ex: running GTA3 NTSC in NTSC on my PAL television/system gives me smooth video but has a very noticeable overbrightness eg blacks appear as a very dark grey.
running in PAL gives me perfect colour but skipping audio/video (most noticable on the opening videos)
running in PAL with the above mentioned trick gives me PAL colour and no skipping.
Anyone running PAL and has the NTSC version of GTA3 or Vice City (San Andreas has no issues), give it a try.
edit: Thanks for the quick fix Jezz. Tis my fav skin.

For those getting the error when auto-updating:
Change from your current skin to the default one, then run the auto-update. You may want to reboot after changing skin (I did). After that, my auto-update ran fine, it rebooted twice like usual, and then I set it back to my normal skin without any problem.

Thanks!

I am not sure if this is a bug/issue or my mistake for not choosing correct settings.
In the new unleashx setup under video you can choose 480p, 720p, and 1080i. For the unleashx dash I like to use 720p cause it seems more responsive so I disable 1080i.
I use 1080i for my XBMC but when I disable it in unleashx I can no longer use it in media center or on any games I play. If I enable it, I can use it but the dash automaticlly picks 1080i.
Is there a way to manually choose what the dash is gonna use while leaving all HD options enabled? Thank you.

I'm having problems FTPing to my xbox, since it's connected to a router it's always got net a connection.
I turned it on today to FTP some stuff over and couldn't connect, FlashFXP says connection refused, checked the xbox and there was the new update message for unleashx so I updated it and was done in a couple of seconds. Tried FTPing but same error, reverted back to old version by deleting new build and renaming the old one back to unleash.xbe and still the same error.
I've done everything I can think of, reset my router set the xbox to DHCP, tried XBMC set to DHCP but no luck, the weird thing is that the router reports it as being present in the attached devices and it's still there when I refresh the page and another thing is when I ping the IP address of my xbox 192.168.0.3 I ping statistics which show packets:
sent = 4
recieved = 4
lost = 0 <0% loss>
So what's going on?
I can't even connect through explorer.

Those figures are about right. You can check you PC's HD and it will report nearly identical values for healthy disk, of course.

Auto-switch is still EEPROM safe, and so is the persistent setting. If anyone have noticed, it doesn't require an 'Unlocked' HDD to save/modify those setting.

Yes, modify the setting to your liking (via this dash or MS Dash) to suit other games/apps. Then MANUALLY edit config.xml and set the options you don't want to off. UnleashX will obey that setting.
