**** Change Log ****
UnleashX V0.39.0528 Build 584
Version: 0.39 Build 584
Status Alpha
Release Date: 05/28/2007
*Fixed Problem displaying Zipped skins properly.
*Fixed Black color in images are rendered as transparent.
*Fixed Dash lockup when scrolling up in Game Manager.
*Fixed MP3 files are now playable directly from USB FAT32 devices.
*Changed z-buffer bit depth to 16-bit from 32-bit to decrease
memory footprint.
*Added "Compress Texture" in video settings. Default is Off/No/False.
Setting this to true enables the Dash to use Texture compression
for big images, decreasing the memory requirement to display those
in exchange for a lesser quality image. You can set this to "Yes" if
you are using a skin with lots of videos/images
*Added "Browse Folder" in Music manager. You can now select folders
containing MP3 and WMA files and the dash will queue them
*Added WMA playback support for ISO9660 disc/USB FAT32 devices.
Note: Files are copied to a temp folder. File streaming in XACT
appears to be broken so I can't play from the media source directly.
Note: Live Update server will only work with V0.39.0515A Build 583
Those still on 572/583 are encouraged to upgrade to this new version as this contains several critical fixes. This build uses significantly less memory than the previous versions too.

I was getting them via auto-update, but now that it's under a new header, I have to manually-update.........and I can only find the config.xml........the one thing I shouldn't replace.
I just need to know where the default.xbe goes, thank you.

just rename it as evoxdash.xbe or unleashx.xbe or xboxdash.xbe ... (check your bios wiki) and place it in C:\ on your xbox (or wherever you store your dashboards)

Admittedly i no longer use UnleashX. I had been a faithful user until the stall in releases. I switched over to xbmc as my dash.
However, I still love the update. Fantastic as a backup dashboard. Big thanks for the continued work.
A word to anyone not interested in the media playback contained in xbmc. It gets no better than UX. Hands down the best gaming dash out there.

its my main dash. its awful close but xbmc gets the nod as best dash cuz it can do so much more stuff. but this is a very close second, and is my default dash. i like how easy it is too use

anyone else have an issue with a changed skin not saving on reboot? I set my skin to PM3, looks/works great, but it resets to the default skin on reboot. clean install with stock config file

I guess I don't have to worry about updating UX anymore, since that advice just killed my softmod. Where do I go to learn how to replace one file after getting the unnumbered error?

believe what you want to do is to start your xbox with the disc of what ever game you used to softmod already in the drive. If you can get the game to start, you can load up the exploit again and get FTP access from it.

Sweet, will have to run the update. While I never noticed any memory issues with the dash it's nice to see that it has been tightened up.
UX, any chance copy/paste ability in the text editor is being looked at as a future enhancement? Even if it was only within one file (i.e., can't copy from one file, close it, open a different file and then paste) it would be a great addition.

Nope, still the error. Should I just cut my losses and reformat?

May 29 2007, 07:22 PM
@Matt Devo,
Are you sure you are actually saving the skin, as opposed to setting it temporarily? After selecting the skin (PM3), press "A" again or "Start" to save it. If that doesn't work, I guess you have the faulty config.xml, in which case, you can delete (or rename) it and start over again.
@stanley87,
No. A 30GB iPod has been reported to work. My 60GB FAT32 formatted mobile HDD is *partially* working as well.
@Whoopin,
I'll see how this can be done
@blademaster591,
Are you looking at the right place? I'm pretty sure it's there.
@Reese Kaine,
You should consult in the softmod forum. I think depends on the softmod you use, the files are stored differently. Some are in E:\Dashboards, but that's the farthest I'm accustomed to softmod. What particular error are you getting? Dashboard error, or error in the dash, or what?
Don't reformat, by the way. You will render you Xbox useless.

I'm just getting a general "Needs servicing" message, no error in the corner, even with an original disc inserted. I think it was the Ndure hack, because I remember seeing Splinter Cell being run when the local techie was working on it a few years back.
It might already be useless, since the drive is a replacement HD, I no longer have FTP access, nor do I have access to a second modded Xbox (Actually, I do have access to one, but the guy charges $50 per job, no matter how small, even if it's just to replace one measly file).
I agree, this portion should be moved to an appropriate forum, I just felt the need to address what happened first. Thank you for understanding.

@Jish,
Menu are controlled by config.xml. If you replaced it with the one included in the official distro, then, Emulator is not included. You can opt to delete/rename config.xml and start again.
@~50~,
Versions older than 582(583) is not compatible with the live update server. You can directly upgrade to 584 by replacing the xbe.
@Reese,
Did you unplug your xbox after you did something with it? I think the box is trying to set the clock, but couldn't find xboxdash.xbe. It could also be something else. What/where exactly is the file that you replaced? What was the filename?

The file replaced was xboxdash.xbe on the C:\ . After I got the advice that I needed to replace the dash file (Kinda vague, ain't it?), I looked at the only hint as to what was the UX dash XBE in items.xml, and I read what wasn't the UX dash file (C:\msdash.xbe), and replaced the other XBE that was there. I didn't install the dash originally, so I had no clue where to look.
I feel like I'm wasting everyone's time with this, so I'm going to shut up now.
unleashx
May 29 2007, 11:22 PM
You did replaced the wrong file. xboxdash.xbe, I believe, is needed by softmod, hence the error you are getting. I believe, program such as XBHDM will be able to help you, but don't quote me on that. My knowledge with Softmod is quite limited, so I can't help you with that really. Your best bet is to consult with the softmod people. This can't be the first time that it happened.

I have a softmodded box, I updated in the same way I always do, but it seems that my box is no longer working. I just ftp'd the new unleashx files and reset, but it came up to the ms boot and froze there. Could someone point me in the direction of a fix for my mistake? Thanks in advance -mike
edit: Could this be a result of replacing the config.xml file? I may have replaced it.

I had to go back to dash 565 with A.I.D. in order for my ftp to work again. any ideas on what else i should do???
installing just the xbe for v584 apparently does not allow me to ftp correctly.

Soooo...I'm another noob trying to update my UnleashX to current (running v.0.37 now) -- I've downloaded the current version, copied over the config.xml & replaced the xboxdash.xbe via FTP, shut down everything, reboot and my XBOX comes up and shows that I'm still running v 0.37.
Is there a little more to things than just putting those two file in my C drive?

my guess is your running a softmod and just replaced the virtual copy of your msdash
when it boots go into system info Y button and scroll right to the bottom and it will tell you exactly where it is and what you need to replace

OK I got it updated and now replaced the config file with my previous before update. wanted to keep the way i did the menu. now the ftp from pc to xbox doesn't work again. any ideas?
MoonTar
Jun 3 2007, 02:52 AM
I don't think I'm doing this right. Do I just replace the default.xbe in E:\dashboard\? I did try a different way, but when I rebooted the Xbox, the sound in the main menu was gone, and I couldn't play games. Whenever I put a game in, it just came up as Video. I'm back to 565 now.

I know this sounds stupid, but i have been waiting for the option to CYCLE the LED on the front with all colors.... can this come out in the next update? Like UnleashX is awesome.... this seems to be the only thing needed attention in my mind hahaha
Stupid, yet simple.... look forward to seeing it in the next release....

when i installed the build my ftp access was not working with the old config file. I had to use the new builds config in order for it to work properly.. So just in case anyone elses ftp stops working make sure you put the new config file in as well..

Umm, i just uploaded the xbe and volla!, it worked... i donno why you guys are having such issues with FTP etc. One thing i have noticed, is xbox has little "hick-ups" while play music at boot up.... other then that... very smooth stuff... im downloading the XDK so i can make unleashX cycle all the colors of the LED on the front....
