Here Is A new Tutorial for updating your memory menu to load games.
ADDED: It now searches for the folder and if it doesn't find it, it displays an error message(instead of locking up and forcing you to reboot our xbox)
It now allows you to load applications.
IN ADVANCE: thnx to dfunked for letting me know how to search files

NOTE: use an unedited memory3.xap
STEPS:
1.) extract default.xip
2.) open memory3.xap
3.) find:

CODE

var bSavedGameGridActivatePending;

(should be fourth or fifth line in file)
4.) under that line paste:

CODE

DEF theConfig Config

5.) find:

CODE

function InitMemoryMenuItems()

6.) replace that entire function with:

CODE

6.) find:

CODE

function DoMemoryItemMenuCommand()

7.) replace that entire function with:

CODE

8.)find:

CODE

function OnEnumeratingTitlesEnd()

9.) replace that entire function with:

CODE

function OnEnumeratingTitlesEnd()
{
var c = theFilesMenu.children[0].children[0];
var cheese = false;
cheese = theConfig.NtFileExists( "\\Device\\Harddisk0\\partition6\\HDDLoader\\cheese\\default.xbe" );
CloseMessage();
EnterMemoryFiles();
}

10.) save, rebuild, resign, and transfer to xbox

NOTE: This still requires you to either rename the folder that the game is in, or ad an "else if" statement to load a game(same goes for applications)
NOTE2: After doing this when you first select your memory device, the "Searching for game saves" box will appear for a couple more seconds than usual. This is because theConfig that I added uses this time to initialize itself.

one more thing, for games such as 007 NightFire that have trademark symbols, if you ftp to your xbox, go to the E drive, go to udata, and find the folder that corresponds to that game. You can open the TitleMeta.xbx in a TEXT editor, and remove the special characters. then save, and replace with the new file, and the name will be changed in the memory menu.

EXAMPLE: The Original 007 Nightfire TitleMeta.xbx looks like:
TitleName=007™: NightFire™

You can change it to look like this:
TitleName=007 NightFire

NOTE: If you're wondering why I'm posting this, it is to help with my tutorial above.

Building once again on DLUX code, you can further enhance your game loading needs by providing a different way to launch the games. Leaving in everything that DLUX identified in his initial memory Launch mod, make the following change to allow you to launch a game by pushing the "Y" button while viewing the first level memory saves menu (the one where you push up or down to scroll through the various saves).

Look for:

CODE

and add this directly after that:

CODE

function OnYDown()
{
PlaySoundA();
Startload();
}

Thanks again DLUX

after bugging the piss out of Xtech and myself i finally got the AskQuestion to work in the main menu (in this case for power off) if any of you have tried it ya know it would pop up the question box - but no matter what you chose it'd just close the box and do nothing. i guessed the prob was that we were using a function from one joy def in another so i added a couple of functions outside the joy def's and what'dya know - it works

change the function names and the launch path to suit your needs

in default.xip/default.xap - place these after the inline def's.....

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
function PowerOff()
{
AskQuestion(theTranslator.Translate("Power off Xbox ?"), "ShutDown()", "", 1);
}

function ShutDown()
{
launch("shutdown.xbe", "(correct path to your shutdown.xbe)");
}
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

and then this in the main menu joy functions - use whatever button def you want - except a of course

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
function OnBDown()
{
theMainMenu.children[0].children[0].select_pod_HL.children[0].appearance.material.param = 1;
theGamesMenuIn.Play();// i just like this sound better than sound a hehe
PowerOff();
}
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

lame little code to prevent games on dvd from autolaunching when you stick the dvd in..

kill me if its been posted already

in default.xip -> default.xap

find

CODE

else if (discType == "Title")
{
theLauncherLevel.GoTo();
}

change to

CODE

else if (discType == "Title")
{
return;
}

And heres Code to make X launch the game in the drive

this was done using the files in the easymusicconfigv3 thing....

find

CODE

function OnYDown()
{
TellUser("Dashboard brought to you by Voltiac, Dunny, Gcue, NikeJustDoItOk?, Vulgusprofanum, Dfunked, Dlux, and a little help from MS!", "");
}

add below it

QUOTE

function OnXDown()
{
theDiscDrive.LaunchDisc();
}

Here is an update for those people using my tutorial to load games from the memory menu (aka the save games menu), all this does is allow you to use X and Y to scroll through the menu faster.

1.) open memory3.xap inside default.xip
2.) find the first occurence of:

CODE

function OnMoveDown()

3.) above that line paste:

CODE

4.) change the value of Itemskipped to however many menu items you want to skip.
5.) save, insert, and resign.

Dunny

Aug 25 2003, 07:20 PM

CODE

ex: function ShowKeyboard(strTitle, strEdit, strDoneFunction, strCancelFunction)

CODE

function OnWhiteDown()
{
ShowKeyboard(theTranslator.Translate("Rename Item"), theTranslator.Translate("The Menu Var"), "GotoSaveFunction()", "");
}

anyone got any further ideas?
which is currently the best submenu?

I wanted to try adding the keyboard into a menu so we can alter menu names from the xbox ... anyone tried this?

Ok here's the deal:

No Remote Hack (YOU STILL NEED A DONGLE!!!)

Just got into Xbox Dash Modding yesterday, read thru all the code snippets in here and I haven't found this little gem yet, sorry if its already been posted elsewhere or you think I'm a dumbass for stating the obvious...Changing one line can give you full controller access in the DVD player. Useful for people who frequently "misplace" their DVD Remote

Change this line in dvd.xap:

QUOTE

theDVDJoystick.enableGamepad = false;

to this:

QUOTE

theDVDJoystick.enableGamepad = true;

Woah! It's huge! But...it works great!
Buttons are as followed (but are redefinable of course!)

Digtal Control Pad (Arrows)
A (Select Button)
Y (Menu)
X (Display)
B (Haven't figured it out. Sumbit findings plz!)
R-Trigger (Chapter Forward)
L-Trigger (Chapter Back)
White (Pause, press again to unpause)
Black (Stop..However can't figure out how to resume!)

Tested in 4920 only

Hope some1 finds this useful!
Keep up the hacking!

simple autostart DVDPLAYER and remove the unknown disk nag screen for mp3 disks or other unknownd datadisks

in default.xip / default.xap

else if (discType == "Video")
{
launch("default.xbe", "\Device\Harddisk0\Partition6\apps\DVDPlayer"); //path to the dvdplayer and xbe
}
else if (discType == "Title")

Post edit : It works correctly now

Special Thanks to karnax from the http://www.gueux.net forum for his help ! This code allow to change randomly the skin.

Here is the code to include in default.xap :

Cut this DEF :

CODE

DEF theBackground Background
{
skyColor 0 0 0
backdrop ImageTexture { url nomBackground[i-1] }
}

and paste that :

CODE

DEF myBackgroundList Group
{

children
[
DEF background0 Background{ skyColor 0 0 0 backdrop ImageTexture { url "xboxbg.xbx" }}
DEF background1 Background{ skyColor 0 0 0 backdrop ImageTexture { url "xboxbg2.xbx" }}
]
}

function loadBackground() {
var n = Math.round(Math.random() * (myBackgroundList.children.length() - 1));
myBackgroundList.children[n].isBound = true;
}

Add this var : var BeginUpdate;
just after this : var dvdx2path;

then remplace the UpdateMainMenu() function with that :

CODE

In the control DEF theMainJoystick Joystick, add this code :

CODE

function OnRightThumbDown() {
setBeginUpdate();
UpdateMainMenu();
}

Here is the code to include in config.xap :

At the beginning ( just after "use5ButtonMainMenu = true;" ), add this line :

CODE

BeginUpdate = 1; // 1 = update xboxbg.xbg at beginning; 0 = do not.

Don't forget to add xboxbg2.xbx in the default.xip.

How to use :

* Set BeginUpdate to 0 in the config.xap to launch with xboxbg.xbx all the time. If you set beginUpdate to 1, it will randomly change the background.
* Moreover ( in the 2 cases ), you could change the background by pressing the Right Thumb.
* You could add more backGround than just 2 ! Name then how you want, include them in the default.xip and change the "DEF myBackgroundList Group"

Have Fun and, please, excuse me for my bad english.

This mod is for the 10027100 dash with the XboxDash-Hacked 10027100 v1.1-THC.rar patch applied, it may work on others, but you might find code in slightly different places.

I have added a message box popup for when you insert a game. This will ask if you want to turn your modchip off to play on xbox live. It's designed for matrix owners with their chip in mode 3. If you say yes it will reboot & your chip will be off. If you say no your xbox will boot the game with the chip on. If you press B then it will take you back to the dashboard.
Used in conjunction with a mod bios that doesn't boot d:default.xbe this would be a complete solution to not being able to boot accidently into a game with the modchip on.

In deafult.xap in default.xip search for
else if (discType == "Title")

then change the code for that else if to

CODE

else if (discType == "Title")
{
AskQuestion(theTranslator.Translate("\n"+" Play on Xbox Live?"), "rebootnow()", "launchdisc()", 1);
}

then paste the following above the line
DEF theTranslator Translator

CODE

NB You will need the reboot.xbe on your harddrive, point it to the partition it is on (F = partition6 here)

Then search for DEF theMessageJoystick Joystick

and replace the function OnBDown() with

CODE

This will make button B act as a return to dash, rather than an answer No to the questions.

You should then be done.

PS - double slashes where you see 1 slash in the pathnames as always

Since I got sick and tired of getting up, just to turn off the console when I finish watching a DVD movie, I worked this little code to mod the default.xip/dvd.xap

Search for OnInfo and change from this:

CODE

function OnInfo()
{
if(theDVDPlayer.domain != 3) // TT_DOM
{
OperationProhibited();
return;
}

theOSD.visible = 1 - theOSD.visible;
if (theOSD.visible == false)
SetStatusText("");
}

To this:

CODE

To turn off the console, you MUST press the STOP button, then the INFO button, and that’s it.

Enjoy

ok well this might already be posted but im to lazy to read so check this out

CODE

function OnBlackDown()
{
ShowClock();

}
function OnWhiteDown()
{
HideClock();
}

what this does is either hides the clock or shows it obviously
black button shows it
white button hides it

note: i just added those to the black and white buttons because they werent doing anything at the moment so make sure they are empty

Max75

Jan 18 2004, 06:36 PM

This is a really good idea QUIKSILVERMALE to make the clock visibility "interactive"
This code only use 1 button on your controller ;)

CODE

function OnWhiteDown()
{
if(bClockVisable == false)
{
ShowClock();
}
else if(bClockVisable == true)
{
HideClock();
}
}

My first line of code on XBox:)

JbOnE

Jan 20 2004, 01:38 AM

it's already "interactive"
hold the right trigger and press b and that will toggle clock on/off screen

Jan 20 2004, 02:24 AM

who has the best tut for me to learn how to do all this?

Sonikku

Jan 20 2004, 07:55 AM

Here's one that I came up with that was usefull for me.
I'm using THC's dash replacment. I reguarly burn CD's/DVD's with various media (DivX, XViD, MPEG, etc) and was annoyed that whenever I put these discs in, I would get the 'Unknown Disc' error (this disc may be dirty or damaged, press OK to continue, etc). And since the only time I have an 'unknown disc' in my XBox is for media (I don't use ROM cd's or anything) I decided that instead of the error message, I would rather just have XBox Media Center start automatically when the disc type was 'unknown'.

Here's how to do it.

in default.xip / default.xap find:

CODE

else if (discType == "unknown")
{
TellUser("n Either your drive doesn't support this type of media or the disk may be dirty or damaged.","");
}

and replace it with:

CODE

else if (discType == "unknown")
{
launch( "default.xbe", "//Device//Harddisk0//Partition1//applications//XBMC" );
}

(replace forward slashes with back slashes)

In my instance, I have XBox Media Center installed in F://applications//xbmc so you will have to change the path to whatever matches your setup.

- Sonikku

gnutellafan

Jan 20 2004, 12:54 PM

Sonikku, does XBMC automatically launch the media then? IE, if I put a divx disc in will it just start playing the divx movie?

Sonikku

Jan 20 2004, 06:49 PM

No, you would just end up at the main XBMC screen, which is fine for me, since typically i'll have several divx movies burned to one dvd-r, and I wouldnt want it to start randomly playing whichever one it wants

Aron Parsons

Jan 23 2004, 06:26 AM

Here is some code to add functionality to the MS remote for music playback (globally, the functions work in any menu). You can change songs, switch playback type, mute, stop, start, and switch soundtracks. It's pretty much just copy and paste, no modification of current code.

Skip+ --> next song
Skip- --> previous song
Pause --> mute/unmute
Stop --> stop
Play --> play
Forward --> next soundtrack
Reverse --> previous soundtrack
Title --> change between 'random' and 'continuous'

All code goes in default.xap --> default.xip

Add this one variable declaration at the top with all the other global variables

CODE

var BGMoldVol;

Find

CODE

DEF theBackgroundMusicPlayer AudioClip
{
blah blah blah
}

After this definition (after it's closing bracket), add the rest of this code.

CODE

In the BackgroundMusicOn() function, fix this typo in tHc's release:

CODE

else if(BGMmode = "Continuous")

should be

CODE

else if(BGMmode == "Continuous")

You're just adding the double equals for equality instead of assigning the value.

Hope this helps some people out. Maybe something like this (or this code itself

) will be included in the next release. It really makes it nice to just use the remote for the music.

Hi
If you want rotating icons inside the orbs (for the tHc dash, prerelease and final) of the "music soundtrack style" , "music copy style", "music style with submenus 1" and "music style with submenus 2" menus, try this. You'll have to insert them as .xbx in default.xip, but it's the only way to have icons by now...
It's almost the same I posted here:
http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?act...T&f=55&t=153030
but now the icons rotate

Edit: Updated to work with submenus.

Now you have to make the icons. Generate a .xbx for each game/app/emu/dash you want. The name must be the exactly same as the directory where it is, so if you make them with fast_xbx2dds2img, you will have to insert the spaces in the name after making it (if the directory has spaces).
You can also look for the xbx in the saves dir. Just locate the correct directory and rename TitleImage.xbx
Update: Thanks to ImOkRuOk and Cody Smile you can get icons from here:
http://xbx-repository.cjb.net/titleimage/xbx_menu.php
Insert back all the xaps in their xips and all the icons in default.xip. Save the xips, RESIGN and upload. That's it!!!
According to JbOnE, there is a limitation on xips. If you put in too many icons (or if they are too big, 128x128 is enough), you can get an error 21 on load or when you enter the menu, so be careful.

The following code brings upp the keyboard and allow user to launch a game or app by entering the folder name, witch the game/app is located in.

This is useful when running the memory menu hack, and when there is no saved game.

Put the following functions in default.xap and add a call the function QuickLaunch(); when pressing some button.

CODE

CODE

function QuickLaunch()
{
var title = "Enter Title";

ShowKeyboard("Quick Launch.", title, "LaunchTitle(strKeyboardEdit)", "");
}

Krater... in the standard memory section
how/where does it get its image's from, to display the thumbnail??
as this could be worked in with your mod...

you would then have a auto icon
and no need for inserting a seperate image for each XBE etc...
truly a top mod !!

would this be possible ??

By modifying slightly what Sonikku said about launching XBMC when a disk is unknown, I just removed the error message so that I can put in a rom, video, or music disk and then launch the appropriate program to run the disk.

In default.xip --> default.xap find:

CODE

else if (discType == "unknown")
{
TellUser("n Either your drive doesn't support this type of media or the disk may be dirty or damaged.","");
}

Replace With:

CODE

else if (discType == "unknown")
{
return;
}

hard huh?

Krater-

Do all games need to have a preview .xbx file? We put them in the default.xip file correct? I just followed your tut step by step and when I click onto the games section it try's to go in it but just freezes? What could the problem be?

Krater

Feb 25 2004, 09:49 AM

Hi
No, you don't need to place an icon for every menu item. If a game doesn't have an icon the cube simply won't show.
Yes, you have to put them in default.xip. Start by adding only one icon and seeing if it works. Your problem may be the size of the xbxs or the number of them (according to JbOnE there can be problems in xips with this). By now I have about 40 icons in my default.xip @ 128x128 and 10KB each and it works well.

Hey if you can send me the xbx's I can host them and maybe we can establish a database of more games?

The easiest thing to do would be get them out of the saved games hosted by xbox-saves. I was going to do this but life has gotten in the way. It would be possible to build a database will all current games and distribute it via mirc - of course it would need someone to update constantly.

I'd be more than happy too:)

fuckdb released a cool new patch to get drive space.

QUOTE

This patch add the ability to "MemoryMonitor.GetTotalFreeBlocks" function to return the F & G drive space.

XAP Usage:
DriveSpace = yourMemoryMonitor.GetTotalFreeBlocks(X);
X = 8(E Drive) , 9(F Drive) , 10(G Drive)

PS: You can use GetFreeTotalRatio function to compute the full drive space.

EG:
FreeSpaceRatio = FreeSpace / TotalSpace
TotalSpace = FreeSpace / FreeSpaceRatio

Can someone come up or find some usefull code from this?

i know if you change every were it says

CODE

MemoryMonitor.GetTotalFreeBlocks(8);

you can change the 8 to the diff drives

CODE

X = 8(E Drive) , 9(F Drive) , 10(G Drive)

i wish i could just make one button to push to change drives

Hi Bob
In default.xip/default.xap, look for
function UpdateMainMenu()
{
Update4ButtonMainMenu();
}
And insert below it:

CODE

DEF cubo Transform
{
scale 50 50 50
translation -100 -100 0
rotation 0 0 1 3.14
children
[

Spinner
{
rpm 3
axis 1 1 1
children
[

Shape
{
appearance Appearance
{
material Material
{
}
texture ImageTexture
{
url "YourImageHere.tga"
alpha false
}
}
geometry Box
{
}
}

]
}

]
}

It won't appear inside the orb, you'll have to change the coordinates in
translation -100 -100 0
Also, you'll have to insert YourImageHere.xbx in default.xip or change that to point to another image.
Regards,

Krater

Hi
If you want rotating icons inside the orbs (for the tHc dash, prerelease and final) of the "music soundtrack style" , "music copy style" and "music style with submenus 2" menus, try this. You'll have to insert them as .xbx in default.xip, but it's the only way to have icons by now...

I seem to have messed up some where doing this....
The dash loads perfect, I can see the icons that match the games,emulators, and apps.
BUT my third tab is set up as an Aplications folder. It's a Music Style with SubMenus 2 style folder.
Originally when I'd press A it would bring up the applications folder with
BoXplorer
Halo cache editor
Disc copy
Dashboards
and Misc. Applications
Now when I press A it brings up the folder Applications but the folders are renamed to mimic the actual menu of the cd ripper. If I hit A it brings up the folder of what ever it was originally like boXplorer. if I hit down then A it brings me to Halo cache editor.
If I hit B to pull out the menu flips up and the previous menu come halfway on the screen. If I hit B again it only makes the sound. The weird part is it actually "stays" in the menu I pulled out of. Like if I hit A one more time BoXplorer would launch.

Oh, I did edit the xbox saves to be able to launch the game through the Icon and had no problem with it, still dont. Do you guys think having both could cause some kind of problem? Any idea what I could have done wrong?

Hi Odb718
I didn't edit the saves menu, but I don't think that's the reason for it not to work.
I'd suggest you to get a clean Music_PlayEdit2/default2.xap and default.xip/submenu0.xap and redo these parts.
Regards,

This might be useful for those like me who wanted to create a playlist and have only that playlist play when the background music is turned on. I also included some code to randomize the playlist on start up. Now if you have more than one playlist I'm pretty sure it only plays songs from the first one but I'm not quite sure why. Maybe someone could shed some light on that. But anyways it works for the first playlist fine for me and I have 2 lists.

This is in Default.xip/Default.xap:

under DEF theBackgroundMusicPlayer AudioClip and "function BackgroundMusicOn()", replace this

CODE

else if(BGMmode == "Playlist")
{
DisableAmbientAudio();
BGMPlayerPlayList(plist[vPLPos],slist[vPLPos]);
}

with this

CODE

else if(BGMmode == "Playlist")
{
DisableAmbientAudio();
var w = Math.round(Math.random() * (ptotal - 1));
BGMPlayerPlayList(plist[w],slist[w]);
}

Then under "function BGMPlayerPlayList(x,y)", replace this

CODE

if(beInPlist)
{
BGMst = x;
BGMtr = y;
}
else
{
BGMst = plist[0];
BGMtr = slist[0];
}

with this

CODE

BGMst = x;
BGMtr = y;

Then under DEF theMainMenu Level and "function onLoad()", change both instances of

CODE

BGMmode = "Random";

to

CODE

BGMmode = "Playlist";

At this point, when the dash loads it should play a random song from your first playlist but after that song ends it will play them in order. If you want it to keep playing random songs from the list just goto DEF theBackgroundMusicPlayer AudioClip under "function OnEndOfAudio()" and change

CODE

else if(BGMmode == "Playlist")
{
BGMPlayerPlaylistFFWD();

to this

CODE

else if(BGMmode == "Playlist")
{
//BGMPlayerPlaylistFFWD();
BackgroundMusicOn();

the only drawback is it won't ever play your list in order unless you change this back.

Well thats it. This work well enough for me but if anyone wants to improve on it great! Post your code if you do.

Let me know if it doesn't work.

My Variation on the XBMC post by Sonikku,

in default.xip/default.xap find

CODE

else if (discType == "unknown")
{
TellUser("n Either your drive doesn't support this type of media or the disk may be dirty or damaged.","");
}

and replace with

CODE

AskQuestion(theTranslator.Translate("Disk not regognised!\n\nDo you wish to launch XBMedia Centre?"), "StartXBMC()", "", 0);

Now above

CODE

function StartDVDPlayer()

paste the following

CODE

When an unrecognised disk in inserted it will now ask if you want to launch XBMC and run it if you do.

Nice one again Krater, I used this code to add a little revolving icon next to music info.

Sweet

music_icon.xbx <-- if u want it.

UPDATE: Only trouble is it stays on screen when watching a dvd...

Can this be fixed??

It's almost the same I posted here:
http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?act...T&f=55&t=153030
but now the icons rotate

Edit: Updated to work with submenus.

is there a way to make it look to a different spot(like a folder on your hard drive) for the xbx's? i have about 220 i want to keep on it, but it freezes when the default.xip is too big.

By the way i am going to upload all of my xbx's to the site soon.
