 UnleashX
Dit is het start menu dat we op je xbox 1 installeren.
(let op: op de Xbox 360 worden geen programma's geinstalleerd,
enkel de dvd drive wordt aangepast!)
Vanuit dit menu kun je alle geinstalleerde programma's opstarten.
Zoals de Xbox Media Center maar bijvoorbeeld ook spelletjes welke op
de harde schijf van je xbox staan.
Ook draait er zodra dit menu aan staat een FTP server op je xbox
zodat je vanaf je PC bestanden heen en weer naar de xbox kunt kopieren
Zet je de xbox aan zonder spel in de dvd lade dan krijg je dit menu.
INTRODUCTION:
UnleashX is an XBOX Application/Game launcher, with a few other features
thrown in. UnleashX was designed with safety in mind.
Features that could potentially render your XBOX useless were
intentionally left out, except for the HD formatting. This dash has
been tested on V1.0, V1.1 and V1.4 XBOXes with X2 4976.02/4977/4979,
EvoX D6/M7 BIOS. UnleashX has the basic features of a dashboard.
It can automatically search your Hard Drive or DVD for
applications/games and build the menu from the found default.xbe files,
displayed using the icon embedded within the xbe file.
SUMMARY OF IMPORTANT FEATURES:
1) Password Protection - for every item. With UnleashX, you can set a
password for each menu, submenu, individual item, as
well as a system password with maximum number of tries (only for
system password. When the maximum is reached, the XBOX
will automatically shutdown).
2)Skining Support - skinning is very flexible, but not overly
complicated, live skin switching allows you to change skins
without having to restart your XBOX, skins may and even should
be zipped and put in their own subfolders.

3) Newsfeed Support - automatically retrieves information from
specified websites (as long as your XBOX is internet connected)
4) >Action Command / Batch Support - like DOS batch commands, you
can perform a lot of different functions inside UnleashX through
the use of Action commands, which can be set to be run in batch
mode (batch mode processes a series of commands in sequence,
until either a break point or the end of the batch is reached.)
5) File Manager (built in) - Copy/Move/Delete/QuickDVDCopy, support
for copy and resume so you don’t start from the beginning if an
error occurs.
6) Game/DVD Movie/CD/Data Disc Detection with the option to
autolaunch them using your favorite media player/app.
(note: after inserting the disc, you may stop the autolaunch by
pressing any the left or right trigger)
7) Built in virtual keyboard.

9) Image Viewer via the File Manager - supports:
bmp, jpg, xbx and xpr
10) Zip/Unzip/Unrar(.rar v2.0 format only) files from your xbox.
Supports extracting from XIP files (except xm files). Now you can
check the contents of the xip files that came with the XBOX
without leaving it.
11) Video Support (WMV and XMV only) - Just select your movies from
the file manager and watch. Videos can be used in skins.
For an automatic preview video detection, name your video
“preview.xmv” or “preview.wmv” and put it in the game/app folder
(note: for preview videos to work, the skin must support it).

(note: for preview videos to work, the skin must support it).
12) Custom Music Path - If you have WMA’s on your XBOX, aside from
those ripped using MS Dash, you can tell UnleashX the directory
to search and it will search the directory specified and one
subdirectory down (if there is a subdirectory)
13) Skin Previews - while in the skin selection screen, if the skin
has a screenshot saved as "preview.jpg" in either the ZIPPED
skin file or the skin's sub-directory UnleashX will show you a
preview of the skin, without having to apply the skin.
(note: Skin Preview is off by default, press the White button to
toggle Skin Preview ON/OFF)
14) Auto/Manual clock settings. You can set it to manual so UnleashX
will ask you for the date and time when it becomes invalid
(like when the XBOX has been unpluged for too long), otherwise
UnleashX will set it Nov 15, 2003.
15) Sound Effects/Sound Track Support - uses the internal
MS Dashboard Sounds (if present, it still runs without them)
and uses the soundtracks on the XBOX for background music.
16) Dash Configs on your XBOX, aside from

to search and it will search the directory specified and one
subdirectory down (if there is a subdirectory)

be configured from within UnleashX itself
17) Partition Formatting.
18) Video Support (WMV and XMV only). You can now watch those
cutscenes without playing the game. Just select your movies
from the file manager and watch. See skinning overview to learn
how to use video on your skins. For an automatic preview video
detection, name your video “preview.xmv” or “preview.wmv” and
drop them in the game folder.
19) Custom Music Path. If you have WMA’s on your XBOX aside from
those ripped using MS Dash, you can tell UnleashX where to look
for them. It will search the path you configure and one folder
down (if there are any subfolders).
20) Skin Preview. Provide a screenshot and save it as “preview.jpg”
to enable screen preview. It’s off by default.
21) FTP Server with PASV and up to 10 clients uable - almost everything, except for the menus, can

21) FTP Server with PASV and up to 10 clients - You can set the
Username, password, port, max users, and anonymous access.
(note: if multiple users are connect at the same time, they must
all use the same user account, which defaults to
user: xbox, pass: xbox
22) Simple Screen Saver and Auto-Turn off timer.
23) Safe Mode. Some skins crashed UnleashX? Just reboot your XBOX and
select another one without using a boot disk. UnleashX should
bypass it on the next reboot. Same goes true for config.xml.
24) Built In Hard Drive Prep
Booting up with a NEW HD from a CD/DVD disk it will ask for your
permission and requires you to press certain keypad combination
before proceeding. It has enough warnings to prevent accidental
hard drive erasure (after this, it is completely up to you).
After confirming, the dash will format Drives C, E, X, Y and Z.
Then it will ask if you have drive F and if you want to format
it. Unless you skipped formatting drive F, then it will ask if
you have drive G an- You can set the
Username, password, port, max users, and anonymous access.

Then it will ask if you have drive F and if you want to format
it. Unless you skipped formatting drive F, then it will ask if
you have drive G and if you want to format it (it is important
for you to know whether you have drive G or not, as it would
likely crash on some BIOS if you elected to select/format it and
it doesn’t exist).
After it has formatted the new disk, the dash will detect the
presence of D:\CDrive (or D:\CBackup), D:\EDrive (or D:\EBackup),
D:\FDrive (or D:\FBackup), D:\GDrive (or D:\GBackup) and copies
the content to appropriate destinations. If either of the source
for E isn't present, it will create TDATA and UDATA on the said
drive. Further, it will detect for the presence of evoxdash.xbe
on the C and if it isn't there, it will copy default.xbe
into drive c as evoxdash.xbe. For people with older chip, it will
detect xboxdash.xbe and if it couldn't find it, install itself as
default.xbe on drive C.
The UI is kind of rudimentary and may feel one step backward from
EvolutionX, but it works and it's very simple. The backup files
doesn't have to be there as you can copy them later with the
built-in file manager. A few more commands will be added that are
useful to some people (installers).

for you to know whether you have drive G or not, as it would
likely crash on some BIOS if you elected to select/format it and

(Note: Using HD prepare on a new HD won't fire this up as the
drive won't be detected as new. It has to be a brand new, out of
the static bag HD. Of course, you can manually invoke the process
via the action command (Action="PrepareHD") when the new version
comes out.)
