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.

Settings 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

For features and description, please see UnleashX documentation, or the change

logs for the last 3 releases, or so ;).

limit hardcoded into the system but my mobile HD still wouldn't work.

It could be that it's not USB1.1 compliant but I ran out of hardware

to test. Tested with 128MB, 512MB, 1GB flash disk and 4GB iPod Nano. Let

me know if you have success with bigger HDD.

using search filter such as '*.mp3' or '*.zip'. It won't return files like

'my.cool.song.mp3'. I'll take a look on this and it's probably something wrong on my

part, but I don't wanna take out the filter and check for the extension myself.

I'm using the standard FindFirstFile/FindNextFile API, if anyone has a tip, that

would be cool.

www.xbox-saves.com for making this possible. To enable downloading, open Game

Saves Manager, highlight the game you wanted to download saves for, and hit the

'Y' button. If one or more games is found, you will be presented with a list for

order for you download a save for this type of game, you must delete the item first.

Please support them by visiting their site.

Version: 0.31.0222A

Release Date: 02/29/2004

Note: Quick fix release, no major enhancement.

Fixed: Menu list gets messed up when going in and out of submenu if done quickly.

Fixed: Menu items alignment when using the free form layout.

Fixed: True-Widescreen support. Somehow, it got messed up during one of the updates.

Added: Passcode using just the gamepad. Valid characters for Passcodes are: A, B, X, Y, W(hite), L(eft), R(ight), U(p), D(own) and 0~9 (using the IR). Passcodes are case sensitive and have a maximum of 15 characters. Note that Password and Passcode can't be use in the same function/action together, and Password takes precendence over passcode.

<Passcode MaxTries='3'>ABXY</Passcode> -for system passcode or

<Item Action='LaunchDVD' Passcode='1234567890'>Launch DVD</Item>

Added: DelayLoad attribute to submenus/automenus with a default value of True. Setting this to 'False' will instruct the dash to scan all related files on boot up, adding a little delay while booting up.

<List Text='Applications' Sort='On' Auto='On' DelayLoad='False'>

Added: EnableMusic attribute to the 'Preview' element so you have more control about how the BGM behaves.

Added: Forced video mode switching for multi-region titles.

Version: 0.30.0222A

Release Date: 02/22/2004

Fixed: Frequent lock ups when doing an IGR.

Fixed: XBE Title editor messes up the title when editing to a shorter title.

Fixed: Pressing Display button on the IR control to turn the xbox off was broken.

Fixed: Using MessageBox in batch execution cancels the entire process.

Fixed: Fan Speed gradually goes back to the default value.

Fixed: Fan Speed and Memory display doesn't include the fraction part. 2.5x is being displayed as 2.0x.

Fixed: or rather changed. Embedded game icons won't show if you didn't put anything on the Item element in config.xml.

Fixed: Problem with the newer IR Control.

Fixed: Background music (BGM) gets muted even though the audio of preview video is disabled.

Changed: EnableDriveF default value was changed to False. This should ensure greater compatibility with older BIOSes.

Changed: Default Infotext Font was expanded to include characters 128~255, so it's now possible to display the ' and ' characters.

Changed: Virtual keyboard expanded to include accented characters.The Alphabet<->Symbol button is now changed to Alphabet->Symbol->Accents

Changed: USB keyboard mapping to gamepad events. Enter key maps to A, Esc to B, Ctrl+Enter to Start and Ctrl+Esc to Back button. This should make using USB keyboard with the text editor easier.

Changed: WMA (BGM) decoding engine, and overall handling. Random option limits the selection to the same track and will only change track if all the songs have been played.

Changed: Option to play ripped WMA only, custom music only, or both. The old configuration will still work (<EnableSoundTrack>True</EnableSoundTrack>) but it will be mapped to 'Off' and 'Both'.

<EnableSoundTrack>Both</EnableSoundTrack> -Posible values:Off, Xbox, Custom, Both

Changed: 'Copy DVD' option on the file manager so that instead of taking the current selected item as the destination, it will ask the user for one, using the virtual keyboard.

Changed: Batch command is now expanded to handle any number of level. Previous implementation will only handle the 'Items' element from the parent 'List' element. The parent 'List' element can contain as many 'List' element up to several levels deep. Because of this the 'AskUser' command is modified to exit the current level and skip the remaining items on queue, unless it belongs to the top level menu.

Changed: 'Path' element can now be placed right after the 'Menu' Element, not just within a 'List' element.

All your games can now be listed on the root menu, not just as a sub menu.

Added: Integrated Text Editor. Find and select your txt, xml, ini from the File Manager.

Added: Video mode Auto-Detect/Auto-Switch using Cherry's patch code so it's EEPROM safe (Doesn't modify and write to EEPROM). Force PAL60 option is also included. A simple reboot reverts everything back to original settings. It's smart enough to apply only when needed. Note: Multi-region titles like RainbowSix3 won't be set.

<AutoVideoMode UsePAL60='False'>True</AutoVideoMode>

Added: LED Color settings. Possible values: Default, Red, Orange, Off

Added: CPU Temperature Threshold. The dash will dynamically increase the fan speed until it reaches the desirable temperature level.

Added: X2IGR_ON/X2IGR_OFF action commands. Ex: <Item Action='X2IGR_OFF'>Turn Off X2 IGR</Item>

Added: SetClock action command. Ex: <Item Action='SetClock'>Date/Time Settings</Item>

Added: InputBox action command. Displays the virtual keyboard and wait for user's input. This is useful when doing an installer disk, giving the user the capability to choose the destination.

<Item Action='InputBox' Arg1='KB Caption'>Sample Value</Item>

To use the value entered by user later, you can use the keyword KBResult or $KBResult$ to combine it with any text. Ex: <Item Action='MessageBox' Arg1='Hi'>You entered '$KBResult$'</Item>, or

<Item Action='Copy' Arg1='D:CDrive' Arg2='KBResult'>Copy C Backup</Item>

Note that the use of $KBResult$ is case sensitive. Also, do not use KBResult and $KBResult$ after asking for password. In the event that a password is required for an item, ask for another input again from the user.

Added: Context Menu. Press start button to bring it up. Options available are Select/Play, Information, and Backup to Harddisk (backup only for that specific game/title). The type of information displayed is dependent on the type of the currently selected item. The context menu will be expanded to include more actions in the future.

Added: Ability to personalize/name your DVD compilation disk by simply adding a file named 'DiskTitle.txt' containing the alternate Title you want. Instead of having a disk with title showing as 'UnleashX CD', or 'MediaXMenu'(') or 'RemoteX'/'Evox CD', you can have it like 'MultiGame disk Vol. 2' or 'Halo/MechAssault Disk'. Note: For UnleashX bootdisk without this file, auto-launching is suppressed irregardless of your setting.
