iBotPeaches Posted January 28, 2010 Report Posted January 28, 2010 NFO File Freestyle XBOX 360 Dashboard ------------------------- 2010/01/25 axc97c version 1.0 ------------------------- I decided that instead of focusing of file copying and browsing operations, i would make the game launching and browsing as good as i could. Features:- FTP Support. (Slow at moment) List XBOX 360, XBOX Live, Application and Emulators, and launch them. Support for artwork for each title, including boxart, screenshots and icon. Use pc to download artwork to xbox either via usb drive or ftp. Browse games by genre. Favourite games support. Game details including no of players, resolution, sound and online options, Fullscreen screenshot viewer. Fully skinable. Uses indexer to allow you to download artwork, and edit the metadata with each game. Customizable overscan so you can set the dash to display all its information even when other launchers cant. Source code released too. When first launching, you will be asked if you want the dashboard data storing on the usb drive or xbox hdd. If you choose usb, you can run the indexer with the drive connected to a pc, or via ftp while its still connected to the xbox. If you use the internal xbox drive, you can still run the indexer on the xbox via ftp. The ftp server is quickly thrown together and needs a fair bit of work still but it works great for copying small stuff to the xbox. I would suggest launching xexmenu for now to copy games via ftp. It is mainly included to allow the indexer to be run without having to disconnect the usb drive every time you add a new game. Artwork wise, i have hosted all the icons i have available, so if any are missing let me know which. For the boxart and screenshots, the indexer uses the xbox marketplace for most content. Games that arent listed use an alternate url for the main xbox site, but these need to be added manually so some may be missing. The file for this is automatically updated so if games have no info you can either wait for me to add them to the list or edit the altgames.xml file yourself. When the dash first scans your content, it takes a while as it extracts any icons etc it finds. This is all cached though so subsequent launches of the dashboard are quick. The first run of the indexer will take quite some time, as it has got a lot of artwork to get, so please be patient with it. Thanks to dstruktiv for the XBLA launching code and network enable code. Thanks to all feedback from 360 dashit indexer users, as this is what that project has turned into. I'll give this one a shot, in hopes that it will display better than xexmenu.
Dark Slipstream Posted January 28, 2010 Report Posted January 28, 2010 I like how it says "built with XDK", and when you check out what it is, the definition says "This compiler is only available to Microsoft approved programmers and can not be used to build 'homebrew software'." I think it's ironic.
