x2 5035 ini file question

[suckaduck]

Regarding the dashXName section, all paths should be lowercase, just in the ini file or also on the hdd itself???

i.e. dash1Name = e:Apps\XBMC\default.xbe is wrong and should be:

dash1Name = e:xbmc\default.xbe??

Does the actual path on the HDD make any difference?

(Xbox 1.4 with 250 Gb HDD with Xenium Ice with XOS 2.3.0 with X2CL 5035)

Thanks

The case of the actual files and folder on the HDD itself does not matter. I think there just was an issue at one point where if the DashxName string was in upper or mixed case the BIOS had problems with it. One of my dashes is located as DASHES\UnleashX\default.xbe on F, in the ini I have that all in lower case.

Doesn't XBMC need to load off a file on C first in order to work as a dash?

Greetings.

Is the following syntact OK to use in the INI file ?

dash1Name = F:\Dashboard\Avalaunch\avalaunch.xbe

or should it be (without the backlash)

dash1Name = Fashboard\Avalaunch\avalaunch.xbe

Also, when will it be possible to pick between Dash1, Dash2, Dash3 etc.. as I have not received my chip yet?

Thanks

Drop the colon ( : ) and keep the backslash. Also, lower case the entire string as discussed above. Your sting should match the formatting of the examples included in the ini.

You can't select from the different dashes, this is just the order that the BIOS will look for them. So, if you have Ava as your normal dash (#1) but somehow it up and disappears, the BIOS will then check for the dashes you have listed in #2 and onward.

If you want to do dash selection via a control pad button you can use the autorun (I think that's what it is called?) feature of Avalaunch. This allows you to program specific buttons to launch specific XBEs when held at dash load. By default button A (I think... been a while since I've tried it.) will always launch the last XBE loaded by the dash. Check the Avalaunch documentation for info on this. I think UnleashX also similar features.

So the following would be ok? (I Dropped the colon ( : ) and kept the backslash and lowered case)

dash1Name = F \dashboard\avalaunch\avalaunch.xbe
dash2Name = F \dashboard\evox\evoxdash.xbe
dash3Name = F \dashboard\unleashx\unleashx.xbe
dash4Name = E \apps\xbmc\xbmc.xbe
dash5Name = c \xboxdash.xbe

Actually, my bad.... not drop the colon but drop the first backslash. Here's the line from the ini just above the dashxName section. This should be all the info you need...

; 255 characters max here, format is <drive>:<path_to_xbe>.xbe, e.g. "f:dashes\avalaunch.xbe"

Keep the drive letter lower case, along with the path and xbe name. And get that space out from between the drive letter and the path.
