Origins - Cannot get MS Dash to load...where is it?
AlaskaCC replied to AlaskaCC's topic in Dashboards
I had to revisit this topic because I was installing the Origins 2TB image for someone else that also wanted to keep the Origins opening menu and use Insignia. After going back through my notes and doing a bit more research I found this post from BombBloke on Reddit responding to the question: What are some ways I can restore the C drive with real Xbox dash files for setting up Insignia? Right, so that's an NKpatcher-based softmod sitting alongside some CerBIOS startup animation files, and what I guess is a shortcut that presumably leads off to your UnleashX install. Leave the bios folder, BootAnims folder, the media folder, evoxdash.xbe file, and evoxdash.cfg file where they are. Delete all other files and folders on C (yes, including the "do not touch" directory - which you would be leaving well alone if you weren't hardmodded!). Extract the files from this archive into place alongside what's left. Attempt to start the MS dash again. You might be able to remove the media directory too, off the top of my head I'm not sure what's in that one. It's probably not taking up too much space, though. In my case, I had not installed CerBIOS, so I did not have the BIOS or BootAnims folder. I deleted everything except the media folder, evoxdash.xbe and evoxdash.cfg and then copied over a clean drive C from the archive package. There was plenty of space for the fresh C drive files. After that, I ran UnleashX, selected the System menu option, then Dashboards and then ran the MS Dashboard from there. I was able to access the MS Dash Settings options and then my Network settings. DISCLAIMER: As noted by BombBloke, a softmodded system might actually need some of those files. I suggest only making the above changes on a hardmodded system. -
I cannot seem to figure out where to place the Cerbios animation files and how to structure the .ini file to point at them. My other question is where to put the XMV player. I guess I need someone to explain it like I was a child or their golden retreiver! Help!

The 2TB disk works fine, including all games, on my v1.0 console. I installed it in a v1.6 console with an Aladdin chip/Evox F&G bios but it does not load all the games. The files are there, confirmed via File Explorer and FlashFXP, but the games will not start. It loads some games but not all. It will go back to the startup menu. Very strange. Any recommendations?

The file was hosed. That's why it wouldn't load the dash. I had to copy over a fresh version and now it works fine. Thanks for the suggestion. -
Glad to see you back on the scene. I love that EvolutionX menu!

I have the Origins package on my 2TB drive, which is locked to the console and I cannot get the MS Dash to load. The system freezes. Questions: Can you confirm that the MS Dash is actually included? If not, where do I put it? I have read the stories of people tampering with the menu or structure and having things "blow up". I appreciate any help or suggestions. Thanks.

Thanks. Wiring is the same (for the switch bank) from the pinouts I've looked at and the switch bank has the same number L33-11678 as mine, just a different colour. I might try and fix mine, but if that fails, what would you want for it including shipping to the UK? To get you back in the game, I'll do $10 plus shipping. First Class International would probably be best. I do not know how much that would be.

I have a spare 2.3B Lite that I can part with. It has the switch bank. I see some differences but don't know if the wiring is the same.

The X3 on top works perfectly. The one on the bottom gets smoking hot and will not boot. I am guessing there is a short to ground but not sure what to check. Any ideas? What typically fails on these?

I am willing to upload it if someone wants to host it.
