Hi, got an Xecuter 2.6 mod with Evolution dash running great but I can't get the M$ dash to run. Want to play DVDS.
I can run DVDs using an ISO of DVDx but want to get the 'Launch DVD' menu option of evolution to start the M$ dash. I've renamed the dash & have it coded OK in evox.ini but it gives the code 21 when I launch it.

Also, can I copy the stuff on my DVDx CD to the HD & link to it's default.xbe to run it??

Don't know what else to say - I've searched the forums here but can't find anything similar.

Thankyou in advance.

Mike

Ok find a copy of BoxPlorer (if you don't have it already!), and execute it point it to you're C:\ Partition. Try looking for any of the following:

xboxdash.xbe
msdash.xbe

Or something simular, you can boot *.xbe File directly from Boxplorer. If everything is fine with your 'msdash / xboxdash.xbe' File then you should be able to boot it with out an Error 21. Since an 'Error 21' is a Dashboard spciffic error. To the effect that the XBOX? tryed to lauch a .XBE and was told instead to reboot. It's hard to imagine what excatly is worng here.

But, here's a quick and dirty thought... Have you tryed booting your XBOX? with the 'Chip' turned off?? This will surly allow you to play DVD's then...

Hi Ichijoe,
I'm connecting to the xbox from my PC using ftp - I have set c:\xboxdash.xbe to run from my 'MSDashboard' menu option but it still gives this error.

I also get the error when I switch the modchip off.

Do you happen to know what size the 'normal' xbe file is as I'm pretty sure I messed around renaming stuff when i set this up over a year ago but can't remember what I renamed to what! Doh!

Is there a DVD player app I can install to my HD so I can just trigger that off from a menu command??

Thanks

Mike
