Years ago Hobbs and I discussed reviving the download features for UnleashX. IE being able to download updates, skins and gamesaves direct to the XBOX from the dashboard.
This morning I decided to revisit this. And here we have Ux with a new server downloading a 13MB dummy update

Excellent and congrats mate.. If you need somewhere to host the update files let me know.. I'm sure we can work something out. It should be interesting to see what you can work out with it.. Maybe we could even have it update AID or something. _________________ HQ Network:

We can absolutely use it to update softmods and installers. A proper update package includes a script for installing. We just have to make sure they are zip files with low compression. That way even if the batch fails a user can manually extract them on the xbox. And we can specify any server we want for the live update
And I found where in the xbe we can specify the skin servers so thats next to update. And I was thinking since it allows for 2 servers why not repurpose the second one for downloading emulators and homebrew

No major updates, still in a testing/fact finding stage. Figuring out how far I can push it before it hits a memory wall and crashes. Plus we still need to set up a proper server as Mediafire doesnt support HTML listing or multiple file downloads without zipping everything which prevents it from supporting the live update control script.

Get in touch with me via skype. I can provide you a subdomain and ftp account to use.
For sure. I'll hit you up this weekend. I want to get the Hidden Gems disc out the door so I can write it off and move on. Gonna have to figure something to fund it. Its for the people so I figure the people can pay the cost. Guys like us already outlay enough coin as it is. Maybe an encrypted login I embed in the xbe that we share via VIP forum or something like that

If I had a little more time I'd help with an API where you could login etc and check access but that's a little complicated right now. Work is absolutely crazy. Either way, I'm sure we will figure something out.
Is there any way we could configure the update to use multiple domains/servers?
I'm actually buying a brand new server for work this year (its about $30k), so it will be another server that we can use for updates.. hehe

chat soon
Just in UX we have access to 5 servers. 1 for update, 2 for skins and 2 for gamesaves. I can bootleg any of them to work as a backup update server etc. Also I noticed it the other day Ux is RDX/Penny Ops with some changes. So Im gonna start writing this stuff into Penny Ops so we will have full control and not just be limited to IDA and hex decompiles. So we will have our own dashboard thats Ux on roids.
