hmm, i think we have an ok/good idea of what we want but we really need to know what you, the end user, want in your dash board of choice...so just let us know what you would like to see and we will see what we can do about it

To make this a part of the official headcount, count me in for testing and possibly some graphics assistance. Me and my partner (scardeycat) have both done graphics work for this site, other sites, and I've also done some minor skin work. Also, I can quite efficient in HTML (learning some PHP and MySQL stuff via Forahobby atm).
Contact me via PM for my AIM, for obvious reasons I don't have it public.

Well at the moment there's only 4 main programs that I use on my Xbox:
If this could all be in one application, THAT would be my ultimate dash.
Source code IS available for XBMC and DVD2Xbox, but unfortunately DVDX and UnleashX remain secret as far as I know. Also, if anyone's seen the source code for XBMC they'll know how big it is, it's massive.
So, in conclusion I suppose I would just happy with game ripping, dvd playback (some partial media playback if possible but not important), and a kick-ass/flexible interface like unleashx (so possibly if I wanted to I could use it for the frontend of a new AID hehe).
That's my two cents for now...

Revisions are to be made

Hm, not bad, but I'm thinking since it's for the Xbox (not Xbox 360) we shouldn't really need to have that 360 typed interface as such, leave that to the 360. Maybe something similar, but this looks way too close.

Well, we plan to port it to the 360 when it comes out (Goat already has some astounding theories of how to mod 360 O_o)

well, that look is just for the main download skin, we can have many skins available and when ppl make new ones they can submit them to us and we will put them on the server we are going to intgrate into the 'internet/sharing' tab
I just saw this on the other boards. Felt like posting it, you have to sign up over there, but its Project 134 related . _________________ XBOX v1.6

I dont really know how to setup an IRC channel, but I joined #134 on efnet, and it seems to be empty, so If you want to chat, talk to us there (Ill have to convey this with the other members also )

da-goat and I have already spoken, so I would just like to indroduce myself to the rest of you guys. I would love to help with this project. I know all VS languages and am familiar with xbox coding techniques. I have many rogue versions of scene dashes and software that I have personally reverse engineered and added fuctionality to. Morphing xbox apps has been a small hobby of mine for about the last year or so. I am very interested in the concepts behind this dash, and have been trying to develop something similar by myelf -for myself- in spare time. I have many ideas to contribute and will be doing so over the course of the next couple of days. I would like to be directly involved in the development, coding and debugging of this project if it does indeed come together and a few more experienced coders get involved. I'm not sure how much time I have to put into this because of work and classes and other obligations, but I am sure that I could contribute much to this, mainly because I want it for myself.

I have a few ideas for DVD functionality. I would take the Dash2Gam approach on it and just write a DirectX dll to handle it. It's not very hard to do, just takes a lot of man hours to accomplish it from scratch. I have a partially wriiten one. Porting codecs for a multimedia player is also not very difficult IF you have a few people working together on it.
As for UnleashX, what exactly are the features that you like about it? What does it do that you would like to include? If you are a little more specific, I'm sure it could be coded.
I tend to agree with fh about the openxdk issue. You are talking about a project that you would like to distribute freely. Basically a free, open source OS for the XBOX that would no doubt include an installer coupled with something like AID/SID. Reverse engineering an MS compiled application with an unlicensed, (possibly)illegally obtained copy of thier IDE/SDK software is something that shouldn't be treaded upon lightly, especially when you add something like a torrent client or some other p2p functionality that makes distributing backups accessible to more people. I really think that if you guys are seriously considering this that you should seriously consider the compiler that you use and the licensing issues and legal implications. There ARE legal ways to approach this project, and bring it to greater respect and potential.

Im glad you joined, we need more people like you
We want Unleash X source so we can add in a gamesave manager, and we have about 5 xbox programmers that we can assign under you. (Pirrup and Hobby said they could help us, but are tied up at the moment, so im not sure if they are still willing to help, only because I havnt contacted them)
Thank you again for joining, aim me at xbxhcker, or msn me at travissein@cox.net please
