Unleash X Xbox Skins
25.09.2019 admin
I've just used HEX's soft-mod guide to soft-mod my Xbox and it all worked! But I have a few questions now that I've done it: 1) I bridged a few contacts on my Xbox with the intent of flashing the console's BIOS chip (it's suppose to be better than just modding the HDD), has that already happened during the soft-modding process or is there something else I need to do? 2) The UnleashX dashboard doesn't have console settings (video, audio etc) am I suppose to set them via the MS dashboard?

3) Is enabling HD mode as simple as setting the console to NTSC, loading up the MS dashboard and setting 'yes' to all the video modes? 4) How do I enable region-free for games? I checked system info and it says my console is set to 'other regions' 5) How do I enable optical audio? I've got Dolby Digital set in the MS dashboard, but I still only get audio out via the RCA connectors 6) How do I enable 5.1 audio?
I see the option in the UnleashX dashboard, but I can't set it to 'yes' 7) Is it possible to free up space on the HDD by removing apps (XBMC etc)? 8) Is it possible to set the console to launch the MS dashboard instead of UnleashX's dashboard? Or is there a UnleashX skin that makes it looks like the MS dashboard? 9) Is the console's LED suppose to be orange instead of yellow? 1: if you used hexes guide then no the bios was not flashed during the softmod, you will need heretics boot cd to do that. 2: Console settings are under a sub menu down the bottom of the screen.
3: HD mode, I think you can do it that way but all my xboxes don't have the MS dash anymore. 4: It should be rregion free by default. The only problem may be video mode.
5: Do you have an optical out jack installed? 6: ^ 7: Yes you can, just don't delete any system stuff 8: There is a skin, should be one of the default ones (you can make your own skins too).
If you boot the console with the tray out it will boot to the online (stock ) dash. But I don't know if the mod will break if you try to set the stock dash as a default. 9: Yes (Unleashx Default) The consoles LED is three colours Red Green and Orange (Yellowish) you can change it under settings. 1: if you used hexes guide then no the bios was not flashed during the softmod, you will need heretics boot cd to do that. 2: Console settings are under a sub menu down the bottom of the screen.

Do I need a CD-R? 2) I found that menu, but it seemed to me missing the options that the MS dashboard has 3) It seems like that's worked, the UnleashX menu is running in 1080i now 4) So you're saying games from other regions should run no problems, despite what the system info seems to imply? 5) Yep, got an TOSLINK cable plugged in and everything 6) I suspected the fact I can't get optical to work might be the problem 7) Cool, do you just do this via the HDD browser, or is there a proper way to uninstall apps? 8) What's the skin's name?
I didn't see any that sounded like they looked liked the stock dashboard 9) Okay, I'll check for that. For the xboxdashboard skins, you can find the stock looking dash by installing a dashboard called tHc and can be found at eurasia. The stock dashboard skins look crap to be honest.
So go with tHc with all the animations and so on. Anyway, if you wish to check it for yourself, then try this: there is also a remixed version with added information:. There's no proper way to delete apps or games, with UnleashX you can enable the 'Uninstall option' so when you press START on an app or game you can remove it from there. Hope that helps the search party. I've just used HEX's soft-mod guide to soft-mod my Xbox and it all worked!

You can just copy it over and run it, then choose the flash bios option. You can also burn it to a CD, boot off that and flash. Once you have the new BIOS flashed to TSOP, unlock your hard drive. #2 - I'm not familiar with UnleashX, (I prefer to run the latest XBMC4XBOX as a dash) but most custom dashes do have options for setting the video output. If you can't find them in UnleashX, then just boot the MS Dash and set them there. #3 - Pretty much. #4 - Pretty much any custom BIOS is region free.
You shouldn't have to set anything. #5 - Plug in the Advanced AV pack and choose the option in the dash. #6 - Sounds like either a hardware issue with the AV pack you're using or the console isn't setup for HD modes.
#7 - You can delete any app you choose. Personally I would suggest trying out a few different dashboard to see which you prefer in day-to-day use. #8 - When you modded your console, you should have set a default dash XBE. You can set this to whatever you like, including the stock dash. #9 - Only if you have customized settings somewhere to tell it to do that. For the xboxdashboard skins, you can find the stock looking dash by installing a dashboard called tHc and can be found at eurasia.

Click to expand.Can you expand a little more on the BIOS flashing process? To me, it sounds like you need to copy the new BIOS to the USB drive then run an app from UnleashX that flashes the BIOS chip. It it something like that? Yeah, I'm thinking there's something wrong with the cable, since I'm getting HD and I've got Dolby Digital selected, but it still only outputs via the RCA plugs. I was suppose to choose the default dash when installing the soft-mod? It's too late to choose that after it's installed?
XvGM - Xbox Video Game Museum - UnleashX dashboard skin - What is XvGM? By cb-games This skin was originally created by darknior of EmuXtras.net.
I'd say it's been 7 years in the making. After many years of revisions and no release, I asked him for the files and he handed them over with the tools to create the XMV. At the time, only about 20 Xbox XMV movies were created so I spent all of 2015 creating the previews for almost every game.
Each XMV preview video was a previously encoded WMV8 for optimum performance. After finishing up with 970 of the Xbox previews, I decided to go back through them and correct/add text, and make sound adjustments, add better video to the preview box, etc. The coolest thing about this skin is that we've basically tricked UnleashX to display a different video, box art, and background art - by tying them all together in one PiP full screen video. Plus there are added perks with the description of game (usually from the back of the box, or Wikipedia), numbers of players, System Link, etc. basically all the info on the back of the box. (No more guess work with number of players when playing backups.) This skin has been optimized to display around 250 XBEs before the RAM runs out, which basically reboots the Xbox. I've heard that this is a natural limitation of the UnleashX app/dashboard.

So keep this in mind when using the skin. If you have too many games, including the home screen videos, NONE will display. Sidenote: I use XBMC as a dash if I'm packing more than 250 XBEs on the HDD.
With this skin, it's best to just put the BEST games, not the REST. Please give feedback to the individual previews and I'll be happy to make changes. This skin is in 720 HD. So, have your component cables ready or the description will be blurry. Again, this skin is HD ONLY.
Currently missing about 10 previews (for some obscure Japanese titles), but I'll create these when I get a chance to record video. Big thanks to kaosengr. Link(15GB) https://mega.nz/#!lfgHQSpI!S4uat0XYIVIozuml-lDbkhTVscIOK8pbmeHnOU2P3Ps.
