Progressive Scan-patched MS Dashboard !?!

[Uli]

i've desperately tried to progscan-patch my MS Dashboard (using the patch tool from xbox-scene.com) but for some reason it doesn't work for me! is there anybody who could just email me a progscan-patched & working MS Dashboard?

btw: i also noticed there is a new MS Dashboard version around that can be switched to progscan mode with a simple button combination!

i updated my Dashboad with the dashboard update xbe from the Chronicles of Riddick (NTSC) DVD and then tried to switch but it didn't work out either! what's wrong?

thanx in advance!

The new MS dashboard does work perfectly in 480P already... you have to be in NTSC output video mode for it to work though. Then hold both triggers and press both sticks in and it will save as 480P.

i've already applied the button combination but with no effect! could anyone just email a new version of the MS Dashboard or post a link to download it? many thanks in advance!

I've actually tried to do the dashboard thing, and it didn't work. Blah.

1) Err, no. That would be specifically against the forum rules, and a banning offense. Instead, its legally available either through Live or automatically installed when running, for example, the Star Wars: Battlefront demo in the DVD box set of the films.

2) It definitely, definitely works, as long as your machine is set to NTSC and you have the current dashboard release.

cant update it online since my xbox is modded! and i've used the dashupdater from my chronicles of riddick (ntsc) but it' didn't work despite the console was set to ntsc!

Don't forget you've got to have a Hi-Def cable plugged in for the dash to detect before it'll switch to prog scan.
If it doesn't detect one it'll boot in interlaced.

It does work and you notice it change if you've got the correct lead plugged in.

Just to recap - on the dash press and hold L + R then press both analogue sticks IN.

already have the xbox set to support progressive display and it's properly connected through my X2VGA+ box with my Plasma TV. works all fine! i just need the MS Dashboard to make compatible!

[Hitcher]

Perhaps it's something to do with the auto-detection using the X2VGA+ box instead of the Official Hi-Def cable then.

What patcher are you using?

Have you tried hex editing the dash?

Wow, I didnt know about this, and all my Xbox menus were all blurry and horrible - now nice and crisp - lovely job!

no, i'm a dumbass at code editing! how does it work, is it easy?

[Hitcher]

It's easy.

Get this - XVI32 Hex Editor

Load xboxdash.xbe

Search > Replace

Find Hex String - C7 46 28 20 00 00 00

Replace with Hex String - C7 46 28 40 00 00 00 (for prog scan only) or C7 46 28 00 00 00 00 (for auto-selecting)

Replace All and Save.

this seems pretty easy! thanks very much, Hitcher! i will give it a try this evening and feedback!

[Uli]

hex editing worked perfectly! thanks again!

only one remaining annoyance: the intro sequence and title screen still runs in 480i. can i do something about it?
