How To Set Up Evox

Open evox.ini with notepad. The first set of options are pretty clear, so I'll skip them. If you want to connect to your Xbox, you have to have SetupNetwork = Yes. The rest depends on your network settings. If you have a DHCP Server, then set StaticIP to No. If you don't, then set it to Yes. If you selected Yes, then you have to enter the IP and Subnetmask. The subnet has to be the same as the computer you are connecting to. The IP has to be different from all other computers on the network. I don't think that the Defaultgateway matters, so just enter the IP of the computer you are using.

Now skip down to [Menu]. This is pretty simple. Use the format Item "-name-","-file_to_run-". Everything between the quotations should be changed to what you want. For a "folder", the format is Section "-name-". The top of this section has to be Section "Root" Brackets, {}, are used to isolate folders. So a correct folder could be:

Section "Root"
		{Section "Launch Menu"
			{Item "Linux","e:\lunux\default.xbe"
			Item "DVD","e:\dvd\default.xbe"
			Item "XBMP","e:\xbmp\default.xbe"}
		Section "Boot From D:"
			{Item "Boot From D:","d:\default.xbe"}
		}

Evox can also perform actions. The format for this is Item "-name-",@#. The # is the number of the action that you want to perform. An example is Item "MS Dashboard",@3. Here is a list of the built in actions:

@1 Flash the BIOS
@2 User actions (@210 means run user action 10)
@3 Launch the original dashboard
@4 Launch Menu
@5 Reboot
@6 Network
@7 Hard Drive Info
@8 Launch
@9 Evox Settings
@10 Shutdown
@11 Backup to C:\Backup on Xbox
@13 Skins

More options to use in the menu.

• Line - This makes a line of text
  	Example: Line "-Auto Items-"

• SortStart and SortEnd - List items alphabetically
• SortAll - Sorts all the items in that section
• AutoAddItems - Automatically adds all the default.xbe files that are under the specified folder Example: AutoAddItems "E:\Utils"

I guess that it is time to get to the User Actions. Think of them as batch files. The top has to be [Action_#] where the # is the number of the action.

• Info - Tells the user what is going to happen
  	Example: Info "This will format your HDD"

• Warning - Displays a warning message with a yes/no response Example: Warning "Do you wish to continue"
• Progress - Displays a progress bar and the text in quotes Example: Progress "Formatting HDD"
• ConfigSector - Configures the boot sector with the .BIN in quotes Example: ConfigSector "d:\backup\disk.bin"
• Format - Erases all of the information on the partition Example: Format c:
• Copy - Copies the file from the 1st set of quotes to the 2nd set Example: Copy "d:\" "c:\"
• FlashBIOS - Flashes the BIOS with the .BIN in the quotes (Don't use this if you don't know what you are doing) Example: FlashBIOS "d:\bios\evox v2.4.bin"
