INTRODUCTION:
	Unleash(ed)X, or UnleashX, simply put, is an Xbox Application/Game launcher, with a few other features thrown in. The name isnt pretty nor catchy enough, but its no way final and Im pretty much open to suggestions. I have thought of calling it N.A.D (for Not Another Dashboard) but decided not to. Ive designed UnleashX with safety in mind. I intentionally left out any feature that could potentially render your xbox useless, except for the HD formatting. This dash has been tested on V1.0, V1.1 and V1.4 xboxes with X2 4976.02/4977/4979, Evox D6/M7 BIOS.

See the separate skin pack/documentations for more info.

FEATURES:
	UnleashX has the basic feature of a dashboard. It can automatically search your HD, or DVD if run from it (though you should not let it search the dvd for speed reason). Here is a small list of the current feature of UnleashX:

1)	Auto search for games/application with thumbnail for display. Searches and indexes your Hard drive for Xbox titles. Uses icon embedded within the xbe file or custom icon (Icon.png, Icon.jpg).
2)	File manager (Copy/Move/Delete/QuickDVDCopy, Support for copy and resume so you dont start from the beginning if an error occurs.)
3)	Game/DVD movie/CD/Data detection with the option to autolaunch them using your favorite media player. Pressing any of the trigger button will suppress auto launching of disk.
4)	Image viewer (bmp, jpg, xbx and xpr built in to the File manager)
5)	Zip/Unzip files right from your xbox. Supports extracting from Xbox Xip files (except xm files). Now you can check the contents of the xip files that came with the xbox without leaving it. 
6)	Auto/Manual clock settings. You can set it to manual so UnleashX ask you for date and time when it becomes invalid (i.e., it has been unplug for too long). If set otherwise, UnleashX will set it Nov 15, 2003.
7)	Password protection for every item. With UnleashX, you can set a password for each menu, submenu, individual item, as well as a system password with maximum number of tries (only for system password. When the maximum is reached, the Xbox will automatically shutdown).
8)	Color scheme. You can change the colors of all items, from the menu color, to the screen dialog, down to the default background and fog color.
9)	Fully configurable (XML config file). To achieve flexibility, XML is used almost everywhere. Its a pretty flexible format but its not an all and be all solution. 
10)	 Widescreen support (HDTV and support for 480p was not tested)
11)	 FTP Server with PASV and multi-client (10 max) support. You can set the Username, password, port, maximum number of users, anonymous access).  While UnleashX supports multiple clients simultaneously, all users must use the same user account (default is Xbox).
12)	 Simple screen saver and Auto-Turn off timer.
13)	 Sound effects (uses internal xbox files-it will still run without them) and uses the soundtrack for background music.
14)	 In-box configuration, so you dont need to do everything from your PC
15)	 USB Keyboard and IR support (Pressing the Display on the IR for more than 1.5 seconds will turn the xbox off though its probably faster to just select the power-off menu item)
16)	 Virtual Keyboard support for all settings.
17)	 Support for Memory Unit thru File manager and FTP server. You can browse and copy/transfer files between your Xbox hard disk and memory unit.
18)	 Partition Formatting. 
19)	 Screen Capture. And with the built in image viewer, you can now view it too (though whats the point?).
20)	 Extensive support for skinning. You can set the skin without restarting.
21)	 Newsfeed support.
22)	 Supports batch command.
23)	 Support for partition G is provided but never tested since I dont have a large drive.
24)	 To keep the footprint small, UnleashX uses a lot of files that are already in your HD like the sound and xbx files. If you have ahacked MS dash, youll probably notice this as long as you didnt rename them to something else.

At the moment, theres not much feature but I plan to keep an adding more as I go about it. Here are some features Im planning to include, but not limited to:
1)	FTP client for your xbox to xbox transfer needs.
2)	Video Support (WMV and XMV only). This is purely for skinners delight. Its not my plan to make UnleashX a full featured multimedia player. We already have those and they work so well.
3)	Text Editor.
4)	SMTP (outgoing mail client) so you can send email right from your xbox. (Though its gonna be a pain in the *** with just the virtual keyboard)
5)	More in-box settings. Xbe renaming, either temporary (via cache) or permanent (xbe). Adding/modifying password for all menu items is also being planned. 
6)	Game save manager
7)	Custom soundtrack support.
8)	And a lot more
