Freestyle Xbox 360 Dash v1.08

Freestyle Xbox 360 Dash v1.08
Published by: forahobby on Thursday, February 11, 2010
Tagged: Gaming, Hardware, Homebrew, Xbox 360,

A new version of the Freestyle Xbox 360 Dashboard for homebrew Xbox 360 has just been released by Axc97c.

I decided that instead of focusing of file copying and browsing operations, I would make the game launching and browsing as good as i could.




New stuff since last public release (v1.03):
* FTP speeds now 10Mb+ to internal HDD.
* FTP working in many more clients (see FTP info section).
* Copy DVD to USB drive or HDD.
* View recently played games.
* Preview video for each game.
* Sounds within user interface.
* View free disk space on all drives.
* Date and Time in dashboard.
* Background Artwork.
* Add images manually using indexer.
* Full file browser support, including copy, move, delete etc.

Future of Freestyle Dash
I no longer have to time to continue development of this dashboard. I may have time for the odd fix, but for it to continue to develop someone needs to set up a svn and project page and get the community developing it further. I have included the full source code to everything to build the dash and indexer, but if ive missed anything please let me know.
