Hotkey to switch to HD modes

Latest Xbox Dashboard (5960) force 480p display mode:

Press and hold Left trigger, right trigger, and both analog stick buttons.

The normally displayed 480i dashboard will switch to 480p output while using the Xbox High Definition AV Pack or cable.

Repeat button combo to toggle between 480p and 480i.

Music visualization in fullscreen

Press "Y" then "X" while playing audio CDs or soundtracks stored on the HDD to display full-screen geiss-like music visualization. Or, press Info button on the DVD Playback Kit remote.

Soundtrack name Easter-Egg ("<<Eggsβox>>")

Stored in settings_adoc.xip (which is actually an XBE file)

Steps to activate Soundtrack Easter Egg:

  1. Insert an audio CD and let it begin to play.
  2. Stop the disk and step back (press B) in order to "Copy" selected tracks of the CD to the hard drive.
  3. When the track list comes up, "Select All" and continue.
  4. Choose "New Soundtrack" as the destination for your selection.
  5. Enter the name of your soundtrack exactly as follows: <<Eggsβox>> including the less than, beta, and greater than symbols.
  6. After you have entered the title, select "Done". A "Thank You" message starts which is followed by a scrolling list of the Xbox Team members.
