Hard Drive Contents page.

Should this set of pages be formatted to have a main page that lists the various versions of Xbox dashboards as there are many.

The final 5960 and a lot of previous minor and major updates from the initial release on Xbox v1.0's.

I've found a list of versions at two different web sites but the content is not listed for all the HDD files.

  1. http://codeasm.com/xbox/Kernel_Dash_versions.htm
  2. http://toogam.bespin.org/xboxmod/site/versions.htm

```Dashboard Versions from source 2: (all but 1 referenced links were on www.xbox-scene.com)

   3944 (referenced)
       I think this version number may not be displayed on the System Info screen under the Settings option of the dashboard's main menu. 
   4034 (referenced)
   4817 (referenced)
   1.00.4920.01 revision 10027100 (referenced)
       Contains a "C:\xboxdashdata.10027100" directory
       Known to be bundled with an Xbox using 4817 kernel 
   4920 revision 1012a700 (referenced)
       Contains a "C:\xboxdashdata.1012a700" directory
       Bundled with Slayer's EvoX Auto-Installer v2.5 CD which is just over 100MB large. 
   1.00.4960.01 w/ 17cdc100 directory
       Contains a "C:\xboxdashdata.1012a700" directory
       Obtained by using Dash 4920 revision 10027100 and getting an "Xbox Live!" update. The dash was updated to this version and a dialog box said the system needed to restart to obtain the latest dashboard, and then I rebooted and saw this instead of pushing OK in the dialog box and continuing to update. The following files were different:
           The C:\xboxdashdata.1012a700 was renamed to C:\17cdc100
           xboxdash.xbe was different (slightly larger)
           Files under C:\xodash\ were updated, including the two XBE files.
           None of the XBE files were dated later than August of 2003, even though I downloaded the files later. Sorry, this isn't a salvation for Kernel 5713 users. 
   1.00.5659.03 revision 17F14D00
       I believe this came from updating using Ninja Gaiden. 
   1.00.5659.03 revision 17e4cd00 (referenced)
       Sealed the security breaches that let old font hacks and audio hacks work. (All newer versions also will not work with the old hacks.) 
   5960 (referenced)
   sylver77 has concluded that dashboard 4627 does not exist which is why it is never tested in any of the homebrew software. I have seen references to an XDK dashboard version 4627, so I suppose the official XDK developers have some sort of thing called the "XDK Dashboard".
   Some/all of these dashboard versions were simply taken from the MS Dashboard DVD Region Free Patch compatibility list. `


Still looking for archives of all the various versions. A complete list of all files listed for each dashboard version instead of one with all the differences. The main page would list all the major/minor releases of dashboards that a user can select to see the full contents of each version.
