What on earth is Avalaunch?
Avalaunch is an XBOX Dashboard replacement that attempts to take as much control as possible away from the PC and right on the XBOX where you need it. Think of it as a cutting edge update to the EvolutionX era dashboards.
What is the latest release?
0.48.64
If I install Avalaunch, can I still use EvolutionX?
Yes, it's very easy to have the two installed simultaneously, however we are willing to bet that after a week of having Avalaunch installed you'll wonder what the point is in even keeping EvoX :) Read our tutorial on it for more information.
Why does Avalaunch crash when I try to enter the language settings?
Remove the "media/languages/greek.ini" file. It got packaged by a mistake in 0.44.
Where can I get Avalaunch?
Try the usual places... alternatively, if you are already running Avalaunch, simply use the update feature.
How do I join a channel in the IRC client? And how do I leave it?
type "/j channel" to join a channel. To leave, just press the black button.
What commands are currently supported in the IRC client?
The following commands are supported:
/server
/nick
/join or /j
/msg
/me
Why does my USB keyboard work in xbox linux, but not in Avalaunch?
Your keyboard isn't standards compliant. We use the built-in xbox kernel USB drivers, unfortunately not all keyboards are supported by it. Xbox linux has its own USB drivers.
Will you guys make a web browser for Avalaunch?
No, probably not. You guys have NO idea how much work that is, do you? Remember Mozilla? It took them 5 years just to CLEAN UP the code.
My IRC and Auto update will not connect!
Either in the Settings menu or in the xml file this must exist.
And you need a server that doesnt require IDENTD
Ip address:
Subnetmask:
Default gateway:
And at least one DNS server.
If you use a DHCP server at home, reflect this in your scope.
How do I navigate the onscreen keyboard with the gamepad?
When you are in the right menu for editing:
Press white button to get the keyboard up.
Y is Enter
Press white button again to remove the keyboard.
How do I use the old "skins" with the new 0.48.64 release?
Delete the background.png, menu.png and launch.png in the Media folder. Then copy the old background.jpg file in.
I can't seem to FTP into avalaunch, what is wrong with it??
Chances are, nothing. If your network connection to your xbox was working prior to your install of Avalaunch, and your problem consists of the FTP connecting, but not working *exactly* right for whatever reason, then chances are that you aren't using the right username/password combination. Go back and edit the .xml file, and scroll down to the section that looks like this: <user name="Default" password="">, and change the settings to be unique to you. Once you have done this, most users problems will vanish. Another important thing: trying different FTP clients. While CuteFTP works great for some, others have better luck with FlashFXP, or any other personal favorite. Try these things before screaming that our FTP sucks :)
Does Avalaunch support In Game Reset (IGR)?
Not at the moment, however most newer BIOS's do support these feature by default. Try pressing Left and Right Triggers, Back, and Start on a fullsize controller, or for an S controller use Left and Right Triggers, Black, and Back.
