UIX

UIX

User. Interface.X (UIX for short) is homebrew software for modified Xbox consoles, and requires a modchip or softmod in order to run. UIX started as a project between modders of the original Xbox dashboard, The actual patches for the dashboard are legal, as they themselves don't contain any Microsoft code (XIP/XAP Modifications) Much like the Evolution-X Dashboard which is made up of XDK Samples and thirdparty code. It's also been said that Microsoft has taken pieces of the patches to include in their own releases of their software, for example the dashboard's 3D Graphics were stationary in the original releases, in newer versions they rotate (This was a patch to make it more appealing).

* Patches released online for 'True Blue' graphics (The birth of the Xbox Dashboard skin)
* DVD Region Free patch released
* tHc Dashboard hits the net
* BlackstormX is shortly released after (a modification of a modification.)
* FTP is soon placed in the dashboard
* Xbox Dash Next (XDN) is released to 'compete' with BSX
* tHc and BSX merge to create UIX
* UIX is the most widely used (and heavily modified) original Xbox dashboard in the Xbox Homebrew scene.

Features

UIX features many things you don't find in the original dashboard.
* Dongle Free DVD Playback
* Region Free DVD Player
* Customized Skinning Engine (Incorporated via Microsofts own XIP/XAP system)
* Homebrew Launcher
* File Explorer
* Application Icons
* CD Art
* FTP Server
* Re-Write of the Script engine

The networking in this dashboard was all put in by a third party (Team UIX) not Microsoft. Contrary to what many believe, The Xbox Dashboard does not contain any networking capabilitys. (The Xbox Live! dashboard does, and the main dashboard only changes settings for it.)

Legality

Contrary to what many believe the patches for the dashboard like the File Explorer, Dongle Free DVD, and the changes to regional settings are all legal and most of the patches for the original dashboard can still be found on Xbox-Scene [http://www.xbox-scene.com] and its forums. Though since it is still Microsofts main application for the Xbox, No binarys are released to the public, Unlike the XBMC project which is perfectly legal until compiled, UIX cannot be distributed online as a whole.

Other Projects using parts of UIX
