[OFFICIAL] X360 Dashboard/Game Updates


Recommended Posts

how do i check the dshboard version?

System Blade > Console Settings > System Info (Bottom One).

Quick question how do I make sure that it is in 1080p mode? When you connect the VGA it doesn't tell you. It just gives the resolution.

Uhh, i'm not sure if I understand exactly what you mean, but if you have it set to the 1920x1080 resolution, you should be in 1080p mode.

Hmmm. Ok. Funny thing about my tv is that when I use the vga cables it never fills up the whole screen. There are bars on the left, right, top and bottom. Also thought I use to beable to put it in that res before the update came out. Maybe I'm just paranoid.

some TVs limit the resolution through the VGA port... I know my tv supports 1080i through HDMI and Component but not VGA

my tv only supports 1080i, so the 1080p is kind of useless to me right now. the update isn't all that great in my eyes (appearance wise) just the marketplace looks different to me.. but i like the improvements and hard work they put into it (Y)(Y)(Y)

hehehe... :shifty: :whistle:

what you see on the fall update is just a placeholder for what's coming to the 360 and all it did was just to layout the plumbing for something that will catch everybody pants down...

muhahahahahahaaaa!!!!! :devil:

like hell ill be caught with my pants down....last time it almost put me in the drunk tank for a night

when will we know spartan?

I don't know if I have something setup wrong, but my DVDs only play in 4:3 mode. I have my 360 set in 1080i mode and the rest of the content plays normally in 16:9 mode. I thought that this update was going to upconvert DVDs. Also, I'm using the component cables to connect to my tv.

Unfortunately, MS can't allow upconversion over component cables. If your TV has a VGA input you can always use the VGA cable.

Yes, an HDMI cable is needed. But it would probably be a MS only one that costs $100. Until then, I will have to settle for a separate DVD player that upconverts.

What about the games man!? :p Doesn't matter to me, but I'm sure a lot of 1080p HDTV owners want the HDMI cable simply for gaming.

I have HDMI but don't need it. My VGA does everything it can do.

thats great... but most of the 1st generation 1080p HDTVs that came out only support the 1080p through HDMI...(even the 1080p TV that are out now very few support 1080p over component..) even worse my sony tv cripples the VGA input to low as hell resolutions...

I'd pay $100 for an HDMI cable as long as it works. ;)

$100 isn't really much when you're trying to get the most out of your $2,000 HDTV investment.

Now if they someone could make an adapter that would allow you to use your own HDMI cable, that would be best.

I got this wierd thing after the update. My wireless controller with a battery pack seems to run a friggin light show on the ring of light. Every now and then (60 secs or less) the lights in the four corners are lit then goes back to normal. Seems to drain the battery too. :(

Wish you wouldn't do that, makes me more excited about whats in store for the Xbox further down the line :(

    • Still 3x what it should cost. So, it seems the trick is to increase price by 6x so that a reduction in price back to 4x looks like a steal. "You savvy shoppers win again!" I'm glad I'm not in a desperate spot to actually even need this overpriced crap. Hopefully, it comes back down by the time for when (or if) I ever do.
    • Although AI is great and has it's use cases they likely have massively overhyped it and it has not delivered as per their expectations. I fully expect them to start saying the same things again when it does get to a certain level of intelligence!
    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.
