Xbox 360:XeXDash

XexDash, not to be confused with the more popular XeXmenu, is a minimal custom dashboard capable of launching game backups, FTP, and changing fan speeds. On release, XexDash was used for supporting Chinese and Japanese characters in game and folder names, a feature that caused issues on other dashboards.

• The default username/password for FTP is "xbox" and "xbox".

• If you have issues using FTP after using this dashboard, delete the XexDash.xml file it generated on hdd1:\. You may need to completely remove the dashboard and restart your Xbox 360 to get it to work.

Installation

As a Demo Shortcut

Extract File:XexDash Demo.7z and copy the contents to Hdd1:\ or usb1:\. Launch it from the Microsoft dashboard by navigating to Game Library > Demos > XexDash.

As a XEX

Extract File:XexDash.7z and copy the contents to a folder on your Xbox 360. Use a file manager to navigate into the folder and launch it by selecting the .xex.
