What's new

  • Rename and new folder in FILES: press LB to rename the selected file or folder and LT to make a new folder, typing the name on the on-screen keyboard. If nobody is signed in, Orbit opens the sign-in screen first (the keyboard needs a profile), then the keyboard.
  • Profile badge: the signed-in profile's gamer picture and gamertag show at the top of the screen. It's hidden when nobody is signed in.
  • Faster start with lots of box art: the first time Orbit loads a cover it saves a ready-to-draw copy in Covers\Cache\, so later starts skip decoding every JPG. The first start after updating is as slow as before while the cache fills. Replacing a cover is picked up automatically, and the Cache folder is safe to delete.

Changes

  • Original Xbox games on the XBOX shelf are now named after their folder instead of the title inside the game, so you can pick the name: rename the folder (LB in FILES), then run SCAN NOW. Two games are only merged into one entry when both the name and the title ID match.
  • The button hints along the bottom include RENAME (LB) and NEW FOLDER (LT) in FILES.

Upgrading from v0.9.4

Replace Orbit.xex and the Media folder in your Orbit folder (Apps\Orbit, or PeerPressure\Dashboard with Peer Pressure). Media has new pictures for the LB/LT buttons and the profile badge. Your paths, library, covers, menu choices and theme are kept. Run SCAN NOW once so the XBOX shelf picks up the folder names.

New install

Unzip and copy the Orbit folder into Apps on your drive, then follow the README's Install section. For Peer Pressure, follow "Install with Peer Pressure" instead.

Tested on

Xbox 360 S (Trinity) with BadUpdate + Dashlaunch, and with Peer Pressure.
