The biggest thing limiting the Flash development is the fact that straight conversion almost never works and debugging is next to impossible. We should have the same flash player with the same limitations on the PC side to easily try out the converted animations and games.

Oooh! - what a good idea.  And I've encountered some open source Flash Players recently.

Or to atleast get launcing SWF's from x360 somehow easier.

I'm researching a few ideas for that.

Yeah, nice idea! Someone could grab an open source flash player and just hack out a lot of features that the xbox version doesnt support And maybe even implement the same fsCommands and getUrls as the XBOX player has.

That would definitely make life debugging easier

Im still updating my downloads on my site as i see them, but recently ive had someone wanting me to create a site for them ect. so i havnt been able to contribute other then supplying the downloads and making my "xbox 360 modchip" video lol you can find that in my sig for the xbox downloads.

SMB?  Would be great if we could get it to work.  Then we'd almost have remote debugging!

Well, it looks like we won't be able to run the actual Kiosk disc after update, so is anyone willing enough to update, and see if we can still load the Hexic XEX from anywhere?

If not, I'll see if I can get my friend to do it.

Personally, I’m in the process of procuring the components I need to connect the X360 HDD to my PC, in order to facilitate new directions in research.  

I've made progress on this (see here).  I'm working toward attempting to get the unpacked HexicHD PIRS archive to run from the HDD first, then I'll try swapping around the SWF file.  I'm doing all this prior to updating the X360 Dash.  If I get it working, I'll update the Dash and retest.

Sounds good^

Yeah, I hope it will still work after the update. Otherwise I think our little flash adventure has come to an end

It's been halted, but it really hasn't come to an end.

First possible scenario: Non-media check DVD firmware patch and booting the hexic from the new v1.4 Kiosk disc - or using the one extracted from the HDD.

Second possible scenario: Getting that HDD reading / writing on PC working properly and replacing the SWF on the HDD with your own ones.

Both scenarios take time to realise, but will happen over time - I wouldn't bury the 360 Flash just yet. If non-media check DVD drives are the only mod we're bound to get anytime soon, Hexic flash is the only probable way of running any kind of homebrew on x360 in the foreseeable future.

Angerwound has reminded me that in his post here he pointed out that the HexicHD FlashPlayer XEX is flagged to only run with within a PIRS archive.  But also that the DVD Kiosk FlashPlayer XEX is also flagged for execution from the hard disk. So, in light of the latest Dash update, the test has changed from trying to gain some benefit for using the (fuller?) HexicHD HDD Flash Player, to simply trying to get the Kiosk DVD Flash Player working again - this time via the hard disk.

PS. Although the latest Dash update prevents the Kiosk demo disk from working, this may have been achieved by simply blocking the demo disk's D:\default.xex - Can someone who has already updated try out a DVD with the Flash Player as the root default.xex.
