Jizmo, good point. That gives hope.

I really hope the kiosk Hexic still runs with this new patch installed. I can't help testing however, I don't want to loose the possibity to run .swf files (not just yet). I'm still working on a small game in flash for the xbox 360...

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.

Sounds like a possibility.

Someone could write the following files to a new CDR (or CDRW, or any other medium), in the root:
Splash.swf
HexicDeluxe.swf
default.xex (found in the \demos\Hexic\ map on the Kiosk disk)

and see if it boots from your XBOX 360 with the new update installed. It runs perfectly on a non-updated xbox 360. Ohw and when it doesn't boot the first time, try 3 times... just to be absolutely sure.

I have an updated xbox 360, and I have tried your method. Disk wont boot, and yes I tried it multiple times. The disk contained the files you listed, and it didnt work. Looks like MS put a media checker within the dash itself (or something along those lines). Whats this I hear about a newer kiosk disk?

hmm my 360 has not gotten this new update yet... I'm reluctant to plug in my network adapter on my 360 until we know everything this new update will do. I like being able to show people "look! my 360 can run a burned disk!!!"

So, I still have a 360 that will run the kiosk disk... 2 in fact...

I too tried it on an updated xbox360 at work and it didn't boot either. I think this confirms it. We now need to find an alternative way of getting a flash player (either the kiosk disk's or the hdd version of Hexic) up and running.

i have a feeling that the 360 might now check for that little movie on the DVD... since we don't burn that, we just burn the .xex... it might be a cool idea to try, although it'd hard to get onto the DVD.

I burned the full kiosk disk (4.7gb or so), but it doesnt read that either. There must be something in the actuall xex that MS can distinguish from others.

Yes, see here.

Maybe the Dashboard is checking the MD5 Checksum and maybe we can change some bytes to change the MD5 Checksome to play it (without deak preak's help of course)

It’s been reported that original Experience X360 Kiosk disks still work following the Dash update! – so the blocking is based on it not being on an XBOXDVD, in addition to any other checks.

PS. Changing a single byte will invalidate the xex signature - so it won't play for that reason instead.

Has anyone tried adding in the DVD-video session to the ISO to see if that's what it checks for?

I.e. the DVD-video that plays if you put the disc into a DVD player or computer DVD-ROM.

Since they already suspect an attack on the DVD-firmware itself is imminent, the next easist thing for them to check for is the presence of a valid video session.

You could have just read the thread instead of bumping it.  The goal of the Flash360 project is running feature-rich homebrew flash content on the 360.

Has anyone else continued work on the Hexic Flash player?

Also, have any of the new games got a firmware updater in them to be wary of?

sorry if its been mentioned but retail australian boxes will still boot the kiosk disc, any update will block it of course.

if only we could keep our 360's alive for more than 48hrs
