Anyone found cheating on XLink Kai will be permanently banned from the service.

You can report cheaters to a moderator/admin on the service itself, or in the forum here: https://www.teamxlin...wforum.php?f=33

 Yeah I think they're going to have to ease-up on that policy now that this patch is out,

Modded games are more fun , If you want to play on an even footing: go play xbla (that's why it cost sooo much) And ur garunteed no cheats (almost -except those who waste their KV's - and those numbers are dwindling) It's not like systemlink games are having their stats recorded. Also sometimes mods may be used to compensate for lag , skill etc.. (see my previous post)

I would suggest if you want a normal game on Xlink that you specify 'No mods' and host it urself (ppl are doing this already) It would be fair nor enforcable (as kai wouldn't have the tools to montior/prove/justify banning - they would just join under new accnt 5mins later anyway) It says words to the effect of 'If you get banned you'll know what it's for' that says it all.
 I'm guessing : If you consistently ruin other's games they will prolly MAC ban you or something

Everythings still new and finding it's niche so we will have to wait/see how ppl make use of this amazing new ability. Big thanx to those who dev's it.

You will need freeboot to run the dashlaunch patch, There may be a workaround (but why bother - it's easy to update to 9199 normally)

how did you upgrade to freeboot the first time? if using ibuild everything you need should already be there... just replace those patches files and rebuild just like you did the first time.. but yes you can just obtain it from previous builds or the one current on your nand.

I guess incorrectly :/  The first time I upgraded to Freeboot I used Freeboot Toolbox, entered my CPU Key, selected Xenon as the mobo, and updflash.bin as the file type.  Then clicked generate Freeboot, selected my 7371.bin and got my freeboot dash.  Did I do something wrong?  Now I get an error saying something about my current nand being zeropaired in Flash360 :/

The policy for modding has always been this; if you are going to host a modded game, label your arena as having mods, simple as that.

Enforcement has always been an issue, but if you're pissing off other users you will eventually be banned. (And good luck just making a new account)
As long as everyone gets along and plays by the rules systemlink over kai will be great with this patch  

I'm hoping to pick up an exploitable system soon myself

Took me nearly all evening to get Xlink working with my laptop and router but now it's sorted I've had some fun messing about in modded lobbies  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)  

As long as the host has marked whether the game is modded or not I don't see the problem, I'm sure as Xlink grows in popularity there will be an equal demand for legit hosts aswell (and maybe even games other than MW2  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) ).

hi guys,
          ive been suffering with this all day,  ive used best pig to create freeboot from original nand dump, i selected the custom mode and usde the patch for my falcon from the dashlaunch installer folder, bestpig says freeboot image was created successfully. Ive flashed to nand using flash360. I installed the patch to the root of the xbox hdd and then ran dashlaunch installer default.xex, flashed launch.xex and launch.ini to the nand. Now when i boot the xbox it goes straight to the nxe dash, ive tried pressing B button or X button on startup but it always goes to the nxe dash. ive tried mw2 on xlink with the latest updates but to no avail. Ive modified my launch.ini to try and get it to boot into fsd but its not working. any ideas?

my launch.ini is
[QuickLaunchButtons]
Default = LHdd1:\Freestyle\FreestyleDash.xex
BUT_X = LHdd1:\Content\0000000000000000\C0DE9999\00080000\C0DE99990F586558

the FreestyleDash.xex is located in the Freestyle folder on the root of my xbox hdd.

I think if you're using Bestpig 2.4 you don't need to do a custom build, it already includes Dashlaunch. I had to choose the NAND option as HDD or USB wouldn't boot but otherwise everything else you said should work.

Ignore the warning as it doesn't apply to 9199 freeboot image (KV is in differnt place)

And as the post above says and as I said earlier in this same thread twice: USE THE NAND OPTION!!!
 The rest of the info is in this thread if u need it...

Is your .ini file in UTF-8 *also in my earlier posts* (ie; UTF-8 saved in notepad as opposed to ACSII for those who don't know)
 Sorry to be narcy but I've been getting repitive questions on this on xlink etc.. all night- The offical AGM tut will be out tommorow on the site in my sig (and on XS later if it hasn't already been done)

PS: If you can't get dashlaunch to launch then you can't be sure the patch has applied - Get that going 1st then put ur patch on the hdd root etc..
PPS: Oh yeah : I've heard that the .ini can be case sensitive also - just either cut and paste ur paths or use the sample and make sure everythings where it's meant 2b

Are you using hdmi out? If so you might want to try with av cables. I'm not sure why but my jasper doesn't display any video when I boot into cell if I'm using hdmi.

while not 100% on this.. i dont think xell supports HDMI period... thats why i love my cygnos.. it outputs all that nice xell info right to the cygnos app as if it were hooked up to a tv via av cables

*that and i have a 2nd nand to play with new stuff on while keeping the xbox nand stable =P

[tomgreen99200]

this is great news ! Jtag ftw, wish i had one  

[Leering]

Wait do if I used the best pig program I already have Dashlaunch 1.0?
Is so then I just put this patch in the root of my USB drive right?

You are right it only supports composite, component, and vga, currently.

That cygnos app sounds cool btw

[dangwoot]

just the person trying to connect.

intense work, gents.

hopefully this keeps the knuckleheads off live a little bit, and gives those without a place to jam out.

Finally, thank you to all involved!
