With Xbreboot/Freeboot? Was just wondering, I know you can plug the controller in the back usb port but I have to borrow a friends every time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

i was thinking about this recently, im no expert, but i think it should be simple...

im not sure if the current rebooters out there are open source or what, but using some of that code, i think it would be possible to build an xex that reboots the console into xell, place it in the demos like we place xexloader... and then just run it and youll reboot into xell...

i was about to go on a little adventure and try to build something like this myself (huge adventure actually)... but then i remembered how slow ubuntu runs on my 360 with no HD resolution support and no flash video player for firefox...so i figured it would be a waste of time...

also at the current rate that homebrew is being released, my software woulda been obsolete in no time... so ive decided to play the waiting game... well see what happens!

I hope it will be, sucks having to use the xbox tv remote.

you can also plug a wired controller in the back usb and fire it up

^^ I belive thats what the OP is having trouble with  

AFAIK you can plug a USB keyboard in and hold down the windows key too  

Thats actually pretty handy, didnt know about it. Thanks!

doesnt work well with every keyboard, some people have had luck..others havent. alternative would be a wired GH/RB guitar.

Eh, I doubt it. Xell runs directly on the CPU, everything about it is self-contained. Any time you run a program through the dashboard, the Hypervisor is still running and overlooking everything. The 360 OS would still be active in the background, but many of the things Xell does would require 100% full control of the system.

if you have the Xbox 360 dvd media remote, you can use the Windows button on it to boot into Xell as well

[FutabaGP]

Why booting into xell so perverted...

put a xell modified king kong inside a live container file and put it on your 360's hdd & it can boot into xell from the xbox360 dash (will be the old xell) but works great for linux + there might be a way to insert the new xell into the king kong files if anyone wants to look into it, i would do it myself but i have no time until after the new year

Actually, it has to be possible. Since the KK exploit runs from a game that itself as usual runs from the dashboard, there simply MUST be a way to get Xell booted from the dash

[BiN4RY^]

No, it's not possible.

Works great, thanks.

Would you care to explain why? I mean, if I can start KK to get into Xell, why can't I start other software to get into Xell?

Because it was a unique exploit?
