Hi there

When i starting to develop on 360, the main problem is it's not possible to access the storage freely

You can see with XLaunchNewImage (xex launching) that you are locked in a "virtual drive"

So for those interested in 360 xdk dev, a piece of code, give u access to all the storage hardware (nand, memory unit, sata hdd, removable usb)

CODE

/*
    
    List of physical drive
    
    "\\Device\\Flash"
    "\\Device\\Mu1"
    "\\Device\\Mu0"
    "\\Device\\Cdrom0"
    "\\Device\\Harddisk0\\Partition0"
    "\\Device\\Harddisk0\\Partition1"
    "\\Device\\Harddisk0\\Partition2"
    "\\Device\\Harddisk0\\Partition3"
    "\\Device\\Mass0"
    "\\Device\\Mass1"
    "\\Device\\Mass2"
    
    */
    
    #define DEVICE_NAND_FLASH 0
    #define DEVICE_MEMORY_UNIT0 1
    #define DEVICE_MEMORY_UNIT1 2
    #define DEVICE_CDROM0 3
    #define DEVICE_HARDISK0_PART0 4
    #define DEVICE_HARDISK0_PART1 5

    } STRING;
    
    // Follow the white rabbit ^^
    extern "C" int __stdcall ObCreateSymbolicLink( STRING*, STRING*);
    extern "C" int __stdcall ObDeleteSymbolicLink( STRING* );
    
    void Monter( int periphPhys, char* lettreLecteur )
     {
         char lecteurCible[16];
         sprintf_s( lecteurCible,"\\??\\%s", lettreLecteur );
    
         char * periphOriginal;
         switch( periphPhys )
         {

         break;
    
         STRING PeriphOriginal = { strlen( periphOriginal ), strlen( periphOriginal ) + 1, periphOriginal };
         STRING LienSymbolique = { strlen( lecteurCible ), strlen( lecteurCible ) + 1, lecteurCible };
         ObCreateSymbolicLink( &LienSymbolique, &PeriphOriginal );
     }
    
    void Demonter( char* lettreLecteur )

        ObDeleteSymbolicLink( &LienSymbolique );
    }
    
    // Here, we mount the part containing all major stuff (profile, xbox live game etc...)
    Monter(DEVICE_HARDISK0_PART1, "hdd1:");

    // We test if all working correctly by using the xex launching function
    XLaunchNewImage("hdd1:\\xexalancer.xex", NULL);

Hope that can help people to made good advance in dev

Hey guys

I've tried to make this work, but the dash just gives me "Game Error" bla bla bla. I've set it up in VS2005, use the newest XDK, pointed to a valid xex file, it compiles fine but won't work. I tried with a command to make it launch the game library, that works fine. But somehow the code fails.

Could someone send me some source code from a project where this is implemented?

Thanks!

I fixed it !!

The code i missing a "}" after the last "break;"

Thank you very much for this code!

Nice to see it's useful. Yeah, the missing } ^^

I used it to make a small LIVE container that can run games from the original dashboard, just lige you run XeXLoader. Then there is no need to put the game files into the container, just make the container run the default.xex from HDD no problem with games > 4GB.
