Cant seem to get this to work correctly

if i use it and select my usb hdd i flash's real fast nothign listed
if i use it in my thumb drive select usb it does some bars stuff and lists what xbla game i have and others
if i select hdd i get xbla games but nothing on usb hdd lists
all other dashs seem to work fine not sure what if anything im doing wrong

hence ftp only works when loaded from thumb drive not sure whats going on

shrugs not understanding this usb hdd issue
looks as if it starts to scan the hdd for content etc but instantly stops looking and goes to dash then nothing listed and since there is nothign listed I guess the ftp wont work getting no dashboard indexing file found

figured it out i think changed added <path>usb1:\Games\</path>
now all is fine i think running indexer now

to get the images you need the files from the "original xex packet". because there are some apps you need to run on you PC to get SS and images.

i'v burned a dvd with the default.xex included in quickboot, and the config file with the FreeStyle path into it, but doesnt autoboot.
the autoboot dvd media option on the NXE is activated.

what is wrong?

dvd root:  

default.xex
config.ini (hdd:\Applications\FreeStyle\FreeStyleDash.xex <-- the only one line in the ini file)

found out it was not the config it was i needed to reboot my 360 withotu both in to get the usb hdd to work correctly

either case tried to reroute the content folder to where my xbla games are held wont work for me
have them in content in in 360dashit folder so i added this <path>usb0:\360dashit\Content\</path> but no go nothing list

Wow, this will be the first thing I install after I've installed a rebooter in my new Xbox Thanks axc97c! And thanks again for making it open source, looking forward to see what can become of this. I can provide a Swedish translation if you'd like (Sent you a PM about this as well in case you miss my post )

Requests:

• Built-in scraper
• Samba share mounting over network (should be possible if FTP is possible right?)
• Direct ISO launching (granted, this would require a fuckload of work, but imagine how awesome it would be!)
• Complete NXE replacement (is this kernel stuff maybe?)
  - ability to launch everything the NXE can
  - auto start on console power on

dstruktiv has nothing to do with all that, would be cool if you could thanks xedev team instead

He did at the top of page 3.

Again axc97c, fucking amazing work dude! Keep it up and you'll be a scene hero in no time!

seems some arcades dont boot off the usb HD with this...... the ones that dont work boot fine with xm360

an example?

Trials HD
Brain Challenge
Braid - doesnt load with xm360 also
Shadow Complex
Castle Crashers
Chessmaster live
Lumines LIVE

.....just a few that i have tested

[_n3o_]

for trials HD i don't know why but i have now 2 versions , a XEX and a content one ?! do i need to delete one or the other ?

[c@rtm@n]

Sorry again but can anyone provide a quick step by step instruction on where to put the files that are in the download, where to run which files etc to get this installed and working properly?

[Anthrox]

I wish Microsoft would do somthing like this there placement of items within the current dashboard just plan CRAP

you would think they would have a main menu items more like is to make this easy to fine but NO you have to go into MY XBOX then to a crappy menu system

Games
   -- Installed
            - Under here it goes into that coverflow like view of the game front covers
   -- GOD
   -- XBLA
   -- Indy
   - RECENT GAME1
   - RECENT GAME2
    etc

 I used Quickboot to make a shortcut to the dash.  It now shows up in my demos.

why would u want isoloader? 7gb games? no thank you.
i prefer extracting games way smaller

All these games work fine for me.

There is , a list of blacklisted games, which contains a version of Shadow Complex (the free complete trial glitch) that will cause this particular version not to show up under your dashboard's arcade game list. This version will not run if launched by Freestyle. Although i don't think you have all these "older" versions of the games? Do they all appear/launch fine from nxe dashboard? They are all containers right? and not extracted?


@axc97c :   I first tried your app last night, i used my usb keyboard to setup the ip address of this jtag console i'm setting up for a friend, and left the usb keyboard plugged in.  I was then launching Freestyle from Xexmenu 1.1, and for the life of me it just kept crashing and crashing. Sometimes after 3 seconds, sometimes after 2 minutes, but it would always hang. I didn't notice at first , so FDSindexer just kept downloading , and trying to send by ftp without success , since Freestyle was frozen. After many tries , i was only successful indexing but a few games at a time, and didn't want to go through all the collection by hand. So i tried using xexmenu has the ftp server, so that it could transfer all the artwork without crashing, and it did , but i then noticed the screenshot and boxart counts were not set, neither was the description, since obvisouly Freestyle must be returning those values to the indexer. So there i was with all the artwork on my hdd, but still not indexed.

Until i decided to remove all peripherals from my 360, ( at that point i actually thought it was a usb hdd that was connected) pulling the plug i noticed it was my kb.   So , overall, i was always booting the 360 with the kb, launching xexmenu , then freestyle, and that crashed it everytime. So that should be looked into. With the kb unplugged,  i was able to gather all the artwork without a hitch.

The reason i told you my life just now , is for suggestions. Since the only way to save the content.xml is to be connected via ftp, when freestyle crashed, i kept losing my progress, so maybe it should save every 5 games, or it could be saved locally. Maybe, actually, all the artwork could be saved locally , and ftp'ed all at once when the download is done, with the option to keep locally? When i succeeded to transfer all the artwork with indexer, i exited and clicked save and rebooted freestyle while exiting ,yet my artwork was not shown. So i tried one last time , and this time it seemed to only scan my hdd and recreated the content.xml , that i then saved using the save button , instead of saving while quitting , and then it worked. Maybe a "scan hdd" function could be usefull, to avoid redownloading all artwork if problems occured during indexing..

I know it doesn't support file managing yet, but maybe eventually a simple "Copy to hdd" function could be added for xbla titles, this way, people could place their collection on dvds , and either launch from them , or copy them to hdd..

Great first release, the future is looking bright.

But great first release!
