dont know what the toolbox do as i used ibuild but the launch xex looks for ini on usb if non found it will then look on hdd if non found then it will default to flash for ini so you only need one ini i have mine on usb my self

and you need the smc config from orig nand so your mac and all calibration data for that box as this has mac calibration data for temp reading and showing the display of the correct temp the region of the xbox is stored in there too so this in essence needs to come from the original image

hope this helps

Hey, thanks for the reply. I guess my main question is when building your image with ibuild did you need to do anything to the patches or did you simply replace the ones in the /bin folder and build the image? In regards to the smc, I can extract that from my XBR image and it should be fine, as per the tutorial I mentioned.

If anyone could confirm that this tutorial (Link) would work with dashlaunch by simply replacing the patches with dashlaunches in the /bin direction, I would greatly appreciate it. If not, what would be missing (or need to be done to accomplish this?)


Thanks!

i did it like ZerOneX did a few posts above me

worked like a charm

jasper 512 with orig.bin


what i have noticed:
when updating from XBR3 to freeboot i got a blackscreen...
reflashed XBR through Xellous...
removed "launch.ini" and "launch.xex" from the old Dashlaunch version (stored in the root of hdd1)
after that flashing freeboot worked instantly

hope it helps someone

hmm, maybe there are a problem with old launch.xexand ini's stored on hdd at flashing
will delete them all and reflash my image, hopefully it works
there are others with the same issue on xenon, so that the miniblade.jumps allways goes to NXE, but the bootup works like a dream ?

 Nope : flashed in the above mentioned way
booting up to flash360 works fine, but the quickjump via the miniblade wont work
hmm okay there were 2 moments the miniblade launch to FSD and to flash360 works fine

im on to try to find out if this could be an application issue ?!?

nope there is no issue with old launch.xex as i had left it on my hdd drive when i flashed the new patch on my falcon and my fsd dash was still booting on boot up just that you don't get the extra stuff with it lol if you flash your xbox just put the ini on a usb drive and launch.xex in flash then if something don't work you pull your usb drive and your back to nxe xbox boot to nxe if there's no ini found or path is not set correct they are case sensitive and has to be set like this

[QuickLaunchButtons]
Default = LUsb0:\Applications\FreeStyle\FreestyleDash.xex
BUT_X = LUsb0:\Applications\XeXMenu_v1.1\default.xex
BUT_B = LUsb0:\Applications\xm360v1.5\XM360.xex

...

hmm thanks for the very, very long answer. i really appreciate your upcoming steps to help

but like i said, i reflashed it without any old dashlaunch crap on hold but with the same issue
the strange is that a few games ALLWAYS work, f.e. Alan Wake works with reboot to FSD via the miniblade every time
maybe it IS a problem with xenon and/or the DONOR NAND :-(

I would say user error j/k
But in all seriouness it is probally the donor nand that is giving you your problems.

yes thats the way i thought, too
because there were another user with the same issue like me, on xenon, on donor NAND ..
this cant be an accident ...

maybe someone are also on XENON with a donor NAND and dont have trouble !?
Could u place ur used donor nand in a place 2 download ?

so i could check if this real is a problem of the donor nand i used
cant find more NANDS at google

In freeboot Toolbox 0.032 Maker 2.4 the Dash Launch 1.0 options are for where you must put the launch.xex. You can have the launch.ini anywhere root it will search for it. This also eliminates the need for running flash_installer and injecting into nand if you choose usb or hdd in the toolbox.

One issue I'm having is into launch.xex but when I go miniguide then Y to exit to dashboard it goes NXE no matter what button I hold or dont hold. I have it loading launch.xex from USB.

What ?
In dashlaunch 1.0 the launch.xex has to be flashed in the NAND, not putted on HDD or USB o.O

But I still have the issue using guide button and returning to dash always goes NXE.

Put it in the flash and it will work properly.

Not Working For Me... Using Freeboot toolbox 2.4

I want to be able to boot freestyle dash (FreeStyle/FreestyleDash.exe - on internal HD) whenever i plug in my external HDD with Games...

So, Checked "USB" option in toolbox and flashed... Not Working

CODE

[QuickLaunchButtons]
Default  = LHdd:\Freestyle\FreestyleDash.xex

(UTF-8 Format)

So i tryed(or tried?) to flash launch.xex on the nand with the flash_installer... nope again... it's not booting anything... Plz help

==================

GOT IT TO WORK!!
Small Walktrought for everyone:

My need was to boot up freestyle dash everytime a plug in the HDD with the games...

So, I made the updflash.bin with Freeboot toolbox 2.4 w/ the "USB" option, flashed the updflash.bin using flash360, then saved this launch.ini in the root of the USB HDD:

CODE

[QuickLaunchButtons]
Default  = LHdd:\Freestyle\FreestyleDash.xex

(SAVED IN UTF-8 Format)
(Pay Attention to the path... It'S CaSe-sEnSiTIvE!)

then i placed the launch.xex in the root of the usb hdd.

IT WORKS!!

When you press guide then y then yes does it boot to FSD or NXE for you?

[kettenschutz]

im glad to read that u could solve ur issue
but i cant really believe that its supported to put the launch.xex on the usb or hdd

thought this has to be in NAND; cause this is the only location the flashed image searched for ...

Yeah it's strange cos i read that in the readme of dashlaunch... :S But it works... xD!

And it use the 1.0 patches cos if not how it could support the new ini file? :S

[omegastar]

Ok I'm an idiot it does work when I use the guide to go back to dash. The problem was I was only trying wile I was already in NXE or FSD but in games it works as it should.

you need to hold the left trigger if you already in nxe wile you pres yes the screen goes black and as soon as it do you press your shortcut or press nothing to go back to default

this works a charm for me not once has it hiccuped on my since i fix my xbox when i return to dash it always go to my fsd never once so far has it gone to nxe by mistake like mentioned in readme

[kettenschutz]

okay im happy so your problems could be completely solved :-)


if i could make a question to yours were the dashlaunch works fine :

which mobo are u using ?
Did you got an original NAND backup ?
Do the back2fsdfromMinibladeStuff works from ALL Games ?



And, last but not least, are there others with XENON and donor NAND who have issues ?
