Hi all

Just picked up a jtagged unit, wondering if anyone can recommend what might be the best dash.
I have a 500gb external HDD formatted in HFS (which I understand canot be written to) to store all my emus/games on and wondered what the best dash might be for me, as I know XeX supports HFS.
Alternatively is it worth me formatting to FAT32, so I can rip games straight from the DVD drive to the external disk?
Thanks is advance.

I would definitely format as FAT and save all the hassle.

Also by far the best dash would have to be FSD 2. Xexmenu is more for loading custom xex files and moving files around.

FSD 2.0 can load custom xex's also, you just go to the file manager and push start on the xex you want to load (doesn't have to be named default.xex either).

Excellent, thanks for that additional piece of info.
a it load .xbe's from external disks as well, with the hacked Xbox 1 emu on my official 20gb hard drive?

if you format your drive through nxe you can also rip games with the "install disc" option and using nxe2god. if as soon as you format your hdd you run hdd compat fixer you can run xbox1 games off it as well since the hdd will have the right partitions. i don't know about otherwise but this is what i use.

have fun!

Note that with FAT32, you will not be able to store files larger than 4GB's. So if you were planning on putting any movies or other large files, it won't happen. Doesnt the 360 support NTFS?

Ta guys I'm all sorted on this front now, yeah I know about file formats :-) Hence I deleted all my HD-WMV's when I reformatted and use a WDTV and NTFS external HDD for all my movie needs :-)

if ur using fsd 2.0 u don't need the indexer anymore just make sure u have a connection going through and fsd 2.0 will scrape the covers for you,press right thumb stick and it will report its current status
