Thanx again for working on this vital JTAG-box component that makes things that much better.

 That said: Dashlaunch has a number of 'issues' , Although I haven't tried out any of the newer versions (2.0 onwards) I can only assume there are still some existing issues as I haven't read anything in the changelogs. I've noticed that UsbMu's seem to often mount as USB: (Going by the cygnos serial output) And this makes sense to what happens if u have USB and USBmu at the same time. Also I and others have noticed some other intermittent issues which have only been experienced since 9199/DashLaunch 1.0 and don't seem to occur as much without the flashinstaller having flashed the info on there (Eg; 360 shuts down for no apparent issue etc..) Obviously a lot of these issues have little or nothing to do with dashlaunch, but I thought seeing as you were working on it again, that I would try and compile some sort of fault log (If only a short one) having confirmed the fault exists on the newer version (whenever it gets posted in the usual place - Haven't seen it there yet)

I'll try make this easy for you...

v2.02
- added version info to data struct exported at ordinal 1
- made number of times button holds are scanned variable, longer window
    at boot time to sync controller and hold a button
- added region spoofing for XGetGameRegion
- DVD video play from NXE now plays DVD regardless of default setting

v2.01
- corrected flash mu mount point (thanks Antho02 at l-s)
- added kernel version check to installer as some xbr using folks seem incapable
    of reading the first line of this file

v2.0
- plugins now use logical paths just like quick launch buttons
- option subvert Y to exit miniblade while in NXE to load button/default (fixed)
- added common (9199) content and ping limit patches as options
- mostly runs in system threads, startup completes while bootanim runs
- completely subverted dash.xex, no more CD issues or NXE split seconds
- removed insistance on 0/1/2 paths and reliance on CaPs to detect
- return to NXE via miniblade for system settings and others works w/o using RB
- added big block NAND mu as possible device
- optionally subvert Y to exit miniblade while in NXE to load button/default
- added xell loader to patch set and included a xex to load xell
- removed reboot on fatal error from patches
- included reboot/shutdown on fatal error as settings
- installer onscreen output cleaned up, now shuts down console at end of install
- added ini file updater to installer
- added patch updater to installer

The bold ones pretty much cover the bugs you just mentioned. Your previous problems were noted and could not be covered by a 'bug fix release' to 1.0. Unlike some folks who tend to misuse version numbers, going from 1.0 to 2.0 in this case denotes a major code change... give 2.02 a go and I'd bet you will be pleased (unless you are one of the very rare folks who run into ini parsing issues (link).)

- added region spoofing for XGetGameRegion

does this mean the the regionpatchplugin is not needed anymore?

and thx for dash launch, love it : )

I just put 2.01 on both my boxes last night...one day...I should have waited one stinking day...lol.  But seriously, thx for the update.  mucho appreciated.

[p4r0l3]

Same situation here, I'd literally just flashed 2.01 (over 1.0) when I saw my RSS update with 2.02.

Glad to see updates coming though, DL seems more stable

I was asking myself the same thing,anyone...

[danthaman673]

Fair enough, I perhaps should have read over the changelog a little more carefully. - Sorry

I've been following the parsing issues as I/we have had some1 report issues with (it) previously also (We like to play around quite a bit with DL since ur first release but I can't say 4sure if there is any sort of genuine issue with parsing as I haven't been able to replicate either (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grr.gif)  as was said before, it could be a case of user had one file in ANSI and one in UTF-8 and was clicking save - as opposed to save as in UTF-8 ? I suspect some OS's as defaulting to unicode or ANSI unless otherwise specified everytime - might depend on editor etc..)

 I don't know if this is relevant (to anything) but : I've had ppl claiming that ini's are(or can be?) case sensitive , I haven't taken the time to investigate that claim though - I recommend ppl cut and paste paths to save drama arising from typos etc ..

Anyway - Cheers guys, If you need any help testing on any variety of console eg; Cygnos V2 (Unique probs seem to sometimes occur on cygnos for some strange reason - SMC perhaps ..) Then let us know. Now alls I need is somewhere to get the new version ... .. .

Ok, I hate to sound like a newbie, but I launched the installer (seems like it installed/updated the launch.xex and lhelper.xex on the flash). And then I copied over a launch.ini to the usb containing this...

"Default = Usb:\Freestyle\default.xex"

I am sure I am missing something stupid simple as to why it isn't booting correctly, but what is it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Btw, this is on a jasper 256...

Thanks in advance!

I'm still hoping someone will upload a (zipped in case the transfer site tries to do a text file transfer instead of bin) sample of a problem ini (where they have to use hdd1: instead of hdd: or similar.) As to where to find it... it's definitely in "the usual places" if one looks to things like development and system apps (or simply does a site search for launch as the MOTD suggests you do.)

burritoboy9984:
what you seem to want is a launch.ini with only this in it

CODE

[QuickLaunchButtons]
Default = Usb:\Freestyle\default.xex

No quotes, no nothing; see sample_launch.ini and info_launch.ini included to describe syntax... yes I know, it requires actually reading but if you don't you miss things like

QUOTE

; all comments and fields in this file are optional, you can remove anything you don't need - section headers []
; are required for any used options under the section

[burritoboy9984]

I don't have the quotes inside the file, I was just trying to show the part I had in the file... I did miss the section header part Will try and report back

-Erik

Edit: Thx, got it Knew it was something simple

[SilentBob1638]

It fucks up Xexmenu here completely. When i try to start it out of NXE or miniblade the console shuts down. V2.01 worked properly.
