Toddler, any disk in the dvd drive? Also, check to see if auto start disk is on or off in the system settings, some have claimed this affects dash launch regardless of whether there is a disk in the drive.

Thanks, but nope--no disc in the drive, and I don't have auto start turned on.

- RESOLVED -

The issue was not the drive jumper settings.  The issue was with my launch.ini file as posted above.  For some reason, Dashlaunch 2.09 chokes with the brackets in the commented last two lines of the ini file.  Makes no sense to me (1) why 2.08 has no issue but 2.09 does, or (2) why it matters at all since the lines are commented.  At any rate, I removed the brackets and 2.09 is now running reliably with RPS jumpered on my WD drive.

Good catch Toddler! If you read the change log you'll know that while the ini still follows the same format, it's no longer (from 2.08 to 2.09) using the C++ code from simpleini to do the parsing... which means the ini parser in the dll is entirely new, and easily explains this problem. Turns out the bug is actually not related to the [] but instead in not having a newline/carriage return at the end of that comment line (and even then, depending on the size of the ini it was only a tiny chance of hitting the bug.) Reported as fixed for next version.

Ah yes, that makes sense now.  When I removed the last two lines, I left the blank line above them in place.  I shouldn't have assumed it was the brackets--if it had been my own project, I would have kept testing further and nailed it down--sorry about that.  Thanks for taking it seriously and figuring it out.
