Checking the asm (if VGA stuff is actually there) and auto compiling/signing options maybe? (i kinda hate commandline utils..)

@xman,
The default boot path is native to nkpatcher, as soon as you enable the tri-boot settings, the default boot path is no longer valid, as it will be replaced with 2 boot paths, and then and option to select MA, 007, or SC gamesaves as the tri, and maybe a custom as well.

Keep the feedback comming in,

yes it is still valid for boot with power switch
the only difference from dual to tri is that the tray will close
and if a habibi disk is inserted before it closes it will boot that disk and not
the alt dash (mostly used for recovery and testing new stuff)

edit this might be misleading

it sould say

(X) open retail >>> (uses green led ,PATCH_BACK_MS_KEY and C:\msxboxdash.xbe in PB_OPEN_PATH, as forced settings)

CODE

%define DASHBOARD_PATH  DEFAULT_PATH,';', DEFAULT_NAME

this is the path if you additions are non-active.

when you additions become active, this path is still used, but moved into your additions frame of options.

And just so I'm clear
(these are defaults)
DEFAULT_PATH - boot from power (LED-ORANGE)
OPEN_PATH - Boot from eject (LED - RED)

PB_OPEN_PATH - boot with eject (no disc present) (LED - GREEN)

I feel i am mis-understanding the "when the KEY is patched back and when it is not" (it is patched back on open and no disc?)

am i understanding the terms correctly?

Ok you might mis-interpreting.
default boot path is

CODE

%define DASHBOARD_PATH  DEFAULT_PATH,';', DEFAULT_NAME

that line should be in the .inc at all times
it was done so that you would not have to do two different types
of path define's in your code, the orignal and the split " path ; *.xbe "

note: in any setup (dual/tri) NKpatcher will boot when tray is closed and use it's led defaults

OK now the open-retail is for NDURE related tray booting and it think it should be
forced (in you code, so user does not have any option to change it, so they can't get banned from XBL )
%define PATCH_BACK_MS_KEY and PB_OPEN_PATH that is set to C:\msxboxdash.xbe
also PATCHBACK_LED_COLOR should be set to green
(PB_OPEN_PATH is short for patched back tray open path)
it was done this way in case a new MS signed xbe was found then the path could be changed very easy

OK now tri boot should not use the PATCH_BACK_MS_KEY it could
but most people would want to put there orignal game in to play XBL
and if you did that it would ERROR 21 becouse it is MS signed and not habibi signed
but if no disk was inserted it would do the same as open-retail (with the ability to boot a habibi disk) but you would have to open the tray put your game in and close tray to play on XBL

remember this has to be user friendly and not give them every option that could be set or you will never here the end of it LOL

put the default LED colors to what you think they should be

Just so you know, I havent forgotten about this project, was really busy at work this week, and didnt have much time to dedicate, but it is around 80% complete now, and hope to release a working version sometime tommorow night hopefully.

Will support all of the newest VGA code and your newest renditions also xman,

just had a few questions on the Fan speed codes, as i am guessing alot of people dont know them, can you possibly make a list of them
or maybe just the common 10 20 30 40 & 50, so that I may create a nice GUI conversion for them. thanks.

[xman954]

very simple to do

hex value = % of desired speed from 20-100 /2

so for 40%   40/2 = 20 dec = 0014h (hex)
50% = 25 dec = 0019h
70% = 35 = 0023h
90% = 45 = 002Dh

so it would change every 2% (rounding)
