I'm unsure if 1970 is the 'unset' value. According to the SetSystemTime  documentation the base is January 1, 1601 (UTC). Also check the following post by rmenhal that mentions setting the clock to zero!

found out the hard way anything less then 2000 will
set a strange year 8709 and anything more then 2100 will
do the same but nothing will kick it to the clock menu.

it look like the RTC is in MCPX the 32.768 xtal goes stright to it.
and if it's like other RTC there is a status reg that indcates
that there was power down and the clock needs to be set
but when the system call (set time) is made by the fonts it must clear it
so the ms dash never sees it

i do have working code that tests the time and if it was set by the
fonts it will run a .xbe and then you can IGR to dashboard_path

i have zero documentation it's learn as you go...
so what value is January 1, 1601 (UTC)

[triggernum5]

Perhaps do what unleashx does to set the clock..  We'd need a separate xbe to mimick the ms clock settings..

Question:  Can you program the time without invoking msdash, with i2c maybe?  Duh, there must be a way since fonts have been doing it for years..

The LD_LAUNCH_DASHBOARD structure is used in the XLaunchNewImage function to specify the reason that the Xbox Dashboard is being launched by the title.
dwReason = XLD_LAUNCH_DASHBOARD_SETTINGS,
dwParameter1 = XLD_SETTINGS_CLOCK Adjust the clock.

part of the 007 hack

6800000000 push 00000000 ; param 2 = NULL

FF95F7000000 call dword ptr [ebp+000000F7] ; call XLaunchNewImage

We need someone with the XDK that can tell us the values of XLD_LAUNCH_DASHBOARD_SETTINGS and XLD_SETTINGS_CLOCK are, but also the structure of LD_LAUNCH_DASHBOARD.

Ok, I just scoured the rules and I see absolutely no grounds to say that it is against the rules to ask somebody with the xdk to help provide information about a structure.

[xman954]

QUOTE(PedrosPad @ Sep 13 2005, 11:11 AM)

My natural urge was to simply cut & paste the information from the XDK's

how about just posting a small .ASM block of code to do this,,,,
from your vast memory of code that you have already done, of course

QUOTE(dus @ Sep 22 2005, 04:17 PM)

Ok, so no XDK... why should that stop us? Let's scratch that itch.

QUOTE(dus @ Sep 22 2005, 10:17 AM)

To implement, just copy the LDP setup from the fonts (ernie.asm) and do the following:
(Assuming ebx is loaded with the pointer to LDP in memory and the path to xboxdash.xbe is copied into [ebx+8h])
write 1 into dword [ebx+0h]
write 3 into dword [ebx+400h]
write 1 into dword [ebx+408h]

NICE
will give it a shot  

[xman954]

OK nice find Dus this is what i got and it's works

CODE

       cld
        mov     edi, ebx
        xor     eax, eax
        mov     ecx, dword 0x00000400+0x010; extra bytes to zero of LDP !!!!
        rep     stosd

        lea     edi, [ebx+8]
        lea     esi, [clk_ph]
        push    byte CLKSZ
   pop     ecx
        rep     movsb     ; move dash path into DP

   mov     [ebx+000h], dword 0x01   ; use parmeters
   mov     [ebx+400h], dword 0x03   ; parameter for settings in dashboard
   mov     [ebx+408h], dword 0x01   ; CLOCK within settings

        push    byte 0x02  ; quick reboot
        call    dword [HalReturnToFirmware]
   jmp   short $
;-----------------------------------------
   align   4
clk_ph: db      '\Device\Harddisk0\Partition2\xboxdash.xbe',0,0
CLKSZ:  equ     $-clk_ph

right now the last thing NKPatcher does is:
test the time and if it's before 9/20/05 it goes stright to the clock settings(in shadowC if enabled) then you IGR to dashboard_path

[krayzie]

awesome work.

That is 400h double words (4 bytes). In total, 1000h bytes are cleared

was not sure but that clears it up thanks
(just wanted the space between 401h and 407h cleared)

will put something together later for anyone interested...
