Dash Launch v0.01
Posted by XanTium | March 1 13:41 EST | News Category: Xbox360
 
Team XeDev released this first version of Dash Launch, which will allow you to boot your Xbox360 directly into homebrew software:
Quote

what it does:
waits for bootanim to finish, then launches a con (you don't see NXE dash)
currently launch.xex is built to launch xexmenu con at
Hdd:\\Content\\0000000000000000\\C0DE9999\\00080000\\C0DE99990F586558

install:
-put launch.xex in the root of your hard drive's content partition
-add the included patches to freeboot/xbr patchset (there is a bonus in there for those who don't have it)

xex source is included, in it's current form it does the minimal amount of work to launch the con if it's not present it should fail to dash with "could not load" error message

Official Site: http://xedev.xbins.org/
Download: n/a (built with XDK)

I have XBR_JasperBB_8955_3.bin on my 360.
Title: Dash Launch v0.01
Post by: belenos on March 01, 2010, 12:55:00 PM
download pre-made pack. PM me for it.

then just rename the appropriate patch to updpatch.bin and place at root of hdd or usb.
also place appropriate Launch.xex at root of HDD


launch Flash360
Press B (write update areas of Rebooter)
Press B (Write updpatch.bin)
once completed press back button twice and xbox will shut off. turn back on and your loader will boot instead of Dashboard.

use build_patch.bat + patches.S to create patches.bin
(the patches.S provided in "dash launch 0.01 + xbr_RF patch" of course, NOT the dummy one)

nandpro XBR.bin: -R16 basepatch.bin 65 1


use hexedit to open basepatch.bin, look for
"FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF 7A 7A 7A 7A 7A 7A 7A 7A 7A 7A 7A 7A 7A 7A 7A 7A"
and delete it.
open patches.bin copy all content and insert to the end of basepatch.bin
save as updpatch.bin

nandpro usb/lpt: +W16 updpatch.bin 65 1

powercyle / boot.

Or just ask me for the prepatched files and use flash 360 much easier.

used flash360 to flash the updated xbreboot patch (extra=regionfree)
then placed launch.xex on my hdd and 360 stalls after the bootanim.
This is on a jasper with 512mb nand, so i used updpatch_bignand.bin file.

Xexmenu is installed as a con in the proper folder on the hdd and it launches perfect from nxe dash.

Belenos your package works perfectly (this sounds weird when spoken outloud but anyway) thanks. This should also be put onto the front page so people with freestyle dash can see it.

I assume you will be able to exit back to the NXE dash, correct.

Would be nice to be able to easily choose what dash to launch during startup.

Post by: Craigsblackie on March 01, 2010, 02:11:00 PM
This is a great development but I don't really have a need to boot into any other dash than the standard nxe at the moment.
I do however like the idea of the region free patch. Anyone know how to just implement the RF feature?
Title: Dash Launch v0.01
Post by: soulwarrior on March 01, 2010, 02:14:00 PM
To all those who boot directly into freestyle dash but have been using the auto boot + disk method before, you you should still keep the freestyle disk in the drive because you will still want to be able to go directly back to freestyle dash board by using the guide button and then play game on disk (otherwise you'll have to go back to nxe and then relaunch freestyle).

I allways appreciate any new jtag software but i am soooo scared to use this...reason  being i have seen waay too many 360's fail after that initial boot out of nowhere and i would hate to ruin my jtag...oddly my one friend whose xbox 1 i modded allways makes fun of me cause i dont use xselect on mine just standard unleash x...so I have a history of timidness I suppose.  The region free stuff is very cool though...if that would save me a step instead of patching an out of region game with gamehacker every time now that is great....also i heard battlefield 2 gives people playing out of region probs with gamehacker...hopefully tis not a new trend of security...

There may have been a reason he sent it via PM rather than posting it for everyone to see, I think it may be because this thread is a tool Team XeDev wrote to boot into their menu and we are all wanting to use it to boot to a different one, kind of a kick in the teeth.

Just my thought really

You should just be able to start a new 360 project in vs 2005 then copy the code provided in the source in to it and compile it.

I'll release a more flexible launch.xex later this afternoon (QuickBoot type configurable).

Thanks  Team XeDev  for the original release
and Belenos for the modified Launch.xex awesome job.

No offense to Team XeDev but Freestyle Dash is nicer then Xexmenu.
With preview videos, nice custom skins like Gryz, Aquatica, and Blue steel.
And the FSDindexer. Freestyle seems to be on Top.

But im sure the next Xexmenu may have some great updates.

What it does:
   Waits for bootanim to finish, then launches either XexMenu or Freestyle Dash and makes Console Region free


install:


1.) Rename appropriate XBRpatch  to updpatch.bin:
       For 16 Mb nand rename updpatch_16MB.bin

       For Big Blocks (256 and 512 Jasper) rename updpatch_Big_Block.bin
 
       For region Free Patch Only (only tested on16MB) rename updpatch_RF_only 16mb.


2.) Place Updpatch.bin at root of USB or Xbox HDD

3.) Place the appropriate Launch.XEX at root of Xbox HDD (not needed for region free only)
       XEXmenu Lauch expects Hdd:\\Content\\0000000000000000\\C0DE9999\\00080000\\C0DE99990F586558
 
       Freestyle Launch expects HDD:\\Freestyle\FreestyleDash.xex
 
       USB Launch expects UsbX:\\Content\\0000000000000000\\C0DE9999\\00080000\\C0DE99990F586558
            or UsbX:\\Freestyle\\FreestyleDash.xex it will launch first found.
            try usb port 0 first, because its first to be recognized by the system on startup.
            (usb0 = the one on the back)

     

4.) Launch Flash360 (thanks Redline99)
       Press B (write update areas of Rebooter)
       Press B (Write updpatch.bin)
       Once completed press back button twice and xbox will shut off. turn back on and your loader           will boot instead of Dashboard.

Orignally brought to you by XeDev
[cOz]

xex source is included, in it's current form it does the minimal amount of work to launch the con
   if it's not present it should fail to dash with "could not load" error message


Still unsure of if I can just post a link. let me know if you want through PM for now. Or if someone else doesn't care about MODS anger you can post the link.

Posting to MU, RS, MS

i have made a simple batch file (based on an xbh thread ive been reading) that auto-patches (using xextool) the 1888 dash to be run from the HDD (or usb)

i have not tried this on disk

I think a lot of people would be interested in booting into the blades dash (while keeping the 8955 pull-up screen via the 360 button) using dash launch.

Belenos, PM me if you are interested in patching the patch (lol) to do this....

I'd like the link too, also where are the tools for making your own patch to use with flash360 and are there linux equivalents?

Do a google for crosstools (crosstool-0.43), when you find that grab the pack, unzip and run the shell script for ppc 970 - the assembler and objdump are all your really need but the binaries are valid enough for patches and the like (as well as libxenon/xell/etc.) The makefile from freeboot 0.02 should be usable, you'll have to monkey with the base names for unknown- in it and such though as crosstool doesn't build xenon- bases by default. Haven't looked into it personally but it's probably possible to assemble patches with MAC-PPC or CELL/PS3 -as binaries as well.

New pack contains same USB launcher as previous. could you explain any problems you are having:

What does it do?
what board?
have you check the paths/files names?
any addition info you think would be relevant.

i have made a simple batch file (based on an xbh thread ive been reading) that auto-patches (using xextool) the 1888 dash to be run from the HDD (or usb)

i have not tried this on disk

I think a lot of people would be interested in booting into the blades dash (while keeping the 8955 pull-up screen via the 360 button) using dash launch.

Belenos, PM me if you are interested in patching the patch (lol) to do this....



"Dirty" Workaround would be to use the freestyle launcher and just rename the 1888 dash to freestyledash.xex and place in hdd:\\freestyle\

i really want to start using freestyle dash now it can be booted before the nxe dash, but i have a question and i hope someone could help. can freestyle dash list the 360 games that are on the 360 hdd (not external) as i have tried a few times but cannot get the dash to list anything. would i need to edit the config.xml file. if so i have no chance of doing that as i'm rubbish at that sort of thing. sorry if this was a bit off topic but i was not sure where to post this question.times are geting very exciting for the 360 now that we can start to boot up csutom dashboards..........................sudeki300

are they GOD packages or extracted Iso's?

 if extracted Iso's they just need to be in Partition 3/Games and they will be detected.

If GOD package there is a modified Freestyle that will detect GOD packages only problem is it last I saw it places them in the Arcade tab regardless of if they are arcades or full version may be fixed by now tho.

Post by: metalguitarist112 on March 01, 2010, 05:54:00 PM
Yes it will list games, but not GOD games, unless you download matties modified XEX.

To launch games from freestyle insert game on hdd:\GAMES\(Game).

Root of partition 3.

here ill write a mini tut, using halo 3 as an example.

Step one, obtain god2iso, and extrac the god to an iso file.

Step two, obtain xbox image browser, and extract the iso contents into a folder. (example, I have a halo 3 iso and I extract the data with xbox image browser into a folder called Halo 3).

Step three, make a folder on your hard drive or usb drive called GAMES (if using Freestyle dashboard).

Step four, place "Halo 3" folder in there.

no you can install to hdd freestyle scans each storage device for games. altho keep in mind this is just a launcher you need to get freestyle from its thread and have it up and working before installing this.

Choochoo. are you using xexmenu or freestyle for ftp?
if freestyle have you set it up for the proper ip?
also try filezilla thats what I use.

And I looked all around for this "build_patch" batch file and can't find anything of the such. Is it from the source code of XBR or something? Anyway, I don't want just region free, I would like it to autoboot into Xexmenu. I say that because I see some of you trying to patch just for that alone and I'm not sure if there's more than one patch now, or what. Thanks.

When the files are in the correct locations, I'm faced with a black screen and no errors after the bootanim.

Use the freestyle launcher but get the xexmenu XEX version and place it to hdd:\freestyle\ and rename the xexmenu xex to freestyledash.xex and see if xexmenu boots. this will show the xexmenu launcher as the problem.

yes and I find the kinda funny considering this was originally designed to work for xexmenu. a work around if you really want to use xexmenu is to create hdd1:\\freestyle\ and insert the xex version of xexmenu and rename it to freestyledash.xex it will boot xexmenu then. It has been confirmed the xexmenu launch has something wrong with it. you can do this until a new launcher is released.

with cygnos chip u can only flash the whole nand so u need to prepare it on computer with nandpro...

or does anyone have a link with a good description what the fuck spare means and when i have to use it or not ???

with a cygnos chip u have to flash the nand COMPLETLY and WITH CYGNOS TOOLBOX
not with nandpro

so u have to PREPARE the FULL IMG to flash with nandpro:
nandpro XBR.bin: +W16 updpatch.bin 65 1   (nothing like usb or / lpt )
^^
what i dont know is if the command is still "+W" if i dont flash the nand directly (through usb/lpt)
but just edit the nand image on computer with nandpro virtual nand handling, i would guess its the same command but i dunno... the nandpro readme confuses me pretty much

in other words i have no idea what this whole SPARE shit means at all... and i dont find any good explanation with google

or are there any cygnos v2 users, that dont flash the nand with the cygnos toolbox but with the usual non cygnos jtag methods like flash360 or nandpro ? anyway it would be interesting if the nandpro cmd is the same or not

@shabang22: right you have freestyle actually on the hdd and the fsdata installed to usb correct? that does work fine the problem was when all freestyle data was on the usb drive. the usb drive was not yet initialized when launch.xex called for it. This issue should be fixed in the next release hopefully.

@Jbonze: can't use that exact xex because of certain code needed, like the pause to enable xexmenu to work, but something similar is in the works.

just boot without the hdd and use xexmenu iso to load flash360 and then just flash the region free only patch. then boot with hdd attached and delete launch.xex

Ive been doing some updates to my Blog. Also has any one else taken a look at the source for this? I don't have the library but I was wondering if it would be possible to boot to different dashboards as I am holding a controller button when launch.xex is being booted. for example "Hold X to boot Debug Dash" or "Hold Y to boot XEXMenu CON" "Default is Freestyle Dash" ect.

XBR Patch Pack V5

Package Created By Belenos originally created by XeDev
[cOz]
Thanks to PorchMonkey and any involved with XexMenu, Freestyle Dash, Dash Launch

What it does:
   Waits for boot animation to finish, then launches a xex or con as defined in ini file and makes

Console Region Free*

   * note: Region Free will only work on xex files so xbox 1 game are unaffected as they are

xbe files you will also notice you cant install "out of region" games via the NXE but you can use

iso2god on them and they will work that way.


Install:


1.) Rename appropriate XBRpatch  to updpatch.bin:
       For 16 Mb nand rename updpatch_16MB.bin

       For Big Blocks (256 and 512 Jasper) rename updpatch_Big_Block.bin
 
       For region Free Patch Only 16mb nands rename updpatch_RF_only 16mb.bin

       For region Free Patch Only Big Block nands rename updpatch_RF_only Big Block.bin


2.) Place Updpatch.bin at root of USB

3.) Place the appropriate Launch.xex at root of Xbox HDD Launch.ini can be placed in usb root or hdd root.

         You can Use 2 different Launch.ini if placing one on Usb root and one at HDD root
      Usb Ini will be loaded first if not present Hdd Ini will load. If neither NXE dash  

                will load as a fallback


       XEXmenu Launch expects Hdd:\\Content\0000000000000000\C0DE9999\00080000\C0DE99990F586558
 
       Freestyle Launch expects HDD:\\Freestyle\FreestyleDash.xex
 
       USB launch version of Both Xexmenu and Freestyle Included
      Xexmenu expects Usb:\\Xexmenu\Defualt.xex
      Freestyle expects USB:\\Freestyle\FreestyleDash.xex

       Custom launch version has no path. User must alter custom launch path.ini and insert path.  

               Then rename to Launch.ini and place at root of HDD or USb

If launching Con or XEX from HDD use launch.ini at root of HDD
If launching Con or XEX From USB use launch.ini at root of USB
DO not cross-reference Launch.ini and Con/XEX
        (I.E. DO not use usb launch.ini to call file on HDD or vice versus)
     

4.) Launch Flash360 (thanks Redline99)
       Press B (write update areas of Rebooter)
       Press B (Write updpatch.bin)
       Once completed press back button twice and xbox will shut off. turn back on and your loader  

         will boot instead of Dashboard.

Info from original Read me:

caveats:
this is presented as-is, any risk is solely the end users responsibility. While all of us are sorry
when unforseen things happen, not every situation or mistake can be accounted for before they have

been spotted.

usb testing was done using a usb flash drive, it's unknown at this point if the delay added to fix

xbr con loading
will be enough to allow hdd's to spin up.

thanks:
Big thanks to all the users who are helping eachother figure out ways to use these new patches and

sorting through
any issues that arise. Be aware, as many problems as you can find we can try to address - above

all, enjoy!

Big thanks to those who opened the way and those who made it even more usable. Huge thanks to the

Here is the read me for XBR Patch Pack V5
Waiting for Dash launch Creators approval before releasing the Pack
Let me know if you have questions or if there is confusions with the instructions so I can address the issues before the pack is released.


So is this just adding the USB booting or are we going to have the ability to boot to multiple dashes depending on what button we hold on boot ?

Mainly i would like to go to Freestyle dash on boot but would like the option to boot to nxe from the off to change settings, memory card management etc by maybe holding "Y" during boot anim.

looking at it though seems to be just usb....... oh well wink.gif

Post by: belenos on March 02, 2010, 03:23:00 PM
well you can set 2 different launch.ini or Say you have freestyle installed to the USB and when USB is plugged in it will boot to that and if not it would still boot to NXE. There is some customization options but no "hold button to boot ..." option.

Post by: flyingpoo86 on March 02, 2010, 04:09:00 PM
BTW if anyone here has Xellous installed you can drop updpatch.bin onto a thumbdrive and flash it with xellous on ALT (Xell) boot.  Also, don't forget you can backup your Flash from Xellous too via its built in HTTP server. So if you screw up and can still access xellous you can reflash your backed up dump by renaming it to updflash.bin.

Happy Modding.

Can you PM me a link for the freestyle dash one?

 There seems to be SO many new pathces lately I would have thought some1 would have incorporated/pre-pacthed into the XBR images on Xbins as  xbr_3c or xbr4 or something.

@omega232 Can you please post ur updated stuff( a .rar on megaupload or similar) I really need a straight-forward way of doing this/ The Auto-patch .bat package from xbins isn't clear on where/how one would incorporate the launcher patch (alltho there's mention of it in the Patches.S) I've tried using the batch patch (that doesn't require cygwin) It wasn't clear where/what directory it wanted nandpro to be in. After it created a directory with two files in it, I used XBR.bin  and it still wont run the launcher.xex  This is all driving me nuts as I have a falcon with a cygnos V2 running XBR 3a and it wants a pre-patched image. If one can use flash360 why didn't they just give us all an 'update.bin' file?
I don't have time to get in-depth on this one (very busy sorry if I've overlooked something posted elsewhere etc..) so any help here would be hugely appreciated...

 Sorry for my rant off-topic above but I was annoyed I couldn't even edit my last post. Speaking of which, I've remembered that ppl can't post links to XDK compiled code (fair enough) . The patch(es) really should be at least in updflash.bin format .A directory for each or in the XBR_falcon_3a.rar would be nice (not to be ungratefull but if It's not like me to have trouble with stuff like this )

OK, I have it working now (The delay is a bit annoying, but it' seems a nescessity - bummer) A simple mistake was made as I'm not the only person who uses that PC for flashing stuff (long story won't bore u all)

But, Something that threw me off is that in the readme (and other places) it infers that the launch.xex and the .ini go on in the root of the content directory not the root of the partition, so it was lucky that I was looking at the patches.s looking for a non existent  error and seen the actuall path or it would have confounded me for a lot longer.....
It would be cool if we could put other stuff in the .ini file ,like bootanim to xexmenu delay for example.

Good work ppl, I'm sure this will open-up lots of possibilities with scripts to automatically check usb for updates to XBR or Xexmenu, XM360 etc.. etc... That would truly be awesome AND make my life a lot easier...

nandpro usb/lpt: +W16 updpatch.bin 65 1

powercyle / boot.

auto lauch doesn't work unless there is an launch.xex in the root if it's not there you can't tell the difference so it doesn't matter what one you use.

the readme specifically states "root of the content partition", you look for the partition with "content" on it and put it in the root... what I find confusing is that it is considered an update partition, a system partition, and partition1 by the system softs, but many others seem to think it is partition3 because of the xplorer PC apps... "root of content partition" on the other hand seems much clearer  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

By any chance have you updated xell to xellous? If you have, it has the same patch features as flash360 so you can just put the correct updpatch.bin onto the root of a usb stick and boot into xellous to patch.

You don't need to solder anything. Download xellous from xbins, rename xell-2f.bin to updxell.bin, copy updxell.bin to a usb stick, boot into xell with the usb stick attached and let it update. Once updated deleted updxell.bin from the usb and copy the new updpatch.bin to the usb stick. Boot into xellous (eject button) with the usb stick attached and let it update.

As taken from the xellous guide:USB Notes:
For best results of getting the usb device detected. Remove the power plug from the console
after running the MS dashboard. Then reinsert the power plug, insert usb device and then
boot into XeLLous.

Are you making sure to start your system with the eject button (and letting the tray open all the way) and were you using XBR3 or XBR1?

If you can still boot XELL, you don't need to install Xellous to recover XBR. If you still have the original XBR, you can download the Gentoo Live CD, boot it up, and follow this tutorial to flash XBR with lflash.c: http://ep-comps.com/...lflash_16mb.rtf

This is a shot in the dark but, your dvd drive is connected correct?

no XELL just black screen and green light


To quote Looouky from the xellous thread:

black screen with green usually means your jtag wires are incorrect connected. I told you this already, check your soldering. I have done 4 big blocks jasper using my tut, 2 256 and 2 512.

To quote Looouky from the xellous thread:

Thats an idea but the only thing is is that it was booting before the update after the update it wouldnt reboot

Possible bug report for Dash Launch. If you currently have a system without the Avatar system update, and your console is set to auto boot any games in the drive (any game with the avatar update included, naturally), when booting the console it will hang when the update window begins to appear. The update window never fully renders correctly because presumably this is the point where DashLaunch tries to load the launch.xex - basically you're left with the outline of the box.

The obvious workaround for this is to disable auto boot, or boot the console without a disc in the drive, but I figured it may be worth reporting in case you're able to add code to ignore the launch.xex if a system update is attempted.
