IIRC, Double Dash was only removed in the same way downgrading the dashboard was - in that it checks that you aren't replacing c:\xodash\xonlinedash.xbe with an old dashboard.
Nope, 5960 checks more than that ... it requires the original file eh.
(P.S. I believe your patch is still on the board but I can't be bothered to search your posts for you. :P )
Well, I've found the post in question. The only question remaining now is... does it work on 5960? If not, what exact checks does 5960 do to c:\xodash\xonlinedash.xbe?

It can work with 5960 but not via the Live tab, because when the dash initiates it checks a characteristic of that .xbe (its size?) and 21's if it's not the right one eh.
For recent kernels... EEE works with 5960, it and DD work with 5659 and I suspect that using the HDD .xbe as a bootstrap is another possibility (which would take the original dash out of the picture) eh. :ph34r:
However, in addition to the associated challenges and risks, bear in mind that legal distro's require other files from the game to be obtained separately too (legitimately meaning the original, which would be better to use for the exploit in the first place...) eh. :huh:

yeah the mentioned exploit only works with 5659 dashes so higher ones would need to downgrade. I admit it is a hard way of doin things but still it IS a possibility for people that only want to hotswap. Anyway like Eh said they still would need the game to get the needed files since it's not legal to distribute them.
fyi - see here (and its surrounding posts).
