This is what many have tried and none succeeded...
****
================================================================================
What is this?
================================================================================
This patch will remove the 30ms check on the key exchange from xbox to xbox
over system link. This was known as the "30ms ping limit". It seems that only
the client needs the patch.
1) Make sure you have Dashlaunch v1.0 installed.
2) Place Kxam.patch in the root of usb or hdd.
Hopefully this will encourage people to stay off of xbox live with hacked xboxs
as there is no real reason for it.
================================================================================
Usage
================================================================================
- FreeBoot 0.032 with DashLaunch 1.0 (kernel 9199)
- An internal harddrive and/or usb stick (check DashLaunch 1.0 readme)
- The file from this release on the root of it (kxam.patch)
- Power up Xlink Kai
- And see you online!
================================================================================
Known Bugs?
================================================================================
None really, its possible some games have internal Pinglimits..
They'll need to be removed by doing MemoryPatches (gametrainer per example).
================================================================================
ChangeLog
================================================================================
V0.01
-first release
================================================================================
Disclaimer
================================================================================
We, the creators, have nothing to do with freeboot, or the making of
DashLaunch, but we don't want to make a support channel so use theirs.

true there may be only a few games that support systemlink.... but the ones that do are the only ones that are worth playing on live anyway..... can anyone say Modern Warefare 2? not to mention EVERY CoD game.... Red Dead Redemption? HALO 3 ODST? Forza 2? Gears 2? the list literarlly goes on....

Is this just for connecting 2 jtags together over system link or can you indeed Sys link a live xbox to my Jtag over Xlink?
That's what I'd like to know. I'm assuming the server could be a non jtag user, and the client needs this patch, so you could theoretically have non jtag systems in the mix, but they could only host the game.
I'm hoping that only the client truly needs it and that non-jtag systems can host while jtag'd systems join. If so, that'd make this MUCH more useful for me.

While this is true and there are a lot of people that will screw around, I think the majority of those with jtagged consoles simply want an alternative to xbox live to just play normal games.
But this does remind me of the Halo 1 PC days where there were servers with mods on and servers without. It made the online aspect more interesting
This is great news... I could hardly believe it when i saw it on the front page

Wait, how are people connecting to xbox live with a jtagged xbox? I thought if you went online with a jtagged xbox it would be banned in minutes? is that not the case or have people found a way to connect for short period of times? or do they play online, get banned then reflash their nand with a new key taken from dead RROD xbox?

It's really quite easy.
Download Bestpig's Freeboot Toolbox v2.4
Get the original copy of your nand (eg fullnand.bin)
Run Freeboot Toolbox, enter your CPU key (you can get this from Xell or Xellous, boot your Xbox by the eject button)
Set the filename destination to : updflash.bin
Click Generate FreeBOOT
Select the fullnand.bin when required to, wait for Freeboot Toolbox finishes with no errors
Place updfalsh.bin on the root of a usb keydrive
Place into front USB port of Xbox power on with the eject button
Xellous or Xell should see the update write to the nand (sometimes the Xbox will refuse to see a certain USB key and then find it later so keep trying if it doesnt work first time)
Wait for that to finish, turn off Xbox for 30 seconds and then boot.
You now have FreeBOOT .032 with 9199 dash. To get the best you can download dashlaunch 1.0 from xbins to complete the setup.
If you want to patch the SMC for the JTAG (which I would recommed), choose to create a custom FreeBOOT image and then patch the smcdata with Blackaddr's SMC IO patcher when the explorer window opens.

Just tried to update via this method, but I got stuck with an unusual problem. I can't boot into Xell, I can boot to the dashboard just fine, but not Xell. What's going on? I tried booting by the eject button and controller in the rear usb port. The eject button does nothing and the controller in the rear usb port brings up a black screen...I didn't do this hack myself, and don't have the knowledge or tools to do this hack myself with a computer, that's why im trying to follow this method...really hoping the person who did it didn't mess up. They're from these forums :/

Updated my box finally to Freeboot 0.032, but not quite sure how to install Dashlaunch and the Sys Link Ping patch :/ I have a basic understanding, but not entirely...
should have done it before upgrading to freeboot because it has to be dont before being flashed to the xbox.. but its quit easy.. ive never used one of the tools i just always use ibuild.. so if your using ibuild just do this..
1. replace the patches_******.bin (ie patches_falcon.bin) files in the bin directory of freeboot with the ones from the dashlaunch archive..
2. then rebuild and flash freeboot to nand..
3. then modify the launch.ini to you liking.. (you dont have to put anything in it about the patch)
4. i use FSD so i just FTP'd in and put the launch.xex and launch.ini into flash that way.. but you can use the flash_installer supplied with dashlaunch (never tried it).. i think you just need to copy your launch.ini into that folder.. that folder on your xbox then run the default.xex
5. place the kxam.patch file in the root of HDD1
6. Reboot! ALL DONE!

I am not understanding what this does exactly????
This removes a 30ms ping requirement,
on xbox kai your ping rates may vary, so you could not play anyone with a higher ping rate than 30ms.
So if you wanted to play with a bunch of people that ping at 31ms you can't.
This patch removes that requirement on jtag boxes (that can not play on xbox live without getting banned) so people can now go on xbox kai and play people and host games, even if the ping is higher than 30, and basically still enjoy network gaming with their jtagged boxes.

In short, Kai offers an alternative to Xbox Live. It does this by using the system link feature in Xbox and Xbox 360 games. Microsoft intended system link games to allow people to bring together their xbox systems (and televisions) into a single room and play against each other...without the need for Xbox Live.
Kai tricks these systems into thinking they are all in the same room...even if they are physically very far away. You do this by installing a small server software package on your pc, and connecting your xbox system to this server.
For the original Xbox, this offered an excellent alternative to Xbox Live. Microsoft realized this when making the Xbox 360 and put in a ping time check to see if the systems were indeed in the same room.
This effectively killed Kai for Xbox 360 users. This patch removes the ping check....hello, Kai!

The patch works exactly as described. If you are running 9199+DashLaunch1.0, just put kxam.patch in your hdd root.
Also, if gaming via Xlink Kai, make sure to forward port 30000 to your PC running Kai (not your 360)
Looking forward to gaming with you guys in the near future!

UnfortunAtely Forza 3 has no system-link, so we are out of luck.
I never played with KAI, so can I setup a system where I host a particular game, and all my mates can play without leaving their homes? Is that basically how it works?
If I am hosting, can I play as well? What sort of internet speed is required to host successfully?
I'd be happy to host some 24/7 games for the Aussies.
Yep, you host a game in an room on kai, your friends join your game in that room. Its just like systemlink on a local network, except your all at your own houses. (Or multiple people in a few houses, etc)
The upload speed of your connection determines the number of players that can play in your game, 512kbps upload speed should be fine.

im wondering how we can play cod ? the jtagger people will do wallhack etc. etc. we cannot play the games with the honor
Not true: JTAG'ers have honor too!! (At least most of us) If a non-modded lobby is specified then that's what you get, Otherwise everyone has the same mods which makes for a way more fun game (I've been at it all night it's awesome!!)
After all it's all about having fun not competing!!
To clarify: For those who don't know:
You put the patch in the root directory of your HDD , Let dashlaunch detect,
Download Xlink-Kai Sign-up/on/in,
Navigate to the console/game/area you wish to play (I've been playing with ppl on th other side of the globe - sometimes the ping is too long and you get time-out)
Then search for host or start hosting.
Helps to make use of the chat
If you get into a MW2 lobby that says 'you need verification' and it doesn't happen promptly then get the hell-out before you stats etc.. get stuffed-up (not that it matters too much)
Best to make a new GT to match your Kai/Xlink ID
Enjoy,

Yeah I think they're going to have to ease-up on that policy now that this patch is out,
Modded games are more fun , If you want to play on an even footing: go play xbla (that's why it cost sooo much) And ur garunteed no cheats (almost -except those who waste their KV's - and those numbers are dwindling) It's not like systemlink games are having their stats recorded. Also sometimes mods may be used to compensate for lag , skill etc.. (see my previous post)
I would suggest if you want a normal game on Xlink that you specify 'No mods' and host it urself (ppl are doing this already) It would be fair nor enforcable (as kai wouldn't have the tools to montior/prove/justify banning - they would just join under new accnt 5mins later anyway) It says words to the effect of 'If you get banned you'll know what it's for' that says it all.
I'm guessing : If you consistently ruin other's games they will prolly MAC ban you or something

thank you for the good information.i want to ask you something is it compatible with xbr3(8955) ? or i need to do freeboot?
You will need freeboot to run the dashlaunch patch, There may be a workaround (but why bother - it's easy to update to 9199 normally)

how did you upgrade to freeboot the first time? if using ibuild everything you need should already be there... just replace those patches files and rebuild just like you did the first time.. but yes you can just obtain it from previous builds or the one current on your nand.
I guess incorrectly :/ The first time I upgraded to Freeboot I used Freeboot Toolbox, entered my CPU Key, selected Xenon as the mobo, and updflash.bin as the file type. Then clicked generate Freeboot, selected my 7371.bin and got my freeboot dash. Did I do something wrong? Now I get an error saying something about my current nand being zeropaired in Flash360 :/

Enforcement has always been an issue, but if you're pissing off other users you will eventually be banned. (And good luck just making a new account)
As long as everyone gets along and plays by the rules systemlink over kai will be great with this patch
I'm hoping to pick up an exploitable system soon myself
Post by: jrx09 on February 04, 2020, 01:14:00 PM
As long as the host has marked whether the game is modded or not I don't see the problem, I'm sure as Xlink grows in popularity there will be an equal demand for legit hosts aswell (and maybe even games other than MW2 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) ).

ive been suffering with this all day, ive used best pig to create freeboot from original nand dump, i selected the custom mode and usde the patch for my falcon from the dashlaunch installer folder, bestpig says freeboot image was created successfully. Ive flashed to nand using flash360. I installed the patch to the root of the xbox hdd and then ran dashlaunch installer default.xex, flashed launch.xex and launch.ini to the nand. Now when i boot the xbox it goes straight to the nxe dash, ive tried pressing B button or X button on startup but it always goes to the nxe dash. ive tried mw2 on xlink with the latest updates but to no avail. Ive modified my launch.ini to try and get it to boot into fsd but its not working. any ideas?
my launch.ini is
[QuickLaunchButtons]
Default = LHdd1:\Freestyle\FreestyleDash.xex
BUT_X = LHdd1:\Content\0000000000000000\C0DE9999\00080000\C0DE99990F586558

Ignore the warning as it doesn't apply to 9199 freeboot image (KV is in differnt place)

PS: If you can't get dashlaunch to launch then you can't be sure the patch has applied - Get that going 1st then put ur patch on the hdd root etc..

the word needs to be spread far and wide. the more who know the more users there will be.
i have told a few people of the developement. i think 1 thing that maybe getting lost in this is you dont need a jtag to host. only to connect. so if we get a fe wof the 1 million banned users to set up games and then have the limited number of jtags connect to them we could get a pretty good community going.
hopefully developement of some homebrew tools that allow hosting and joining games without the need for the pc will come soon.
anyway great progress on this and thanks for letting me play red dead redemtion last night with a few friends :-)
Post by: Mushy2000 on June 30, 2010, 03:20:00 AM
but anyway, I was able to host a system link game, and people started joining immediately, pretty sweet I must say, my gold just ran out and they got me to renew for one month for one dollar, so I did it, when that's over, I'm just gonna host games on xlink kai.
Post by: mycelo on June 30, 2010, 05:46:00 AM
I hope I'm wrong. Now at least I can have some hope in hosting games through Kai with my genuine console (because my reckless one keeps blinking some strange red lights recently).

ODST Firefight

Red dead redemption
And basically anything else.
Shoot me a PM and we will set something up!
Post by: danthaman673 on June 30, 2010, 08:04:00 AM
ODST etc.. Sounds good , I'm sick of MW2... Would be a good excuse to get into some under-utilised games that have been skipped over (Some good titles in there)
Dashlaunch?? Noob questions??? READ THE WHOLE THREAD!!! (Like any thread it's a sure-fire way to ensure you don't come-off as too much of a noob ;-)
System link gone?? I wouldn't put it past them, but I think the number of JTAG consoles are not a threat that's worth addresssing for them anymore (It doesn't meet their formula application for patches etc.. ) So I don't see them spending the $$ on the focus-group to invent a good excuse for removing or 'no longer supporting' system link.... They'll prolly just put it on less and less games (now that I think about it they have already)
A Kai/Xlink plugin for dashlaunch would be cool but .. you prolly stil need the GUI/chat somewhere to guide ur own matchmaking.
Keep spreading the word!!!!!!!!!!!!

Imagine being able to switch arenas without even having to leave the game. Just hit the guide button and shazam, select your kai arena. Hell, even being able to reboot old school like we used to with XBMC.

Just delete your MW2 profile save (not campaign) info from your memory unit. That'll delete all information. If you want to just lower your rank and not change your stats/classes, easiest thing would be a modded lobby.

There has to be some bridge that allows us to use this system link option to break non jtaggable xboxes over the network. If you are able to run anything you want injected into a mw2 lobby then what's to stop people from running things over the network that could xploit other xboxes connected to the lobby.
MW2 exploits are because of lazy coding by IW, not an Xbox vulnerability. I'm not quite sure what you're proposing here, but if I'm understanding you, there's a snowball's chance in hell of it happening.

The system rebooted as it booted, I assume that was the patch installing?
Tried Kai for an hour, couldn't see any games at all. I have the TU6 installed as I can sys link with my retail live box no problem. Kai diagnostics say I am reachable.
Do you need to keep the patch in the root all the time or is it just a one shot patch?

I used the pig program, Freeboot Tool Maker 2.4 to compile my nand. Basically, do this.
Get your nand using xellous, open the pig tool, select your xbox type & deselect auto detect, enter your cpu key, use the NAND feature under dashlaunch updates, click create custom freeboot, navigate to the freeboot folder & BEFORE you click OKAY, make sure your patch from the dashlaunch zip is in the bin folder of freeboot. THEN click okay.

If you're not sure about having dashlaunch installed you may need to rebuild. Flash_installer will just put launch.xex on and if you edit your launch.ini to your own liking you can test if you have dashlaunch installed.
If you can't custom boot your choice of dash eg. xexmenu/freestyle then you don't. If that's the case then use flash360 to read your existing nand and then use that to rebuild.
Thanks. I just didn't want to test it because I thought something might go wrong and I wouldn't be able to boot at all or something along those lines. But I'll test it now to see if I have the right patch for my NAND.
Edit: Damn, it doesn't look like I have the right patch installed. Looks like I'll have to build another FreBOOT image.

I still find that connecting seems to be hit and miss though, even with the ping patch installed and definitely working. I think it is because I'm running Kai through the wireless connection on my laptop (e.g Router -> Wireless -> Laptop -> Ethernet -> Xbox) but unfortunately can't try an all wired set up due to the positioning of my router.
To anyone else that is running the patch and a wireless connection but is still having hit and miss problems connecting to games, I've found that closing Kai, repairing my internet connection (right click wireless symbol on task bar and click repair in XP) and then restarting Kai seems to help (you don't need to restart xbox), I've found that sometimes I can see more games and join successfully after doing this.
Good to see more people wanting to play legit games too, I had to delete my game save aswell after getting 10th without even realising i was in a modded lobby (being a n00b I didn't even know what 10th was either) so you have to watch out if you want to keep a legit profile.

UPDATE:Iv deleted my multiplayer game save so im back to rank 1 and my gamertag is now legit.So hopefully it should be sorted and i wont be joining any hacked lobbies from now on.Ill just be hosting.Try connecting to my lobby again and tell me in my servers chat room if everything is ok from now on.Ill ONLY be hosting legitimate lobbies.The amount of stupid modded lobbies iv seen are just noob little kids that think its ace to go around wrecking a good game for everyone else.In my room we can take turns hosting because i will admit i dont have the best connection.Join in guys and help me keep it going for the people who really wanna play for fun and not stupidity

Also, where are you Aussies? I can get online overseas but the lag makes it a bit hit & miss. Mostly miss.
Edit: Is there any thing that would stop me being able to host a game if I have no problems joining other arena's?

If anyone could help me I would very much appreciate it.. I recently upgraded to Windows 7 and cannot get Xlink Kai to run....I have seen a possible fix for it on another forum however it didn't help me..I get the error pddsk library could not be accessed or something along those lines may not be the exact wording but It won't even start the engine.
If the Xlink guys are around a quick answer would be great if not I'll hop on the xlink forum and see if i can track down an answer...Thanks in advance guys.
I still have my WinXp install on a different haddrive and I am going to be converting it to a VM but right now I am running and adjusting to Win 7 because i am thoroughly impressed with it, not like Vista at all much faster and more stable.
Xtag is jcplinux2010 add me I play MW2 and I was enjoying this new patch, I had a feeling Xlink would be an issue on Win 7.

Grandmaster56 has the right idea as well lol, but here is the website to download it from as Xlink doesn't provide it in the stock install.

Then, put XLink in Compatibility Mode for Vista.
In XLink's config, set it to use WinPcap instead of PSSDK.

For those with windows 7, go download the new WinPcap driver (google).
Then, put XLink in Compatibility Mode for Vista.
In XLink's config, set it to use WinPcap instead of PSSDK.
Why install extra stuff if it's not needed? All I did was set compatibility mode to vista service pack 2 and it works just fine without installing anything extra.

im actually quite sad I followed the instructions to a tee and now if my hdd is plugged into my 360 on boot it freezes!(logo freezes during the middle of the spin!
if i remove it, it boots fine
any ideas?
its a homebrew 500gb hard drive and xplorer 360 seems to crash when i try to load it (i guess its not compatible with it)
I had the same problem(I think). If you mean that it just doesn't boot to the dash after the Xbox 360 logo, then I know why. I was having the same problem and then I looked at the debug log and it turned out that for some reason my JTAG can't boot into XeXmenu and when I was holding X it wouldn't boot into Freestyle dash. So I just made Freestyle dash the default dash to boot to and now it boots perfectly. Also, I've been messing with the launch.ini and it is really buggy. Sometimes I will try to re-order the button list and it will just boot to NXE and not follow what I put in the ini at all.
QUOTE(Grandmaster56 @ Jun 29 2010, 01:28 PM)
what file do you set the quick launch button to for the xbox 1 emu?
I'm also wondering. Please if anyone knows, then tell us. I would love an answer.
If anyone is having trouble making their NAND image for FreeBOOT and doesn't have their original NAND, then follow this tutorial: http://insomniacgame...read.php?t=9068 Just make sure to replace the patch for your console with the one that came with dash launch or else it won't install dash launch at all. If you need any help, then just ask me.

I've reflashed my nand with bestbig's tool box 2.4, have the patch in hdd root and usb root...
I can usually see a game or two, but then the games always time out when attempting to connect after 5 tries, like the patch is not working. Any hints?
Same shit for me. Any hints?

I tried a bunch of different things to get dashlaunch to load FSD on startup with no success. My freeboot image was patched but it didnt seem to do the things i specificied in my launch.ini
so i tried flashing it to the nand and after that everything worked.
yes its harder to change, but just set it to launch FSD by default and its not too hard to go back to the dashboard

I see no games on my MW2 screen.
Make sure you port forward port 30000 in your router and have the latest title update for MW2 (TU6), if you also have a software firewall I would open port 30000 in there too, also open port 3074 UDP then try again

With the TU6 update is there anything else I should have other than the file that goes in the cache? Thats all I've added and haven't noticed any problems, what about the default_mp.xex, patch_mp.ff items that you find around, is there any need for updated ones of those, I don't want any mods.
You need the TU6 file for your cache, a TU6 default_mp.xex and a TU6 patch_mp.ff and then you will be able to connect to everyone. I think that TU5 patch_mp.ff's might also work with TU6 default_mp.xex's too, but I would just get a TU6 one just to be safe.

Despite all this, I have the same problem as the other folks here. I can see a game but not connect to it, it just times out. this happens in every single game I try.
what I realised was that in cod4 mw2, I dont have the tu6 and those people who do in kai cant see me and I cant see them. But, if we have the same old version, the connection just times out. though, from what I understand, if it times out, the patch is not working? right?
So what's missing...??
Post by: theninjaway on July 06, 2010, 12:34:00 AM
My example ini didn't have that, and I have the newest dash launch from xbins.
My example ini had xexmenu and freestyle dash. :S
Post by: Julets on July 06, 2010, 02:10:00 AM
Again, get it working without the patch, then try the patch.
Off Topic: I have a post in the dash launch thread about my xbox continuously rebooting right as it tries to load the dash, any help is welcomed. I would like to try kai with people farther away. And being you have to have dashlaunch installed correctly, I cannot do that. Unless, there is a way to apply the patch without dashlaunch?

I've used kai for about 6 years (before 360). You don't need a jtag to use it, you don't even need a 360 (it can even be a PSP, xbox1, etc...). So, what you should try to do is just get it working with 2 normal xbox's (with or without dvdrom mods matters not). Then, install the patch and see if it was really the patch. 8 times out of 10 it is a firewall. The other 2 times it is because you didn't read the manual for kai (you forward port 30000 to your PC's ip, _NOT_ to your xbox's ip). Also, there is a configure tool for kai in the install directory, it doesn't actually have to be port 30000. It works for the old kai client and the new we based one. Also, some virus programs can actually get in the way too, just in case you have a overbearing virus program, might want to check that.
Again, get it working without the patch, then try the patch.

I get the feeling that not many have this working. For all the hipe there doesn't seem to be a lot of users on Kai and this has nothing to do with the console when just in the Kai UI. If you can't see anyone in there then there's no chance of having a match.
I'm keen for some matches, my kai tag is Haydos but we have some different 360 gamertags also
As far as hosting or joining, Ive had no real problem unless the ping is real bad (+350ms, I'm in Oz BTW) and apart from the setting up I only have mw2 disc installed via nxe, TU6 update in cache and all the maps work including stimulus and resurgence. I installed these manually. Weird I thought you had to have default etc updated for these to work.

hmm I could have sworn that was in the example ini. My mistake, sorry about that. But it is either in the readme or the launch.ini that you can find all the combinations and the buttons you can use. I can't really check right now as my computer recently got a nice little Trojan and I had to reformat it and I lost most of my stuff.
Haygar- You shouldn't have to manually patch default.xex I've got TU6 in my cache and MW2 installed via Xexmenu and I can join just fine.

It works fine for me. As long as you have freeboot with dashlaunch 1.0 (launch.xex in flash, and i put the ini on hdd), the ping patch on hdd, the same title update, and your port 30000 forwarded (i connect my 360 to my laptop and give it an ip, subnet, default gateway and dns while forwarding the port to my laptop's ip, not using internet connection sharing either), in the 360's settings manually give it an ip, subnet, and gateway, it will work.
well ive got my laptop to 360 and bridged connections. kai says reachable. i am yet to try to forward the port to the laptop and not 360.
about the .ini file: what are your settings, I left default blank and had to add on [patches], is that necessary?

1. You don't even need to bridge the connections. Just do what i said above and it will work
2. My default is set to launch freestyle, and x launches xexmenu, and no you don't need to add anything to patches

Just this:
[QuickLaunchButtons]
Default = LHdd:\Game\FreestyleDash.xex
BUT_X = LHdd:\Content\0000000000000000\C0DE9999\00080000\C0DE99990F586558
the min it booted FSD i was able to connect to games.
Just like ninja said use the Xellous dump.
There's a mini tut i did on page 10 that worked for me.

anyone have any experience with this, dash launch seems to only boot with my ini, to fsd, when launch.xex is on my usb disk. I have it in the nand installed with flash_installer as well, but that doesnt seem to work. I have the .ini everywhere.
in my experience, having launch.xex on the root of my harddrive caused the box to freeze on bootup.
just need launch.ini on USB/HDD
launch.xex only on the nand with flash_installer.
i know this probably didn't help much but just my experience.
check to make sure your .ini's are all the same/accurate.

Post by: FalconLTD on July 07, 2010, 08:37:00 AM
since i got 2 routers (adsl modem and linksys router), I just opened port 30000 onto the linksys router.
I bridged connection so the router indirectly assigns ip to my 360 automatically (and the port is open for all devices)
(note: tu6 is necessary in cod4mw2)
I have not tried any other game because no one is online.
anyway, thanks for the help, see you all on kai...

I have FreeBOOT v.032, but I don't know if it has the correct patch that has dash launch installed on it. If I run the flash_installer, will it flash dash launch to my NAND or do I have to build a completely new image? Because I have no idea if I have dash launch already installed and I would just prefer to run the flash_installer instead of building a whole new image because I don't have my original NAND.
You shouldn't have to build a new image (especially if you had the nand option checked) And you will have to run the installer at least once or it(dashlaunch) won't be there.
QUOTE(avpdav @ Jul 7 2010, 07:42 AM)
Don't get too excited. I tried to take my Jtag online (after I updated to freeboot) and the second it tried to connect during setup, I got a message saying it was banned for ToS violations. (I wanted to connect it so I could recover my XBL account and get some game updates, but oh well.) Your's could be banned just as fast.
It's always worth saving ur KV (they're in very limited supply and in the future you may be able to do some very cool things that have nothing to do with MW2 or lobbys) Either way it's important to have Xbox Live blocked in ur settings as once it's banned (only takes an hour or 3) it will modify ur nand (not as big concern nowadays) and if it keeps trying to log on post fixing ur nand u r console will go on untrusted list and that will cause u issues with new games that have you on their list..(there's a workaround but it's a massive pain in the proverbial)

Make sure when you do ur build you have nand checked, It will boot from nand, but without a drive of some description (with the actual app - fsd) and an accompaning .ini/and FSD to boot from it will default to NXE or worse.
It's always better to have a seperate .ini etc.. for each drive as dashlaunch doesn't like to traverse drives.
I've also noticed that dashlaunch DOESN't Mount UsbMU's properly like it claims to they just default to USB0 etc.. and having one plugged-in (even after boot) can stuff up ur .ini after the UsbMu gets mounted as a normal USB and enumerates the one ur trying to boot off. Doh'
Hope this helps/Dan
