Freehood360  -  Xbox 360 Neighbourhood for JTAG's

http://rework3d.com/
http://ab-xy.net/
http://xboxscene.com/


***********
***About***
***********
I made this application since I wanted to give the JTAG community the ability to use official tools and tools the lucky Devkit owners can have. I started coding in Early may 2010 and development got a bit slow due to many things; Exams, Busy with my Fiance, Reach Beta, Mapping Plugins for Reach, Other projects, Lazyness and other stuff. Also a huge problem of not being about to rig my dev up to be able to test and not having a JTAG so development of the browser was restricted to coding on friends computers VIA Teamviewer. Then the added bonus of the second i finish school and can really press on with coming, Micrsoft decided to Brick my Dev, so i had to go back to developing over Teamviewer.

But i managed to pull my finger out and deliver this application. I hope you enjoy it and i might be releasing more features and updates depending on if you guys want it and how busy i become with more advanced school over the next two years, Who knows?

I hope you enjoy and i suppose here is my gift to the JTAG Community.

- Xerax



*******************
***Features in RC1***
*******************
- Add/Edit/Removal of Devices in the Applcation.
- Ability to browse files on all devices in or on the xbox (Hdd1, HddX, Flash, Usb, Memcard ect)
- Look and feel of Xbox 360 Neighbourhood in the Xbox 360 SDK
- Download and Upload files directly to the Device.
- Supports Infinite amout of JTAG's (But who has more than 10 at the most... lol.)
- Support for Development Kits (Reviewer, Test, Stress Test, Demo ect)
- Exception catching, so it shouldn't be a bitch and through a emo fit if you do something stupid.
- Creation of Folders
- Creation of Text and INI files
- Many More...



****************
***How to use!***
****************
Step 1:
- Load up Freehood360.

Step 2:
- Load up your jtagged xbox 360 and load up xexmenu 1.x or Freestlye Dash

Step 3 (Only do this the first time, or when you need to add a new xbox.):
- Grab your IP adress from the config tag
- Double click Add Console and add the IP address (The username and pass will always be xbox)
- Name it and select JTAG (You can select Development if you are doing this with a development xbox 360)
- Click Add Console, it's all done.

Step 4:
- Double click on your console icon and then it will load the drive (dvd, usb, hdd1, hddx, flash. ect)



********************
***Trouble Shooting***
********************
I get an error saying that "Make sure your Xbox 360 is powered on, Connected to the network and is in XeXMenu!"
- This is pretty strait forward, just check your connections ect.

I want to use this, but i don't want to connect to live by mistake!
- Simple, got to family settings and make sure that xbox live connection is forbidden.

***Open Sauce***
****************
This application was going to be fully open source, but since most people learn how to code from Open Source application code, i decided not to as the code is sloppy and not efficient (But does the job fine). Also the new community members that decide to ruin everything for everyone and might steal it, add a built in .ff editor for MW2 and sell it for a rediculious ammount of money. Since when was modding something people had to pay for? >.>

If you still really want it, contact me (look below) and we can talk something out.

Try clicking in the textbox at the top and pressing Enter.

It sounds like a bug I thought I fixed.

It seems to have a problem on FSD. XeXMenu is fine.

I'll look into it for you.

Nice ...
Good idea to call it "freehood" and using the Neighborhood Icon, since people will think its something related to Debug-Stuff, but its only a FTP-Client.
Pretty useless.

But really nice try ;-)

Some bugs:

- Wrong order for items in "add console" form, you cant tab in the right order
- No Accept/OK Button or anything else in "add console" form. You've to guess where it could be
- Can't connect to my box (ip is correct, ftp works fine)
- "check for updates" exit with a socket error message

Too bad its no real neighborhood which I expected first when I saw the topicname, it's just a FTP "gui"


But the look & feel is great.

This really got my hopes up, this still doesn't let you use a JTAG xbox as a DEV xbox and build/run/debug code with the XDK does it?

 No nothing of the sort my friend. Just gives you GUI access to your storage on the 360.

 Ok so my problem is my system keeps rebooting (xbox360) after it gives me the "make sure your 360 is connected error" so it is trying to connect my server but causing it to crash. I think the reboots are just the new dashlaunch patch working it's majic instead of making the system hang , because it does that whenever I am trying things out that may or may not work like Oblivion mods.

 I don't have any time to screw with this much but i did give it a try. I will try again when i see an update for it. I am definitely interested in this it would make transferring to my boxes easier than using filezilla.

 I am in the same boat as Grim , I don't have 10 personal machines but i have more than that in my house at once, all Jtagged.

Yeah I totally agree! The description is misleading: Giving use of Devkit tools etc.. why not just say FTP client for 360 (we've long needed one) why say Dev kit !! XS should edit the News posting..

I can't even get it to work, Like others I can connect but not browse

Pity , I would like to be able to compile my own .xex !! How do I go about it ?? - Without being rich? I already got ripped-off by M$'s XNA club! How hard could it be to set up a Devkit for JTAG boxes(flashed as devkit)??

I think this is a great concept and very practical tool. Once the bugs are worked out I'll be referring a lot of my customers to it since for the most part they find it difficult to grasp the concept and logistics of FTP.

Can't wait for the second release.. keep up the good work. Maybe remove that comment about official tools wink.gif

you're going to at least add a function to watch the folders within Content/0000000000000 with is respective name (game ids) to make it useful, as, filezilla does the same as your freehood for now (and even more).

Another good feature to add would be the allowance to manipulate the data in the reserved capacity for 9199 formatted USB storage devices. Much like what USBXTAF does. So if it's connected to the console, we could r/w to those slots.


agree not many programs do this yet. Maybe I can add this to freestyle dash 1.2 untill 2.0 comes out smile.gif

Sorry to hear that, there's really no point in your app, as no official tool (or clone) is involved, just ftp and not any other single tool.


XM360 does much more, I'll have to donate.

While I won't comment on the usefulness of this application, I will comment on the fact that it is spelled "newest", not "newist". It says a lot about both the usefulness and effectiveness of your application when you can't even spell the word "newest" correctly. If I needed this program, I wouldn't download it due to the spelling errors. When I see simple, elementary school spelling errors, I think to myself that this program probably has numerous coding errors. as well.

I partially agree on this, but if there were spelling errors in the code, the code of this program would not compile.

Thanx, pls continue your development, I don't think that spelling in text boxes is that big a deal... As long as the code works.....

If you added some bells and whistles you would attract donations (assuming that the base worx 1st - and is relatively robust) There's plenty of source code and .dll's around now. It's not like every niche has been filled yet :-)

We appreciate your effort, perhaps try to minimise (focus) your description in future (and keep it clear)

What I don't get is why you made this not be able to move files from your xbox to your computer, nor re-name anything besides folders.
