FreeStyleDash v2.0 7/5/2010 Progress Info

Helldoc reports about the progress made to the upcoming FreeStyleDash v2.0 on his blog by taking a look at the (internal) 7/5/2010 SVN build:

Testing is underway and things are looking amazing!! There’s still some visual issue: A tab sometime appears blue, seems to be some threading issue with our skin xml loading… If your content list is pretty much empty issues is not seen….

Copy DVD is working fine, but skin needs some work.

In the profile tab, the gamertag is misaligned.

HTTP downloader is 100% stable, all of my content seems to get scanned fine ( i got lots of extracted games and xbla games. GOD and homebrew should list fine too, will test later.

About the SVN log not working anymore, it seems like there some issue with our website, just go to http://trac.teamfsd.com/log and you’ll see whats going on.

System Ping Check Removal v0.1 – No More 30ms Limit

Team FBDev released System Ping Check Removal v0.1 for homebrew 360:

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(info)
- 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)
