Freestlye Dash?

[mimicuk]

Hi..... i was wondering if some-one would be able to show me or direct me to the easiest step by step guide to get freestyle dash booting at startup.

Kind regards mimic

See this thread, the Dash Launch part is about two thirds down the page.

I tried this but its not working for me

 

[BL4K3Y]

How do you mean "not working"? Have you edited launch.ini correctly (rename sample_launch.ini and change accordingly)?

 

[mimicuk]

Yeh i think ive done it right!

Here is my launch ini file....

[QuickLaunchButtons]
BUT_X = USB:\Content\0000000000000000\C0DE9999\00080000\C0DE99990F586558
Default = Hdd:\FSD2\default.xex
[Settings]
nxemini = true
pingpatch = true

The only problem i think is when i ftp,ed everything over my xbox 360 hdd is named HDD1 and my external is USB0!

Do i have to change my ini file to HDD1 instead of HDD?


thanks

it can be a pian in the ass mate at first.
have your fsd folder in the hdd1 patition an your hd and name it fsd 2 then use this as your launch ini setup.
[QuickLaunchButtons]
BUT_X = Hdd:\Content\0000000000000000\C0DE9999\00080000\C0DE99990F586558
Default = Hdd:\fsd2\default.xex
[Settings]
nxemini = true
pingpatch = true

will sort you right out.

no leave it as is but check the folder you have fsd in is named exactly like in your ini file. you have got the ini file on the hdd1 partition too right?

 

[BL4K3Y]

I normally just do this:

[QuickLaunchButtons]
Default = Hdd:\FSD2\default.xex
[Settings]
nxemini = true
pingpatch = true

Make sure FSD2 is named correctly and is in the root of HDD1 or the above launch.ini code will not work. Oh, and be sure to put launch.ini on the root of HDD1 as well .

 

[mimicuk]

Thanks will try that now buddy

will let you know if it works

 

[garageinc]

yes you need to add the 1 then it will work i have seen this sort of thing happen before

i never have 1 in mine and my ini works perfectly though i always use it when flashing dash launch soo it may change it and make me wrong.

 

[mimicuk]

this is bloody doin my head in , i think ive tried every combination going

 

[BL4K3Y]

Did you rename sample_launch to launch.ini after changing it?

 

[mimicuk]

yes buddy

Good question.

DO NOT CREATE A NEW FILE!

Notepad etc adds data to the first sector of the file which shouldn't be there. You won't see it in notepad but it's there. Just edit the sample_launch.ini, rename and copy to the root of your disk.

If it's still not working, confirm where you have FSD copied and the xex filename.

i dunno mate that looks right for your originally posted ini settings. there is a default xex in the FSD2 folder isn't there and how is it named exactly? if its not that i'm stumped

 

[mimicuk]

yes the xex file is named default.xex

 

[garageinc]

its got me then mate sorry. hopefully martin can spot something i'm missing he knows his jtag stuff

i just spotted where you are from matey. is that the jtag i sold recently sent to accrington?

never mind just seen it is indeed from my friend list. didn't notice it was you mate all this time, sorry.

did you try my launch ini set up mate? it booted straight to freestyle no problem with that config and it was used when i installed the dash launch on it. you will need to also change your FSD2 folder to fsd2 for use with my ini.
