Boot to Freestyle Dash with Dashlaunch..?

[roryson]

my setup at the moment is, FREEBOOT with XEXMENU in my drive, with XEXMENU i then boot FREESTYLE DASH which in im my External hdd. after i boot into FSD and play a game im sent back to FREEBOOT when im finished with the game, so i have to load FSD again with XEXMENU.
What i want is FSD on my main HDD and DASHLAUNCH i think so im booted straight to FSD on boot and stay on it. i think on boot there is a way of booting to FREEBOOT if i want to. So, this is what i want but dont know how to do this. Any help people with a guide.. Thankx in advance..

Download dashlaunch and freestyle dash
Open dashlaunch folder and edit the launch.ini file in notepad
here's an example

[QuickLaunchButtons]
BUT_X = Hdd:\Content\0000000000000000\C0DE9999\00080000\C0 DE99990F586558 (should read C0DE99990F586558 with no spaces, tried to edit but couldn't fix)
Default = Hdd:\Freestyle\default.xex
[Settings]
nxemini = true
pingpatch = true
contpatch = true
fatalfreeze = false
fatalreboot = false
dvdexitdash = false
xblaexitdash = false
nosysexit = false
nohud = false
noupdater = true
debugout = false
exchandler = true
bootdelay = 0x2A
liveblock = true
livestrong = false
remotenxe = false
hddalive = false
hddtimer = 210

remember to save when done


Copy Freestyle Folder, Installer folder from Dashlaunch and also the launch.ini file to usb drive (I'm assuming you're using a usb drive) and connect to your xbox.

Copy the contents to your xbox HDD using xex menu ( x button selects drive, y button to select options)
(Here's how if you're not sure)
press RB on the xbox controller
press X
select Usb0 and push A
select Freestyle, press Y, select Copy and press A
Press X, select HDD1 and press A
Press Y, select Paste and press A

Press X, select Usb0....... repeat the above steps for installer folder and launch.ini file

Now to install dashlaunch,

open the installer folder in your xbox HDD
run the default.xex
when it loads press A to install dashlaunch and follow the prompts
it will apply the settings described in the launch.ini file you edited and any patches if needed
After it completes press A to shut down
I dont know if it makes a difference but I tend to unplug the power supply from the console for a few secs
Plug the power back in, switch on and Freestyle should boot

cool m8, thanks alot. when i launched freestyle from my xbox harddrive before your post freestyle didnt recognise i had a external drive connected and thus wouldnt play games i had on drive. any ideas please..??

[AgentD]

Go to freestyle settings/content settings/manage game paths
then add the path to your usb drive games folder. eg usb0:\games
when you boot up your xbox or return to dash it will scan the folder specified.
There's also a tab in the settings to do a manual scan.

Ahh, my mistake. i had already done this process but when i was running freestyle from my usb drive. so i forgot i had to do this again on the freestyle running from xbox hdd. thanks again m8

[roryson]

the settings u sent, are thay what i want to be putting in my .ini file or like u said they are just an example. ive not been using a usb stick, ive been using FTP. Thankx..

[roryson]

Also, im not sure what i did but after i shut down my xbox after trying to boot freestyle from my xbox hdd it wouldnt reboot, all i got was the power symbol without the rings flashing, i also didnt get an image on my tv. i tried reboot after reboot with no look, even tried powering up by pressing the eject button.... so i pulled the power and removed all cables on the box and after that it booted fine. any thoughts.??

[AgentD]

is your console a glitch hack or jtag? sounds a bit like it wasn't glitching properly so the exploit wasn't working.

[cunny]

Unplug everything. Power lead, usb + HDD. Wait 30 seconds to a minute. Plug the power back in, nothing else.

Press eject and see if you get into xell reloaded.

If you do it might be best to reflash your nand using the backup img you got sent out.

Did your file locations match the path set?

Hdd:\Freestyle\default.xex including spelling?

once you get it back up. Might be best to format the HDD and start a fresh

[roryson]

i think im using the glitch, running COOLRUNNER.

[cunny]

Yes its glitched.

[AgentD]

did I misunderstand? is it booting properly now after replacing the cables?

[roryson]

it seems to be booting ok now m8

[roryson]

in your post about setting up the .ini file you said
BUT_X = Hdd:\Content\0000000000000000\C0DE9999\00080000\C0 DE99990F586558
is that the right path for me, if not how do i find the right path for Freeboot.?

BUT_X = Hdd:\Content\0000000000000000\C0DE9999\00080000\C0 DE99990F586558
Default = Hdd:\Freestyle\default.xex

by default freestyle dash will launch on startup or when you return to dashboard from game. As Cunny mentioned make sure the path to the default.xex for freestyle is correct including spelling.

If you hold the x button while booting or returning to dash, Xex Menu will launch
(C0DE99990F586558 should have no spaces in it, I'm not sure why it appears with a space above)

If you hold the right bumper you will go to NXE dash
