Boot to Freestyle Dash with Dashlaunch..?

xbox home screen m8, sorry for not been clear

I'm not sure why its running slow from your hdd.
If it runs better from your usb then change the launch.ini

[QuickLaunchButtons]
BUT_X = Hdd:\Content\0000000000000000\C0DE9999\00080000\C0 DE99990F586558 (should read C0DE99990F586558 with no spaces, tried to edit but couldn't fix)
Default = Usb0:\Freestyle\default.xex

assuming your usb shows as Usb0

or even run both from your usb

[QuickLaunchButtons]
BUT_X = Usb0:\XeXmenu\default.xex (assuming this is where you have xexmenu on your usb drive)
Default = Usb0:\Freestyle\default.xex (once again assuming this is where freestyle is on your usb)

ive come to the conclusion that when i run xex and launch frestyle. if i launch freestyle and then connect my external with games on it doesnt see my games. but if i run xex then connect my external harddrive, let xex see my HDD then run feestyle it works fine..

im gonna try send my games to a folder on my xbox HDD and see what happens from there..

external drive should be plugged in when you boot your console.

Is the problem that the xbox doesn't see you external drive at all?

Did you format your usb drive from your xbox to begin with.
If you format the drive from your pc, the xbox wont recognise the device

i formated the drive to fat32 from my pc. if i have my external drive connected then power on my xbox it wont boot fully, i just get the 360 video

[AgentD]

The drive needs to be formatted from your xbox, the microsoft dash. It installs some files on there.
It won't work until you do so.

[roryson]

so how come its ok when u boot freestyle from my external hdd

[roryson]

are you talking about my xbox hdd or my external?

[AgentD]

The usb drive needs a partition installed on it along with a file system which the xbox does when it formats.
There may be another way to do it but I'm not aware of it.

I believe this is what is causing you problems.

your external usb drive

what i was told is i needed to format the usb drive to fat32, and because that file system cant handle files over 4gig i had to convert the games over to GOD files

game's show fine in my library from the xbox hdd.

My usb drive was formatted by my console, it has an partition and some data files installed by the xbox.

It doesn't cause my console to freeze, it plays all games with or without converting to god packages and can handle all file sizes without issue.

I can only offer you advice and I believe if you were to format it from your xbox and start over you wouldn't be having all these issues.

sounds a good idea m8. ill give it a go, if u could tell me how to format my external drive

[AgentD]

use the nxe dashboard on your console, plug in the drive

go to system settings , look for your usb drive and click to format
