Freestyle Dash has a built in http webserver that allows you to view your game collections, homebrew and apps, edit their displayed artwork and descriptions and titles from your PC with your Jtag connected to your home Network and running Freestyle Dash.

To access the webserver, firstly ensure that it is enabled in Freestyle Dash's settings on your Jtag, then in your webrowser's address bar, enter your Jtag's IP address, if you don't know it, you can find it on the dashboard by clicking the right thumbstick to enable the statusbar and looking in the lower left hand corner.

It should look something like this: 192.168.1.113
then enter the username: fsdhttp
and the password: fsdhttp
unless you changed the default username and password of course.

It will then load the webserver's interface, you'll notice lots of cool options, and you should definitely get to know it, it is a very useful tool. Anyway we're going to add some custom artwork.

Go to the tab labeled Game Lists and click on Homebrew. The next page will populate a list of your homebrew installed apps. This is where I placed my apps such as XeXMenu and XM360. Now to change the art you simply click on the name of the app or game you want to add art for, then on the next page you will be able to browse your computer for images to add for the icon, banner, cover, background, and even screenshots. You can also edit the items description and name as it appears in your game list. Once you have selected the images just make sure to scroll to the bottom and hit save details. The artwork will upload in a few seconds, and immediately show in the menu on your Jtag.

And that's it, now have fun replacing the missing artwork or even replacing some of the more boring ones.

I only made images for the apps and emulators that I use, so feel free to make your own and share them or ask nicely and I will make more or perhaps someone with more graphic skill will volunteer. I just used paint in windows to make these images. Its very easy to do.

This is a plugin for the latest Dashlaunch 2.08 that will swap discs for you automatically on multi-disc games. In order to use this, you must have Dashlaunch 2.08 installed. If you need to do so, please follow This
tutorial in order to install/configure Dashlaunch 2.08. I am going to show you how to set this up on your internal (attached) hard drive, so you must have one to follow this tutorial properly.

1: Grab the Disk Swapper Plugin package [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] . I have included all of the original files as well as a verified working example multi.ini and a verified working example launch.ini.

2: Open the multi.ini included in the package or the example multi.ini (recommended) and add the Title ID (this can be found using FSD's built in Http webserver) and paths to your multi-disc games. I have included a working example multi.ini in the package that you can use for reference, or you may simply modify it to include your own multi-disc game title IDs and paths, then re-name it "multi.ini" without the quotations. Don't forget to save your changes. After it is setup, your new multi.ini should look something like this:

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

If you are setting up multi-disc games that have been extracted from ISOs rather than converted to GOD format, rather than pointing the multi.ini to the CON file like the included example and screenshot, you simply add a \ to the end of the game path and it will automatically search that path for the games default.xex. So an example of the setup/path for an extracted game would be:

[4b4e0809]
;Castlevania Lords Of Shadow
disk1 = Hdd:\360 Games\Castlevania Lords Of Shadow\Disc 1\
disk2 = Hdd:\360 Games\Castlevania Lords Of Shadow\Disc 2\

assuming the default.xex is in the Disc 1,2 folder etc.

3: Copy your launch.ini from your Jtag to your PC using a flash drive, external hard drive, or FTP make a backup of the launch.ini in case you need to start over or restore it later.

4: Open your launch.ini and add this line:
"[Plugins]
plugin1 = Hdd:\swap.xex"
I suggest you copy the line inside the quotations and paste it into your launch.ini as this plugin is extremely case sensitive and uses Hdd and Usb rather than Hdd1 or Usb0 etc. Don't forget to save your changes. Once the line is added your new launch.ini should look something like this:

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

5: Copy your multi.ini, launch.ini, and swap.xex to a flash drive or external drive, or launch your FTP program now. Place all three of these files on the root of your hard drive, overwriting your old launch.ini.

6: Thats it, if done properly and there are no misspelled paths, or case sensitive errors (if you manually added the plugins line to your launch.ini) then it should work now. If it does not, some people have reported that running the Dashlaunch 2.08 installer again made it work. I personally did not need to do this, but there are other forums where I saw this discussed.

Hope you enjoyed my tutorial and if you have any feedback or suggestions feel free to post comments here

More covers - [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Few notes for those speculating/curious:

1) Video is real time, and runs same speed on JTAG
2) Core coverflow code is based around wiiflow 1.1 (credit will be given where due when complete). It has been strongly adapted to the xbox360 platform, including xui, and direct x
3) Skin is based around Ellipsis from XBMC and Team Blackbolt- we have permission from EqUiNoX to base it around this ( EqUiNoX is an ex-member of Team Blackbolt and a current member of Team FSD)
4) Music was done by Blackwolf from #freestyledash
5) Not a skin for FSD2.0, its also not a future update for FSD2.0- it does contain the FSD backbone- but separate for now. Currently, we are trying to get community participation in building a cover library similar to that of wiitdb.com
6) No release date- and its not close to ready- our intent is to show you what's coming so we as a whole have drive to build the cover database.

As promised with the release of FSD 2.0 RC1.0/1.1, Team FSD will now be releasing W.I.P. builds of FreeStyle Dash v2.0, the alternative dashboard for homebrew/JTAG 360s, more regularly.

Today they released RC1.2 (Rev 1927), available as independent download or if you have FSD2 Alpha/RC1.1 you can use the build-in updater.

There's no changelog included, but there are probably lots of fixes since its first public release earlier this month. The Team FSD website is currently being moved to a new webserver, but you can always reach the team on #FreeStyleDash on EFnet.

Note: Whenever I say slash, I mean backslash.
Note2: You can add roms to an external hard drive or flash drive as long as you put the roms in the correct directory.

Directory for Hdd:
Snes = hdd:\Emus\Snes360\roms
GenesisPlus = hdd:\Emus\genesis360\roms
Mame = hdd:\Emus\mame\roms (Make sure you change the option file like I show you in Part 2)

Directory for USB Storage Device:
Snes = usb:\_Emus\Snes360\roms (You MUST have the _)
GenesisPlus = usb:\_Emus\genesis360\roms (You MUST have the _)
Mame = USB:\Emus\mame\roms (Make sure you change the option file like I show you in Part 2)

Note: The whole part where he talks about renaming the ROMs so that they can run is unneeded. You can do it if you want, but you don't have to because most games will fit under the character limit. If you think the ROM name goes over the character limit, then you can rename it. It doesn't really matter though.
