*** RGH 1 IS NOT in this build it will be finished in 12 days when tydye returns be patient please! ***

*** Update: I have reverted to the last build v300(g) was causing a major bug for a few people Remember this is BETA still Thank you ***

Corona Support Thanks Razkar for the Video :



What is RGLoader?
**********************
RgLoader is a modified Development kit kernel for RGH and Jtag modified Xbox 360 consoles.
You will get all the features you would with an official development kit, except features which require
a sidecar or extended memory. Some features such as Kernel Debugging can be replicated using the UART
or Ethernet port.

RgLoader also brings some Retail features as it is a hacked development Kernel. They will be listed
below.

**RGLoader is still BETA please use at your own risk , we are not responsible if you brick your console.**

This is likely the last BETA of RGLoader/RGBuild, and there may be a longer wait until the next build so we have
tried to add as many useful features into this build as possible. We wanted to thank all the BETA testers in #rgloader and
#rgloader-dev. You really helped us get this build debugged and ready for release quickly.

Rgloader is built, maintained, and supported by real people with lives outside of IRC and Internet Forums.. We
do this as a hobby, but servers, ZNCs, test systems etc all cost money. If you like the software and can spare a dollar or two,
please click the 'donate' button found on the RGbuild Launcher used to launch the image builder.

Features
**************************


RGLoader/RGBuild:

- Dynamic and opensource patches. All patches and binaries get compiled at runtime in RGBuild. Feel free
to modify (at your own risk) any source files in \patches.

- Runtime patching with RGLoader.xex... You can think of this in very simple terms as a dashlaunch like add-on..

- JTAG SUPPORT - Sorry to bring this up, but a lot of people still have fully working Jtag
systems , and are very glad to be able to run it as a Devkit.

- XELL boots with a power on with the eject button for Libxenon homebrew support, and Rawflash access to update easily.

- Corona 16MB motherboard support

- Kernel 15574 is now the default kernel. RDPC should work ... Along with being able to play all the newest games.


Rgloader Runtime Patcher:

- Adds extra patches for xam or any other exe/dll in memory.

- Allows more runtime access and control of patches. Loads rgloader.ini from the
hard drive root or USB flash drive root.

- Block_Live_Dns = Blocks xbox live DNS so you can't "phone home"

- Boot_Animation_Path = \SystemRoot\RGL_bootanim.xex - Custom Bootanim.xex location.

- Boot_Animation_Movie = Hdd:\\bootanim.wmv - Custom Bootanimation file

- Map_USB_Mass = Makes all usb devices and extended partitions show up in xbox neighborhood

- Default_Dashboard = Sets the default dashboard

- No_Sign_Notice = Disables xbox live signin error notice

- Redirect_Xshell_Start_But = Redirects the xshell start button dashboard launch

- Retail_Profile_Encryption = Enables retail profiles on devkit kernel (BETA)
***WARNING: This ^^ may corrupt live profiles! Do not enable this patch if you have profiles you want to keep clean!***


Custom Boot Animation:
- This feature was made specifically with the user in mind. Instead of locking it to a predetermined video, we left it up to the
end user to decide how you want your boot animation to look. There is a default rgloader bootanim, but any WMV should work.
We need some feedback from users on what codecs inside the WMV actually work the best , but so far it seems anything works
Here is an example of a custom boot animation one of our testers made for his limited edition console:




Devkit:

- Full LAN and UART debugging with all the SDK debugging tools.

- XBOX neighborhood browsing and launching of applications.

- No ping limit by default.

- DevKV support -Dummy generation through RGBuild. (will not get on PNET)

- All XEX limits removed, and retail keys added (launches Retail XeXs)

- Full memory editing capabilities. RTE without running an xex for game modding such as COD
and HALO etc ...

- Xbmovie video screen captures (Very Slow even on a real XDK)

- Debug game build support - unreleased games , test builds , Debug BETAs etc ....


Retail/Gaming:

- DVD Auth patch - Retail game discs will spin up and play, burned games if your drive is flashed
including AP2.5 games and XGD3.

- Media, Region, minimum version , etc limits have all been removed for xexs

- NO ping limit for System link for Xlink/Xbslink gaming..

- FCRT restriction is removed so you can use any drive you like.

- Devlink supported to connect with retail consoles.

- Retail Avatar support.

- Retail profile support with patch enabled in rgloader.ini **Careful can corrupt LIVE profiles read previous warning**


Protections:

- Xell On Eject for bad flash correction (almost impossible to brick)

- Recovery disc blocking (protects against bad recoveries or just running them at all)

- Shadow booting is disabled.

- LIVE DNS blocking. (PNET blocking).

- Dummy/Fake KV generation

Future features:

- RGbuild+ .......?

/ - | USAGE | - \


You will need .NET Framework 4.0 or 4.5 installed. May also work with Mono.

-Copy rgloader.ini and bootanim.wmv to the root of the hard drive.

-Copy the contents of hdd-filesystems to 'Hdd:\Filesystems\15574-dev'

-Extract the 0v300 builder rar to a folder.

-Copy 'filesystems' and 'loaders' to the 0v300 builder folder overwriting files/folders.

-Run the launcher and build your nand

-Open the RGBuild Launcher and type in your CPU_Key and select your build options.

-Click the NAND button to browse for your source nand image.

-Click "RGBuilder" button to start the process.

-Output will be next to this file named: Image._____.bin

-Flash this with whatever flash tool you wish.

----------- Prototype NAND Image Editor -----------
Click "RGLoader" button in the launcher, or run rgbuild.exe /ui to open the rgbuild UI, which is a prototype NAND image editor similar to 360 flash tool.
The GUI is still very beta, but should be very functional now. Please reports bugs to #rgloader @ EFNet!

===================Custom Boot Animations=======================
Set 'Boot_Animation_Path = \SystemRoot\RGL_bootanim.xex' in rgloader.ini on your hard drive root, and place a bootanimation wmv on the hard drive root
named bootanim.wmv and it will play this movie file when the xbox boots.

NOTICE:
The only way we were able to load wmvs was by waiting for the kernel to fully load before running the boot animation. This doesn't make a lot of sense, and does increase the boot time
by a few seconds so we are working on a way of replacing the normal one. If you do not like this delay, feel free to switch back to the regular animation by:
-Delete 'Boot_Animation_Path' from rgloader.ini on the hard drive root.
-Set 'disable_bootanim = 0' in options.ini, and rebuild/flash your nand image.
================================================================


=========================Corona RGH=============================
RGLoader has been updated to work with 16MB corona motherboards.
================================================================


=================Retail Profile Encryption======================
This enables use of retail/live profiles on the RGLoader devkit kernel. The devkit kernel handles profiles differently from retail so there is a chance it will
corrupt your profile. This mostly effects live profiles. Do not enable this if you have live profiles on your hard drive! Backup your CONTENT folder first if you
want to experiment ;)

NOTE: This is a beta feature and the bugs will be fixed soon.

Usage:
Set Retail_Profile_Encryption = 1 under [Expansion] in rgloader.ini
================================================================


================Flexible Systemroot Patches=====================
(hard drive free installs!)

We have added a new feature to replace the E90 error that gets thrown when the hard drive is missing or files have been misnamed.
If any errors occur during its attempt to remap systemroot to the hard drive (wrong folder name, hdd unplugged, etc..) it will boot into
minimal NAND only mode where the devkit launcher dashboard will still boot.

This means that a hard drive is not neccesary to run RGLoader! This also means that you can just flash the image on and use minimal mode to copy
and setup the hard drive files for the full installation using xbox neighborhood.

It is not recommended to use the minimal mode, but it does work.
================================================================


=====================DUMMY KV Generation========================
To protect you from getting your keyvaults banned, we have added an option to options.ini for creating a
temporary dummy KV. This sometimes introduces a lag when going to the dashboard and some xex caused by the
xbox live connection timeout. If this annoys you, just disable it in options.ini and we will get it fixed soon.
================================================================


---Things to come---

RGBuild+

\_____________________|- GREETINGS -|_________________________/

RGLoader was started from the foundations left by others.
We hold no claim to researching everything used in rgloader.
It's thanks to the work of the amazing people below that we got anywhere:

tmbinc, almost every 360 tool owes you for your initial work. although
we may be -FAR- away from your intended goals, we'd still like to thank
you for your amazing work and the example you set for a good reverse engineerer.

The 360 Flash Tool team, thanks for your amazing tool which has
helped many people, many times over. My only gripe is that it's
not open, maybe one day.

GliGli, Tiros, and co., I'm sure anybody with a glitched console should
know the work you all put in. I hope recent releases won't deter you
from continuing to contribute to the scene with your work.

Tuxuser, Cancerous, sk1080, and Juvenal for their work on open source, legal homebrew.

Big thanks to cOz for tips and hints and for the work he has contributed
to the scene.

jsjar for graphics and dash skin.

m0j0j0_j0 for RGLauncher skin and icons.

Razkar for the news from Homebrew-Connection and the release videos

Thanks to Tortuga Cove for providing news updates and hosting services.

Thanks to team-xecuter & xconsoles for donating a xenon jtag! RGLoader JTAG would not exist without this.

End User Custom Boot animations : (Show Us Yours)


We decided to let the end user pick what they want to see when the console boots. Just pick a WMV, rename it bootanim.wmv and put it in the root of your HDD.

White RGLoader animation :

You are welcome ... I have updated the downloads on Xbins , the public release version had a bug in it that was causing a 'game could not start' error , this version should fix that , it was the version we tested thoroughly before changing one more thing which seems to have broken something else ... Since tydye is away I am just going back one revision , it is the one anyone in IRC would have most likely tested.

Thank you , if you have any issues please join #rgloader on IRC for support.
