  • One of the following transfer methods: USB flash drive, FTP program, or Transfer cable
  • [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] (I included an additoinal theme made by blackened dove)
  • [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]


Edit Your launch.ini

Locate the launch.ini
installer/files/launch.ini


[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Open launch.ini and use the following to setup which dashboard you want to load by default, simply copy and replace the setup to your liking. If you use the files I provided and change nothing it will load Freestyle dash by default.

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


Retail dashboard
[QuickLaunchButtons]
BUT_X = Hdd:\Content\0000000000000000\C0DE9999\00080000\C0DE99990F586558
BUT_Y = Hdd:\Freestyle\default.xex
Default =
[Settings]
nxemini = true
pingpatch = true


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



USB flash drive TUT

Step 1
Download the links provided and place them on your USB flash drive, then move your USB flash drive to your Jtag and turn it on.

Step 2
Get to the xexmenu however you normally do.

When Xexmenu loads,

  • press RB on the xbox controller
  • press X
  • select Usb0 and push A


Should look like this

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Select Freestyle, press Y, select Copy and press A
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Press X, select HDD1 and press A
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Press Y, select Paste and press A
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Press X, select Usb0 and press A
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Select installer and press A
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Select default.xex and press A
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

When it loads it should look like this, now press A
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Press A
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Answer the questions to your liking, here is my setup,
Would you like to change settings? [B]A - yes[/B]
Do you want to be able to relaunch from miniblade in NXE dash? [B]B - no[/B]
Do you want to enable FBDev's ping limit patch? A - yes
Do you want to enable mojobojo's content unlock patch? [B]B - no[/B]
Do you want the console to freeze on fatal errors? [B]B - no[/B]
Do you want the console to reboot on fatal errors? [B]A - yes[/B]
Do you want to enable ability to region spoof with RB on game launch? [B]A - yes[/B]
When a default item is set and you playing a video, exit back to NXE? [B]B - no[/B]
When you are playing an XBLA game and use the exit option, exit to NXE? [B]B - no[/B]
Do you want to remove the ability to go to system settings via miniblades?[B] B - no[/B]
Do you want to block the xbox from finding system updates? [B]A - yes[/B]

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Press A to shutdown
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

As a safety precaution, I unplugged the xbox for the back of the console for 10 secs, like when swapping keyvaults, plugged it back in and turned the xbox on. It should now boot into Freestyle Dash by default.


FTP program TUT

Step 1
Download the links provided and place them somewhere you have easy access to, I usually place them on the desktop.

Step 2
Open your FTP program (FlashFXP, FileZilla, ect..) and turn on your Jtag.

Locate the files you downloaded and connect to your Jtag, should look like this.
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Double click on Hdd1
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

This is where you need to transfer the files to.
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Single click on Freestyle
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Click the Transfer icon
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Single click on installer
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Click the Transfer icon
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Both folders should now be on your Hdd1, and should look like this.
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

You can now click the "Disconnect" icon and close the FTP program.
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Step 3
Go to your Jtag and locate Hdd1

Select installer and press A
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Select default.xex and press A
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

When it loads it should look like this, now press A
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Press A
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Hi, i tried everything to make the freestyle dash appear in NXE' games library, but it doesn't. So how do I do this? or is the 2.0 rc2.1 not compatible with it? Everytime I want to launch fsd I hav to use, xexmenu. And i don't even want the xbox to noot up on fsd, using dashlaunch. I think I'm missing something here. Please help me out here!
