Dash Launch
Current Version: v3.05 | Written by cOz
Dash Launch is an Xbox 360 Dashboard XDK-homebrew RGH/JTAG 360s.
What It Does:
waits for bootanim to finish, then launches a con (you don't see NXE dash)
currently launch.xex is built to launch xexmenu con at
Hdd:\Content\0000000000000000\C0DE9999\00080000\C0DE99990F586558
Install:
-put launch.xex in the root of your hard drive's content partition
-add the included patches to freeboot/xbr patchset (there is a bonus in there for those who don't have it)
xex source is included, in it's current form it does the minimal amount of work to launch the con if it's not present it should fail to dash with "could not load" error message
Overview - what it does
- It will launch a XeX or CON file from the path you specified in launch.ini as long as it's valid
- Depending on the button you hold when the xbox is trying to load the NXE, it will divert to the xex/con tied to that button or return to default as defined in launch.ini
- Depending which button is held when closing miniblade in NXE (use Y button to close, release then hold a QL button) it will quick launch a CON or XEX from your ini file
- allows one to patch kernel/xam at bootup with a freeBOOT patch style bin file from usb or hdd (in that order) must be in root of the device and be named "kxam.patch" and be no larger than 0x4000 bytes. Again, kxam.patch binary format is the same as a compiled freeboot patch bin, but uses real virtual addresses rather than offsets - see 1.0 release for a windows patch builder
- with the included patch set, launch.xex acts as a helper to detect when xbox1 emulator loads, allowing memory unlock patch and xbox1 emulator to function together
What's new/fixed v2.32:
* fixed glitch jasper big block patch installer
* reworked contpatch yet again, should perform equal to xm360 now (thanks node21!)

What's new/fixed v2.23:

new path is default.xex dirVERSIONfiles
ie: GAME:13599patches_jasper.bin
Whats new/fixed v2.22:
- resolving 'localhost' when the router forwards it to the internet or there is no network at all... bad idea game devs... fixed (Yars', maybe others)
- button handler now more reliably removes Y and A mishandling when held on miniblade exits

- changed kxam.patch, first .long must be the kernel version the patches match
- added a check to kxam.patch data to abort on invalid address
- added "nohud" option
- added installer check to verify at least the 1BL segment of patches before installing, will re-ask and warn of possible corruption/brick

* disables updaters (DA2 and other disks; safety)
* minor tweaks to boot time delays, further improves on previous autologin issue
Known Bugs v2.10 Beta:
* Thanks to excellent testers, none were corned by the time of this writing. If you find any during use, find the release thread at xbox-scene and please report them there.

* correct bug with busy CON/sometimes ignoring ini for boot time default item
* made boot time quick launch buttons more reliable
* added 1s delay to resolve autologin at boot issue and slower USB hdd issues
* patches updated to remove min version check (DA2)
Known Bugs:
* Some users have found that freestyle set as a default item or returning to freestyle from NXE via miniblade hook is freezing the machine. If you have issue with this bug, please use the 2.08 launch.xex in the files directory and re-run the updater
What's new/fixed v2.07:

Whats New/Fixed v2.03
* At time of this writing, this is ONLY compatible with "freeBOOT" 12611 read info_launch.ini for info on options and setting launch parameters.
* This a core rewrite, major changes were done to the paths used in the ini file, the installer can update these for you if you have the old ini files accessible at the time of install. See the inlcuded sample ini files.
* The installer is now much more robust, and can even flash the appropriate patches to your console for you, all that is required is that you have installed freeboot 12611
What's new/fixed v2.02:
* consider this a beta as we still have no clue why some ini issues occur*
- added version info to data struct exported at ordinal 1
- made number of times button holds are scanned variable, longer window at boot time to sync controller and hold a button
- added region spoofing for XGetGameRegion
- DVD video play from NXE now plays DVD regardless of default setting
What's new/fixed v2.01:
* corrected flash mu mount point (thanks Antho02 at l-s)
