FreeStyle Dash v2.0 RC 1.8 Options

[tk_saturn]

Where can we download this besides the teamfsd website? Their registration isn't working and this latest release isn't at the "usual place".

If you really can't find it, use an older version and let it update. Mine auto updates fine.

Mine doesn't auto update fine for some reason. I had auto updated fine in the past..but this time it just stops downloading and doesnt ask me to apply the update.

Tried deleting all game data but no auto update.

'Tis now.

Thanks for keeping the updates coming guys

Yes, choose your targets in tools/edit config and bob's your aunty!

Since this was brought up in this post what do you guys have set as you're thermal settings?

These are what mine are as default. 080°C;071°C;073°C - 095°C;090°C;092°C

I would like to change them but what do you guys see as good setting. Does anyone also have a good explination of what each of the 6 settings means
Ps I have a Jasper 512

Thanks

It tells you in the tool what they are:, CPU/ GPU/ ED-RAM. I normally have 53/53/53 or 55/55/55 and leave the overload values unchanged. Probably a good idea though to change the overload to 80/80/80.

Sorry I dont see that in .97 Flash Dump Tool but maybe I am blind. Thanks for you setting. I put mine at 52/52/52 and 80/80/80 but while sitting at FreeStyleDash it never went above 52C. Hoe does it know when to ramp up the fans and what does the overload do? thanks again

Yeah, it is a bit off topic but anyway they go in order of cpu/gpu/edram. The first three are the target temperatures that it will attempt to maintain under. The second three are the overtemps that will send it into shutdown.

Obviously it varies from console to console at what they average coz for my jasper I have them set at 58 degrees for all the targets and the overtemps I've set pretty low. Around 75 degrees from memory - I've had no shutdowns.
If I set the targets any lower than that, on a warmish day the fans will be way up.

I don't really get how some jaspers have such low gpu temperatures, but even for those some have higher cpu temps, some quite higher than the gpu!?
I cant complain about my cpu temps though, low 40's.

Thanks for the info Haygar. I remeber we talked about this a while ago in one of my other threads. This way is a lot better than setting the default in freestyle to like 70% which is really loud all the time.

You need to enable tooltips in the options.

You want the overload temps high enough so the console will never power off from normal use, but low enough that it will power off the console if there's any issue at all with the cooling etc. A Jasper shouldn't under normal use go above 60C unless the thermal paste needs replacing/ dust hoovering out etc.

It won't go above 52C, that's the idea. The console will adjust the fans so it won't go above 52C, that's from the second it powers up so also while running Linux/ Xell etc. You can then always override it in FSD2 on the fly as you see fit.

"(Added) Ability to hide a game from your game list"

Great feature but how do you do it?


edit:Found it. you hit y when highlighting a game, then Move Game to No Section. Bummer you need to rescan the whole db to get a game back but still a very cool option to have.

OMG!!

Has anyone tried to use the new file manager? It seems unusable for almost any task. (BTW, what were you guys thinking when you assigned 'delete' to the B button? - Am I crazy or does that seem like quite a bad idea ?)
Also the new file manager doesn't seem to have anyway of copying directories etc..

The new update didn't fix the extra 'about' box on my menu (That doesn't function, activation says something about assigning it <from memory>)

The DVD player doesn't seem to play about half my movies(PAL)....

For those who have experienced duplicates in the listings, try waiting for all scanning etc. to cease first b4 selecting anything, clicking r-thumb gives you the info HUD (Would be good to be able to have it come-up as default, AND/OR option to disable user button presses before scanning of relevant folder has ceased)

Also: It would be super handy if in the game-context menu (wen u press Y on a game) somewhere it gave the full path (so you can see where it's picked said game up from) - if that makes sense :-)

Now that, that is off my chest: Thanx for the continuing support guys! ! ! Can't wait to get samba working....

Maybe it had added a 2nd folder - however now can't check the settings for obvious reasons I did get a few reboots out of the console initially and it kept the duplicates each time (was a fresh install initially of RC1.7 and updated to 1.8)

If only you were based in UK....I hadn't heard of that TR-360 heatsink until now......so it does add options, of paying someone to repair it again and also install one of them at the same time. I wonder what the cost of that will set me back......compared to buying a newer Jasper jtagged console.

I will of course hold of doing anything drastic to the 360 (like oven bakes etc) until decide for certain what to do next

Anyways....sorry for the offtopic

Reflow+Flux AND/OR (BGA repair+leaded solder) = A good start if it's had more than one RROD. Once you have the basis then get a TR-360/LegacywhisperMax or similar cooling solution. I'm still waiting for our guy who's done/doing all the different thermal variant mods for the 360 testing/benchmarking to publish his results (Or give them to me, so I might publish them) I know there are quite a few surprises in there. We are also looking for anyone who would be interested in benchmarking popular games on 95nm/65nm/45nm consoles using our temp plugin (yes we really are going to release it shortly, just waiting on those results)

Why wouldnt you set a constant fan speed on a jasper? My jasper has been set at 60-70% since the day I got it. The gpu/ram/cpu temps have never been higher than 50c. So (touching wood) will never rrod on me. I have messed around with the target temp settings but I found the sound of the fans stepping up and down distracting. Its funny how high the temp threshold is set as stock though, you never seem to see a stock console speed up its fans no matter how warm it gets.

Jaspers loose hardly any energy into heat, it's not worth it as the Auto keeps it very low anyway. There are more efficient ways to get it to run cooler like the 'fan-cutout-mod' (If ur not worried about kids sticking things into the back of it) or upgrading the fans/heatsink etc.

It works, and it works well. They've done a good job on the file manager, and yes it does copy directories.

This file manager was also on the previous release.

The extra about box is intentional I believe, it's the weather widget (I don't get an error when selecting it). FSD2 is WIP.

Cheers,

Good 2 know about the widget (I have it configured properly, it could be the update path I have taken)

I hadn't had need to use the file manager, I had noticed the new button assignments - It's strange that it doesn't seem that secondary functions are selectable having highlighted the item in question... The directory I wanted to copy was full of other directories and amounted to over 120gig

I stand by my B button comment tho, as many ppl use it to get them 'back' from causing damage if they've goten out of their depth (like my illiterate 5 yr old, who figures out wot stuff does by pressing buttons, usually if there's no pretty pictures,animations or games launching he just 'backs' out and no damage done, It does worry me a little now tho... Guess it's good it's not working fer the time being)

Thanx for letting me know anyway, I'm dreading doing a fresh install and having to download all teh artworx again...

Looks like we are going to need a new freeboot now/shortly as well.. Doh'


EDIT: Altho still incorrectly labeled, the weather tab/widget is working (Man that is soooo cool BTW - Watch now as M$ ripps it off!!)
File manager appears mostly functional as well, thinking it might have been due to testing with the kid's controller (RB doesn't work so good) Sorry...

B is the back button! If someone goes into the File Manager and just presses B it will go back to FSD2, it won't delete anything regardless of what is selected. It won't delete anything unless RB or LB is held down and even then, when you do try to delete something it will ask you to confirm before it deletes what is selected.

I've copied the entire contents of a 320GB USB drive to a 2TB Drive (connected via Sata). I also copied the contents of a 250GB official HDD to USB and then copied that back to the 2TB drive using FSD2 File Manager too.

By the sound of it you are having difficulties using it yourself, so I doubt your "illiterate 5 yr old" is going to be able to use it to delete stuff. The way they have it, it's not particully easy to accidently delete something. While they could make it harder to delete something, it would likely annoy people when they want to delete something.

The File Manager from 2 releases back was easier to use and simpiler for coping the odd file, but this one works much better for coping multiple files.

You also have to remember X is what you use to select multiple files/ folders to delete/move/copy and not A. I also found it useful that it can launch XBLA/ GOD as well as XeX files though the File Manager.

Clearly what you want is a kiddi-proof mode, you could do that by editing the Skin. You could even just try using an old skin from one of the previous releases, as most of the features won't work due to the changes.

Yes some1 else here is meant to be working on a kiddy-proof skin (he started a while ago - but I think he decided to wait for the formats/editors to settle a bit - which I guess they have)

I see the point that some1 has to pressing one of the bumper buttons (it was their<kids> controller that has bumper issues <chocolate methinks> so I'm not too worried at this point, and I do like the new system as it is far more powerful) ,it's just that ppl (kids in particualr) see the icon (eg fer LB and their instinct is to push it to figure-out what it's doing.... Never mind, I guess the confirmation diag covers repeated B pressing) It just seemed a little counter-intuitive I guess but it's growing on me.... I know others who have had 'issues' getting used to the highlight with X system, but that always made sense to me (handy too!)

I am officially wowed by the samba server and would strongly recommend anyone who hasn't seem it check it out! it Rocks! Can't wait to see some of the cool stuff that will *hopefully* arise here...
