did post this in the progress thread...but makes more sense to be here
Awesome stuff.
So does the alpha still have most features disabled like their original plans were a few weeks back?
Most importantly for me...does it allow you to update game info artwork and trailers from the internet (here's hoping)

at the moment you can download the info and artwork from the internet but it looks like the trailers and screenshots are disabled for this build.

how can i report bugs
seems to me that:
http://bugs.teamfsd.com/index.php is not working properly
whenever i click on report bug, it asks me to select a product, edition and build
but there is nothing to select.....
BUG FOUND (typo): in the Nand Flasher 360 tab, it says write only vaild Data.......quite obvious its valid
Stubberzz
Jul 19 2010, 07:27 PM
yeh i wasn't too sure about that either...
[BUG] file manager, down the bottom says "exit scene" should just be "exit".

Jul 19 2010, 07:30 PM
@Midnight Tboy: It looks like most features are disabled, yes.
I haven't been able to get FSD itself to see my GOD containers or other games. and it's hard freezing whenever I try to view saves or Xbox Originals. I don't know what's causing this and am still troubleshooting those problems. Never mind. Stubberzz corrected me. It was a simple mistake.
Midnight Tboy
Jul 19 2010, 07:51 PM
oh well....at least if it still downloads artwork and box cover that is still a good thing.
I hope it can also handle multiple usb drives (with the XML stored on the main 360 hdd) properly.
As on the older FSD, I have 2 main xbox usb hdd's loaded with games. If I have it set correctly with artwork etc for one hdd, but when I swap the hdd over, it loses all the main dvd cover info.
The info and pictures are still physically on the main hdd...but its like the xml has got confused at what to look for. But oddly preview files and the background artwork still displays...just no cover nor screenshots. And of course when I put the previous USB drive back it is still messed up and the only way to get it displaying properly is to resave the XML with fsdindexer
Aldanga
Jul 19 2010, 08:07 PM
Only 3 of the games on my HDD are showing up. RE5 and MW2, along with others, don't show up in the games list. Anybody else having this problem? I'm befuddled.
jrx09
Jul 19 2010, 08:11 PM
Yeah I'm having problems where it will only show a couple of games from my internal HDD in the Xbox 360 games tab; not the ones on my USB or even all the ones on my internal HDD. Then if I exit the games tab and re-enter it suddenly they all appear. Then I play a game, come back to FSD and boom, they've disappeared again...
XBLA games show up fine consistently.

Is the fan speed control disabled in this release as a lot of us feared? Does it work on XBR3 or does it require freeboot.
Will look forward to seeing a dashlaunch version for this.
Aldanga
Jul 19 2010, 08:18 PM
Fan speed control is presently disabled. I can't test XBR as all my boxes are freeBOOT, but I don't suspect it's enabled on any dash.

Jul 19 2010, 08:44 PM
It can see my games fine but for some reason it kept putting "Bioshock 2, Call Of Duty 4, Halo 3: ODST, Mirror's Edge" in the homebrew folder I had to edit the fsd2content.xml file myself to get them to post in the games folder. Only other thing I notice is I don't have the status bar.

to get fan at 100% i have to go to FSD 1.20 then into 2.0. that way works...
but.. i would like this in 2.0

temperatures rising a lot in FSD 2.0 just sitting idle on the dash.
you can check by pressing the back button.
maybe its just me?

Jul 19 2010, 09:02 PM
i also dont see the statusbar (no rss, no ip, no temps, no hdd info, no contantscanning info....)
anyone knows what formats the video and audioplayer support ?
does the video / audio contant have to be in a specific folder?
editing hdd1\launch.ini with ftp causes fsd2 to post a crash message and does not change/update the file
atm FSD 1.20 is better (covers,videos,fansettings,better skins)
i hope someone soon makes a cool skin, FSD1.20 aqauatica still my favortiy (the "Sexy" skin was also cool but have no version for 1.20)
that nxe skin is really ugly (at least better than MS orig NXE...)

here i have average more 6ºC in each hardware because fan speed is disabled, i use always 100%
thats ok, this is for testing only, not to use day by day i guess
at least not yet

I used the old fantools with patcher to flash my speed back, works just fine with fsd2. Got fsd2 set to auto launch with dashlaunch I'm all set, I really like the new skinning options and all.

It seems FSD 2.0 shows up on your gamertag as a game. I hope this gets changed in a future update.

Thats odd they didnt pt the fan speed into the alpha. Its a very important thing to alot of people with older xbox like myself (who is actually fixing 3rrod on his machine right now >_> )

That might happen if you patched the games, they will read as devkit. You can prevent this manuall editing
by setting <path retail='360' devkit='360'>hdd1:\whatever</path>
you will have to delete the fsd2content.xml to let it rescan.

oh well had a chance to put this on, seamed good set my locale to en-UK but I dont get any cover art etc for my games etc. Maybe it needs different areas setting.
I just made a quickboot shortcut for this but I dont have the fsd png icon does anyone have it someplace?
last of all has anyone tried to use this with dash launch yet?
carlitoB
Jul 19 2010, 10:22 PM
seems to have major problems listing things for me too. i am currently autosorting. going to try forcing all folders and see if it makes a difference. i currently have 321 arcade games and a few are definately not showing up. eg trials hd. emulators get autosorted to homebrew but obviously thats why the example is there for editing your fsd2content.xml. is there a path to enter for videos? i cant get mine to show yet.
QUOTE(Drefsab @ Jul 19 2010, 10:17 PM)

yeah, change your launch.ini to direct to the correct folder. seems to be too many problems for me so far though, going to change back to 1.20 until im happy with 2.0

On first launch of FSD2 it asks you whether you want to save to HDD or USB, and further adds that if you save to HDD you have to use the content indexer over FTP.
Does this method use a program like FSD 1.2 that just hasnt been included yet? Or is there another method of getting covers etc over FTP that I'm missing?

Thanks Team FSD for releasing the Alpha for us to all try out. Obviously this is just for testing purposes and no one should even consider using this as a replacement dash until it goes beta at the very least.
Again, this is an alpha guys.. you will find issues and bugs. I used it for 5 minutes and messed up the custom dash to have just black letters on a black background.
It's fantastic to see the potential that this dash will have when finished. Very impressed!

Don't use the same tag for your live machine as your Jtag - sorted

Until this is changed I'm not using it, nor donating anymore. I understand you worked hard to release this program, but some of us have 2 consoles and enjoy acquiring achievements and avatar awards on both.
Maybe you don't understand why we care, but this will make a lot of people angry. I'm very disappointed at this choice. I'd go as far as to PAY for a version without this 'feature'
I'm not sure of the motive in this choice, but I'm sure I speak for the community when I say this is very big letdown.

DimmuJed your not the only one ive seen talking about this.. so you use the same gamertag on both ur jtag and the live xbox.. how is it that your jtag has not been banned? obviously for your achievements to show up from your jtag to your live xbox or visa versa your jtag has to log into xbox live.. does getting banned not block you from just signing in from a banned xbox (ie.. to just update achievements)
or do you just have your profile on a thumb drive you swap back and forth?

This. The JTAG box is never on Live, but the profile is moved to a Live console. Achievements earned on the JTAG transfer normally.
Aldanga
Jul 19 2010, 11:00 PM
I keep my profile on a memory card for convenience's sake, so when I use it offline on another box (at a friend's house or whatever), I just plug it into my LIVE box and update my GS that way.

Jul 19 2010, 11:04 PM
I also hold my profile on a memory unit so I can take it about with me when at anyones house.
Would also agree to pay for a version that did not show up in the accounts game history.
Presume this is the same kind of deal as when that Snes emulator came out around new year? Anyone know if anyones ever actually had a profile ban yet from purely using the emulator on a jtag then connecting it to Live on an unmodded box?

Jul 19 2010, 11:06 PM
lol, edit your fsd2config.xml to read
<display horizoverscan='0' vertoverscan='15' horizdisplacement='0' vertdisplacement='0'/>
or whatever, or just edit it on settings on dashboard. simples.

The scan keeps crashing when it hits Lego Indy 2 on my setup. Does FSD generate a log file or anything to help find out what is causing the crash?
found the log file, here's what it says:

have you ever donated before then, i dont think so?
it was not a concious choise, just a side effect of building a proper xex, so dont have this attitude.
I too use my memcard with live profiles on both xboxes, you can always do like
me and NOT auto-signin at boot but wait till you launch a game.

Well then it's a bug, not a "feature". And it's the fact that they're saying this won't change in final build that's pissing people off. A lot of players out there enjoy playing for achievements, and by having FSD show up in their gamertag history is definitely something that should be fixed, or at the very least release two versions of the thing and give us a choice.

That works for offline profiles, but not LIVE profiles. You must be signed into LIVE to delete a game from an Xbox LIVE account.
