<3 cOz

cOz many thanks for dashlaunch, and all the hard work!! You are the King of programmers .

But this is a SAD DAY. Now we must buy Xecuter Fusion...

Nobody will continue dashlaunch for free, as this is not easy at all(I am software engineer).

Without dashlaunch, no more boot automatically to FSD, disabling the ping limit on system link games, blocking access to live, or blocking systemupdates.

The last dashboard supported in dashluanch v2.32 is 14719, when games will start to arrive that need higher version of dashboard, we will have to choose between updating dashboard and lose dashlaunch capabilities, or not playing new games.

I hope that they will release the source to the DL like the good old days.

I am eternally grateful, and truly sorry, to see sterling efforts of this outstanding developer end... I tip my hat to you sir in respect, and may all your future endeavours blossom into the bounty's you clearly deserve.

From one, and probably many thousands of grateful (and silent) end-user(s).

Yeah it is a sad day. Amesome work cOz.
Did anyone try fakelive=true ?

Usually I'm very happy when there is a new release of dashlaunch, but not today...

Thanks for your hard work...c0z

Thanks for all your hard work over the years, cOz.

After this message my 360 sploded,lol
DL buried alive? Dig it out plz...

!!!THX cOz!!!

Fusion is a replacement kernel that runs on JTAG'd and Glitched boxes, nobody will be paying anything for it, it is 100% free, and will remain so.

With Fusion, Dashlaunch is simply no longer needed.

If you are going to make such claims, you should at least try and find out if there is any truth to them first, before presenting them as fact.

wait, coz is stopping dashlaunch development now, and the XeBuild team is giving up because of xecuter's fusion kernel announcement? guess FSD is dead in the water then too.

I can't see that as true - but interest may be so low that it isn't worth the bother.

Also coz is a great software developer, I think he enjoys the challenges with it.

I can't get fakelive = true to do anything with my live account. I didn't add the information to the xbox though (this prompt to add info pops up every time I log in to it, I always choose no).

Anyone get fakelive = true to do anything? Do you have to be on the latest dash? I'm still on 599.

EDIT: ok well it looks like in Mass Effect 3, that the game thinks I'm connected to live. It appears that if the EA servers where up, I could connect to them in game. Before fakelive=true, this of course wouldn't work at all.

Thanks for all your effort c0z. Your development has created a great experience for (dare I say, millions) of end-users. As always, the scene moves forward, but you are one of the many larger cogs that has kept the movement steadily churning towards today. Thank you.

fakelive = true

Get title update and try your XBLIG now! surprise surprise

Sorry, thank You for this nice info
Fusion compatibility with any jtag/rgh solution is realy news for me. Many people do not now that, as this was
not mentioned on team-xecuter site/forum.

What are you talking about? This doesn't affect xebuild or fsd - if you knew anything you'd know that some of the xecuter guys are active as staff in those irc channels and work alongside those teams. The Fusion kernel will work WITH those projects and enhance them. If you knew anything you'd see that they are testing DemoN with Fusion and FSD / RXE. Where do you people get your silly info from?

Xecuter even helped cOz by supplying him with hardware for him to work on his next big project, which he will now have lots of time to do.

Enough of the lame rumours and just enjoy - cOz hasn't gone anywhere - its just that dashlaunch is at the end of its life cycle - nothing more nothing less.

Even if EA servers are up, I don't think You could connect to them...
But I will be very happy If I am wrong .

Well, it will let me create an account...not sure. I wish there was just a little bit more info on what this does in application.

never read the NFO, was just going on this thread. Guess DashLaunch is done! thanks for the contribution coz. Hope the next challenge is just as rewarding!

Thanks again to cOz, Node21 and everyone else who has made homebrew on the xbox 360 what it is today! I thank you guys sincerely from the bottom of my heart.

You may not realise it, but you have contributed to improving the quality of lives for many people, including handicapped children who's parents may now be able to afford everything that comes with a retail kernel due to their added expenses and what-not. You tireless efforts have improved their lives and that of their parents. This is something I have witnessed first-hand. The way you guys kept adding features that added functionality(or removed it) which allow parents to tailor their console to their child's needs in ways that cannot be done with normal retail consoles (eg some kids have trouble handling discs etc..) It's truly amazing, and I salute you all!

It is a pity that some of us have used the wonderful opportunities to do silly things that invite the wrath of M$, but the next-time thinking about that gets you down or has you questioning your motives, I suggest you remember the others you have helped. Neural-Plasticity is an area which is as-yet relatively un-explored form a console-game standpoint, But I can tell you that the interactions etc.. Have a positive effect on kids who's brains fall outside the norm. I have seen some quiet kids who wont look you in the eye or talk to being very happy and interactive individuals and a large part of that is their use of a console that allows them to choose games to their liking and try them (try to do this for them is very difficult as you can't tell what they will like) Also many of these kids find reading difficult, and may not take well to the constant stream of dash updates, keeping them playing new games seems to be good for them, but they can find dash-updates overwhelming if they can't find their games. FSD and DL have given them the needed consistency for the to learn to recognize basic words etc..

Anyways, I'm even more busy these days (if that's possible) and wasn't sure when I might find another time to mention this, now seemed appropriate. Perhaps you guys can pass it on to other homebrew devs, as I may not get the chance to do it properly.

That may be true, but there is discussion over at the TX forums where one of the admins says a DemoN is required. Regardless, cOz does seem to strike a rather bitter tone in his readme:


Personally, I don't see why the release of a modified kernel has to mean the end of everything else. All restrictions have been removed already, and some of us don't care for custom boot logos and the like. I actually prefer my JTAG to appear as stock as possible, so I boot into NXE and rarely use FSD at all. The status quo has served me well.

I have also read it there... I Hope this not true.

SO? What is the outcome? What does this new, secret unfinished feature do when you start a XBLA game using a live account (when enabled)??

i think it might be a way to get apps like netflix working on rgh basically faking a live signin so you can use the app...gonna try it out tonight will report back

Have you ever tried to play a Xbox Live INDIE GAME without XboxLive?
Then u should know whats so special

You know that youtube is a XNA game right

Thanks for the release I also like the authors sense of humor.

I cant believe no one else saw it.

- if you think I'm quitting at 232 you're more retarded than you look

lol, totally missed that. Sneaky

Oh nice, that is hilarious. Who reads the entire changelog?

That's fuckin amazing.

Man i was hoping that fakelive would launch netflix,youtube, ect...... No go on my end though. Still launching indie games are sweet. Also seems like deja vu around here. Last time we had dev issues the scene died for a good minute. Either way im with CoZ all day. I will always be a grateful follower of his. Just like Node21 i appreciate everything they do regardless of how small and no amount of SCENE DRAMA will change that. So instead of fueling the drama how about we all put a plug in it? agreed?

P.S darkfiber you rock, That is all

Is there somewhere where we can post possible issues?



signnotice is not working properly for me:
If you set it to false (default), it still does not show achievments pop. It does fix the boot to dash issue even when you set this to false (so its like you have set this value to true)
So then i tried setting it to true and it now totally skips the pop up window when you sign in. But still it does not show any achievments pop.

So false or true im not getting any display of achievments when they pop.

singnotice has nothing to do with the bubble messages that pop up and tell you things. You might try messing with bootdelay and see if that is impacting those messages for you.. I know for me I only sometimes see the one that says "player signed in" at boot time, but always see achievement ones.


It does, but then the apps tell you that you need a gold account. I assume atm it's looking for a lobby like a multiplayer game would.

I found the reason. There is a new setting in the dash to hide pop ups. Turn that on and the achievments appear again when they pop.

Destination arcade works using fakelive. That is cool. Anyone know how to update it? its only shows games up to a certain date.

How do I get the title update? Everytime I try to start an XBLIG I get the dialog telling me I need to apply the available update.

You have to transfer it from your retail xbox. It's the XNA Title Launcher TU.

Thanks! For those interested the file is 584E07D2\000B0000\tu32000100_00000000

But still isn't working. I get the XBLIG screen and after that an error dialog: "This game has unexpectedly stopped working. Please try it again. If problems persist, please contact the creator of the game. Code 3"

Meh. I'm still having trouble understanding what 'fakelive = true' does.. could someone sum it up in a simple sentence ?

Just wanted to let you know that either fakelive or something else in dashlaunch 2.32 made my avatar editor not work and also ruined my savegames in forza 4 flashed back to 2.31 but didnt try with fakelive=false before doing that.

Always back up before you muck around with new features!

I feel vevy sad.If you set it to false (default), it still does not show achievments pop. It does fix the boot to dash issue even when you set this to false (so its like you have set this value to true)
