mabhz 0 Posted December 5, 2013 Hi all. For the last couple of days I have been trying to find this information on this forum and other forums, and still can. Ok, can me dumb, stupid, noob, blind or anything you want, but could someone please help me find the files to backup on DashLaunch and Freestyle? Which ones should I backup and where is DashLaunch located??? Since my RGH boots to FSD, it MUST have some version of DashLaunch installed, but I can't find it in the mess of folders that is my RGH internal HDD. I followed a few tutorials online to identify DashLaunch version or where it is located, and the only thing I archive is a black screen, a frozen console or both!!!! I already found nice friendy tutorials to update the console to the latest dash, but this specific tutorial stands out because its almost 100% automated by batch files (.bat): http://www.xpgamesaves.com/topic/81690-tutupdate-your-rgh-jtag-to-dash-16537-in-1-minute-no-flash-drive-or-file-transfers-needed/ is it reliable?? Anyone ever tried this? Is there any risk of damaging my RGH if I follow this procedure?? Again I apologize for my stupidity and thank you all in advance.

Swizzy 2083 Posted December 5, 2013 Dashlaunch itself is installed in the nand (flash:launch.xex and flash:lhelper.xex) the settings is what you will want to make a backup of (launch.ini) FSD can be located anywhere, common paths are: hdd1:AppsF3 hdd1:Freestyle Hdd1:FSD I personally would recommend doing it the manual way ( http://xebuildtut.xeupd.com ) there's always a risk doing anything with your RGH... the risks are smaller if you make sure you read correctly and only use reliable sources (this forum is one such place, don't just go with whatever the first person tell you tho, might not be someone worth trusting) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
datastream 101 Posted December 6, 2013 I wouldn't trust that "Swizzy" guy.... lol.... You should be able to FTP in and then you'll find the folders that you require mate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swizzy 2083 Posted December 7, 2013 I wouldn't trust that "Swizzy" guy.... lol....You're not funny i'm just saying that it's better to get similar answers from more then just 1 guy before doing things... there are far to many idiots out there that thinks they know everything, and thus will try to teach others how to do things... except, what they say is completly wrong...There are of course ppl that do know what they're talking about, but... for everyone that knows what they're talking about there's also someone that don't...

mabhz 0 Posted December 8, 2013 Folks, thank you both for all the help. I managed (I think!!!) to update my Dash Launch 3.04 to 3.10 by putting the 3.10 files on a USB stick and selecting default.xex inside UPDATE folder using FSD file manager. There was a prompt msg asking if I wanted to update the files to the new version and I did. Then I copied the files to the "Dash Launch 3.04" folder that was on the HDD. But now, if I try to open DashLaunch by clicking on the same default.xex inside UPDATE folder located on my HDD, I get a 3.04 version written on top of DashLaunch (is there any other way to launch DashLaunch settings panel??). If I click on the same file, but this time inside the update Folder locates on the USB stick, I get a version 3.10!!!! What is the problem here????

mabhz 0 Posted December 9, 2013 Nope, I already overwrote all the contents of the 3.04 folder with 3.10 files, but when I click on the install default.xex I get the 304 instead kd the 3.10! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
