============================================================ Launch up to 8 apps by holding a controller button during boot. (More or less a proof of concept hack.) ============================================================ The built-in ftp server will not function with this BIOS because I ripped it out and replaced it with the launcher app. Howver, I have included the FTP server as an XBE file. If you add it to your boot.txt file you should probably put it on line one, because if the A button isn't pressed when it launches it will imediately try to boot a dash. ============================================================ I've flashed this BIOS to my TSOP and tested it pretty extensively. I can't guarantee, however, that it will work on your box. Use with caution! How: Make a text file named boot.txt (see example which should have been included in the archive). Put the full pathnames to the apps you want to have available on individual lines in boot.txt. Example line: e:\Apps\MXM\default.xbe Do not leave any blank lines between apps listed in boot.txt. You can have less than 8 lines. You can also use more, but anything past line 8 will be ignored. Place boot.txt in the root directory of your C: partition. (Harddisk0\\Partition2) The apps will be launched when a button is held during boot according to the order listed in in boot.txt. Line 1 - A Button Line 2 - B Button Line 3 - X Button Line 4 - Y Button Line 5 - Black Button Line 6 - White Button Line 7 - Left Trigger Line 8 - Right Trigger If the app isn't found or none of the above buttons were held during boot, dashboard apps will be searched for in the following order: c:\\evoxdash.xbe c:\\avadash.xbe c:\\mxmdash.xbe c:\\xboxdash.xbe e:\\evoxdash.xbe e:\\avadash.xbe e:\\mxmdash.xbe e:\\xboxdash.xbe f:\\evoxdash.xbe f:\\avadash.xbe f:\\mxmdash.xbe f:\\xboxdash.xbe ============================================================ Notes Quitting an app launched through this BIOS does seem to work (I got a hang once, but I'm not sure why) and you can use the buttons again to determine the next app to launch. IGR seems to work and you can hold a button after the machine resets to launch another app. ============================================================ This BIOS is based on Team X-ecuter's embedded app 4978 BIOS ============================================================ History Fixed hang when no controllers were present. Zeroed out dead data. -NghtShd
