[Dark Sith]

i just cant get the game pics / preview movies to play , i can select the game but its just like browsing with out any pic of that game been displayed or any sort of animation being played line on you tube videos .

pls explain how i should do this , free style dashboard latest verision is on the external hdd and games are there . i can manually slect the game and play it but dong get any art work / animation / video preview etc .

 

[TheGoldenTouch]

you can't manually insert pics, i have found this method but i think you have to ftp your 360 with pc.

plug your external hard drive into the pc. there's a folder called FSD indexer. click on the program in that folder and select your ext hard drive from the drop down menu in usb options. click ok. then select get data for all games and it will download them. make sure to press save content.xml when it is finished then exit and the icons should load up next time you start.

FSD indexer is in your Freestyle Dashboard folder.

Freestyle dash is another awesome advantage of Jtag, It's just the kernel problem....

 

[ahmadka]

Hey, is the JTag thing currently only available for Xenon's .. ? I can't find any Falcon's/Jasper's on eBay which say they are JTag compatible ..

 

[Gizmo]

^^CT has a Jtagged Falcon,TheGoldenTouch has a Jtagged Jasper so yeah, all 360's with a compatible kernel are Jtaggable.

 

[wAnxTa]
