madmon Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 Hey guys. So I'm working on a softmod and I wanted to try the dual boot with different dashes, and controlling the boots with eject and power. Any help would be much appreciated.

SS_Dave Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 I know you can do that with a modchip like Open Xenium,Xenium ICE,X3,X2.6,Xblast lite and proberly some other chips but I am not aware of a dual booting softmod Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

HDShadow Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) SID/AID have dual boot options and unless he removed it recently Rocky5's XBSMT included a dual boot install facility, I think on the Extras disc. Problem with SID/AID is that you're limited to only two dual boot options: main dash/installer dash and main dash/MS dash. It may be possible to edit the dual boot SID/AID options to launch something else but I've never even thought to try that. Dual boot is practically redundant when you can install any dash as an app and with UnleashX you also have the controller shortcut options too where you can assign any button to launch any XBE at boot. Obviously UnleashX has to load to a certain point first but there is really very little additional delay in launching the alternative dash or whatever.

The dual boot on the soft mod is designed for MS dash and the softmod dash. There was another thread recently which looked a possible work around in a reply by kaos enginner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was another thread recently which looked a possible work around in a reply by kaos enginner I actually figured out by using an app rocking put into his softmoding tools I can control which it boots to by holding a button on the controller. I wanted to try and set it up to boot to xbmc4gamers then unleashx while holding a different button. It seemed to have worked in the end. I was just curious if I could tie the command to the power and eject buttons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky5 Posted June 6, 2020 Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 You can, required you make a dual boot.settings file and add it to the root of E, run NKPatcher Settings > Dashboards > DualBoot you can then use the option to add your own dualboot path and enable it (dualboot.settings file is made using the source on GitHub, in the source folder > NKPatcher > NKP 11) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmon Posted June 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 thanks for the info Rocky. I did manage to get it working. I had to make a path E/alt dash/default.xbe(if memory serves me). Now I am having a small bug where the led is orange by default, is there a config file I can edit to change that if not it is not a huge issue, Its a friends xbox and hes adamant about being able to access the stock dash for his kid.

I'm curious why his kid would need the stock dash so bad lol. It can already be loaded as an app. Just create a shorcut xbe and aim it at the xboxdash.xbe on c:, place that shorctcut xbe file in a folder called MSDash in the Apps folder and your done. Thats gotta be much easier than messing about with a dual boot surely..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It changes it to orange after the softmod. That’s the default color but it can be changed. I haven’t done it in a while but I know it’s an option in the nkpatcher application that’s installed with the softmod. Edit: My bad. Just realized @Rocky5 already answered the question.

I’m assuming they’re wanting to run insignia otherwise why bother with the stock dash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the MS dash just needs to be installed as I can launch games from XBMC4Gamers and connect to Insignia without issues.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
