So I made up a script for raincoat from linux to flash multiple flash files selectable via emulated keyboard presses using xboxdrv and a game controller (including non microsoft ones.
I made the script init the xbox from a ram block loop device then read a user modifiable script off a fat x partition ignoring the execute bit.
the game controller also can be customised as it will read the config file of the fatx partition and you basically have the option to do any thing you want or extend it with out opening up the initrd block device.
So the code below is all three parts jammed together.
One would just need to get the package for xboxdrv and kill the xpad driver and build an image of their fav distro and then could have a customised shell based flash tool boot from an xbox partition and flash any thing with ease without ftp telnet or messing with bios files in the udata dir on e.
It is setup to load config files off of e:\ apps\flash folder
[update] it works now i just need to find a better distro to install it into as the current one i have is missing libusb, sudo, stat and a few other things i need as part of the script.
linuxrc script in root of package
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
# linuxrc startup script inital script to setup flash enviroment and
# handle control over to second stage
