DualBoot for Flashed TSOPs

Post by Rocky5 »

As the title states, I put this together so we can get dual booting on TSOPed xbox's.

I done this for my own use, since I like to boot into XBMC4Kids mostly & saves me jumping through menus to load another dash.

OK, here is an update.
  1. Here are the changes I have made.
  2. Made the tray close just before alt dash loads.
  3. Made the LED blink Red for Tray open & Green for tray close.
  4. Changed some var names to make it easier for peeps.
  5. Moved the xbe paths to their own asm file. (you edit this file to change them.)
  6. Made a batch to build the source & sign it. (Build & Sign xbe.bat)
Yes, I no longer supply the xbe you build it yourself :D if you want to change dash locations you edit the "src\xbe paths.asm" with notepad & then build the xbe, doing it this way means its opensource (good thing) & also people can improve it if the want.

Download TSOP DualBoot src.zip

Happy Dual Booting & cheers for having a gander at my post.

Video of it booting.

You can use an app called "XSelect" to do this and it will give you a choice of up to 9 apps to boot from. Actually they can be virtually anything that has a .xbe file. You can get this XSelect from Eurasia. :D

Got that App couldn't work out how to use it lol terrible interface.

Also that requires a button press & if I were to softreset it would load that dash every time, I don't want that. I just want 1 dash on power & another on eject & this does that.

I tried TSOP splitting a long while ago for duel boot but required a switch and was risky. the button shortcuts are much better though, just take a little longer.
