Looks like it's going to take a little work and a bit of reading for mapped drives and shares on the network....coffee time!

What is connectx?

Connectx is a plugin for Freestyle Dash 2.2 that will allow you to boot/play games off of
samba shares on a remote PC via network.

How to use:
First you must aquire connectx.xex from a devkit unit flash. (Version must be 2.0.20353.0)

*Due to legal reasons we can not provide you this file, please do not ask us for it.

Then you will need to apply the included patch (connectx_patch.xexp in the \Freestle Dash\Plugins folder of FSD) to the connectx.xex using Xextool 6.3

To do this use the following command:
xextool -p connectx_patch.xexp connectx.xex

(This will overwrite the orginal unpatched connectx.xex file so make a backup first.)

Afterwards, placed the patched conectx.xex in the \Freestle Dash\Plugins folder.
and cold reboot your Xbox 360.

Next go to the Settings menu -> System settings -> Plugins.
It should say Connectx Plugin is Loaded.

Then, enter your share information and username password.
Your shares need to be standard windows/samba shares.

Next, cold reboot your Xbox 360 again.

Once you have done that you should now see ConX: in filemanger.

Now you can manage files from the ConX: share via filemanager or add a path via path manager like you normally would for a local device.

The games will then appear in your game list like any other, and will be playable just like it was being loaded off
of USB/HDD.

Please keep in mind though the load times will likely be higher based on your network's performance.



Where do we get the devikit thingy mabob from then?...lol

Have sent you a PM regarding the "thingy mabob"
It's available via google and apparently it's already patched.

Quite a few crashes with this so far.....

Just working on the share, can get it to run the plug-in and connect to the pc.....but for getting to the menu in file manager I'm struggling on that a little......for now..lol

Looks wicked that! where do i get it from?

EDIT : I've gone back to the old skool dashboard there was as i just get constant crashes using the new one.......over to you?



(i think when i installed the new one i re-run installer, and now i get the odd crash on the old dashboard) just checking to see what could be causing it...)

 

[maddogs]

There is now a 2.2 hotfix out to fix some bugs in the intial 2.2 release.

 

[dibbers]

I'm not sure i wanna risk it like, got a bit nerve racking when the old FSD started to play up like....and might just wait for RXE....

Another release

FreeStyleDash v2.2 Build 692 'Final'

 

[dibbers]

cool. Is it available via the update system on FSD or is it a download that you have to FTP over again? i know it tells you that you need to remove it (the orginal version) and then install the new version but i just downloaded it from FSD when i got notified of the update.

 

[c3po]

I've just been using the built in FSD notifications.

I must say, it's quite stable atm.
