What you will need:
- Jtagged Xbox on 12611 Dashboard
- Microsoft HDD or External HDD
- Dashlaunch v2.21
- Freestyle Dash 2.0 RC1.8(Optional)
- WinRAR or 7Zip
Downloads:
Dashlaunch v2.21
Freestyle Dash 2.0 RC1.8 (Optional)
Tutorial:
Step 1:
Download the above files; Dashlaunch and Freestyle Dash(optional).
Step 2Optional)
Extract the Freestyle Dash files into a folder called Freestyle for convenience. Place this folder either on the Root of your external HDD or onto your xbox HDD with this path
Code:
Hdd:\Content\0000000000000000\Freestyle
Step 3:
Extract the Dashlaunch v2.21 files onto your Desktop or somewhere it can easily be accessed. It would be easiest to keep the files in a folder named Dashlaunch, or something similar.
Step 4:
Open the Dashlaunch folder and locate the sample_launch.ini file. Rename that file to launch.ini
Step 5:
Now open the launch.ini by double clicking it. By default, it should open in Notepad.
You should get some text that looks something like this:
Code:
[QuickLaunchButtons]
BUT_X = Usb:\Freestyle\FreestyleDash.xex
Default = Hdd:\Content\0000000000000000\C0DE9999\00080000\C0DE99990F586558
[Settings]
nxemini = true
pingpatch = true
You need to edit this to the path that you are going to use. Depending on the HDD that you are using, and where the .xex you want to launch is located, depends on what your text will look like.
If you are using an External HDD and following this tutorial closely, your line of code will be as follows:
Code:
Usb0:\Freestyle\default.xex
If you are using an Xbox HDD and following this tutorial closely, your line of code will be as follows:
Code:
Hdd:\Content\0000000000000000\Freestyle\default.xex
(Optional)
You can add multiple paths into this .ini file, adding extras such as BUT_X, which means that when booting up the console, if you hold the X button, it will follow that path.
Different launch.ini combinations

[Settings]
nxemini = true
pingpatch = true
Step 6:
Save the launch.ini file. Now copy the launch.ini and paste it into the Installer > Files Folder.
Step 7:
Now move the Dashlaunch folder onto your HDD, the location doesn't really matter, but the Root is the best place to put it.
Check Up:
Ok, so now you should have done the following steps.
- Extracted both .RAR files
- Put the Freestyle folder onto your HDD
- Located, renamed, edited and moved the launch.ini file so now it is in the Installer folder.
- And you have moved the dashlaunch and installer folder onto your HDD.
Step 8:
Now it's time to finally do something on your xbox. Plug in your HDD into the xbox and start up XEX Menu or Freestyle Dash. If you don't have XEX Menu, then you'll need to follow another tutorial on how to get it on your JTAG.
Now you want to locate the Installer folder that should be either in the Dashlaunch folder or on the Root of your HDD.
Now run the default.xex file in that follow and follow the onscreen instructions.
Step 9:
Your console should shut off and restart, if not turn it on yourself, and then should boot straight into Freestyle Dash and skip over the Kinect/NXE dashboard.
Congratulations, You have successfully installed Dashlaunch and Freestyle Dash onto your jtag.
Note: Keep the Freestyle Dash folder one word, ex. Freestyle, because for some reason Dashlaunch doesn't like spaces
