Swizzy's xeBuild GUI Version 1.1
---------------------------------
****** If you find a bug, let me know! you can reach me on: admin@swizzy.se ******
****** NOTE: I did NOT create xeBuild! i merely made a frontend/gui for it! ******
======================================================================
Requirements - What you need to do have in order for this to work!
======================================================================
- Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 or later
- Your CPUKey
- A dump of your nand
======================================================================
Overview - What it does
======================================================================
- This is a frontend/GUI for xeBuild, what it does is make it easy
for you to select most options that you might need, such as Motherboard,
SMC hack for freeboot, image type etc. etc.
- It is able to check what SMC hack you have previously used for JTAG
it's also able to tell you what SMC version you have, and if it's a
JTAG, Clean/Retail, Glitch or Cygnos patched SMC
- If you put any of these files next to the executable it'll use them
automaticly:
SMC.bin - Custom SMC of your choice; ONLY USE THIS OF YOU KNOW WHAT
YOU ARE DOING!!!!
Xell.bin - Custom Xell of your choice; ONLY USE THIS OF YOU KNOW WHAT
YOU ARE DOING!!!!
cpukey.txt - It'll read the first line of this file as CPUKey
flashdmp.bin - It'll load this as source nand ;)
Default.xml - It'll load any preset settings from this file ;)
options.ini - It'll load any custom settings from this (for xeBuild)
launch.ini - Settings for Dashlaunch, if you choose to use this setting
it'll include this file in the built image ;)
======================================================================
Notes about building retail images
======================================================================
Retail images can be built using this gui, it includes common retail
SMC's i've extracted myself, i make no form of garantuee that these
are safe to use for your console, some machines might not like the
bootloaders etc. which are used by default...
======================================================================
Notes about LDV
======================================================================
There are 3 ways you can get your LDV value:
1. Use Xell and manually count the ammount of "f" on fusesets
07 and 08, the total here is your LDV value.
2. Use Xell and a network connection, doing this the app can
read fusesets for you and read cpukey aswell as check what ldv your
Xbox 360 should have automaticly for you (this option also sets both)
3. Use 360 Flash Dump Tool and check which value is the highest, this
is the one you will want to be using
Normally (if you have a good dump that does NOT include data from
.ECC file created using RGH python script) xeBuild should be able
to extract this value on it's own, if it can't just follow the
instructions above... if you don't understand these instructions,
ask google!
======================================================================
Notes about FCRT patches
======================================================================
This patch removes the need for FCRT.bin in nand, however, it will
NOT work for everyone, it's been enabled in the default configuration,
but should be disabled if you are using a machine with a Liteon DG16-D5S
FW: 1175, it's been confirmed by me that it doesn't work on these drives
all others i've tested has worked just fine, however it can still be a
problem for you to have this activated, disable it if games don't work
from discs (if you use this feature!)

Changelog - New features and bug fixes
======================================================================
**************
* KNOWN BUGS *
**************
*******
* 1.1 *
*******
- Added: Function to prepare a USB memory stick for updating your console with the AVATAR support
(Update downloader)
- Fixed: Copying of Cygnos360 V2 SMC now works...
- Fixed: Some Xenon SMC's didn't show previous hack properly... works now :D
- Fixed: Sometimes the app will recognise your SMC as Cygnos whiles it's JTAG, the app will now
show you it's JTAG if it can see that it's JTAG patched aswell instead of fooling you by saying
it's a cygnos 360 patch...
- Changed: The app no longer asks if you want to clear the log after autosaving, instead it asks
if you want to Close the app, Clear the log or just leave the way it is
- Added: Reading cpukey/ldv from fuse.txt or downloading it from xell now also saves both CPUKey and
DVDKey (if available) to keys.txt
********
* 1.0b *
********
- Fixed: XP Compatibilty issues causing the app to crash as it can't find the files it requires due
to XP beeing generally gay when it comes to directory shit >_< (i thought i had found all of them, but
apparently some little buggers passed by me prior to release :(
- Fixed: Already open windows will not automaticly be brought to the front so you can see them
- Fixed: Selecting Glitch/Trinity then selecing JTAG/Xenon will no longer cause the Xell section to be
de-selected randomly
- Added: Failsafes in custom options, you can no longer set your MAX temp lower then your
running temperatures! and you can also not set max/running temp without setting the other option
aswell...
- Added: Check if you have selected the same Xell/Dualboot button twice (excludes not setting it of course)

- Anyone else that has helped me with anything such as tests, bug finding
and such that is not mentioned above, THANK YOU! without testers this app
would be pretty much useless compared to the other GUI versions out there ;)
