    Note, I don't really recommend using this app any more for much, as it didn't properly map files/re-inject them. I'd recommend my new app, Party Buffalo Drive Explorer which is intended for FATX-formatted files/thumb drives/hard drives (Xbox-Scene link: http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=723748, download: http://clkxu5.com/drivexplore/Party Buffalo Drive Explorer.exe)


    I decided to give this guy a topic here too, seeing as though people here will probably have more use for it as compared to some other websites (mainly because just about everyone in the 360 section has devs...)

    This is a tool intended for devkits, and it allows you to edit your xlaunch.fdf file (which is where all of the images and other files for the dev launcher are held, plus a few extra like the Xbox 360 logo for some reason...).

    Quite simple, just load your xlaunch.fdf file from your flash, edit the file you want to edit, and voila.

    Don't be an idiot and replace files with a different extension than the one you chose to overwrite it with.

    Shouts to gabe_k, _skitzo_, XeNoN.7, gamerfreak1727 (MUCH thanks to Gamer for helping me bug test. *He definitely helped me squash a LOT of bugs), KIWIDOGGIE, Doom.

    PS: *Overwriting a file in your NAND is always dangerous. *Be careful with what you overwrite, and always make backups...

    Enjoy.

    Edit: And yes, this is how the modifications such as these (link) were done. Not using this tool, but by modifying the same file.

    @Tyler
    What. From the first part, thanks. From the second part - what.

    @hl718
    yay. Someone should persuade Assembler to unban my old account (CLK Rebellion) now.

    @WTVR, good luck, I doubt he'll unban shit.


    Awesome app though, it really simplifies what was once a long and laborious task.

    Past times (except once) that I have been banned I was following the rules, but that sounds good.

    Sure thing!

    Updated link in the OP - fixed a few bugs and added a few different options in the Settings menu to auto-switch to the image viewer when you select an image, another annoying bug that would happen when you switched from the image viewer back to the XLAUNCH tab, and added an option to resize the images.

    Oh, by the way - someone should try replacing the bg_image_blue.png with some 1280x720 JPEG, see what happens... I'm trying to figure out if the console will get confused, or if it will still load the image (I noticed there were no JPEG's in the xlaunch file)

    Another update rolling out in the next few days...

    I noticed that in my most recent update I fucked up the program recognizing if a file was going to bump in to the next file's offset, so take note of file sizes...

    The next update will totally throw away that problem though since I'm just going to make it increase the file size (if this is not a problem) and shift the corresponding files forward 0xX bytes, re-write the ints for calculating the offsets, and voila. It should work just fine if all goes as planned.
