Stream Xbox 360 games over a network (SMB) to an Jtag / RGH360 running Freestyle Dash

According to the DEV's it will *probably* not be improved basically making the plugin useless:

This makes me extremely disappointed, but it was cool while it lasted.

 

That version has a crash bug, and needs to be updated through there site or the auto-updater.

 

i have a jtag with the latest FSD, but must i have a jtag RGH360 in order to stream games? lastly, can you show me a display of how you have your launch.ini. configured? i am asking becuase don't you have to set the destination of where the two plugins when configuring the launch.ini?

 

Hi,

I can't believe you can use the connectX plugin at 60mbps, you are very lucky guy !


I did some test yesterday on Windows seven with a 1Gbits Ethernet card & 1Gbits switch
(same result with a 100mbits switch) with FSD2.2 last version on Forza 2 (this game don’t working on ConX

On the windows task manager I can see an average speed at 10% of the maxi bandwidth.

The xbox 360 have a 100Mbits Ethernet card but this plugins is not powerful, it’s running around 10mbits => less 2MB/s !!!
So many games cannot be run correctly with this limitation.

We need a new one !

Another Issue, many people cannot use it with some NAS server (perhaps all ?). I am using the Iomega ix2-200 NAS, it’s working well with smb: but not with conX:
I can see my share folder but all his contain is empty.
I think It’s not a permission right access Issue but something is not managed correctly with the file attribute something like that.
it’s why connectX can see the files. (no Issue with Windows seven or XP)

If somebody success with an IOMEGA NAS server, I will like to know how is possible !

Thank for your help,
Regards

 

Sorry I didn't understand the connectX plugin was working better with the old FSD version.
I will try with the version you linked to in the tutorial above.

Just a question did you success to run Forza 2 perfectly with your config ?

and is it possible to use a NAS with it ? I don't understand why it's working with the Windows filesystem
and is failling with my IOMEGA NAS.

Thank for your answer.

On IOMEGA NAS you need to enable the security first (creat Admin account) for sharing something.
Creat a share folder and give RO or R/W access to some users or groups.
With smb: it's working fine, FSD ask me to type login and password on first access but with ConX: only the root share folder is visible, nothing inside

I tried with the old version like you FSD v2.2 release 625 (for your information there are 3 different release with the same version 625)
but always same bad result, Forza 2 crash all the time.

On your snapshot I can see a 1gigabit connection on the task manager, but I think it's not 100% correct.

You have 1gigabit from your pc to the switch but after the switch you have only 100 mbits, it mean you have 100mbits all the time.
I did another test, I tried to copy some files with supercopier2 over samba (PC to XBOX Hdd1), the speed rate never exceed 10mbits on the task manager
with my 100mbit switch.

It's a pity ! there is really a limitation speed at 2mo/s

 

I did some test on the latest version and with the old version release 695
but for me I saw no amelioration.
For Forza 2, the game crash on the video presentation just before to press the start button
and the old version crash before the video presentation.
On the task manager the speed transfer seem to be same (the two graphic are identical)
I hope they will deliver a new hot fix not so late !

 

I have JTAG Zephyr on 13599
it keeps saying "ConnectX Plugin Not Loaded."
is there some news about it?
thx %)

Hi guys! i have this pproblem, when i try to patch connectx! Connectx_patch.xexp is not correct file for connectx.xex
any idea please?

 

Hi,

I'm having difficulties trying to make my xbox access my shared folder. I can access my folders in other computers and I can even access my xbox from my computer, but i can't make ConX appear.

I'm using FSD 3.0 Rev735 that already bring ConnectX plugin installed.
In Settings there is an options called "Plugin Settings", and in there, are 3 options: "Status"; "F3Plugin" and "Connectx". In the Status options I could see the status of FSD Plugin and ConnectX. ConnectX wasn't loaded, so I add to my launch.ini file the line Hdd1:\connectx.xex (don't know why, but my hdd is hdd1), and also add the file for the Connect X Plugin in the root of my hdd. Anyway now the Connext apears as loaded in the status, (and my xbox takes a lot more time to start and load FSD). But still I don't have the folder ConX.

Another thing is that in my shared folder options, it appears two people: 'Administrators', that have permission level "owner" and my user name that has permission level as "read/write". I have tried both with my user name and Administrators and I can't access m computer shared folder .

 

can someone please help me out? (sorry for my english i am dutch)
