Example files

Every file the install guide uses, with where it goes. Download a file, change the values the notes name, and copy it to the console or the server.

Where the files go

With all three projects installed, the console’s USB drive (the one DashLaunch reads launch.ini from) holds:

DirectoryUsb:\
- launch.ini DashLaunch’s settings, see launch.ini
- NetUsb360.xex from part 1, only with a USB network adapter
- NetISO.xex from ConsoleMods’ NetISO kit
- NetISO.xex.txt the server’s address, see NetISO.xex.txt
- NetIsoTiles.xex
- NetIsoTiles.ini optional, see NetIsoTiles.ini

FastFTP360 is an app in its own folder on the hard drive, for example:

DirectoryHdd1:\
- DirectoryApps
  - DirectoryFastFTP360
    FastFTP360.xex
    FastFTP360.ini optional, see FastFTP360.ini

launch.ini

DashLaunch’s launch.ini holds its other settings too, so don’t replace it: open it and set these lines, and leave the rest of the file as it is. Default is where your Aurora is; it makes the console boot straight into it. DashLaunch loads at most 5 plugins.

[Paths]
Default = Hdd:\Apps\Aurora\Aurora.xex

[Plugins]
plugin1 = Usb:\NetUsb360.xex
plugin2 = Usb:\NetISO.xex
plugin3 = Usb:\NetIsoTiles.xex

NetUsb360 is plugin1, so it loads first. FastFTP360 isn’t in launch.ini: it’s an app you start from Aurora.

[Paths]
Default = Hdd:\Apps\Aurora\Aurora.xex

[Plugins]
plugin1 = Usb:\NetISO.xex
plugin2 = Usb:\NetIsoTiles.xex

Without a USB network adapter, leave out the NetUsb360.xex line and number the others from plugin1.

[Paths]
Default = Hdd:\Apps\Aurora\Aurora.xex

[Plugins]
plugin1 = Usb:\NetUsb360.xex
plugin2 = Usb:\NetISO.xex
plugin3 = Usb:\NetIsoTiles.xex
plugin4 = Hdd:\Plugins\xbdm.xex

Other plugins you load, such as xbdm.xex, go after NetUsb360 and NetDisc360’s plugins. Use the path where your plugin is.

If you put NetUsb360.xex somewhere else, such as Hdd:\Plugins\, use that path. With RGLoader instead of DashLaunch, make NetUsb360 the first plugin entry in rgloader.ini.

NetISO.xex.txt

Tells the NetISO plugin where the NetDisc360 server is: one line with the IP address of the PC or NAS that runs it. The server’s dashboard shows this address. Put your server’s address in place of 192.168.1.20.

Goes: on the root of the USB drive, next to NetISO.xex. Used in: 2. Install NetDisc360.

192.168.1.20

Download NetISO.xex.txt

NetIsoTiles.ini

Optional. Has NetISO ask for 256 KB at a time and gives its connection a 64 KB receive buffer, so games load faster: about 26 MB/s with a TP-Link UE306 adapter and NetUsb360, where NetISO on its own manages about 7 MB/s. Reboot the console after adding it.

Goes: on the root of the USB drive, next to the plugins (or on the root of Hdd1:; the USB drive’s is used if both are there). Used in: Load games faster.

read_kb=256
rcv_kb=64

Download NetIsoTiles.ini

FastFTP360.ini

Optional. FastFTP360’s login. This one has the default, xboxftp / xboxftp: change user and password to your own, or set login=off so any user name and password work. Missing or invalid lines keep the defaults. You can also set the login on the Xbox with Y on the FTP server tab, which saves this file for you.

Goes: next to FastFTP360.xex. Used in: 3. Install FastFTP360.

login=on
user=xboxftp
password=xboxftp

Download FastFTP360.ini

docker-compose.yml

Runs the NetDisc360 server in Docker on Linux or a NAS. Put the folder with your games in place of ./games, and a password for the dashboard in NETDISC_WEB_PASSWORD. The comments in the file explain the rest. It is the same file as in the NetDisc360 repository.

Goes: in a folder of its own on the machine that runs Docker; start it there with docker compose up -d. Used in: On your PC or NAS.
