- isoMenu system
- Fixed Hitachi 78/79 & XGD3
- Fixed Samsung & XGD3 (thanks to morph0 and others)
- Increased AP25 failure grace period
- Implemented MenuIso menu system

About IsoMenu
----------------------
IsoMenu implements a MixedMedia style menu system. XKey generates a virtual ISO in memory that represents the USB Mass Storage devices attached to your XKey.

To Use
-Enable IsoMenu (see xkey.cfg below)
-Start your system as normal
-Once the Dash is on screen and HDD(s) have been recognised, eject the empty DVD drive. XKey will autoload the IsoMenu
-You may then use the XBox in Dash browser to navigate to the desired ISO. This is currently found under 'Video Library', 'Current Disc'.
-Once desired ISO is selected you will see 'ISO Selected, open tray to proceed'
-Eject the IsoMenu. XKey will autoload the desired ISO

Returning to the IsoMenu
-Eject the current game ISO. XKey will autoload the IsoMenu

Note:
You may select more than one game using the IsoMenu but it is the last game selected that will be autoloaded. XKey detects the user selections by observing which sectors are read from the IsoMenu by the XBox.The Xbox is caching data read from XKey the first time a directory is selected. The data is not reread if a directory is subsequently reselected.

This means that once a game has been selected it cannot be reselected. You can see this with a simple test:

Select Game A
Select Game B
Eject IsoMenu => Game B loads

Select Game A
Select Game B
Select Game A
Eject IsoMenu => Game B loads

Warning:
Unplugging USB Mass Storage devices while the IsoMenu is running or loading the IsoMenu while plugging Mass Storage devices may give unpredictable results

xkey.cfg
------------
The xkey.cfg file is used to configure current and future XK feature, it is copied from a USB Mass Storage device to internal SD in much the same way as updates are copied. An update and change in xkey.cfg can be combined by placing all three files in the root of a USB Mass Storage device.

The IsoMenu is controlled from xkey.cfg. To enable the IsoMenu create an xkey.cfg file in the root of your USB Mass Storage device, inside the xkey.cfg file add the line

MENUISO=Y

To enable the IsoMenu OR

MENUISO=N

To disable the IsoMenu.

Then plug the USB Mass Storage device into xkey and update XK as usual.

Firmware 1.05 in beta testing.
Posted on October 15th 2011

Just a quick sneak peek what we have in store this time.

Thumbnails are now added to the IsoMenu feature.

To Use:
Add a JPG to the directory where the game ISO resides, give it the same name as the ISO but with a jpg file extension. That JPG is shown in the XBox's Picture Library browser when the game is selected. A small white square is shown if there is no JPG

More info on 1.05 soon to come!

And yes, more stock is on the way...

Firmware v1.07 is already in beta testing and should be out very soon.

------------------------------------
xk3y firmware UPDATE v1.11
------------------------------------

-------------
Instructions:
-------------

1. Extract the three files "rootfs", "uImage" & "xkey.cfg"

2. Open xkey.cfg with Notepad and configure it if needed.
2.1 Add the three files to the root folder of a Flash Drive or HDD. (Make sure to "eject" the drive properly from the PC, it may otherwise cause corrupt files)

3. Connect the Flash drive or HDD to your xk3y remote and wait for the xk3y to start the update.
3.1 The remote OLED will now display "UPDATING - PLEASE WAIT" for about 35 seconds. (Do not turn off your XB360 or disconnect the remote while updating)

4. Once the update is completed, the OLED will display "UPDATE COMPLETE - RESET XBOX" Reboot your xbox and the xk3y should now be updated to the latest firmware.

5. That's it! Continue to enjoy using xk3y with the new features!

NOTE! If you use the same drive as you store games on to do the update with, then its recommended (not needed) to remove the "rootfs", "uImage" & "xkey.cfg" from the root of your drive after a firmware update. Since keeping them there will cause the xk3y to check the files if they are a newer firmware version then stored on your xk3y micro SD card, and because of that take longer time for your HDD to be recognized.

My understanding is that if you log onto Xbox live it will do the silent update to your dash. Even with this latest xK3y firmware you will loose the ability to play non XGD3 titles! Is that correct?

Firmware Update v1.1 (Remote)

[04/01/2012]

V1.1
R7 users:
-The remote display will turn on when initially connected (or remain on when the console turns off) for 30 seconds and then turn off.
-When the console is off pressing a button on the remote will cause the display to turn on again for 30 seconds

R6&R7 users:
When the console is turned on the remote display will turn on shortly afterwards.
The remote display will turn off 30 seconds after 30 seconds of inactivity, it will turn back on when a button is pressed.

xk3y firmware v1.20 Beta1
Posted on April 4th 2012

- Fix for Kinect Rush Disk 2 (and future XGD2 waves)

------------------------------------
xk3y firmware UPDATE v1.23
------------------------------------

-------------
Instructions:
-------------

1. Extract the three files "rootfs", "uImage" & "xkey.cfg"

2. Open xkey.cfg with Notepad and configure it if needed.
2.1 Add the three files to the root folder of a Flash Drive or HDD. (Make sure to "eject" the drive properly from the PC, it may otherwise cause corrupt files)

3. Connect the Flash drive or HDD to your xk3y remote and wait for the xk3y to start the update.
3.1 The remote OLED will now display "UPDATING - PLEASE WAIT" for about 35 seconds. (Do not turn off your XB360 or disconnect the remote while updating)

4. Once the update is completed, the OLED will display "UPDATE COMPLETE - RESET XBOX" Reboot your xbox and the xk3y should now be updated to the latest firmware.

5. That's it! Continue to enjoy using xk3y with the new features!

NOTE! If you use the same drive as you store games on to do the update with, then its recommended (not needed) to remove the "rootfs", "uImage" & "xkey.cfg" from the root of your drive after a firmware update. Since keeping them there will cause the xk3y to check the files if they are a newer firmware version then stored on your xk3y micro SD card, and because of that take longer time for your HDD to be recognized.


-----------------------------------------
New features in 01.23 [13/07/12]
-----------------------------------------
-Added Active tag to xml
-Added support for Hitachi DLN10N 0500 & 0502 (RGH)
-Added support for MP3 menu
-Improved support for Hitachi DLN10N 0500 & 0502 (RGH)

So you had to continue the "Wasabi trolling" here as well. I already replied to your news post comment.

Wasabi has no support for Hitachi Slim drives (0500 & 0502) at all (not yet anyway), and the only supported drive for automatic extraction is Liteon 16D4S. The NAND files are only required on the new Hitachi Slim drives, those drives were previously unsupported on all ODD solutions including Wasabi, now they are supported via RGH dump with xkey which is an added feature.

The reason xkey requires a dump of the whole original ROM (dummy.bin) on previously supported drives is to emulate the DVD drive response properly, only using the drive key is not safe.

The procedure for consoles with these new drives involves obtaining the CPU key and DVD key by booting Xell, then dumping the NAND flash. The actual data required by xkey from the NAND flash dump is the Firmware Challenge Response Table (FCRT). The procedure is documented in the firmware release.


s4u,

I use EXT3 file system on the hard drive and have RESUMELAST=Y
in xkey.cfg, not sure why, but suspect that could be causing it since v1.23 clearly works for some.

2.1 Add the three files to the root folder of a Flash Drive or HDD. (Make sure to "eject" the drive properly from the PC, it may otherwise cause corrupt files)

3. Connect the Flash drive or HDD to your xk3y remote and wait for the xk3y to start the update.
3.1 The remote OLED will now display "UPDATING - PLEASE WAIT" for about 35 seconds. (Do not turn off your XB360 or disconnect the remote while updating)

4. Once the update is completed, the OLED will display "UPDATE COMPLETE - RESET XBOX" Reboot your xbox and the xk3y should now be updated to the latest firmware.

5. That's it! Continue to enjoy using xk3y with the new features!

NOTE! If you use the same drive as you store games on to do the update with, then its recommended (not needed) to remove the "rootfs", "uImage" & "xkey.cfg" from the root of your drive after a firmware update. Since keeping them there will cause the xk3y to check the files if they are a newer firmware version then stored on your xk3y micro SD card, and because of that take longer time for your HDD to be recognized.

Looks like I have screwed up & borked Fat support

For now use 1.23 and I will get 1.26 out in a day or so (assuming it is fixed). You're not missing much if you dont have a 16d5s
