[NEWS] RGLoader 0v400 Beta

[alexpierotti]

Il nand builder RGLoader (Reset Glitch Loader) si aggiorna alla versione 0v400 Beta, per supportare il kernel 16537.

Tale applicazione serve per 'trasformare' la vostra console RETAIL, in una DEVKIT con funzioni base del Devkit appunto, cosa non possibile quando si crea un freeboot con l'ottimo Xebuilder.

Note di Rilascio

A lot of people have thought that RGLoader has been dead/abandoned.
Yeah, basically it's been dead for a while now mostly because Stoker has been gone for over a year so there was
only one real developer for RGLoader and real life stuff gets in the way.
I've gotta put out a big thank you to sk1080 for releasing a usable version of RGLoader for 16202 while I've been gone.
In either case, saying that RGLoader is dead really does not make a lot of sense
when we have tried to make it as open as possible without sharing code that was donated by
people who don't want it running out in the wild yet. RGBuild.exe is not obfuscated in any
way and can be completely decompiled to source with .net reflector.
The patches are provided in plain text and compiled when you run the image which should allow anyone to be able to
update them for a new kernel.
All you would have to do is use the existing file structures as a guide to add support for a new update.
This said, there is no reason that some random person would not be able to change RGBuild for their own purpose or for a new kernel.


RGBuild++ was another project started by stoker and abandoned and left to me to finish,
and there's still quite a bit of work to be done on it before it's ready for a release.
I felt bad releasing an update using the RGBuild everyone is familiar with when I have promised new features like jasper big block support.
It's hard to devote the amount of time and effort needed to finish something like this when the xbox scene is slowing down and interest in
alternative nand builders is low.
This doesn't mean that I haven't been updating RGLoader for my own uses and adding features,
it just means I didn't feel like putting in the effort to make it usable for the general public and releasing.

I've seen a lot more activity in the #RGloader channel on EFNet and on the forum with people asking for a new update.
I have no problem putting the work in when I know it's not going to waste, so these past couple weeks I have been porting some of the new features in RGBuild++ to this older builder just so you guys can enjoy what we have so far and run a much more stable kernel.

I'd like to conclude with, don't be fooled and think that just because the builder looks
the same that the xbox side hasn't changed. Please try out some of the new features added
and PLEASE leave feedback in the shoutbox at rgloader.com with any problems or successes you have had.
This lets us know that there are still people out there that have use for a devkit kernel on a retail xbox.

Features

-- Avatar File Installer --

Thanks to cOz and his badass system extended partition installer code, RGLoader.xex now supports creating and formatting the hard drive partitions for the avatar update files. Included in the hdd filesystem files is a $SystemUpdate folder.
If RGLoader detects that this folder exists, it will reinitialize the partitions and automatically copy the files to it.
It usually requires a reboot after the installation for the avatars to start showing up in the dashboard.


-- HV Peek Poke --

A peek poking patch has been added to the hypervisor. It uses the same call format that Freeboot uses with syscall0.


-- RGLoader Plugin Loading --

Options have been added to RGLoader.ini for loading plugins in the same format that dashlaunch handles.
They are essentially just system dlls so you can use them for whatever purpose you wish.

Format:
[Plugins]
Plugin1 = Hdd:\Plugin1blah.xex
Plugin2 =
Plugin3 =


-- RGLP Loading at runtime --

Not really a new feature, but not many people knew about this before.
During system initialization RGLoader.xex will scan the systemroot for any .rglp files and will apply
them to the kernel/xam/whatever the address is for.
They are a standard patch format [Addr][numberofpatches][startpatches..].
There is a file named rglXam.rglp in the hdd filesystems folder which you can open with a hex editor and use an example.
This feature is useful for testing extra patches without having to completely reflash your nand image.


-- KDNet for Jtags --

KDNet is kernel debugging over lan. It is basically like xbwatson on crack.
It shows post codes and runs even before xbdm.xex gets launched.
This utility is extremely useful for debugging problems in the kernel, and also inserting
breakpoints and debugging xex modules running on the system.
Developers who create trainers and such will find this very useful.
In the past, using xbsetcfg to setup KDNet for jtags would corrupt the nand image and brick the xbox because it overwrites
important info where the jtag payload is stored.
This issue has been fixed in RGLoader.
The most exciting thing about the latest RGBuild update is that when you build your nand image it detects the computers
local IP address and sets up KDNet for the nand. This is very useful because if your xbox fails to boot or has problems, you do not need
a uart cable or a post sniffer to figure out what the problem is.
Simply hook your ethernet cable into your xbox and run KDNet and the problem will be obvious and easy to fix usually.
Make sure you have the SDK installed (xbox neighborhood) and run one of the provided bat files (KDNet_win7.bat / KDNet_win8.bat) and turn
on your xbox.

-- Memory Protection Options --

In the past there have been problems when running certain utilities made for retail kernel on RGLoader, such as trainers for games.
This was caused by the xex being compiled to use memcpy instead of DmSetMemory.
A lot of trainers have already been updated to fix this issue, but there is now an option which will disable the memory protection in this
devkit kernel in the same way it is disabled in retail.
This fixes most problems with trainers and such.
In options.ini set NOMEMPROT = 1

Changelog

-Added support for 16537
-Too many fixes to name for RGBuild.exe (much better corona support in image editing)
-Fixed JTAG KDNet support
-RGBuild now sets up KDNet in the nand image (no need for xbsetcfg)
-Fixed filesystem issues, can now insert payload anywhere in nand and filesystem will rearrange itself.
-Overall much more stable kernel patches
-Options.ini
-Ability to disable memory protection
-RGLoader.xex
-Added plugin loading
-Will load ini from USB drive before hdd (useful if a plugin is crashing the system)

Serve un hd interno dedicato.

[rossi antonio]

il programma non funziona all'avvio Windows me lo chiude e mi da un errore

[alexpierotti]

modificate fonte e download

@rossi antonio
prova con i nuovi download

[xbox360mod]

Interessante, non era con questi kit che si poteva andare su pnet??? Oppure sto facendo confusione

E' chiaro che con rgloader su pnet non ci vai...come con rgh non vai sul live...
A parte questo e la mancanza hardware del "sidecar", diciamo che e' un ottimo compromesso.
Chiaramente nel 99,9% dei casi e' purtroppo solo un pretesto per occupare la terza nand del trident...anche se potrebbe essere un buon modo per cominciare ad interessarsi alla programmazione.

si certo, il discorso di non andare on line è chiaro , comunque si tratta di un bel lavoro, magari un giorno.....

[Pascalise]

Poichè non sono pratico di queste cose che fa questo programma alle console rgh?? Cioèa che serve???

[dark joker]

Scusate ma questo progetto sarebbe simile al fusion kernel ??
