Notes
- The custom boot animation has a small side effect where the console will take a bit longer to boot. The reason for this is that the animation does not start playing at first boot, rather it plays once the console is fully booted. It is being worked on and will be fixed soon.
- Multi-Disk Games
Multi disk games can now be run from the hard drive and still function properly when the game requests to switch disks. In order for Fusion to auto detect and switch to the next disk of a game, the game must be put into a special folder structure. Every disk for the game needs to be ripped to its own folder named disc1, disc2, etc. Each disk folder must be placed inside a folder just for that game.
Here is an example folder hierarchy:
\Battlefield 3\
\Battlefield 3\disc1\
\Battlefield 3\disc1\…
\Battlefield 3\disc2\
\Battlefield 3\disc2\…
Main Advantages & Features
- Retail Keys added in to allow use of anything that would work on a retail console. This includes hardware and software. Games like rockband require the retail keys to work.
This was a problem in the past and therefore rockband was unable to be "backed up".This also allows the user to use retail and XDK user profiles. Making it convenient instead of having to resign a profile to work with dev or vice versa. Your profiles will also get resigned but its resigned with retail keys.
- System link. Our system link in fusion will allow you to system link between dev and retail with no problems. Ping limit also removed out of the box so no need to run an app to do this.
- DVD Pairing. Tired of manually pairing your drive to the console? all you have to do once fusion is installed is pop the drive in and hit "Pair Drive".You do not even need
your dvd key from the keyvault or from the drive to perform this.
- Custom Boot Animations. The current Animation is hardcoded at the moment. For future releases the end user will be able to fully customize the stock boot animation
- Trainer Launcher. An SDK is being built for this. However, its currently ready and in place for use. Once the SDK is ready itll make it easier for users to make their own trainers
and game hacks.
- Multi Disc Game Support. Unlike previous rebooters and other hacked kernels. Our multidisc support works much better. Once finished with the first disc the console will automatically
find the next disc and load it as long as its in the proper file structure.
- Debug XEXs. Our kernel will run both retail and debug xexs. Even if the retail flag is not set in place. For example the leaked Forza 2 dev build on usenet and other developer beta games and apps.
- Arcade Patch. This was previously attempted in rebooters and such like freeboot. However, it was never 100% perfect and didnt work for every game. This patch was redone for full compatibility.
- Easier Access to DVD and CPU key. Tired of having to run xell every time you needed a cpukey? All you have to do now is go into Firmware Settings and you now have easy access to this info.
- HDD Load. RGLoader uses something similar to this by loading the flash files from HDD. However, ours loads 10x faster. This means no lag or choppiness when running anything.
- ISO Install of HDD files. Nuff said. Absolutely no need to install files to hdd manually. Once you install the flash image just run the iso in the console and itll install those files for you. This also means there is no need to go hunting for files.
- Re-purposed Family Settings to "Firmware Settings". Since we hackers most likely do not care much about family settings and restrictions… We went ahead and changed that over to our firmware settings tab. This is the option where you go to get your cpukey and other unique information that Xell or Xellous used to give you. All in all xell and xellous are no longer needed unless you plan to boot linux. Future release of fusion will allow linux booting.
- XGD Auth bypassed. Load retail game discs on a XDK kernel. Aswell as all AP2.5 checks removed. No need for FCRT.BIN or any extra files for this.
