• XSelect 0.9 placed in the spot that gets executed by the hack.
  • XSelect 0.9 is a Habibi-signed executable when obtained from "The Usual Places".
  • The spot that gets executed by the hack will depend on the hack. Common locations are E:\Default.XBE, E:\exploit, and E:\Linux.XBE.
• I configure XSelect 0.9 to run E:\NKPatr6.XBE which I have made into a Habibi-signed executable using XBEDump. I point it at something to ensure the signature checking is fully defeated.
  • I generally use a Habibi-signed E:\NKPatr6.XBE, although that is hardly the only option, nor is it an option that will be universally agreed to be the best.
• I then make sure that E:\LastDash.txt points to the signature-defeating Xbox exectuable the way I expect E:\LastDash.txt to. If E:\LastDash.txt doesn't exist, which will be the case unless I already ensured it is there, I look for LastDash.Txt in E:\UDATA\01010001\0123456789ABC\ or E:\UDATA\01010001\0123456789AB\ or E:\UDATA\01010001\. If I find it there, I copy it to E:\.
• Whatever I am using to defeat signature checking runs C:\EvoxDash.XBE because of E:\LastDash.Txt.
• I place XSelect 0.9 in C:\EvoxDash.XBE, so that I can easily choose a different dashboard in case my regular dashboard stops working as well as I expect it to (such as if I upgrade to a new version).
• I configure XSelect 0.9 in C:\EvoxDash.XBE, and I ensure that C:\LastDash.Txt exists and points to where I want it to.

If I am running a hack and I use this, and the hack successfully runs the first copy of XSelect 0.9, I can know that the hack is successfully installed. If there are any problems after XSelect 0.9 is run, those can likely be far easier to fix just knowing that the hack was successfully installed and that XSelect 0.9 successfully ran.

On the other hand, if XSelect 0.9 fails to execute, then people can know it is either a problem with XSelect 0.9, or the problem results from the way the hack is installed/used.

• Since XSelect 0.9 is fairly simple and self-reliant, the only problem with XSelect 0.9 that one is likely to have to worry about is whether the file is named the right thing and whether it is signed properly. (Since XSelect 0.9 is Habibi signed when obtained from "The Usual Places", even the signature is very often not anything to be concerned of.)
