Xbox 360 Softmod - Old Dashboard Skin (Blades/NXE)

I found a tutorial where you could use the Blades Dashboard Skin with DashLaunch. While the tutorial I found was designed for RGH/JTAG Xbox 360. I found a way to make it work on the Xbox 360 with ABadAvatar.

This is different from flashing the modified NAND with the older dashboard. It may work but compatibility varies and I wasn't willing to take the risk. An example of this:    • Xbox 360 downgrade to Blades using Bad Update  

I haven't tested this with the BadUpdate but do let me know if BadUpdate works with this.

If you're wondering how I did it, I basically followed the Blades Dashboard Tutorial but instead of copying the files to the HDD, keep them in your USB drive.

If you've put XeUnshackle alongside DashLaunch when you've setup the BadAvatar USB, XeUnshackle should detect DashLaunch and the launch.ini file you've put in. Press Back and you will be in the modern dashboard, go to the included XeXMenu in games and find the Dash Launch folder, open default.xex and you'll be taken to the menu.

Select Paths and then Default, find your dash.xex file in Usb0 and select with A. If you want to setup Proto Stealth alongside the old Dashboard, go to the Plugins tab, select plugin2 and find your Proto.xex in Usb0.

Once you've setup the Dashboard and Plugin, press the RB button to go navigate to the Save/Load menu. Hover over Usb0 and press X. You've now saved the launch.ini file on your USB drive. When you exit Dash Launch, you'll still be in the modern dashboard. You should turn off and on your Xbox so that the new launch.ini file will be read by XeUnshackle. After XeUnshackle loads, once you press Back you should now be loaded onto the Dashboard of your choice (Blades or NXE).
