This is a very special showcase for everyone who wants to take a sneak peek at XtremeEliteBoot+'s dashboard and play around with it.
Keep in mind it is not a final build and it is extremely limited.
What you will see there is just a 30% of XEB+.
In addition, it will NOT autoboot with your console, initialize it or anything of that sort. That's the bootloader's task and it is not included in this package.
On the brighter side, you can run this build from any place you want, so drop it somewhere and launch it, but I warn you: ROMFS theme support and parallel folder reads are not available, so launching from a Memory Card could be slow. Since this is a build made for you to look at what is coming and have fun with it, it will be better to run it from a pendrive. In any case, you can use PS2BBL to autoboot it from USB if you want to, or you can also configure FMCB to launch it automatically.
By the way, we locked EVERY setting except for FMCB's Configurator, so if you have FMCB installed, you can still access the configurator from the XEB+'s dashboard.

The XtremeEliteBoot+ Dashboard uses Enceladus as engine, which was created by Daniel Santos and improved by us, Howling Wolf & Chelsea
XtremeEliteBoot+ uses fragments of code from various homebrew apps:
Free McBoot (jimmykaelkael & neme)
OSDInit (sp193)
uLaunchELF (Mirakichi, E P, dlanor and others)
One of the exploits that will be used in XtremeEliteBoot+'s complete release is OpenTuna, which is based on Fortuna by krat0s and was developed by alexparrado

- Smasher, as a good example of a modular Lua application.
By the way, if you wish to exit it, hit Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Cross, Square
- Some other well-known PS2 applications (OPL, SMS and GSM) with example plugin files. Please, read the documentation in the "PLG" folder if you are interested in creating your own plugin files. Some already released apps (like Memory Card Annihilator v2.0a) already comes with PLG files for XEB+ since months ago. Ain't that neat?
Credits of these apps goes to their respective creators.
- Five themes (six if you add the meme one) where included as tech demos of what can be done with XEB+'s dashboard. Detailed instructions on how to make theme files will be posted at http://www.hwc.nat.cu/ps2-vault/hwc-projects/xebplus/ on a later date. Anyway, don't rush out to make theme files now. The theme's format will be tweeked a bit in the next months, so better wait for the release of the stable and complete XEB+ in 2023. Credits goes to Berion, Daniel Santos, Julia and us, Howling Wolf & Chelsea.
- Quick ESR Launcher as a fine example of a trigger script. The ESR IRX files where developed by ffgriever. The script was made by us, Howling Wolf & Chelsea.

If you enabled the Childproof mode in the settings, you can still launch unsafe apps. Just use this key Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Cross, Circle when asked for one.

First, we, Howling Wolf & Chelsea, wants to let you know that developing XEB+ for every one of you is our honor. This was never about earning money and never will be, but, if you want to show your appreciation for this more-than-ten-years-in-development project, here is how you can:
- Crypto:
TRX:

USDT TRC20:

ETH:

USDT ERC20:
0x1d65A7Dca7EfFfe90348B04A45ED6e3f983A9Db6
BTC:

BTC/ETH/USDT ERC20 has high fees. Consider using TRX or USDT TRC20 instead.
Use the default network of each specific coin. For example, don't confuse USDT TRC20 with USDT ERC20 or ETH with BTC. Anything send in the incorrect network will be lost. If you're not sure, ask someone or just don't make a crypto transaction and use a traditional method instead.

All the donations will be used for meals and coffee to keep me awake while I develop. Don't blame me, I'm being honest! I might also use them to buy extra PS2 hardware to develop other features for XEB+ or fix model-specific issues that might happen.
