~ savecoder - You are partly right. Sure it is .rso, but that doesn't matter. Also, where did you hear about this "! Autorun" thing? I have never heard about that before.

~ shadowwatch - I'm 100% certain that if you name it "! Startup" (don't worry about the extension, but it needs to be a capital "S"), that it will work fine. I have done it a zillion times.

:shock: What firmware do you use? It doesn't work for me. (custom firmware build almost identical to stock 1.29.)

I don't remember exactly. I think I read about it somewhere...

So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin,
And opened the life gate that all may go in.

I have done it on many of the EFWs, and most recently, on the latest version of EFW.

If you are using a custom FW, is it that stripped one that was discussed a while ago on these forums? I didn't remember that it was actually made, but if so, I wouldn't be surprised if that code was stripped from it.

Edit: What's more, there was an obvious error in the picture that the TO posted. He had the program named "! startup", and it needs to be "! Startup".

~Matt: We were both right and both wrong, I guess. I tested with the EFW and stock firmware , and "! Autorun.rxe" doesn't work. :oops: However, you have to use "! Startup.rxe". Anything else fails. And yes, the EFW is definitely required.

Nope. It's a build I made myself. It's identical to the stock FW, except that I removed the TryMe menu.

one thing in the program is it "! Startup.rbt"
when you replace .rbt for .rxe it won't work (didn't worked for me)

Oh, okay. I didn't realize that it needed to be EFW.

.rbt means it is an NXT-G file on the computer. .rxe is the executable that gets downloaded to the NXT.
