Um no.
You run the game save hack
Set up an ftp
FTP in and install the fonts
Reboot. If you did it right it will load up to Evox.
From there you can install PBL.

Not the other way around.

NeoKast, yes, 007/MA hack (so called game save exploit) will still run on V1.4/V1.5.

I already said that...

Thank you for the confirmation James Row.

I thought it wasn't dash related, but I thought perhaps MS did something with the latest dash to prevent it, according to rumor.

lol, sorry to called you stupid on my last post but this is also another mistake

the 007 hack method is use to boot up the evox menu... so why use the evox menu again to install it again hehe s... and by the way, if you install the evox first without the PBL, when you restart your xbox, it will still boot to the original xbox dashboard, unless you install the font hack with it too, which means the font hack itself is the PBL s...

PBL = Phoniex Bios Loader = allow you to run unsign .xbe file s...

so the reason why the 007 hack method can boot the evox is becuase the evox .xbe file is already signed s...

MS can do whatever they want with the dash but they can't do anything with the already released 007/MA games. As opposed to win32 programming where libraries can be dynamically linked, all libraries in Xbox are statically linked which means you can't release a service pack to fix the exploit. The only way to fix this is to recompile those games with the newer libraries.

Furthermore, titles(applications) on Xbox always run on Ring0, which means no other background application can run at the same time any title does, not even the dash.

Bottomline is, it will take a huge resources to fix the problems with the existing games.

That's not my point.
I helped the guy and he flamed me for it. What an ass.

[NeoKast]

You didn't help me at all SpikeMage. You did nothing but sound confused about what I was asking. You never once said that the 007 game save hack would work on the v1.4 or v1.5.

Thanks again Jim.

Don't read so good do ya champ?

"Anyway I am pretty sure that it will work. "


and

"EDIT:
Actally I know for a fact it works on 1.5. But because of the new chip PBL will scramble the video. So this might also happen depending on what bios you flash it with."

Jeeze,

Why is everyone getting so hyped up and starting all this flaming. His question was simple enough. From all reports and my own experienes (up thru v1.4). The 007 exploit works fine and will get you into evox/ftp and raincoat. As stated the 007/mech hack is a fault of the game and I don't think it would be very easy for m$ or the publishers to fix this fault at this point.

Also as previously stated I would use the new Evox M7 bios if you are flashing xboxes newer than 1.3 as the newer units have a different video chip that is not supported by older bioses.  If you flash with an older bios you will be screwed if you have the new video chip and end up with a scrambled screen.

I wish someone would figure out how to fix the M7 bios for BFM so we could use it with PBL. I wonder if a working M7 for PBL would fix the crimson skies problem or is that going to require some type of new media patching? I am surpised that no release or patch group hasn't figured this out yet. I guess m$ has the upper hand for now.
