Temp Dashboard From Mech Loader Question
« on: March 31, 2004, 02:33:00 PM »

i posted this in newbie forum but it may be better here

here's a question for you?
i have 2 xbox's 1 is moded using audio/mech hack.

my other xbox is not moded and uses live 2.0 (i like live and this is why i have not moded it)

my question is if i load the save game (mech) and get to the temp dashboard(xbx) not install the hacks or the dashboards(just use the one the hack is using), can i run my backed up games.
 then when i turn off i delete the save game and the unit as i see it should be good as new and i should not have any problems with live play.

does this make sense? would it work? has anyone tried it?

I have found that on live 2.0 you can not install the exploit but i am just wondering if i can get to the temp dashboard and play my burn.

You can't play backups using the gamesave exploit. If you attempt to open the tray to switch disks, the exploit "session" is done. You can always use Live 2.0 with the audio exploit if you follow the steps listed HERE. However, just as any exploit, you can't use copied games on live. :)

Is there a reson the temp dashboard boots you?
Im no programer but has anyone tryed fixing that issue.

Just seems like a nice symple clean way to play back-ups without any worries of being cought on Live. Like i mentioned i do have a fully exploited 2nd xbox but it is on a little tv on the other side of the house.(call me lazy)

If im wrong, If you install the audio hack and MS scan your drives then they would find the hack. I believe legaly the could scan the drive if the wanted and ban you.

They can't fix this--or at least at the moment haven't been able to--because when the game is booted, the game sets a flag in the system memory to tell itself to reset on eject.

He can run backup/homebrew from the game-save exploits. They must reside on the HD and then he simply needs to link his dashboard to the xbe.
A network connection is required as that's the only way to get the files onto the Xbox without ejecting the disk.
Delete the game when you're done and all is back to normal.

Otherwise he would have to borrow a modded xbox for ripping his own games, or borrow a backup of a game he allready owns (would that be legal?)

not true

there is a new mechassault exploit called mech evox and mech avalaunch it will allow you to make backups and run them on your xbox

problem if you try to use live games backups online and someone else is online with the original it will ban you for detecting the serial number that is built into the software

Do yourself a favor and research before you post. You can't play backups on Live to begin with. NOT because of the serial number... It's because M$ scans the xbox for hacked bios. dry.gif

 I did read your first post. A agree with you.

My point was just this : for him to transfer the backup using a network connection from the PC to the xbox he would have to have the game on the PC. How would he get that if the game itself is not exploitable? I know there are ways of getting ripped games but that's not legal...

tongue.gif  Sorry! Forgot he had a modded box as well. Still only one or two backups would fit on the stock HD, but yes it is possible.
