Just finished first install of V.3 works great thanks Morden! I installed a 160gb hard drive formated F:=137 Format G: 20??. How can I utilize the space on the G: drive none of games are recognized. I have read many posts about the lba48 and patching bios yadda yadda. Is there a simple edit to the mxm script that will force apps to search G drive. I am sure there is a simple solution but Im a freakin n00b! Thanks in advance.

Visit the MXM forum, I belive the info is there,,,

Success!

Finally I found the time today to build my own AR, and V3 worked on the first try!  I would
like to thank everyone who replied to my naive questions and most of all Morden for a great
package.

Morden:  If you need beta testers for V4 (or V3.5 or whatever) I would be happy to try it
out.  My configuration is a v1.2 (or v1.3) box , 5101 kernel, 4920 MS dashboard, a Thompson
DVD drive and the Conexant card.

I only wish I had more time to play with MXM _today_!

I created my own saved game hack (007) for my v1.3/1.4 and v1.0 xboxes... It works perfectly fine, and includes the audio hack that Morden created. It's based off of Morden's hack (I believe its an older version than the current version), but has the X2 4979_67 bios, and is packaged into a "small" 3MB download. (It extracts to ~7MB).

Keep in mind-- This is for 007 only!

EDIT - URL Deleted. Read Pinned topic about posting files. You have been warned.

NOTE: I won't release this to xbins, since it is just an updated/tested version of Morden's Audio Hack.
Enjoy...


Edited By Morden to remove XDK compiled Binaries.

jimmsta,


Sorry that I had to remove that link, nothing personal. But as a mod i am now expected to.


What are the changes that you made to the package?




Hooo3,

Just a couple of pages back is a list of folders to delete to get rid of this error.

Morden.

[Mordenkainen]

I don't mind if you host it on your web site... But you can't provide a link from here.


It contains XDK compiled code, which is against the rules to link from here.


Morden.

PS - A little strapped for time right now, but I will be back later to answer the questions that have been stacking up!

Thanks Morden I fixed up that error but now i'm having a weird problem...after I install the package I am able to activate the audio hack right away but if I try again later then it actually tries to start copying the song...I have the Source folder from the bond.zip in my E:   should i get rid of that too?

Using this forum as a guide I've managed to get XBMP and Doom running off the gamesave on my friends XBOX. However, my XBOX is on Live and presumably has the latest Dash, Im not interested in installing the Audio hack part as Im quite happy using MechAssault as a boot disc. Therefore, am I safe from getting banned from Live if all I do is load mechassault, play XBMP off the gamesave and stream everything from my PC. Then when Ive finished watching my film will the XBOX reset to its default condition or do these hacks make changes to the HDD which MS can trace when you go on live. TIA

You should be fine. Note that XBMP and XBMC save settings as a game save. You can delete them from the M$ dashboard if you're really paranoid.

Ok, here we go:


Dai_UK,

Use Evox launched as an app to get the eeprom.


pimmp,

Any that doesn't have the 5530 Kernel.


BUS3131,

Add lines to menu.xml for g:. Then refresh the cache and reboot. Look in menu.xml and you will see several lines for E: and F:


Caxtor,

I will not support the thc dash due to personal reasons. But if you know how to edit xip/xap, you should be able to convert it yourself. The only issue I see is you will not be able to set the gamestub on a game by game basis, which may cause big problems.


DeltaTau,

No the BIOS's in use will only load with 1.3.5i. The old PBL won't work. Try unplugging any other controllers and the DVD diongle except the first one. And check that everything installed ok.


nihilistic,

Perhaps. We shall see when V4 is closer to something than it is now.


jimmsta,

You never answered my question!


euroboy,

is there a way to make the 'Linux' item in the M$ dash boot mxm

You already have a font exploit installed! You can not use more than one exploit at a time. This is the source of your problems.


Hooo3,
Activate it right away? Let me guess. After the install you are selecting the MSDash menu option, and using the hack? If so you are installing it and immediatly breaking it! Reboot after installing!

Awesome thank you Morden it is working now!!! So now i can get apps and emulators and stick them into the E: and they should be able to run?

[euroboy]

Thanks for the info - will try updating pbl to the font version  when I get home.  There are still things that I don't understand and hope someone can talk about:

- when running game saves using MA - is this MA specific exploit ?
- in what way does the audio exploit interact with the font exploit ( as I understand the audio is a buffer overflow, jumping to  e:\linux.xbe or e:\pbl\p.xbe ) ?

- is it possible for the mxm audio install code to check for the font exploit and display a message - might save people time if it can be easly checked ( maybe it should be added to the pinned FAQ within the forum )

Your installer is a very nice package, and I hope you will be able to add some more guard code in v4 to deal with some of the more common problems people are seeing - well done  

[Hooo3]

sorry ignore my last post ...everything is working now!!! THANKS MORDEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[albrikmail]

Thanks for this posting I finally got my dashboard working properly with a linux menu on it.

your a genius and you should win a plain English award for how easy you made it.

Thanks again

I think I know but what does this actually do? I mean does this allow you to copy and burn games to another cd? What do all of you do with it. and it would help if you could point me to the topic page with the latest update or any help what so ever would be very helpful. By the way, as you guessed, I am a noob and I only got the Xbox a month ago. Also by the way, can anone tell me if this is done wrong it will make your Xbox die. I have also heard it will ban you from xbox live which will make me lose a interest so please help me.

And by the way, it looks like you put a lot of work into this so thanks. Even if I dont do it.

[jimmsta]

Sorry. I forgot where I posted that message, and only found it today. I believe I forgot to post the correct zip, so it's actually a good thing that you deleted the link. (Now I'm not sure where my revised version went off to).

Basically, I used the 4980_67 bios, and decreased the jpegs from the Phoenix Bios Loader... Trying to gain a little space for small apps, such as Boxexplorer, and perhaps in the future, some other goodies...

Sorry about the missing changelog... maybe if I ever find my zip file, I'll post it again with your consent first!!
