If I go put another mechassault save on the hard drive, I downloaded it from codejunkies, will it screw up the exploit?

It shouldn't, but don't put any other exploit save as most use the same save ID.

To downgrade your dash, you need to get the slayers disk. Search for a guy named slayer on this forum and follow the instructions in his sig to get the iso.

Use an xiso extractor to extract the iso to a temp folder. SimpleX and craxation will not work, try something else.

Now you need to delete some stuff on C:\. Alternativly, you may just want to rename the folders and files instead of deleting them, you can delete them once you know the new one works.

Ftp into the XBox.

Delete:
C:\Audio
C:\Fonts
C:\xodash
C:\xboxdashdata.xxxxxxx
C:\xboxdash.xbe
DO NOT REBOOT THE XBOX AFTER DOING THIS!

FTP the SYSTEM\ALL\c folder from the extracted slayers to the xbox C:\.

Check that all files sent correctly.

Reboot the xbox.

Then check your dash version, it should be 4920.

mkjones, I haven't forgotten about you.

Oh good...

Let me see if I got this straight. You want to boot to XBMP, and run MXM off of XMBP's menu?

Well in a way yes, becuase I want to run XBMP as my default dash... I have set up MXM as a link in "my programs" but not tested it yet.. however, i still launch MXM as my default dash...

QUOTE

You still want to be able to use the custom soundtracks and custom BIOSes, right?

Would be nice...

QUOTE

Would you mind if MXM loaded and autolaunched XBMP.

Well not really! been looking into that...

QUOTE

Then when you wanted to run anything that used the custom BIOS or soundtrack you would need to run MXM, then launch the app from there.

OK, sounds good but how about this idea I had:

The 4XXX (I foget the numbers) BIOS and the M7 BIOS both run with the new exploit AND my xbox as it is a 1.4-1.5

However, PBL is all messed up so I cant see the PBL screen...

My plan was to WAIT till a non messed up versoin of PBL came out (SOON I HOPE!) and change the M7 bios so it loaded MXM and then have the 4XXX bios running XBMP as the default load..

I assumed this would work???

If i wanted to load MXM from STARTUP I would select a different BIOS (M7) using PBL, but for now I cant SEE the screen to do so..

Whats the verdict on that Idea???

[Mordenkainen]

It is a workable idea, but raises some possibility of configuration files getting messed up as MXM is not getting loaded every time you boot.

There is a risk that things could get wierd if you use it in this way.

Here is the deal, MXM runs some scripts when it starts up, kinda like autoexec.bat on your windows or DOS machine. If these scripts don't get run the machine could be left in a wierd state. This is all to do with the gamestub and custom BIOS stuff.

I will have to think about it.

No, you must have the Live 1.0 dash (4920)

Look up about 9 posts!

i have successfully "installed" morden's audio exploit v3.
in mxm there is a shortcut "ms dashboard", that brings you back to the m$ dashboard. when i click on it and return to the ms dashboard, i cannot return to MXM with the standard button combo.
why is that?

[Mordenkainen]

You should be able too....

What "standard" button combo are you using?

[pcween]

when i say "standard button combo" i mean:
1) having NO audio-cd in the dvd-drive
2) pressing down, A, down, A, right, right, A, A, A

[Mordenkainen]

Look up!

That is NOT the IGR combo.... Once you have a hack running, you CAN'T run it again... Which BTW is what you are trying to do.....

Notice you don't even HAVE the blank audio track in MSDash when you get to it this way?

Just an FYI... Both the font and audio exploits patch the RETAIL ms bios, after running PBL you are no longer running the RETAIL BIOS, thus there is nothing to patch!

morden when i goto mxm and click on the ms dash it still has the blank audio track but on my friends box its not there and he is able to rip music i cannot any ideas as to why?

[anjilslaire]

reinstall the Hacked DB. NOT the whole package. This should fix it. Then whenever you go to the m$ dash this way, do an igr to get back to mxm before shutting off. If you go mxm> ms dash > power off, it screws the hacked db up.
