Ugh, I hope this can be fixed...

I used Slayer's 2.6 on my softmodded box, formatted the C: drive and "restored" the original Msdash to it, because I wanted to install Blackwar's. Problem is, now it will *not* not read my MechAssualt disc (NTSC-J), and thus I cannot load Blackwar's installer, which is already on my E: drive. It gives me the message "Invalid Game Region"

Any solutions? Am I screwed?

let me guess, you are using the UDE2 and changed the xbe region on your xbox.

1) use newer exploits.

2) don't use slayers on a softmodded xbox, especially stuff relating to the C drive.

you will have to reinstall the exploit without the exploitable game, either unlock the drive or hotswap, then reinstall.

Use xboxhdm to put a basic uxe setup on your hdd.. Then run an installer manually and correct the stock C: files on the shadowc after installation..

Sorry, no idea what was used. How do I find out?

Can you give some suggestions?

Too late now unfortunately... i had been doing a bit of reading around x-s and it seemed slayers was ideal for reverting a C: back to its original state. guess i forgot about the region bit...

Looks like my only option is to take the HD out?

well if it works why not... can't find any other sources. can I find yours on the usual places?

(i pm'd kingroach but he didn't respond... maybe he doesnt want a n00b to be beta testing his new installer

)

you don't need an installer, just assemble the necessary exploit files and copy them over in xboxhdm.

true... once I hook it up with xboxhdm I can just copy the stuff 'assembled' onto C: yeah? guess the hard part is figuring what files to be 'assembled'.. e.g. blackwar's installer..

grab uxe-complete from the usual places, should be all you need.

i hope you have a copy of your eeprom as well, if not then its hotswapping

thanx, i'll get uxe-complete as well from the usual places.

the eeprom is something that I DO have. got a copy on CD and couple copies on my hard drive.. B)

OK I got UXE Complete 0.2.1... I read the readme and know that I have to run the two batch files, etc. Then I am going to copy everything inside "UXE-C-REPLACE" onto my xbox's C drive.

But before I do that, when I boot up xboxhdm I'm going to have only the xbox hd connected, right? Can I put the package onto the CD iso (xboxhdm) as well, otherwise I don't know how I would transfer it over...

btw, there's NO WAY to fix this without opening up the box?

Kai920 · « **Reply #14 on:** March 01, 2005, 11:32:00 PM »

OK, I read through most of the xboxhdm for dummies thread (which absolutely rocks btw) and I'm ready to try building a spare 20gig I have here at work.

I still want to revert C: to STOCK, but since I bought my xbox pre-softmodded, the only backup of C I have is when it was in a modded state. Where can I find stock C files that fit my xbox's region?
