NO DON'T Try this!

If you run a NTSC game on your PAL xbox it may very well update the PAL dashboard, even if it's already been updated.

It occurs because the update software will not see the same VERSION dash that it is expecting so it will try again, nuking your box!

Remember in an OEM Xbox NTSC games will not run on PAL Xboxes or vice versa. So this is not a problem for non-modded boxes.

However it IS a HUGE problem for yours.

Fix the game!

Extract the files and remove the update.xbe file, then reburn to make your game XBLive safe for you!

I dont run evox on my harddrive, when i want to backup a game i just boot into evox and then continue to ftp. So i guess when i install live update i wont be affected? The only thing I dont understand is that i have patched my xboxdash with regionX and also will do the progrssive patch at a later date, so will these changes still be active after live has done its update to the dashboard? If not will the same patchs still work on the updated xboxdash?

hang on what if after i update to live pal i use ntfc game and it updates to live ntsc i could just put the pal game back in update over ntsc back to pal

This is just a check list so as to know what your are/aren't doing (so don't get upset by the list if some of the questions are .. well .. silly)

Are you burning the iso image?.
Did you make sure the evox dash file is called default.xbe on the CD Media and all the ip settings in evox.ini are correct?


So if you've done the above, have you tried to "pad" the iso with a large file so as to move the content of evox to the outer portion of the dvd-r/cd-r

Were you previously (before the splinter cell damage) able to boot to the dash using the same media?

If you did have success booting at an earlier time, then there's no reason why you can't now.

anyways, let us know how you're preping the dvd-r/cd-r with evox?

when i Used Splinter cell ......... live ..... every thing crashed not at once  but slowley  first the main menu stops to work second i can't play games anymore  even  wurst the Xbox stopt booting  nothing boots anymore

I no longer have the original, unpatched, PAL dashboard.  (DVDX-1 patched)

If I run the LIVE update, it will screw up my system.

Can I un-patch my dashboard?  i understand I cannot use one from another XBOX, is this right?

[warbeast]

as long as u have a xbox c drive msxboxdash.xbe back as xboxdash.xbe u can update but as far as i know there is no uk pal games out yet with live on them

also theres a post on the main page on how to update without ybox ie x-ecuter people  if u got ybox i would keep it like that dont fuck with  the live folder in c inless u have to

[CaliSurfer008]

I don't get wut YXboxDash.xbe is...does everyone have it? after i take the evoX dash out...and rename the original one...so it boots the original one..and install Xbox live...then put put the EvoX dash back on...rename everything back to wut it wuz...and edit the Menu.ini file so that it adds Xbox Live to the Launch Menu...and all is fixed..i can still play my burned games? Please clarify...thanx!


Also..how do I make an Image of the C and E drive? do i just copy all the files over into a folder via FTP? And if i screw it up..how do I restore that Image?

[tupac]

so what if I nuke my xbox and do turn it off?  How hard is that to fix(if I don't have a backup), but do have an evox install cd?

Ok, here's another n00b question:
I'm getting my beta live cd in the mail between now and monday.  I have an enigmah clone and have never touched a single file on my HD through anything else than the original xbox dashboard (just deleting files, soundtracks all that boring stuff) and do not have, plan on having, or ever have had evo X on my xbox.  Anyway, i dont have a switch to turn off my enigmah clone modchip.  But besides that, everything on my xbox is normal.  Should I worry when i install the beta live cd and play the games online?

Thx for the help,
