OK, just a IF, but what IF you change back to the EvoX dash and accidentally, like one of the posters "almost"(15%) did, put in a game containing the update and it goes full process. Is your Xbox totally screwed? If you backup your whole C: drive and replace it after this update, will it be a ok again? Has anyone confirmed this or is it just speculation?

Deleting the update.xbe file in games will prevent you (or a dumbass friend) from selecting New Account and killing the EvoX dashboard.
What about newer games like Whacked that do the update when you load them up? Does deleting update.xbe avoid any nuke messes?
I can FTP stuff back and forth and hook up the PC DVD-rom drive but after looking at changing the bios, looks like I'm stuck with whatever I got. |
Good Newbie questions, get answers!
1 Yes, no update.xbe = no problems
2 Yes, again no update.xbe = no problems w/whacked
3 Follow my directions and make SURE you back up your hard drive to something permanent.

Nope, no problems. You only have to worry about the update itself.
Other than that everything works fine (much to my amazement!)

Ok, I have been thinking, which I do a lot of since I have nothing better to do at work, If you keep the LIVE update which is now xboxdash.xbe and rename the EvoX dash to msxboxdash.xbe or whatever you might have. Could you link EvoX from the LIVE dash. I hope you understand what Im trying to say. When Live loads up you have like four options. Could we make one of those options the EvoX? I think that would be a great thing if it could work cause this way when you run a game with this update.xbe it will see your system is already updated. No harm possible. Just trying to help.

No problem. Just do NOT run it after you have replaced the default dash with Evolution-X

I haven't tried this, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.
The update only looks at the xboxdash.xbe file to verify it the dash is up to date.
In turn the XBoxLive tab is merely an external program in the XODASH folder, so if you rename the folder and install Evolution-X there instead you are all set.
However you will really need a link to the XBLive dash from within Evolution-X to make any changes later.
Also remember that a subsequent "new" update may "fix" your evolution-X again to what MS is expecting.

Boot up from an EVOLUTION-X CD. The XBox is capable of booting from a CD no matter how badly you screw up the hard drive.
You can then FTP to the Xbox and restore the data back from your backup of your C:\ partition.
You -DO- have one right?

And when i shall transfer Splinter cell to my Xbox, shall i then delete Update file in the game?

Whacked boring? ?
You haven't played it on XboxLive then!
It's pretty good.

Look at the size of your xboxdash.xbe file on the Xbox.
If it is 1.6megs in size, it's been updated. If it's 1.2megs in size it's the old version.
If you can bring up the MS dashboard, you have not "messed up" the xbox.

Re: Splinter Cell update.xbe
This depends upon which Mod bios you are using and if you have the original dash as xboxdash.xbe
