Xblive Continues Quest.
« on: October 27, 2002, 11:30:00 AM »
Im really tired and annoyed of all these peeps asking the same question, "I have _____ mod chip, how do i set up xblive?" We need to get things straight.

(Credits to Opjose)

1) First COPY your Evolution-X dashboard from xboxdash.xbe to yboxdash.xbe and place it on the Xbox's C:\ drive.

2) Then flash the bios with the ybox bios.

3) Reboot, and your system should still come up in Evolution-X.

4) Now ftp to it again and rename the original M-I-C-R-O-S-O-F-T dash to xboxdash.xbe

5) Modify the evox.ini file to reflect this change (msxboxdash.xbe ==> xboxdash.xbe) and maybe even xbmp's config file.

6) Reboot the Xbox again.

7) Make sure you can drop to the dash from Evolution-X.

8) If so insert the NEW XboxLive cd, and let it boot.

9) it will "update" your dashboard. When it's done it will shutdown your machine.

10) Eject the disk.

11) The Xbox will come back up in Evolution-X, drop to the MSdashboard.

12) Now you'll see a new tab that says XBOX Live in the MS dash.

13) Your work is done.

14) No more XboxLive worries.

i got one question, if you want to flash to say, a newer evox bios like from 2.4 to 2.5 after doing all this, will i need to reflash the ybox bios after i flash to the 2.5 evox bios? or does the ybox bios stay in there no matter how much flashing i do?

                                    as long as it is some kind of ybox bios, it will stay the same

Does X-Box live detect the presence of a mod-chip at all? I ask because I have a US import x-box, and I just got the europe beta application, and I'll likely need to use a hacked bios to play xblive games...

What Mod-chips support the ybox bios you ask???? Ok here it goes. PC-Bioxxx, matrix/xodus, homebrew, new xecutor2 chips..... now what bios needs to be programed in these chips to make it work?   Evox2.x but the bios must say ".ybox" somewhere in the name

I actually tried writing out a post explaining ybox, but it's not something you can just write out without sounding long-winded.
So my advice, do a search on the subject, check out the pinned posts at the top of the XboxLive forum, or check out opjose's posts on the subject.
He is a wealth of knowledge on the matter, and he has revealed alot of answers on the whole "XboxLive/dash update" questions.

"I do not have an alternate dashboard or anything else on the modded box's hard-drive. However, as of this morning I could not connect to X-Box live."

I have one question for you then. I have my hard drive locked and can boot to the OEM bios (xboxdash.xbe) when I switch my modchip off with the Openbox-PC Bioxx and 2.5 ybox bios. However, I still have the EvoX dashboard (yboxdash.xbe) installed on my hard drive. Am I okay to sign up for Live with my modchip switched off even though I have the EvoX dashboard (yboxdash.xbe) installed on my hard drive, or should I delete the EvoX dashboard (yboxdash.xbe) off my hard drive and boot EvoX off a CD-RW everytime I want to play my backup games just to be safe? If someone can answer me this question, then that would be alot of help.
