Xellous can be a bit temperamental sometimes, although it should remap the BB's for you - I've always done it meself manually.

I'd install a permenant LPT port in your 360 - you never know now that it's a choice between XBR and FreeBoot when you're going to want to update, and if updating borks the 360, then you'd have no other option but to hook up your LPT again. SabbathDude's tut, or a version of that is good for this - I use a DB-9 connector port under the HD for ease, with a reconnectable DB-9 socket for me USB SPI.

Best direction - see above, also get ready for games that require the 9199 dash to run, so at the mo' it's FreeBoot 0.032 for a dash....

Glad you got it going though

I find it weird that so many people have bad dumps. I built my LPT cable with no resistors, and it's running on a Windows 98 Pentium 2 machine, and I've never had a bad dump, or any errors when reading/writing. I wonder if maybe people are using power strips/surge protectors when plugging in the 360 which may cause voltage issues and give bad dumps...

nand dumps can be crazy... make your cable as short as possable and make sure you have great connection to your board ...  plus instead of using -r16 try -r3  because all you need is your raw kv.bin and its in the first 3 bits ....

It's all down to a load of factors - PC setup, LPT voltages, NandPro version, Bolshy 360's, bad soldering, floating grounds etc - the list of things that can go wrong are pretty much endless. The power strip wouldn't effect the 360 I think, the PSU/360 should be passing regulated voltage to the old Nandage.

Right managed to get pretty much everything done now. Ive got freestyle dash and xexmenu on the HDD.

Ive now installed a couple of games to the harddrive. and they seem to work fine. So i decided to go back into xexmenu and now it doesnt work(I Just get a Black Screen, and controller doesnt work either). Freestyle dash does but XEXmenu doesnt. Ive even tried loading it from a CD, same result. If I take my HDD ooff then it will load fine from the CD. Any ideas as to why? Another question I have is, seeing that im using freestyle dash, do i need xexmenu?

Oh almost forgot. If I want to load xellous, i use the remote, and press the media button. The other day i tuned the 360 on using the eject button. All I got was a black screen, nothing else. I had to reset the console and all was ok, but whenever i turn the 360 on using the eject button I get a black screen. Any body got an idea why?


Cheers

bubbles, your jtag solder points are most likely lose check them
