I can't understand the need for this. Freeboot 0.032 itself removes all Region related limitations, and makes the Xbox360 itself Region Free....

Try reading the post above yours. It's quite clear.

Is there some kind of new region lock because Ive been able to play PAL on my Ntsc jtag with no problem. I don't even have dash-launch. Or maybe its a dash-launch thing...

Honestly, this came from someone over @ 360iso from a quantum theory thread...

'For those of you (on JTAG) having problems with this game, it checks the consoles game region in the code and redirects to certain resources (or a black screen if they don't exist...) the hv patch only gets by the XEX region checks which do not affect the rest of the code, just whether the xex will load.

Add as a plugin to dash launch and the game will magically work (sets dev region 0x7FFF) or just wait for a NA release. I've let the dash launch author know of this issue (it can't be patched by freeboot directly) so hopefully there will be an option in the next dash launch to fix this (btw, you didn't hear it from me! )'

I asked the op if he created this or cared if it was reposted but never heard anything back from him.
Too bad the game blew but I was very happy my box was 100% again : )

First let me start by saying that I've had big probs with the content patch (Doing all sorts of strange things untill I had to disable eg; Re-locking unlocked XBLA titles {woot!} and re-corrupting previosly unbanned profiles - yes seriously !)

 That aside,

My understanding about the region patch has been stated previously by me and others (I have nothing to add on that one) The locking used by M$ allows them (using a code a few bytes long) to pick and choose exactly who gets what in any given country and sometimes regions within that country. Some countries/regions have regulations etc.. that may mean that what they sell is deregulated perhaps by law or by contract or whatever. It's possible that an xex might in theory be checking that code against whatever the publisher/producer/programmer  desire it to(The mind boggles on that one, it could explain a lot if it were made to look for disc specifics tho)

I have never had amy probs using HDMI as I'm pretty sure that's international standard like USB or SATA (Mind you in my xp with composite cathode ray tubes that require NTSC or PAL signal that a PAL VDU is more likely to also do NTSC than an NTSC do PAL) The type of region locking that has been patched gives a specific error in NXE window explaining game region is allowed in ur 'zone' etc..


Try changing ur dashlaunch settings with the new installer options, try no dashlaunch at all perhaps (with patched xex obviously) to confirm where problem lies.


XBLA DLC is different kettle of fish: Expecting NTSC zoned stuff to work with PAL/EU release of game (for ex sample) might be asking a bit much as they are more than likely different in other ways - Completely different build etc..)

BTW I don't think ISO2God does region patching - Try normal extracted files 1st if you can then rebuild into GOD. but No.1 thing to try/eliminate would be the content patch (turn it off leave region on ..)

EDIT: I know I've gone over much of the same ground covered better by  cory1492 in previous post(and the above that I think got posted while I was doing long winded answer) but somehow I managed not to read before writing the above Doh' ...
