Can this be done on an xbox without a modchip? If so, do you have to use any exploit before doing this? Is it possible to just drag & drop files to the Xbox after this?

I was thinking about following the Bert and Ernie tutorial, and it says you have to have ftp access first.

Stupid questions maybe. But just want to be sure. I've found a lot of different info in tutorials: like that you have to use Action Replay and stuff (which I assume you shouldn't need if you follow this tutorial?).

Theres no point in having a boot disk, just ftp all of the files to the hd and it will load on its own...

this is a very good guide but can you use it with avalaunch instead of evox ?

mrRobinson · « **Reply #7 on:** March 15, 2004, 10:35:00 AM »

You can make a boot disk with any dash. instead of your default.xbe being evox just have it be ava, etc.

thanks so you would use a slayers disc?

Edit: also do you HAVE to use a cd-rw or would a cd-r work?

No i wouldn't use slayers... I would just put a dash on a disc and boot it...
depends on what you want to accomplish really.
And I would use whatever media my drive supports, go to the general hardware forum and read the pinned topics on media for your drive (thompson, philips, samsung)

You may want to add that a dummy file which is alphabetically later than default.xbe is pretty darn useless. The method used will most likely end up with files starting with "a" getting burned on the disc before files starting with "z".

The purpose of the dummy file is to push the files you want away from the very center/beginning of the disc which is harder to read on poorer dvd drives.

Just say something like call the dummy file 0000000.dat (zeros) to make sure it is first thing onto the disc

I had also missed the fact that you have to change evox to default.xbe.
Thanks for the help!
