Some asshole is selling your CD installer on Ebay

[The.Invisible.Guy]

I have a problem with the Evolution X, i'm from europe and i try to watch a DVD from the US but when i put it, the EvoX start looping, it try to read the DVD but after goes to the Dashboard, and after the Dashboard it try to read the DVD (and keep doing the samething), i disabled the DVD autorun. And if i try to use the first option of the Evox (Launch DVD) it happen the samething but if i use the MS Dashboard with the hack for region free i can watch the movie without any problem.

What is the software the Evox is using to read DVD movies?

I'm sorry about my bad english

Hi! when could we get a new version of SlaYer's EvoX Auto-Installer with the software updated and with XBMC?

you dont have to wait you can go to #xbins on efnet and download whatever software you want to update and replace it on your xbox via ftp....but i bet you have no idea how to even start that though  (hint: use search   )

QUOTE (jusluv2play @ Jan 6 2004, 02:18 AM) All right here we go, I was able to download and correctly burn the Slayers ISO and can boot up to the main Slayers menu. Then after I click on the Restore Retail Xbox HD to Factory and reboot to the Slayers menu, I click on number 4 Rebuild Retail HD on v1.x system and run the Rebuild v1.x retail HD-4920 and take the disc out and reboot, I still come up with Error 13. Am I missing something here?  Is 4976.02 the problem here???  In the readme, it says to use 4977.    Did I answer my own question???  I will try to upgrade the bios and check.    The most likely cause of this is bad media, meaning you may not have used a "NEW" CD-RW or DVD-R to burn the installer ISO to. another problem may be you have a Thomson DVD drive in the Xbox and are know for not reading burned media correctly. there are ways around this problem using a PC dvd drive to install with or burning the ISO to a DVD-R should fix your problem. SS113

Got it all lined out.  No media problem or drive issue.  It was the fact that I was using the 4976.02 bios.

I put on the 4979.67 bios and it went through with no problems.   So in the end, just an old bios.

Anyway it is a great app, just wish it had the option included to choose between dongle free and regular dvd playback.

I, for one, can't stand using a regular controller to navigate dvd's.

Firstly Great installer tool. but just a question whats going on in the irc help channel ? I used to go in there for a good laugh and joke but the series of numbskull attacks that have been occuring in there is getting beyond a joke, those guys in there as op's do mostly a sterling job and do it for the love of it "or if they get paid they keep it real quiet" and some of the usual "faces" appear to have dissapeared ? eg evrready isnt in nearly as much and Scotsman "who helped me out in great detail/even though im thick when it comes to the xbox" these guys all appear to have just left, and this aint good for the channel, we are now left with only the likes of SS113 who although knows his xboxes can be a reall grumpy sod towards the noobs whats going on in truth ? we hear rumours, but nothing solid  There also appear to be some spamming going on. Is the time of the slayers installer coming to pass, I hope not, but he himself "slayers" is nowhere to be seen very often, the leader should lead by example.

It is amazing to see that everyone assumes we have a responsibility to help out all the time and do it with a smile.

Why?  Becasue they are focusing on their individual lives and in the little time they have to spare they update their products or release new ones to benefit all of us.

Unlike the mod chip teams which can make money selling their chips and can afford to be there all the time answering forum posts from their customers, myself and the OPs in the #slayers channel do this as a hobby and out of the goodness of our hearts.  We've never seen a penny for all our hard work.

Only a handfull of people out of the tens of thousands that have download the free installer from the IRC channel and recived help there have become OPs and have ever tried to help the rest.

We all have lives, jobs and bills to pay and people should be happy that we do as much as we have done instead of criticizing.

Remember to respect the OPs for sacrificing their precious time and all their volunteer efforts by asking educated questions and not driving them crazy.

Now go and have some fun with your xbox!

QUOTE You do not see team EvoX or any of the major contributors in the scene setting up live channels, promoting OPs and allowing people to help themselves to both assistance and all the tools they want for over a year straight. Ok, just come to #evolutionx ..... Here you'll find around 10 ppl and a nice help bot, serving in 6 languages... We are helping not only on evox, but on all homebrew. We are even asking noobs to test all dashboards around.... [email protected]

Jokko,

You are correct and I stand corrected on that point.  I admit that I have overreacted and was missinformed, not to mention a little upset, but not at Team EvoX.

I have fully embraced EvoX, made it the core of the installer and helped promote it as the best dash almost since it's inception.

I have never had a "large ego issue" like you said to Scotsman in our channel, nor did I ever take credit for anyone else's work.  Feel free to read the docs...

In the future, if you have a problem with something that I said, please be so kind as to IM me or email me directly rather then be rude on the channel, curse and insult the OPs.   Also, to answer your question, I am not their boss as they do not get payed for this, they do it out of the kindness of their hearts.

Looks like it has been pulled, not in their database any longer.

LOL, I know, I sent them an email

On a note back to topic - Slayer is the upgrading for the 256k modchip bios stable enough to do? I havent really felt a need to update, but im finally giving in, and im just curious how well tested it is (yes i've read the disclaimers etc.) But i'd like to hear it from the man himself

[dvl]

Hey, slayer, I have a question.  I put a 160gb maxtor into my box, but it will only recognize 120gb.  I know your installer has a patch for breaking the 137gb limit, so why can't I get mine to format givin the options on slayers 2.5?  Is there something that I need to change in the ini?

the only problem I have is when I try the four button combo to escape out of applications or games it just goes to a black screen and freezes.  I have to turn off/turn on the xbox every time.  Please help and thanks for the installer!

are you using an xecuter bios? if so turn off IGR in your evox as thats probably whats causing your crashes/black screens. its because of an incompatability of the IGR being on dash and bios at the same time. i belive there are 3 IGR on/off switches in the older versions of evo-x and 1 on/off in the newest one.

Sadly reminds me of how it is on XBC On a note back to topic - Slayer is the upgrading for the 256k modchip bios stable enough to do?

Well, the X2 4981 was just released and in my mind it should be the best due to the anti XBL code.

Untill the bios modding tools catch up however I will not test it... give it another week or so and ask me then

It's either a bios problem (you need one with +137GB support) or a jumper on your HD, check carefully.

I love your software, it's a big help to just hand to friends and tell them to install evox (saves me the time)
