I have made copies in a new folder of all the original "fresh" dash files I have from a few months back when when I originally backed up my C: and E: drives to do Evox.
As per the instructions, I ran the Base Model Patcher 1012a700 on them, and it says "The File C:Documents and Settings...blah...blah...xboxdash.xbe is not a valid previous version and could be upgraded."
This is the original 1012a700 xboxdash.xbe file. It works when I load it up through evox, no problems. No modifications of any kind have been done to this or any other xap, xip etc file in the xboxdash.1012a700 folder.
I have tried a number of things including copying a new file over from the original backup folder and shortening the path ("C:xboxdash" instead of "C:Docuements and Settings...blah...blah...xboxdash") and to no avail. I'm running XP Pro if that makes a difference.
Is there perhaps an error in the release? I can't seem to figure this one out. I got gcue's Blue Dash patch to work after a few tries, but this isn't the same as editing in notepad and WinXIP'ing yourself.
Any ideas as to why this won't work??
Thanks,
