Getting Things Straight
« on: July 17, 2003, 10:34:00 AM »

READY FOR A BOOK?

Ok lets colaberate efforts here a bit and set things straight.
For installation instructions please read the .nfo file in notepad or wordpad on the programs mentioned.

Currently these are the dash's that have mainly been used (feel free to post more):

Complex Loader - 1.0-FX
Complex Loader - 1.1-FX
Fee-XEVox [Basicly Evolution X signed]

Also there are the following fonts out there for the font exploit (this may clear some confusion up)
There are two font files in that have been "hacked/fixed".  Typically named Bert and Ernie or Bert and Snuffleupagus.
Heres what it all breaks down to.

If out of the 2 fonts the "large" font file size is alittle over 7Mb = Bert is cheating on ernie font package
If out of the 2 fonts the "large" font file size is alittle over 9Mb = Bert and ernie reloaded font package
If out of the 2 fonts the "large" font file size is alittle over 15mb = Bert and ernie reloaded "experimental" font package


Also there are 2 dll's that can be used with the Complex-Loader dash depending on your kernel.

If you have a 3944 or a 4034 kernel version use the 4034.dll
If you have a 4817 or a 5101 kernel version use the MOD3.dll





Now in order to get things working right you have to use a proper combination of the font to kernel support.
SO far these are what has been found:

Complex Method -

3944
----
If you want to be able to create backups and play backups and your kernel is a 3944 Kernel use:
   Complex-Loader 1.1 with the Bert is cheating on Ernie font package
   ** NOTE ** Remember use the 4034.dll ** NOTE**
If you want to be able to only play backups and your kernel is a 3944 Kernel use:
   Complex-Loader 1.1 with the Bert and ernie reloaded font package
   ** NOTE ** Remember use the 4034.dll ** NOTE**

4034
----
If you want to be able to create backups and play backups and your kernel is a 4034 Kernel use:
   Complex-Loader 1.1 with the Bert is cheating on Ernie font package
   ** NOTE ** Remember use the 4034.dll ** NOTE**
If you want to be able to only play backups and your kernel is a 4034 Kernel use:
   Complex-Loader 1.1 with the Bert and ernie reloaded font package
   ** NOTE ** Remember use the 4034.dll ** NOTE**

4817
----
If you want to be able to create backups and play backups and your kernel is a 4817 Kernel use:
   NOT AVAILABLE AT THE MOMENT
If you want to be able to only play backups and your kernel is a 4817 kernel use:
   Complex-Loader 1.0 with the Bert and ernie reloaded font package
   ** NOTE ** Remember use the MOD3.dll ** NOTE**

5101
----
If you want to be able to create backups and play backups and your kernel is a 5101 kernel use:
   NOT AVAILABLE AT THE MOMENT
If you want to be able to only play backups and your kernel is a 5101 kernel use:
   Complex-Loader 1.0 with the Bert and ernie reloaded font package
   ** NOTE ** Remember use the MOD3.dll ** NOTE**




Evolution-X Method -
** NOTE ** In the Evolution X method all .xbe files must be signed using            ** NOTE **
** NOTE ** the "xbedump xxx -font" command.                        ** NOTE **
** NOTE ** The Complex Loader dash does the signing automatically.                  ** NOTE **
** NOTE ** This is why I have yet to test the much of the Evox Method.   ** NOTE **


3944
----
If you want to be able to create backups and play backups and your kernel is a 3944 Kernel use:
   Free-XEVox [Evolution X] with the Bert is cheating on Ernie font package and XBox Media Player
If you want to be able to only play backups and your kernel is a 3944 Kernel use:
   Free-XEVox [Evolution X] with the Bert and ernie reloaded font package

4034
----
If you want to be able to create backups and play backups and your kernel is a 4034 Kernel use:
   Free-XEVox [Evolution X] with the Bert is cheating on Ernie font package and XBox Media Player
If you want to be able to only play backups and your kernel is a 4034 Kernel use:
   Free-XEVox [Evolution X] with the Bert and ernie reloaded font package

4817
----
If you want to be able to create backups and play backups and your kernel is a 4817 Kernel use:
   NOT AVAILABLE AT THE MOMENT
If you want to be able to only play backups and your kernel is a 4817 kernel use:
   Free-XEVox [Evolution X] with the Bert and ernie reloaded font package

5101
----
If you want to be able to create backups and play backups and your kernel is a 5101 kernel use:
   NOT AVAILABLE AT THE MOMENT
If you want to be able to only play backups and your kernel is a 5101 kernel use:
   Free-XEVox [Evolution X] with the Bert and ernie reloaded font package


** NOTE ** For the 4817 and the 5101 Kerneled XBox's there has been a DVD Drive Authentication Work Around **NOTE **
** NOTE ** discovered which is still in the testing stages.  So far I have only heard of 2 people successfully      ** NOTE **
** NOTE ** being able to create backups with these models.                 **NOTE**
** NOTE ** Once I have successfully tested the process myself I will post the information.         ** NOTE **
** NOTE ** Thank you EdGe7!                        ** NOTE **


** NOTE ** Also there has been identified a "Endless Reboot" Issue pointed out with       ** NOTE **
** NOTE ** the bert is cheating on ernie font package                                                 ** NOTE **
** NOTE ** Be WARNED that if you use this font package and your XBox becomes             ** NOTE **
** NOTE ** unplugged for extended periods of time your XBox                                 ** NOTE **
** NOTE ** may begin rebooting repeatively and not be able to get out of the loop.          ** NOTE **
** NOTE ** Work arounds are still in progress!!                                                                 ** NOTE **

Feel free to post any recent findings ....

Ok here is my experience with above listings:

Kernel 3944

Transferred Bert.xtf and Snuffleupagus.xtf to c/Fonts (Files Extracted from Bert Is Cheating on Ernie)

Transferred !Loader dir and default.xbe to c/ (Files Extracted from Loader.v1.10-FX)

Once rebooted the system comes to black screen and LED flashes Red/Orange/Green repeatedly.

So there is Redled, Region, and 4034.dll in Patches dir, bert and snuf, from BICOE in Fonts dir, and the default.xbe from complex v1.1 in root.  I believe that is followed to a T from above list.  But not reaching complex, please help.  Also if read correctly with complex one can backup and run from HD, without signing xbe's?

Ok did some playing around, and I am able to get complex to boot, if I use the 15mb experiemental font, although, if I place an original game in, and press Y to refresh it crashs.  But thats one step closer, any other ideas.  Also can one use complex as a game ripper in order to save to HD and run?  If not what do I need to do in order to get that to run

Did you use the fonts that were included in the COMPLEX-LOADER V1.1?  
Or the Font from the Bert is Cheating on ernie zip?

Also make sure you rename snuffleupagus to ernie.xtf

On the 3944 and 4034 models you can backup and play games yes....
Other models are still in working process.

Wonder how you go about getting things like this pinned?

Of course once I'm dont testing a few more things this might update about the 4817 models and the Free-Evox methods.
