Gotta quick question. I have a NTSC-J xbox and a NTSC-J version of Mechassault(not the platinum hits.) Anyways I am using a mega X Key and I have Ltools. Now my problem is when I try to run linux after I choose campaign. The game seems to freeze. I dont even get a error message 21 like everyone else gets. The thing is that the Mega X key was used before on my friends US xbox with no problems so I dont think the file is corrupt. Do I have to change the language back to japanese or something on my xbox. The file is all on there about 460 blocks so it must me. Hummm!!!! Any help. 1 member on this site got me this far(thanks!!!!!!!!) who will help me finish this?thanks in advance!!!!

the UDE only works on NTSC and PAL, not NTSC-J xboxs. even if you used ltools, or installed it yourself. You have to use ConfigMagic to change the region code.

sure it works. The update.xbe the UDE uses has all the region flags.

using the usb stick tut and this tut i was able to get to the installing screen. though i'm getting this error:

correct update.xbe has not bee found. either install dash 4920, 5659, or 5960 or add the update.xbe to the package. connect install ude.

i got the same installation error with both udes.
k: .5101
d: .4920

btw.. used ltools ma 1.7.5

any suggestions? do i need to add update.xbe (hopefully in the usual spots) to their package?

What version is your xboxdash? Go to Settings > System Info in msdash, and note the D number. Might as well note your kernel as well.. If it is below 4920 you will need an xbox live game to update the dash..

Edit: Sorry I see you have 4920.. I've seen this glitch before but haven't solved it. I think it has to do with case sensitivity on the filenames..

Just an assumption

OK, im kinda confused here but what i said before about the update.xbe on the game was just a guess and i dont know if it actually works!

Heres what i did:

Copied the update.xbe from my xbox to my pc via ftp.
Ftpd into my m8s xbox and put the update.xbe into a certain folder (You need to write down the folder that it tells you to put the update.be into when it says it couldnt install)
The tryed intalling again and it worked fine!

So im not sure if this would work but u cud try it but make sure u make backups of everything first.

Ftp into your xbox using ltools installer
Leave the mechassualt disc in and put the update.xbe from the game to your pc
Now upload it to the folder which it says which you wrote down when it says it couldnt install.

If that doesnt work PM me!

i haven't been able to fix the problem yet.. but i'm planning to see if there is an update.xbe file in the slayer evo package and if so ftp that over and test it out.
but i was curious.. now that i have ftp access to my box can i move games and emulators over and would i be able to play them through the ltools installer? by that i mean the dash i can get to before you either install the ude exploits or install mini linux.

Hmm, sorry i 4got to reply to ur PM.

Are you on msn cos i have an idea of how u cud do it?

Also you could do it that way but ud have to keep goin throught the gamesave if u did which would be v.annoyin!

toast4321 · « **Reply #145 on:** September 14, 2004, 07:59:00 PM »

. i got the correct update.xbe file and replaced the update.xbe file on my c drive with it and installed... now to read into the possiblities... and maybe even toss my 40gig hdd in there...

can you still go on xbox live with this mod? by just going to msdash and going to live or will they detect that the box is softmodded and permanantly ban the box?

Just installed a leftover 60GB harddisc, following your tutorial.
Worked great. Thanx m8.
