You can't have 2 "run Linux" saves for the same game on the HD...

It gives the option of run linus the old softmod (uxe french) and then Install linus as the new softmod (blackwar), but this is probably why it is screwing it up. So thanks i will try again by deleting it and starting fresh. But that is about the right file size though?

Ahh, it took me a couple minutes to figure out where it was at. Am definatley gonna try this once I get my box back to normal (I screwed up the softmod and can only play games, can't get to the dash.)

If you got it using the clues from my site, then it is the correct one. Yes, mine also says "run linux", I have tried changing this (I had to use an other MA installer and modify it for my needs), but when I try to change the gamesave name, the "gamesave" wont even load up.

It is required that the C: be completely stock (no exploit installed at all) in order for this to work properly.

Also, has anybody had any problems with this latest release yet? If so please post them here or PM me about it so I know if it is safe to move on to the SC installer or not.

i've hotswapped your installer on to my xbox hd. everytime i used AR, the exploits woudn't work(this is before i found your installer). now i kind of did shite a little fu#$%d up. but i did access my drive, the installer is on there, i made a back up of /c and thats it. i used xboxhdm to put your file on during the hotswap. thats what i understood to do, considering AR wouldn't cooperate as i thought it would. now that i have your installer on there via hotswap, i thought it would function the same as any other mech assult/installer. i chose run linux and it says it don't load. i saw recently in another forum that if you have a 1.6, which i have, that you hit x to run linux. But i recall the reply after my first post here, that thats not what i do.
i am burned out from all the reading and frankly confused. what do i do now. its bad enough now that the hotswap ruined my k7s5a motherboard lol. my hd's don't pick up correctly anymore. the hd's weren't even part of the swap. the hd's are fine, i checked in another pc. My Mobo is tweaked out lol. but nothing i want to talk about, i feel ASSANINE enough as it is:P.

k. so i finally got this thing running on my xbox and the first step is to back up eeprom and hd. well, i go to back up my eeprom and i get an error stating that my eeprom cannot be backed up, therefore not allowing me to backup my hd, therefore not allowing me to access unleashx.

any suggestions?

also, do i have to be ftped to my computer at the time of eeprom backup? cuz i wasnt. would that make a diff?

Are you trying to back up this data from your shadowc folder while shadowc is running?

it wount let you back up the eeprom? odd... I have heard many good results from others using that app to backup the eeprom, and that is why I stuck with it. In order to contunue using the installer, the backup is not required, its optional, but its a good idea to do so. If you want to install the exploit on a stock xbox that has never been opened before, just go into stock HD options and then hit stock HD install. the installer will walk you through the rest.

as for the bonus thing, it is not included yet, I want to be sure that almost all of the kinks are worked out in MA and SC is done, and then the bonus will be added in. The bonus itself is nothing big or special at all, more of an addition to get the xbox play DVD movies after the package is ran. This is to help newbs out that wish to softmod there xbox just to play dvd movies. BUT, to warn you, I am not 100% rock solid on the dvd player software. If the software pushes the size over the 8MB mark, then it will not be included. I hav intended this installer to mainly be newb safe and friendly, and easy to use and to get on the xbox by AR software, which means that the size cannot be over the 8MB mark (not everybody has a 16MB memory card or a thumbdrive to use on the xbox).

the 2 tier backup worked for me!
1st backup steps one and 2 ... allowed me to ftp and copy x drive that had C drive and epprom
2nd backup puts copy of epprom in Udata folder in game save so you can transfer it to memory card.
It's hard to know when Newbie's write here .. if they know where or how to backup.
After I do the Blackwar install ... and restart xbox... all the stuff on X drive goes away ... the time to do the 1st backup is as I write above in steps 1 and 2 ... before you proceed to INSTALL ... because after INSTALL ... I think you will be engaging Shadow C ... so do as BlackWar suggests and FTP new xbox to PC ... and after install you will see epprom info when you access MS Dash in Memory Slots.

BlackWar!
Thanks for the heads up about the bonus only being dvd playback ... I use XBMC so I don't need that feature ... and ... I agree with you making the Installer Less than 8 megs should be TOP priority.
Others can always FTP new stuff to their xbox after it's softmodded or use slayer's 2.6 to add apps if they want.
