Topic: How Do I Softmod A 1.6 W/ude? (Read 58 times)

mr_chips · « **on:** September 21, 2005, 03:35:00 PM »

So I've done several soft mods myself in the past, except this would be my first time dealing with a 1.6. It's a crystal edition and I've found that it has samsung ram so it is 1.6a.

The only trouble is, I was trying to use XboxHDM w/the UDE font exploit package but got an error 16 after modding it. I think this may be to do with kernel incompatibility. The warning prior to building the drive said it would only support kernels up to 5580 range (but xboxhdm is compatible with v1.6 xboxes). I checked my sys info after recovering the drive and found the Kernel to be:
K: 5838
D: 5960

So does XboxHDM not support this kernel? I'm using a disc I had from a few months back. Is there a newer version which does?

If not, what is the accepted method for softmodding 1.6 xboxes? (note: I don't have any mem cards and would prefer a similar HotSwap method)

Use UXE instead of UDE2. UXE works on all xbox's, period. You can find a uxe-complete pkg on xbins. Or better yet, look for Krayzies NDURE installer. You will need an exploitable game though for it. You would put the stock xbox files into the c: folder of xboxhdm and the gamesave into the e: drive folder. Setup the hard drive in xboxhdm and then load up the game and hacked gamesave and go through the installer. NDURE is currently the most up to date softmod.

thanks, I've heard good things about UXE and it does support my Kernel (the newest there is, according to it's text file

I've give it a shot for sure, and let you guys know if I have any probs. thanks again

Yep, UXE works on ALL xbox's. If you can, use NDURE, not much different but if you are going to upgrade you may as well go all the way.

So I went ahead and did it ,, unfortunately ... still not working. This time I got error 21. After a whole lot of work and undue stress I managed to get it back to virgin.
Maybe I did something wrong?

1) set the UXE as 06 (for drive size thing), set to using 71 fonts.
2) copied the "C" and "E" folders from UXE over to XboxHDM and created an ISO.
3) Burnt the CD, hotswaped & chose to rebuild the drive C + E with those files.

?
any help appreciated.

by the way, I do have splinter cell...I'm going to try NDURE with that. Hopefully it's not just for Mech/007.

Hmmm.... that should have worked. Why not try my suggestion of putting the stock c: drive files in the c: folder on xboxhdm and Krayzies NDURE installer for Splinter Cell in the e: drive. Then load the game and the hacked gamesave, that should work for sure as I have done it dozens of times.

What about the Ndure PC installer. Could'nt you just use that to get your C and E, then put it on with XboxHDM?

I have used Ndure on 1.6 & 1.6b ^ 1.6a no problems I have also used ltools UDE2 which also worked fine no problems.

hey is the Splinter Cell "Platinum Hits" CD compatible with this hack?

deadparrot · « **Reply #9 on:** September 26, 2005, 01:05:00 AM »

Yes, it is. MS released the Platinum Hits version of splinter cell before the exploit was discovered. MA/007 Platinum most likely won't work.

So, I set the xbox aside for a few days, that's why I havent posted about it.

This will sound crazy, but I've formatted over and over again, and still, error 21. It must be detecting the files on the E drive!!

I used the Xboxhdm with slayer's c + e drives , works fine (as it should)

BUT as soon as I dump the NDURE files into the correct directories with it, I get error 21! same files and everything!

I just don't know what can be done.

Edit:
I now believe the problem to be that the slayers dash when combined with the 1.6 + altered E drive gives a nasty error. Unfortunately I never made a backup. I'm not asking for a copy of the 5960 dash, I just need to be pointed in it's direction.
please help

The 5960 dash is on Slayers.

mr_chips · « **Reply #12 on:** September 28, 2005, 05:03:00 PM »

thanks. I was using the slayers from waaaay back

umm, well I hate to be a bother, but i really want to put this thing to rest. I have to get it modded soon.

Slayer's package doesn't have the 5960 kernel/dash. The package on xbins says last modifed : 2004 .
there hasn't been a new release in ages. I just want a name of a package which has stock xbox files from a NEW xbox .. plez anyone

misterhoangdai · « **Reply #14 on:** October 04, 2005, 10:13:00 PM »

it's all the same. you can't change the kernel by switching C drive and i'm pretty sure theres also a 5960 dash in slayers. i got my copy of C from slayers for my xboxhdm and everytime i hotswap my dash is still 5960.
