No offence but you don't sound experienced at all. Apart from that sid is a piece of crap the evox m8 bios and unleashx autoclock settings has nothing to do with the clock loop.

[krayzie]

I'm not all about anger. I just don't like it when people come around here pretending they know stuff and then go around promoting crappy installers. But hey that's just my personal opinion offcourse no hard feelings. If you like it and it works for you ok. I know you're not the only one.
And there currently is no xbox where nkpatcher doesn't work on so it's probably a user error.

PBL=No shadowC or virtual EEprom protections to stop n00bs fucking with important stuff.

NKPatcher = ShadowC + Virtual EEProm + Tray State Booting + more configurable + 12kb file size

NKP > PBL.

[krayzie]

the newest nkpatcher offers countless options: tray state booting (tri and dual), patching back the mskey, full led controll , fan speed controll, bootorders, various shadow c options, shadow eeprom, auto region, virtual dvd drive and not to forget the autoclock setting screen boot when clock is dead. also it is faster then pbl. PBL is just outdated. That's why I never understood SID. It uses so much outdated stuff and barely resembles the current standard of softmods. Also its confusing layout in which noobie people can pick the wrong option and then mess up their softmod just makes me think the installer kinda sucks.

[krizalid]

sounds like i know what i should be using then.

P.S.: SID1 uses Ltools, SID2 uses PBL, and SID3 uses nkpatcher (8 i think).

anyways, i'll give your installer a try, since i like the whole virtual partitions and dvd-rom.

 

[krayzie]

yeah after I critisized the use of pbl to DJB he decided to give nkpatcher a shot and added virtual C support. Never checked out sid 3 but after reading the nfo I really doubt he understands the use of it. Maybe he should visit XS some more so he can see what's really going on in the scene.

Even though Krazie bashed me at the beginning of this whole topic, I'm glad he did. The BEST thing I ever did with my xbox is UNINSTALL SID and Install Krazie's NDURE. It's the next best thing to having a chip. And the loop problem, it just isn't a problem. I purposely unplugged my box before I went to work, came back, and it booted right up. The time was wrong, but There was no loop.

 THANK YOU KRAZIE!!

 I love your Ndure softmod. One question. I have upgraded my HD to a 160 GB. It works fine, but I tried to use NKpatcher67, but there was no G. I enabled it in the settings menu, But there was no way for me to format it. It didn't even come up on my FTP program. It showed up on the dash, but that was it, reading at 00.00mb  I just went back to the nkpatcher option and chose 6. I was missing about 20GB, but I formatted F and everything is fine now. But I would really love to know how to create that  G drive. I fully support and trust all of your work and can't wait for your new releases.

Hate to double post,  but the Ndure installer isn't complicated at all. There is no more tasks involved than any other installer. It seems like a lot because he breaks every little detail down so there's very little room for error.

XBOXHD works great, Even though I have a brand new computer, which doesn't allow me to disable IDE auto detection, but after a few searches, i figured out that i could hotswap it. tried it a few times, then finally, (By accident) I got it to work.

I used a CD-R just to see if it would work and it did. My new computer also has a DVD+-RW drive...You know what that means.

About that hotswapping, in case some is reading and has the same problem (Frozen drive when trying to lock) Plug in the power cable to your new drive, and plug the IDE cable to your new drive so it can be removed VERY easily. Having it loosely in at an angle is good. Just don't damage any connectors. As soon as your computer boots, wait about 1-2 seconds and unplug the cable. (NOT THE POWER) As SOON as you hear the XBOXHD boot CD starting to spin, plug the IDE cable back in. Doesn't have to be Tight, just make sure it is connecting. And it should work fine.
I cut the hell out of my hand on the PC's hard drive doing it though.

I prefer PBL over NKP because I dont use live and NKP has too many damn restrictions. I like having Full controll over something i paid 200 bucks for. That and with PBL i can use what ever i want. NKP wont let me do that. NKP wont let me use some Hacked MS dashes. UIX....Enigma......THC ect.... PBL is wayyy better than NKP if you ask me. But thats just my opinion.

[krayzie]

thank you far sharing your opinion. To clarify again in case people actually believe this crap: There are no restrictions in nkpatcher, all features act as options and can be configured to each ones preference.
Also hacked msdashes most likely work better with a shadowC set instead of none since they use some of the msdash files which are not allways easily locatable in a actual C partition. There are lots of people running nkpatcher and UIX and THC.

[LTools]

Yea there are. NKP restrics Size on the C partition. To half of its original size. But for ppl that dont use XBL then why would you need to. Oh and Krayzie just try some of the Hacked MS dashes and youll see that they dont work. But im done arguing. If you wanna stick up for NKP for some odd reason thats fine. But i prefer PBL and im sticking with it. You cant change my opinion and neither can anyone else. And i am through with this Bitching.

[krayzie]

Trust me I really don't care what you use. what I do care about is people spreading false information. Please go read before you post such nonsense. How many times do I have to tell you that all options can be set to your own preference. If you don't want it to take space off C then simply configure it not to. I don't care for the hacked msdashes as I don't like them but I know for a fact that they can be used fine with nkpatcher. I've been here more then one day you know...


@krizalid: It can be configured just fine. Just go to the xbe exploits pinned topic about nkpatcher. It might look dificult for a beginner but once you'll get it it's actually quite easy. Also DaddyJ made some nice tools to configure nkpatcher. Look at his sig for info.
