SID 2 is really old. Krayzie 1.1.1 is the best gamesave softmod.

If your dash version isn't 5960 you should upgrade to 5960 by running a post 2004 live enabled game (Halo 2 or later) and start to log on to live - the first thing it will do is update the dash.

You can change the dashboard later on. Start with UnleashX - it's got more features than Evox, including a file manager. Krayzie forces you to take an eeprom backup - make sure you copy it to your PC and back it up.

You can copy games to the hard drive using DVD2Xbox (0.7.8 is the latest version) once the Xbox is softmodded. Don't expect too much though - the stock hard drive only has 4GB on the E partition, and you'll struggle to fit even one game on there. If you want to put lots of games on there you'll need to upgrade the hard drive.

Not sure. It looks similar to the sort of cable you could use to connect your Xbox gamepad to your PC, but I'm fairly certain Microsoft wouldn't use the same cable for the original Xbox and the 360, and that one's definitely a 360 cable, so I'd guess it wouldn't work for you.

I'd use one of these or these, then use a standard USB stick to transfer the gamesave from PC to Xbox. You can also buy the cable with a compatible USB stick, so you don't have to mess about trying to find a USB stick that works (not all USB sticks are compatible with the Xbox).

[Heimdall]

Yes.

Don't use Action Replay, use Xplorer360 beta 6 instead.

[Heimdall]

Did you format the memory card in the Xbox first?

Are you sure it's beta 6, not one of the other versions?

[Heimdall]

Quite the reverse - AR requires drivers, whereas the huge advantage of Xplorer360 is that it requires no drivers - so long as there's a FATX formatted drive attached to your PC it will detect it.

It might be worth trying a couple of different versions of Xplorer360. Beta 6 has always worked for me on a variety of different PCs, but it can't hurt to try different versions in case there's some weird interaction with different PC hardware.

[Heimdall]

Correct. Just plug it into your Xbox controller while MS Dash is running and it will format it automatically.

Ok, I got it working.
I needed to edit the xbreader.ini file from ActionReplay and reinstall the driver.
Where can I get Krayzie 1.1.1 for Splinter Cell @ PAL ?

EDIT: I mean, could you tell me the filename, I can find it myself ;p
A link with an up to date tutorial how to do that would be also useful.

Have a look in the usual places. Auto Xbins will help. Your AV might tell you it has a trojan, but it hasn't.

Look for /XBOX/Console Based Applications/exploits/_Packages/Krayzie Ndure Installer/

Get the 1.1 to 1.1.1 updates here.

Edit: Too slow!

Go for basic install - UnleashX Dash.

That's the only way to do it.    As you've found, you can't load gamesaves directly from the MU.

You have to press A twice - once to select the skin, then again to make it permanent. It's a design feature so that if you choose a skin that doesn't work you just reboot and you have your original skin back again.
