7. Rename xbox.xtf and xbox book.xtf to xbox.xft and xbox book.xft

Could someone clarify this for me?

Do you rename the ORIGINAL xtf files? Or the renamed Ernie and Snuffelupagus files? Or do you put the files in the new directory that holds the new xboxdash.xbe?

This DOES work with the Bert is Cheating exploit, right?

erikman · « **Reply #38 on:** July 08, 2003, 02:26:00 PM »

How can this fix the clock problem when evox does´nt even boot in the first place? The xbox will still try to load the original xboxdash.xbe on c:, if the clock needs to be set. Or am i missing something?

This does no seem seem to work for my dashboard. I cannot find anything at the address given and if i search for 7800740066 in hex all I find is 4 references to .xtf files but not what is described here.

evox loads and tryes to reload the m$ dash to set the time. editing the ini or using this hack fixes it.

erikman · « **Reply #41 on:** July 08, 2003, 03:18:00 PM »

luther349: Ok. I thought the xbox tried to launch the clock settings before anything else, inkluding the xploit. But i guess i´m wrong then. Have you actually tried all this, without a modchip?

Machster73 · « **Reply #42 on:** July 08, 2003, 03:23:00 PM »

Maybe I should clarify my last question:

When doing this hack, should you place the 2 new xtf files in the C: drive, and then rename them to xft?

OR

Should you rename the originals to XFT and import the 2 new ones into C:?

OR

Should you place the orignal XTF files in the newly created directory on the E: drive (the one with the modified xboxdash.xbe) and THEN rename them to XFT?

OR

Am I some idiot who is WAY off base?

I tried this and it works.

Although I forgot the exact address I just searched and found. I found two occurences in total but just changed the first one (not sure what the other one is for). This was an old dashboard FYI.

I boot up with a font-signed evox, and I also signed the edited xboxdash.xbe. Works fine!

You can rename the modified xboxdash.xbe to something like msxboxdash.xbe and keep it in C: then edit evox.ini so it runs it. Make sure you set those options to No so it doesn't try to set the clock on bootup. I wonder though... since now it has an edited dash in the evox.ini, would it actually go to the time set menu now correctly? It would be interesting to try - will try later if someone else does not first. (I can experiment easily without risking my xbox because I have X2 Pro in it).

I also looked at the 4920 xboxdash.xbe and found four occurences of the XTF. I did not test 4920 yet because my test-xbox only has old dashboard for now.

For those that are having problems finding the XTF, it is in unicode and has 00's in-between each letter. Download this program (it is free) and search for XTF but select the unicode option and it will find no problem.

Good work Kraken in discovering this

lethalfrog · « **Reply #44 on:** July 08, 2003, 03:48:00 PM »

I replaced all the xtf references in 4920 but it did not work. Though for clarity where are the xft fonts meant to be installed for this work.

On my box I create e:appssparedashxboxdash.xbe in relation to this where should the xft files be copied.

At the moment the "Spare" dash boots as I see the X logo but then I get Error 21.

Cheers
