I've been reading for the last few weeks that the MI or modified MI fonts are very good but don't always work, my own experience is that these fonts always work, but I think people who are considering going over to this exploit would like to know how good the fonts are???

EDIT: I know, I forgot to put in an option for "the fonts don't work", I've asked the moderator to amend the options.

I thought there was a similar poll like this on the maxconsole forums. Anyway it would be interesting if people posted their xbox version along with kernel version along their vote.

my experience sofar ( I have done 5 boxes with the fonts) bios 3944 & 4034 - Perfect!! loops maybe 2 times bios 5101 - not so good. Had a 1.5 hour bootloop on the only one ive done so far

Fonts being mech fonts or just fonts in general?

If they are the mech fonts not to sound like a prick but do you get the modified ms-dash when the xbox boots with the xbox-live tabed renamed?  (Just want to make sure)

I tried getting in a clock loop with various versions and the only one givin me problems was also a 5101 but it took only three boots to get to the clock screen and i didn't had a network cable plugged in.

I added it but next time look I think you can edit it yourself.

If you mean the Catfish fonts then my xbox went straight to the clock setup screen on the only time I attempted it.  Catifsh has raised the bar with the alterations he's made.

Anyone know what alterations Catfish has made?

both security checks have been disabled and a few minor adjustments to the xbe launch order/locations

The best way to avoid a long clock-loop is to turn it off if it loops once, then power on with the eject button. Doing it this way I have never looped more than 3 times, and most go to clock screen on the first boot.

Good stuff, be interested in any others with 5101 kernels.

And as Wooger stated, this poll is only interested in the Mechinstaller type fonts, i.e. XBOX LIVE tab changes to EVOX or PHOENIX on the MS Dash.


Krayzie: I saw a pole on Maxconsole also, but it didn't have very many votes and seemed to be more centred on where the fonts were downloaded from.

[Dunny]

who voted they cant get out of the loop?

EDIT POST REMOVED, refered to 25/7 fonts and was unaware those weren't around when MI was out.

[SpIdErXeN]

Mine usually loops for 1/2 hour spans...it sucks sometimes, other times it comes right out of the loop.  I'm using the bigfontz25 rls.  You guys know where I can find the MA fonts?  I didn't see them in the "usual places".

Clock loops have nothing to do with the fonts. It all depends on the Xbox.

[krayzie]

Dude even though your msdash is also in your E partition it isn't the dash the xbox uses to boot up. When there is an update the msdash on your c will be updated.
Anyway the mechfonts only change the tab only in memory so they don't actually change the dashfile. They also prevent upgrades of the dash so you don't have to be afraid of your system become dead. You don't need to hex edit the fonts cuz it uses the dashfile on the c directory and don't tell me it's not there cuz it is.

I did have a problem w/ loops but I changed my dah to unleashx and use big fonts.  Now I rarely get a loop.  If it does loop, it only does it once.  Never more than that.
