Well, given that its only the dudes like 10th post I am sure its forgivable

If you have Live 2 and want to use this, then downgrade

If you want to use the easter egg exploit, all you will need is the files and FTP access.. Its a cool exploit as it can use Live 2 but, a bit hard to turn on

As for doube-dash, that may work for you too. But it has Reset on Eject issues. So thats up to you

The exploit that has been "born" from the above exploits is the UDE (Ultimate Dash Exploit) again, this is in development.. but looks great

If the guys working on it can work out Live 2 support then I will switch over I expect to make a package as soon as they have some fully tested and finalized code...

Its a very exciting but also confusing time for noobs at the moment! If you want a good solid exploit use one like mine or Mordens, but you need to downgrade.. pain in the arse! but works!

i mean seriously... after working for xbc and all, well, i just wanna have some fun.
btw.. what is the easter egg thing supposed to do, i typed <<EggBox>> with the B in accents, and nothing happened... it just copied like that was the name of the track! D:5659

honestly mkjones... i want something that's minimally invasive,

BOBW is just that My softmod lite is a little bigger so I would stick with this..

i just dont wanna risk turning my xbox into a $200 paper weight if ya know what i mean

Wont happen, as long as you back up C and have a gamesave exploit to get back in via FTP you would have to be a moron to break it

QUOTE

just dont trust fonts, and i really like my ingame audio

These fonts are pretty safe belive me I didnt belive in fonts for almost a year! But now, I am so glad I made the move.. If you follow the instructions you will never get a clock loop!

Just make sure you dont unplug your xbox from the power with the fonts ON!

Also, you could try Mordens audio v3. It has the option of In Game music using something Morden calls the "GameStub" it works quite well but can be a pain Have a look into it!

You need to type "<<EggsBox>>" (with the "B" as that crazy german double s)

[The_Truth]

and double dash does seem a bit hard to implement.

well... ive typed that B (the german one) and nothing happens... i mean.. is it supposed to crash or something... cause it isnt... it just creates an album named <<EggsBox>> (with the german B, i just dont know how to type it on computer..lmao) then i even tried to create a track in that album.. and it doesnt do anything either. um... well, if the easter egg will work, that's the exploit i plan on using, i just dont understand the complexity if it(yes i read the pinned topic). i just dont understand what it's doing... or does it only work with certain versions of the dash, or what. i mean, i love the idea of your package, it's just i still am skeptical of fonts, and that's it, i would rather have to do some button dancing to start say evox, instead of having the risk of a clock loop, and if at all possible now... i just dont wanna have to downgrade my dash, i have read through of the forums, and after all of them i have read, that's the most dangerous part of the whole thing, exchanging the dashes. yes.. i am extremely prone to programming and simple screwups..lol and double dash does seem a bit hard to implement.

what dash version do you have?

This is an interesting issue: Xbox: K: 5101  D: 4920 From Virgin box,  used 007:AUF to FTP in (BACKUP) and install BOBW-ftp package. Did so successfully. Box worked fine. BOBW worked fine. Backups=fine So, then I decided to try and push my luck. I setup a new 120gig WD driver using xboxhdm v1.4..... and PC Copied the original backup'ed dash to the 120gig. Locked it. Worked like an ancient tribal charm. I go to install the BOBW package and I upon completion and restart I get a boot loop. Pull out the files and rename the fonts back, etc..... no more loop. SO, does anyone know of -any- reason why I might be having this issue? It seems to have something to do with the new HDD but what and why? Thanks....

How long did you let it dash loop for, when I first installed BOBW on my original xbox hdd, it looped for a few minutes before it would boot to the dash, but sice it booted to the dash once, it boots first time everytime since *knocks on wood*

Hey again guys,

Since this hack worked so well for me, I've got a lot of friends that are suddenly interested.  One of my friends is planning on trading in his PS2 for an xbox... assuming he probably won't get kernel 4920 (I think that's right...), does this work on any other dashes?  Sorry for the noob question...

Also, could I just mount the slayer's ISO and get the old dash off of it and then FTP it onto his box?  Thanks again guys!

[The_Truth]

sorry for being away so long.. but i have a 5659 dash...
is the exploit even in it?

I'm new to Xbox mods, but familiar with deep PC adn DVD mods, so be patient please... I've loaded all contents of this package, following insturctions carefully, via FTP. Xbox is K: 5101.01 and D: 4920.01, Australian PAL. Xbox boots normally and the "Pheonix" on the live tab comes up but when selected the box tries to boot the soft bios then goes to black.  No messages or graphics show during the process. I've tried manually, via FTP, disabling the fonts and enabling the audio mod sucessfully, i.e. no "pheonix" and the "blank" audio track shows. Triggering the audio exploit produces the same result as the fonts exploit, i.e. tries to boot bios and goes to black screen. Questions: 1. Do I need a particular bios?  To match my box, i.e. am I trying to boot an NTSC bios in a PAL box? 2. Do I need to have the E:\PBL\P.xbe file enabled or not?  Forum post and the readme conflict on this. 3. Am I missing some of the Mordens Audio files?  It's hard to tell as I'm using a Splinter Cell svavegame and EvoX to FTP, its all I have.  Therefore can't follow the "Install Audio Packages" part of the instructions. 4. Do I need to swap the xboxdash and upgrade files as mentioned at the top of the UDE thread?  My reading seems to imply that the exploits rely on the upgrade version of the dash but it's not mentioned here or in the "softmod" threads. Note that I can boot EvoX from the Splinter Cell Savegame and have reliable FTP. Any help would be good... Cheers!

Sorry man, its highly reccomended you upgrade to UDE

If you have FTP access you should be able to work it out

Will try UDE.  Still don't know if the update.xbe is the right version.  I'll xbedump it. The mkjones-softmod package seems to be UDE based.  Is this correct?  If not, any tips on which package would be best? (Or no package and just follow the UDE threads - which fonts?) If softmod is UDE based, I'm still confused, even after all readme and threads, as to wether I have to copy/rename the "update.xbe" file.  I know how to do it but not if I should! Thanks for the quick reply, especially given the posts are a bit old! Cheers!

ltools is the best package for UDE based mods  

Good luck!

[toolwerx]

yeah man, this mod is way dated. id get you xbox to virgin state (you DID backup right?!?) and use ltools to mod. remember its in operating system/linux in the usual places, not exploits.
