It doesn't.
Only clock problem would be if you used one of the first generations of rmenhal's font and somehow messed up your setup (dashboard, PBL). If the clock was not set you could not even boot a retail game to use a game save hack.
The latest update fonts do however set the time (Bigfonts style) if the clock is unset on boot.

Anyway, I consider the dualboot another usefull backdoor - like a game save hack. Let your tray-open xbe by an ftp enabled dashboard that's not used in the regular (tray-closed) setup. That way if you screw up PBL or your default dash, you just boot with the tray open. Ftp in and fix it! Only way this could go wrong is if the update.xbe or the bert-ate-ernie font gets corrupted.

Yeah it suffers no clock issues.


What I meant was if your UDE installation got corrupt (So that it couldn't boot right, went to say, error 21) and the clock went dead as it was like this, the Xbox would always force itself to boot the dashboard, oops! Now you can't boot anything but the corrupt dashboard, and would mean its hotswap time.

I am using bigfonts from february this year and still using same exploit. faced clock loop only two or three times. I would like to test the UDE but I am too lazy and bigfonts is workings as good as modchip for me.

RiceCake is referring to an exceptional set of circumstances that would need to occur.  And even if they did occur, you could still get out of the situation with a hot swap.

Hehe yeah I did that a few days ago and everything is working again biggrin.gif It took me some days to get everything right but it was worth it biggrin.gif

ps : Don't make fun of my ''stable as hell'' line, I've been ther (hell) and it's fucking stable! I'm almost 100% sure the hell is something like The Matrix but running Linux instead of Windows ME (Matrix Edition) like in the ''real matrix'. You'll hear more about it when I'm finished with my research.
It certainley is a nice place to go I've visited the first 6 levels and decided to stay in Sixth Level of Hell( - The City of Dis). Wanna know which level is the best for you? Take the test for yourself here!.

Belive me if something is stable it's hell himself/herself.

to avoid said catastrophic failure, could an xbe on the dvd drive be added to the boot sequence before the hdd one, so that you can make a disc  to help you get out of this? (ala catfish?)

It already supports booting two XBE's, so you can have a 'recovery' dashboard.

I'd say the only catastrophic, unavoidable failure would be something booting incorrectly or a bad application deleting files off C...

Wouldn't the main problem of UDE corruption occur with people trying to update their dash via a game?  In which case it would be xboxdash.xbe which would be stuffed and the only thing which would boot would be a gamesave.

However if it is just some dumbass stuffing up their default modified dashboard, yeah there is the duel-boot recovery option.

If only someone could add the feature to a bios which disabled accidental dashboard updates... smile.gif

I see a potential problem with UDE, at least using ldots package.

If someone trash E:, there would be no way to rescue it except hotswap. The reason is that the dualboot is designed to look for E:. And since E: is trashed, even game save is lost and since one cannot launch ms dash, there is no way to transfer the game save.

Indeed, I don't see a possibly better exploit then UDE.  No realistic risk of clockloop, no real way to mess it up thoroughly, I just don't see any real room for improvement.  Perhaps an exploit that bypasses the need for signed files at all, but that just isn't happening.

I had a power problem a few days ago, so had to turn off my MechFonts..

Meaning back to the Audio Exploit for a few days.

You know what, it wasnt too bad smile.gif I kinda missed it from the old days. It still a great Hack and very simple for noobs (like my DAD!) just a pain to boot... but after weeks of practice you can do it pretty quick..

I havnt got around to it yet smile.gif

Im still on my Font/Audio package (mech fonts) that boots from the "Pheonix" tab, it all works great so I have no real drive to change as yet.

I have plans, when I have time, to change my set up.. but for now this will do smile.gif
