V[]nm6687,Jul 14 2004, 09:00 AM] Ok everyone I think I may have solved this, but I don't have a newer box so I cannot test it.  Like i said before, the downloadable content from Splinter Cell (first one) gives you an XBE that is HDD-signed, but unlike the MA HDD-signed XBE, it has not been fixed by MS so you cannot load the hacked savegame.  This means that we can do exactly what PedrosPad did with MA, but instead we can use the first Splinter Cell and still be able to load a hacked game!  I've cut the original Splinter Cell down to about 200 MB or so, so it fits on the C partition no problem running with only the bare essential files.  This file also does not boot directly from the C drive so it has to be put in the xodash folder and renamed xonlinedash.xbe like PedrosPad did. I'm just wondering though, PedrosPad, will this file work even tho it's timestamp is in 2002?

Since Splinter Cell 1 won't have the Dashboard's title ID, the date won't matter (and it's age predates the SC GameSav exploit so it may mean that the GameSav hasn't been fixed ).  This could be another good candidate .

Does it work on your BIOS? - Does the the GameSav get you into Evox?
If it doesn't work on your BIOS, it won't work on a later one.
If it does work on your BIOS, it has a good chance of working on a later one.

PS. I bet 200MB compresses down really well

This all sounds very interresting, but of course if the HDD flagged xbe is the non-exploitable one it's a no go. I have MA but I'm not on  XBOX!Live so I dont have the HDD engine to test I could start to see if it's possible to strip MA to something like 300-400 MB though. Back to the original topic I made the XBE media flag scanner, but again, as I'm not on XBOX!Live the result from my own scan was not that useful. Currently it locates every xbe in C: and E: and checks the media flag. If its XBE_MEDIA_HDD flagged the certificate will be printed. The log file with first hit looks like this : CODE --------------------------------------------------   Scanning HDD for xbe's with XBE_MEDIA_HDD flag -------------------------------------------------- ---------------- Entering /mnt/C: ---------------- *************************************************************************** Correct Media flag found in : /mnt/C/xodash/update.xbe *************************************************************************** Certificate ~~~~~~~~~~~ Size of certificate                 : 0x000001EC Certificate timestamp               : 0x409BCB24 Fri May  7 17:45:08 2004 Title ID                            : 0xFFFE0000 Title name                          : "Online Updater Application" Alternate title ID's                :        none Allowed media types                 : 0x80000001                                     : XBE_MEDIA_HDD Allowed game regions                : 0x7FFFFFFF                                     : XBE_REGION_US_CANADA                                     : XBE_REGION_JAPAN                                     : XBE_REGION_ELSEWHERE Allowed game rating                 : 0xFFFFFFFF Disk number                         : 0x00000000 Version                             : 0x185EAD00 So, what else would you guys like? To check more file extensions : xip's ? To check X,Y,Z drives ? Let me know and I'll add the changes. Then other users with a (soft)modded xbox could run this to build up a database of HDD flaggged xbe's.

This seems like a really cool app, is there any way of developing a PC version cause I have numerous backups of my whole xbox hdd on my pc and it may be nice to be able to run an app to search within folders in windows...

The only files necessary to get to the menu screen are movies.mgf, text.mgf and of course default.xbe. Without those 2 mgf files I get a blue screen. This would be quite a nice solution if the save game hack still worked cos it loads quick with no movies. Is it possible to exploit those mgf files maybe?

[]V[]nm6687, may have this cracked with SC1.

But if not, your information will help me when I come to look at the MA content.  cheers.

lol, I bet whoever is responsible for all the bugs in MA is smacking themself in head about now... Or Bill's smacking him in the head...?

May be Bill himself is, after all he still codes according to some report

looks like there hasn't been newbie chatter for a while, so here goes:

wouldn't the downloaded content xbe look for support files on the cd rather than in the local dir?

meaning if you ran the hdd default.xbe wouldn't it look for the dvd with movies and other support files? what happens if it doesn't find these files on the dvd drive?

Understandable conclusion, but one already disproved in the posts above.

I have launched the MA .xbe that is HDD Signed with the game files along side it on the HDD. The game does launch however, the true test would be to launch it from a retail bios. This would be impossible at the moment for the entire game will not fit on the c partition.

musta missed it.

is this true for other games to? namely sc?

Hi ldots, good work , Given the problems mkjones found, with DVD2XBOX (and other utils) ticking-all-the-boxes for media types, I think we'll need a way to discard this noise or nearly every XBE will be reported.  Can you discard xbedump outputs that contain the very odd media types (USB, etc)? Also, The X,Y,Z drives are tiny, so there's no harm including them in the search.  I say this because titles like Shemue II has an "Outrun" Easter egg, and I believe this is temporarily cached in X,Y, or Z.

Will try to make these changes. Then some volunteers should try and run this scan.

Raebis, are you reading the same thread as the rest of us?

OK - make some changes to the xbe scanner.

Will scan C,E,X,Y,Z for xbe and xip files.
Will check if they are xbe executables (relevant for xip's)
Will check for the XBE_MEDIA_HDD flag but filter those with the XBE_MEDIA_USB or XBE_MEDIA_ALLOW_UNLOCKED_HDD flag (or both).

Will dump the certificate for those hits to E:\XBE_SCAN.LOG

Procedure for running this would be upload the scan dir. to your modded xbox and run the scan\default.xbe from your dash or filemanager. When it's done reboot and ftp out the E:\XBE_SCAN.LOG files.

PM me if you want to run this scan. It's linux based (open-source) so there shouldn't be any copyright issues.

Did the scan myself but nothing interresting turned up. I havent been on Live though!
