When UDE2 is installed on Xbox 1.6, will *every* game run without problems?  Has anyone encountered a game that won't run?

i believe there are a few games in question, but they are far and few between,
if you ever notice that games arnt running, that were running,  try deleting your "cache" folder.

I have UDE2 on my 1.6. When I used my stock HDD, everything ran without problems. When I put in an old 20GB HDD (formatted and locked with XboxHDM 1.9), Metal Slug 3 would no longer run on my HDD, or on disc. I cleared my caches (all 4 of them), deleted my saves, and it still didn't work. I read around and saw that when some E drives are formatted with XboxHDM, it prevents them from working, so I decided I need to reformat my E drive. I made an evox boot disc with the code to format E only, and for some reason, it wouldn't format my E drive. So I then tried with unleashX, and the same thing happened; it wouldn't format my E drive.

To this day, i still haven't gotten Metal Slug 3 to run on my Xbox HDD or from disc. All my other games run fine, but for some reason Metal Slug 3 doesn't.

I'm using FBL and the pblmetoo bios (Evox M8 with IGR and LBA48 (.06))

I'd say you don't really have to worry about too many games not working.

Have you tried formating your E drive with Slayers?

i remember a few games that wouldn't work. as before mentioned, Crimson Skies. Other than that, Conflict Desert Storm 2 didn't work unless you were running the M7 bios. (weird) and Enter the Matrix doesn't like working either, some said it worked with the M7 but im not sure if i tested that. (Enter the Matrix also has issues running because the long file names, but i definatly tested it running from an original dvd, and it wouldn't load once PBL was going)

i'd like to know if someone that has access to these games could try them out on a 1.6 machine running M8.

in regards to formating your drives, try this:

after you have UDE2 all installed and working, boot into evox and backup your entire C: and E: then format ALL your drives thru the ftp commands. ie Formatpath \Device\Harddisk0\Partition1 then formatdrive with the provided key (search the forums for more info on that. and once you have formated all 6 partitions reload your C: and E:

MAKE SURE YOU DON'T REBOOT IN BETWEEN!

I remember testing enter the matrix with the evox m7 bios and it worked as where it didn't with the x2 bioses. I just tested it with the evox m8 bios and it didn't work (maybe something to do with the added IGR). also tested crimson skies with m8 with no results. I can remember though that I tested it with a test version of m8/metoo Rmenhal sent me (the one where NFSU wouldn't work) I could play Crimson skies just fine (only played the first level partly). Too bad I can't find that version anymore to verify that again.

[total_ass]

does anyone by any chance have a list of games that do not work with the UDE and BFM bioses?

[krayzie]

again the UDE has nothing to do with games not working. The games that have problems with bios loaders OR some versions of bioses are to my knowledge just
Crimson Skies and Enter the matrix. I never heard of other games related to this problems.

[total_ass]

does anyone know if anyone has ever got these games working?

also, what if MS starts making all of their games incompatible with BFM bioses

then soft-modding gamers will be screwed.

[krayzie]

like mentioned a lot of times before. Crimson skies works fine with the nkpatcher. Another fix would be launching the game from an old version evox. To get enter the matrix working just use the M7 bios or maybe for the 1.6 xboxes the nkpatcher (have't tested this but I think it should work).
Also it's not like M$ is intentionally creating games that don't work with bfm bioses. And if they ever find a way how to do that I'm sure there would follow a fix soon to.

[YoshiKool]

nkpatcher is used as a replacement for PBL. if you ran it after PBL, it would probably crash because of the different layout of the BIOS you had loaded.

[krayzie]

No AFAIK running the nkpatcher as an app after you loaded a hacked bios would not work. You can ofcourse load nkpatcher as an app on a "retail" bios. Running the old evox as an app works fine however to fix the CS problem.

[total_ass]

someone needs to make a definitive permanent way of fixing these games.

I can confirm this. Using PBL-Lite and 4981.67 bfm

[krayzie]

nobody knows. It seems the old dash changes the memory layout or something.

[triggernum5]

Thats what I was led to believe about the memory..  I ran it directly through XSelector as well without a problem, and its memory usage is extremely small like evox.
