If you don't need a loader, what hassles does it save you by having one ?

[Dave B]

Can't get PBL to work, presume am using the wrong BIOS.

Anyway been going through a selection of games and only 2 have failed so far with the "Dirty Disc Error", Incredibles and Driver 3. The new Tony Hawks game and Turtles 2 worked fine.

this is pretty interesting, since my box got banned i whipped my c drive and ftpd uxe  to c and what do ya know boots right to evox with chip turned off, now comes the scarey part, ill have to check out the ini first cause F dont show up if enabling it in the ini works cool, if not and i have to format an F what will happen cause i already have an F and G when the chip is turned on, i dont want to end up whipping my F

yea i can just use the chip but i was just wondering if ill end up whipping it formating an F without the chip turned on

this is really cool though, just if you dont have a chip or a friend with a chip to gain some ftp acces youll need mech assualt or splinter cell to use the save hack so you can get ftp,

If your mod-chip shows an F and G drive - it's flashed with an xxxxBIOS67 (F as partition 6,and G as partition 7).
Get UXE to chain to NKPatcher10-67, or use PBL to load an 67 BFM BIOS, and you should see your existing F & G drives again.  You shouldn't need to format them again.

OK, I found a guide "The Art Of Hotswapping"  I have a 1.6B Pal Crystal Xbox, I have downloaded the UXE zip file (from the usual place) with font folders 61 and 71.

If I use XboxHDM do I:

1 Put the contents of the fonts folder from UXE zip in C of XboxHDM folder (try 71 then 61)
2 Create (Using make-win-iso.bat) Burn off the ISO etc,
3 Hotswap (recreate C from Xboxhdm ISO as created above),
4 Boot Xbox (hopefully from expoit)
5 Obtain EEPROM.bin using Evox's backup (in case of emergencies)

Is that me done?

Am I now ready to play backups?

Or is this just the start?

Sorry bout needing this clarification but I am a total muppett and a bit scared as I have already stuffed up soldering my chip in. (Hence the softmod)

Looks good, you should be ready to do anything your wanting to do with it now.

But the search button and/or actually reading up a bit might have awnserd not only this, but alot more questions u might have.

[anjilslaire]

1.6 can be upgraded like any other, afaik.

[NICNAC]

I am having problems with this exploit,

I have a 1.6 pal xbox, I know that this should be irrelevant when using UXE.

I have managed to ftp the correct(i think) files and fonts etc to the c drive.

but I get an error 21.

I have tried all sorts of combinations, I used the tutorial found here http://www.jacobmp.d...ding/uxemod.php

I recently did a 1.2 model xbox no probs.

Please help!

[NICNAC]

I got it

Final Tut: Uxe Via Gamesave Ftp

Frackin' awsome.

My box is now softmodded.

cheers

hi i have a question, with other exploit, like the UDE and many others. I can able to still launch my ms dashboard if i select it in my new dashboard "unleashx". But when i use the UXE, when i click on the dashboard it doesnt do anything, my question here is, can i be able to use that function on the UXE exploit trick. thank you

These probably have obvious answers that I'm missing, but here goes anyways.

Would bad things happen (probable) if I placed the original fonts in the same folder as the hacked ones?

I guess I just don't really understand fully how the font files relate to the workings of UXE and the hacked update.xbe.  Am I correct in thinking that the bert and ernie fonts are called by xboxdash.xbe, and by using an overflow, jump to a piece of code that loads the bios (metoo-m8-plus for example)?  If this is the case, then is it coded into the hacked update.xbe where to look for those font files (bert and ernie), and so changeable, just like the msdash via hex editing?  

Just seems like it would be more useful if UXE loaded the hacked fonts from some other folder, and left the originals where they were, though being excellent programmers, I'm sure there is a reason behind this.

Anyways, thanks for any info (and the exploit).

yup update.xbe cannot be edited since that would brake the signature.
And no the fonts don't contain any key so don't have to be signed.
The thing that is so special about the UXE update.xbe is that it's able to boot on any xbox kernel and any xbox region as where other update.xbe's fail.
