Just used this first time tonight and it worked first time, can't beleive how easy it is to do.

One question though, how do I get the original msdashboard to work. On other font hacks I would load the xboxdash.xbe into a hex editor and change the font entries to .xft from .xtf. Then re-patch the .xbe using the -font patch and it would work fine. How can I do that using this hack as the font files aren't present or can I put the font files back in the fonts directory ?

Any help appreciated.

if you changed the fonts folder to f0nts you need to hex edit the same change you made into the xbe dash file. So change all fonts instanced to f0nts. No need to sign it with the font key or any other key cuz normally you boot the dash after the kernel has been patched or replaced.
Another option would be to use the shadow C maker and "unmod" your shadow c drive. Then there would be no need to edit the msdash anymore and you can use auto upgrading discs or the m$ multi discs without problems and you Actual C stays completely safe.

Likewise, I' rather the xbox boot up straight into the MXM (or Evodash preferably) rather than him having to go thru the process of waiting while MXM loads before can insert a game disc.  If I was to get this UXE exploit (using either 007 savegame hack, or transferring across while ftp connected on current mxmdash setup) again would I then be able to do a full C: E: etc format with the slayer cd.

I know it sounds like a stupid question, I'd just rather try and make his box boot up straight to the right settings...and dont want to risk having to take out my chip to put in his for a few hours of repairing his box if I was to format....when I first modded his xbox I kinda figured you wouldn't be allowed to format it with a tool like slayers as figured all his xboxspecific info would be messed up and then be nonbootable.

hope you can help.

PS...just to quickly add....from having the UDE exploit installed can I update straight to the UXE manually without having to revert the box back to original state (should a slayer format not be allowed)

I didn't keep the original fonts folder on the Xbox, I backed everything up to my PC then I deleted everything off the c: drive. I then copied the contents of uxe-"updatefonts71" onto the Xbox and it booted perfectly.

I think I understand what you are saying though -

Put the original fonts directory back but call it something else, then hex edit the msdashboard and make sure it looks at the new fonts directory.

Thanks,

Dave

How does one do that with no working savegame exploit on the hdd and no FTP access though?

Dead easy.

I use the 007 gamesave exploit to get the Xbox to reboot in Evox, I then FTP in from my PC and do what I said above.

Reboot and viola it's done.

i was under the impression that the crystal boxes still worked with the 1.7.5 and 1.8 Ltools? others have done it....meybe they are using wrong bios, or just arent waiting for the light to turn green...

Using devz3ro's UXE from the usual place my youngest daughter's christmas prezzie (Pal Xbox Crystal) is now that much more extra special. May I also add it was p*ss easy to do.

Devz3ro, many thanks for all your hard work.
I owe you a big drink.

Merry Christmas. dev and everyone else.

Yeh how is that "SplinterCell (PAL) ...Work in progress" going Musashi? I've been hangin' for it for ages.

[SHARFMAN]

Can I Hotswap and use this utility? I have a PAL Crystal 1.6B with Dash 5960 and Kernal 5835. If so what do I need to do? I have downloaded the fonts and the patchs from the start of this thread, what now?

Do I still need something like Phoenix Bios Loader with this exploit ?

I have tried some copies and it comes up with the "Disk is Dirty Error" when playing the game, but the game boots up fine.

Any ideas ?

Thanks,

Dave

You don't need a bios loader or kernel patcher with UXE but it comes in very handy and can save you a lot of hassle. Since your games are allready working you probably allready using either of the two. If your games give that problem it may indicate the dvd media you are using is not compatible or you have to clear your cache.
