UPDATE!

Okay just to clarify for everybody:

ltools is available at
/XBOX/Operating Systems/linux/distributions/ltools/
and it is a great package but DO NOT USE IT IN COMBINATION WITH THIS TUTORIAL!

This tut is ONLY for people that don't want or can't use a uxe autoinstaller such as http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=320156 or http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=227528.
The gamesave packages that are used with this tutorial are:

/XBOX/exploits/_Packages/Mechassault_save_With_Evox/
/XBOX/exploits/_Packages/Splintercell_save_With_Evox/
/XBOX/exploits/_Packages/007_With_Evox_Installer/

Actually I had tried to use /XBOX/exploits/_Packages/Splintercell_save_With_Evox/. But splinter_cell_exploit-ntsc unrar to two folders instead of part 1 and part 2, which could not be recognized by and be saved on the AR card. Then I found the Itools and it worked for the AR.

Just a few Q's about this..

I'm new to the softmodding scene, only bought an xbox a few weeks back.

Firstly, It's a 1.6 PAL
Manufacture date: 2004-10-7
K:5838
D:5960

Now i've played Halo 2 on XBox live - therefore updating to the latest dash etc?

I've read in some places that this will stop the softmod exploits from working, is this the case or can I continue on softmodding it as per this guide?

Anyone got this working on an AUS PAL 1.6 box? If so, what game did you use?
Finding it hard to get my hands on an old copy of MA, but if SC will work fine that's no problem getting a copy.

edit: also read games such as topspin and amped 2 cause major problems if trying to play them on a softmodded box, is that true?

nobody can answer any of my questions?

it doesn't matter what dash you have if using UXE.
SC is also an exploitable game
there are no games that caus major troubles. just some games that error but that can easily be fixed by using nkpatcher 9 or 10.

great tutorial. thanks.

got all the way evox dash up and running.

however ive hit a hurdle at getting the msdash to load. i ran the patcher and put msdash into c:\ and when i load msdash an original screen comes up saying xbox live is unavailable please try again later, press a button and i go back to evox. any ideas on what is causing this and how to fix it.

thanks.

aussie 1.6(b?) pal.

[atcronin]

nevermind me, guess i got overwhelmed by the number and alternatives of .xbe on the xbox and backed up.

working fine now.

once again nice kiwi tit.

Thanks for the tut, after extensive reading in the forums, I managed to get my first softmod up and running with ease thanks to this

cheers Frieko

Great tutorial; followed it to the letter and softmodded my first box yesterday

Quick question - I used the Splinter Cell PAL save game exploit, am I right in saying he can't play Splinter Cell at all now? Even if it's an NTSC version?

Cheers

After you've used the xbox for a while and you're sure the dashboard exploit is stable, you can go ahead and delete the gamesave and splinter cell will work normally. UXE doesn't rely on the splinter cell save once it's installed.

Got my 1.6 PAL box working with EvoX fine. Patched MSDash and that works fine to.

Only one issue.. In EvoX it shows up that the Bios is unknown, is this normal?

Also, despite EvoX reporting that I have a Seagate drive (10gb), I am unable to use F drive(yes I have tried formatting it). Possibly related back to the bios being unknown?

(on a side note, incase anyone knows the answer - what's the normal operating temp of the XBox? cause evox shows mine running arround 64C even after just being turned on   )

For a softmod

If the F drive enabled?

Turn it Feriheit, normal is between 110F - 130F

Yup... and i know it's enabled because i can see it when FTPing, just cant do anything with it (access denied).

[BoDGie]

Fixed now.

For those of you that come across the same problem, don't bother trying to format in EvoX - it doesn't work.

I used UnleashX and it worked fine.

Hey, what does this mean and how do I do it?

-----
Call it from Evox or other dash and it will access the f0nts folder and load as the regular MS dash. From evox.ini that looks like:

Item "MSDash","c:\msdash.xbe"

In evox.ini you need an item that runs the msdash.exe... Item "MSDash","c:\msdash.xbe"

By default the msdash looks for fonts in the c:\fonts directory - after patched it will look in c:\f0nts\

uhmmm I have a little problem....

I had previously signed up to XBox Live, now I want to cancel my subscription, but it appears the only way I can do that is via the XBox....

The problem is after softmodding network support no longer works in MSDash :/

any words of wisdom on a solution?
