I just mod a xbox (K 5101 MDF=2003-10-23) with UXE. Everything works fine.

But when I try to change language in MSDash, I found out that half of the Language selections are gone...(ex, b4 moding it has Chinese in selection, but after moding successe, the Chinese selcetion is gone.)

And then I check the information in Setting, which I found out that the Kernal change it to 5838. ? (everything is from orignial backup of C:\)

Is anyone know why b4 modding, the K is 5101, but after softmod, it turn out to be 5838? And is this the reason which cause half of the MS language selectoin are gone?


Thx!

your kernel looks upgraded since you probably used pbl to load an evox M8 bios which is actually a hacked 5838 kernel.

I know UXE has problems with some languages other then English but I never heard they were gone in the language selection screen. If you wanna have your own language you will have to set up a virtual eeprom and set the language in there to whatever you like. Always leave the original language english.

I see. Thx for the answer.

So is there any way to upgrade the kernel first from 5101 to 5838, then do a softmod?

I think the reason why those language selection are gone might be the patching process. When I patch the msdash.xbe from fonts to f0nts, it only told me  "2 found patched, and usually it should be 4 instead of 2. Is that right?

Thx again for answering.

Just used this guide to mod my first x-box. 1.6 PAL 5838.

Apart from some problems locationg the files needed, everything went smoothly and rather fast.

Just wanted to say thank you for a great tutorial.

you can't upgrade your kernel with softmods. And there is definately no need for it too. Also if you have a lower dash only 2 instances need to be patched. Newer dashes have 4 instances.

I see, so I can't upgrade kernel with softmods, or upgrade it like how I upgrade Live! as well?

Also, what is the usual problems that will happen to orignial MSDash with UXE mod??

Thx for the answer! T_T

In a softmod inviroment, the fonts in c:\fonts get replaced with hacked versions, causing anything that relies on those fonts to error into a #21.

This can be fixed by either hexing your m$ dash, or setting up nkpatcher's drive shadow feature.

Also to note, any network options in MSDash (settings, live, etc.) will cause it to crash back to evox.

Thanks to the poster!

Seems everyone using this has a PAL box, does this work on NTSC boxes as well?  If not, what tut should I follow for a brand new (i think 1.6) NTSC xbox?

it works on all xbox, but it's easier on ntsc to just use idots-ude2.

I may be wrong, but it seems that with the newer xboxes (since x-mas) you need to hot swap for ude2?  I am looking to soft mod my box, but do not want to open it unless I mess up!  I saw a mem card version of ude2 but it seemed to only work on older kernals.  Should I still be looking into ude2?  I am looking to play backup games basically and have no interest in xbox live.

You mix up many things.

UDE2 is an exploit which works on all kernels but only on region 1
Hotswap and Hacked gamesaves (installers)are just ways to install an exploit (like UDE2 or UXE).
