Hello, got a question..couldn't find it on the boards .I recently did a soft mod install on my 1.6 xbox, using krayzies installer. Everything works fine, my G partition shows and everything but my question is...

How do i edit the menu?!? I used auto installer to install emulators, but it's not showing up on the menu...also...if i put games on the G drive, but the games folder is on the F drive. Will i still be able to go to the game menu from the dashboard and play games form the G drive?

Any help would be great! thanks

It's as if your mind were a blackhole.

Though it might be useful to point out that most dashboards have a conspicuously named CONFIGURATION file for setting most of the functionality parameters.

there is no dashboard called slayers. If you want to edit the correct paths for your setup you can edit the the xml or ini file for your dash.

sorry, just heard from a friend he had a slayers dashboard. I got everything to work, the emulators and games are now showing up on the menu. But now, when I try to play a game, the intro loads but then the game itself freezes or doesn't load at all. One of the games loaded once, and it said invalid id or something? I copied these games from my computer hard drive, that was on my friends xbox. Could it be the xml file? the item and config files? The only game that is working is the game that I had originally loaded onto the system which was on the xboxhdm disc...which was soul calibur 2, all the other games won't load..

i re-installed the soft mod, tried evo dash and unleash dash, still no luck. The only game that works is soul calibur 2....which was the game that was burned onto my xboxhdm boot disc! Anyone got any ideas on what could be the problem? I don't think its the games, because they work on my friends xbox...he has a mod chip though...i don't think xboxes like me!

sorry for the dumb question but once i have done the softmod, do i need to hotswap in order to put emulators and xbmc etc. on the xbox by ftp? or can you ftp with the softmod or use installation disks?

Hey krayzie, hope you don't mind if I migrate some of these FAQ's to my Wiki do you?

im using Krayzie_MA_UXE_Installer_Dutch-English_v2.7, and im wondering is it possible to change the eeprom on it? im asking because one of the steps is to unlock the harddrive. can i unlock the hardrive long enough to change the eeprom?

I think you didn't quite get what the eeprom is .....

I'll try to explain it as simple as possible. Beware, I'm no tech guru, so it might get adjusted by the people that really know this stuf ...

- The eeprom is a chip on your motherboard which holds your xbox vital information. Among other stuff, it holds the (un)locking key for the hard disk.

- The info stored on this chip can be extracted and stored as a file. This file will be named eeprom.bin.

- The locking code for each xbox is unique, so you can only lock your harddrive with that specific key.

Krayzie's installer doesn't have 'an eeprom' or even an eeprom.bin file, so it can't be upgraded.

If you're modding your xbox with the standard hdd, you don't have to bother with locking at all. It will lock automatically.

If you're upgrading your harddisk, you need to lock that drive with the locking key from the eeprom the hdd goes into. It can be generated from the eeprom.bin file.

Some general pointers :
- Before any mod attempt, backup your eeprom and put the eeprom.bin file on your PC
- Read up on the relevant tutorials. Some useful links might be in my sig, check the pinned topics / xguides as well.
- Get Krayzie's 2.8 (xbins) (has a feature to backup your eeprom before modding)

yes i understand that, i need to change my eeprom because of live ban on my softmod and was wanting to know if i can do it without installing a chip, because i have to unlock the hardrive to change the eeprom
