Hi,

I'm going to softmod my xbox using UXE, but I had a few questions.
I spend the last days reading forums on xbox-scene about softmodding, and this is with what I ended:

I have a MechAssault save on a Memcard and the UXE-Complete V0.2 Package.
When I got FTP access to my xbox via a MechAssault savegamehack I make a backup of my eeprom, bios C & E Drive.
Then I delete everthing on my C: drive and copy the UXE complete C:\ replace in it my C should look like this.

+C:\
+
+--[fonts]
+------|- bert-generic.xtf
+------|- ernie.xtf
+------|-[nk]
+----------|-devz3ro
+----------|-nkpatcher.xbe
+----------|-[apps]
+----------------|- [detacher]
+-----------------------|-default.xbe
+----------------|- [isoripper]
+-----------------------|-backup.cfg
+-----------------------|-default.xbe
+----------------|- [shadowcmaker]
+-----------------------|-default.xbe
+----------|-[dashboard]
+----------------|-default.xbe
+----------------|-evox.ini
+----------------|-[skin]
+---------------------|-Skin stuff etc.  
+--xboxdash.xbe

And then my xbox is ready?
I don t get it there it is so little files and the old files are still needed, aren t they?

And isnt there something that need to be placed on e:\??  like a bios?
And do I got all files neccecary? Ive got :  UXE-Complete V0.2 and The savegamehack.

btw my xbox is V1.6 kernel 5838

Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

"Your homework does you justice."
Lord_Vader's post is about the shortest and clearest tutorial I've seen recently - lol.

Ok,

Ive downloaded the update and installed the 71 fonts and the nk patch so tomorrow(I dont have time now )I erease my C and put everything in the folder  Uxe C Replace in my C. If everything goes o.k. Evox should boot and I can play bacup games and place things like XBMC on E, right???
If things dont go right I can just place the bacup back or install the 61 fonts.

exactly! it's so easy it makes you wonder why there are so many questions from people who have broken their xboxes....but fyi, it's the people that don't do their homework that end up with problems, you seem to be doing fine.

with your new xbox, the 71 fonts should work just fine

[anjilslaire]

Nope. It's a batch file that just does it. You can check the timestamp of the font files in the fonts dir if you want, but it just does its thing. Now install your exploit.

I have a question regarding the running of the 71-fonts-install.bat. The message says "This will install 71-fonts. Press any key to continue..." Ok I push enter and the screen just disappears. Is that right? I was expecting something like a verification message saying something like successful or done.

[cmiz]

just as a bit of a side note....if you're using a bigger hard drive, you don't necessarily need to use the 67 version of nkpatcher. that will give you an F and a G drive. you can use the 06 version if you only want an F drive and don't want to need to deal with a seperate G drive.

**the only time you actually NEED to use the 67 version (both F and G drives) is if you are going to use a hard drive bigger than 250 GB because then the partitions would be too big for the xbox to handle

[Lord_Vader]

oh, tnx cmiz.
I didnt know that, a long time ago I read a tut on xbox-scene, which said that the partitions can handle 137 Gigz max. I think thats why I always thought is was 137 and not 250

250 isnt a physical limitation, but it seems partitions bigger than this corrupt easier.

Hi,

I did it.
And I done it succesfully.
I put the story here how ive done it, if there are any more newbies they can read this.

First Ive downloaded the following files:
- uxe-complete-v0.2.1.bz2
- MechAssault savegamehack

and thats it if you need to know where Ive downloaded the files you can always PM me.

After that I went to a friens house, asked him to copy the mechassault save to his xbox and copy it to my memcard.

I inserted the game and loaded Run Linux. Evox booted, I FTPed into my xbox and made a backup of my C partition.

Then I unzipped the uxe-complete v0.2.1 package and read the readme. I installed the 71-fonts cause they must be tried first and installed the nkpatcher-06 because I use a stock harddrive.
I FTPed into my xbox and deleted everthing on the C: partition
Right the millisecond after that I copyed all the files in the uxe-c-replace folder to my C (the files, not the folder itself )
Shutdown mu xbox, count to five and turned it back on.

Evox booted. The mod was done!!!!!
My xbox tree was now:
+C:\
+
+--[fonts]
+------|- bert-generic.xtf
+------|- ernie.xtf
+------|-[nk]
+----------|-devz3ro
+----------|-nkpatcher.xbe
+----------|-[apps]
+----------------|- [detacher]
+-----------------------|-default.xbe
+----------------|- [isoripper]
+-----------------------|-backup.cfg
+-----------------------|-default.xbe
+----------------|- [shadowcmaker]
+-----------------------|-default.xbe
+----------|-[dashboard]
+----------------|-default.xbe
+----------------|-evox.ini
+----------------|-[skin]
+---------------------|-Skin stuff etc.
+--xboxdash.xbe


I did other optional things after that, it isnt neccesary. I updated the evox with a newer version and made a menu tree to my likings.
Copyed emulators, roms, homebrew, XBMC, linksboks and more stuff to my E: drive. Installed more skins trainers.....

Thats it!!!! xbox is like a new machine!!!!!
 

Im going to write a tutorial soon which explains newbies clearer how to install uxe.
NOTE:I used a memcard to get the savegame on your xbox, if you prefer hotswapping or some other read the tuts and forums about that.
