Hello all,

I attempted the Ndure softmod today and it worked great. Well, for some reason I thought I needed to try the Sid 4.0 install. I followed everything by the books. But, when I got the point to restart system and press "a" to finish the install it would freeze on me. So, I dedided to go through and unistall the softmod and all that stuff. Well now i'm stuck inthe Evoloution dashboard. Not the EvoX, but the blue one that just has the options of "Launch Game" and "System Settings". I would like to get back my M$ dashboard and try this again, but through this evolution dash, I cant even reach my harddrive. Any suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Cody

hey, cereal...

man, is this a big file. Anyhow, im so anxious and cant wait any longer. What exactly do I do with the files once downloaded? I unfortunately don't have a DVDburner, but I have a cdrw. I actually happen to have 1 blank cdrw disk. Do I use a program such as Nero and just burn the contents to the disk? Again, any help is much appreciated.

And, so I dont piss anybody else off, mods, I'll go through and read every rule. As being brand spanking new to themodding scene, I would like to soak in every peice of info needed...the right way. Thanks again for the link cereal, hope all works out once its downloaded!

Thanks,
Cody

P.S. (yes I have the manual in pdf form, but I didn't see it in there..so if im missing it, could someone please reference me to where its located in the manual? e.g. pg #?... thanks)

After you have all the files just extract the rar files. Then you will have an ISO and some other files. Burn the ISO using Alochol 120% or Nero and burn it as an image.

Then just follow the instructions to remove Ndure and restore the mod. Basically you will boot the gamesave backdoor and select to "remove softmod and restore from disc" then select the correct kernel (take note of it while in the CASH menu) then it will reboot and you can restore C and E and re-install Ndure from the disc. You will have FTP access while CASH is running, backup anything in C and E before you use the options to format to stock+Ndure (gamesaves are in E:\UDATA and E:\TDATA).

cheers

yeah, not to sound extremely dumb... but

There are 8 diffrent parts to the download, each containing its own ISO file. Which do I use or burn to the disk?

Thanks again,
Cody

It's a self-extracting rar, when you extract one rar it extracts them all, so basically just double click on the first rar and select where to extract, it will extract all of the compressed data at once to wherever you choose to extract it to.

well... so far no luck. Everytime it says it went though, but when I load/reload my box again.. bam, same blue screen. I wish I never installed that damn SID 4.0 shit. Oh well, lets have another go again.

Are you booting the gamesave and selecting "restore from rescue disc" and then selecting the fonts? If you don't do that then it still has the Shadow C in place and will prevent the drive from being restored and any option you would run wouldn't work (sounds kinda like what your saying). If you ONLY select "stock+Ndure saves" then it will seem to wipe the drive and put all the files on, but you would still boot to the same "recovery dash" that your booting to.

pulawman · « **Reply #11 on:** December 12, 2006, 11:07:00 AM »

that might be my problem. How exactly do I boot the gamesaves? I dont have any game saves now and I have no access to my hdd. I've been going to the setion marketed as "Softmodded with another .... " I then go to Stock + Ndure 1.1.1 saves as you mentioned. I realize now that Im doing it wrong. I read the manual, but it mentions that I have to be able to boot the gamesaves (i'm using splinter cell by the way) and I dont see any way of doing this....

here we go again

Follow section "How to format Ndure v1.1 and go back to Stock+Ndure v1.1.1" on page 17. That's pretty much step by step of what you need to do.

If the gamesave has already been removed it should be there now anyway since you used the "Stock+Ndure v1.1.1".

hey thanks,
I'll go give it a try. I do thank you for your patience in the matter and not throwing the obvious "newb, noob, etc.." remarks. Lets give this another try!

Cereal, I hate to be your burden today, but...

I just started it.. Everything goes well until step six....

I see the games above, but they are "Whitted/grayish" and I cant scroll up to them, only "Back to Main Menu" can be selected. What now?
