Thanx xman

That was the ticket.  I have been able to get a fully functioning softmod now.  I had thought the virtual dashboard was all that was used.  The more I look at the softmod, the more impressive it is.

Now to start playing with the new capabilities.

I just successfully softmodded my xbox(1.6) using the Ndure through HDM tutorial here. So far everything has worked fine. I'm just a little confused about how to get VGA output working.
The descriptions of the installer were for Ndure 3.0, so they were slightly different. I see a lot of references here to an "E:\NKP11\", but I don't think I have one of those. Can I just create one and transfer some files into it, or do I have to re-mod the system?
If I can just transfer the files what do I do from there? I don't see any VGA options in the settings (I replaced unleashX with XBMC) just 4:3 or widescreen I think.
Help me xbox scene, you're my only hope!

you must use a HD pack for the other options to show up
if you used 3.1 then you can make that folder (also if you run the "eeprom backup" the folder and backup will be created)
then create a file with just a "3" no quotes and name it VIDEO.BIN and place it the E:\NKP11 folder

Thanks for the great program, makes things a lot easier

I got a strange error though, In not sure if it something that I did but I was able to use this to build a hard drive from scratch using xboxhdm and the xbox will boot the hard drive but once it gets past the part where it should load the dash bored its just sitting at a blank screen.  It will get past the part with the Microsoft name coming up but then that it, it goes to a dark screen.  I might have selected the wrong kernel (I wasn't able to check from the real MS dash so I got it from Avalaunch.)  Was I suppose to add any files to the install? such as the real MS dash or anything?  The only time I have seen an error like this is when I put the boot dash into the wrong folder so it wasn't able to load anything at start up (thats what it looks like is happening now.)  If anyone has any ideas on what I could be doing wrong any help would be greatly appreciated.  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Am I missing something or is there no edit button?  Well anyway I managed to get a booting hard drive but I'm using files from 2004.  I managed to find my old xboxhdm disk that I used to format my old hard drive that died on me.  I'm not sure what I am doing wrong with the Ndure files.  I had an install that I made with the 3.0 installer that I tried out too (I had the right bios set for the 3.0 install since I was able to look for that one) but it still just gave me a blank screen.  Sorry about the double post, I just wanted to add in some additional info on my problem.

seems like you choose wrong kernel.. if you odnt remember the kernel then choose generic kernel/  or dont choose any kernel at all then teh installer will use generic kernel. You can also try using option "2" which will erase the C drive install the softmod files only.. if softmod is successfull then you can copy rest of the files later.

[GrEn238]

Thanks for the help on that, That fixed it.  I was able to ftp the files in using the generic kernel files and it booted up but it seems to be having another error now.  The screen is very distorted, I can see the stuff on it but its in 2 different segments with wavy lines around it.  It was enough to find my real kernel number but that didn't fix the problem either.  It has to be a problem with the nkpatcher because when I use the ntds file where it switches over to let me access the real C drive the screen is fine, but no matter what when I use the normal boot it goes into the strange display.  I didn't tick any setting in the nkpatcher section when setting up the Ndure install and I am using it with a normal TV.  Could the fact that I use component connections cause me to need to use the RGB setting or something like that?

[kingroach]

using ndts install a fresh bios without any RGB bios enabled.. RGB is only for computer monitors.

[GrEn238]

I'm not using the RGB one and I'm getting the strange error, I never used the RGB.  When using the installer I left the options for nkpatcher blank and I never changed the setting for it in ndts.

Big thanks to kingroach! Much appreciated for helping me mod my Xbox's!

[froggger]

Does this release include the fixed backup script that version 3.0 requires, as per the "How to Softmod Your Xbox Using XboxHDM (Ndure)" thread?

[kingroach]

it has all the updates..

[lenselijertje]

Can somebody explain to me how the LED.BIN file works. All i want is the led to be always green. But when i use the standard install option its always orange.
