You can backup LSL.  you need an ACL file fix.  That gets rid of the copy protection so you can play off the HDD.  It's around here somewhere

Post by: Mega_mil on October 29, 2004, 08:26:00 AM

I'm not sure how to get this working off the HDD>  I search the all the xbe files for the media check and they do not have it.  The only way I can play this is by inserting the DVD into the xbox as soon as I turn it on before it loads evo-x.  This is the only way a backup of this works for me.    <

Post by: AgentEB on October 30, 2004, 09:15:00 PM

i haven't bought this game yet. but from what my friends tell me, the game is exactly identical on both disk 1 and disk 2, with the exception of a txt file and maybe the default.xbe is a bit slightly different

Post by: Q3A-TaNK on October 31, 2004, 01:43:00 AM

Yeah i got this today and you have to extract the contents of BOTH discs EX if you want just DOA1 then just make a folder in your F/G drive or however, copy every thing but the DOA2 folder and its Live xbes and the default xbe insted copy the DOA1.xbe and just rename it to default.xbe You do visa versa on the DOA2 disc. Then burn the contents of the disc, in a standard XISO format. Thats about it. FYI DOA1 is around 300+mb DOA2 is 3gb+   <

Post by: trumpetguyscw on October 31, 2004, 11:34:00 AM

This still didn't work for me.  I tried to boot it from the HDD, and got a black screen.  Same goes for trying to boot the original.  Could it be a bad disc?  <

Title: Doa Ultimate
Post by: WingZer0 on October 31, 2004, 02:08:00 PM

i'm getitng hit by this problem aswell, if i load the doa1.xbe  dead or alive 1 works, if i load default or doa2.xbe it just sits at a black screen/evox loader and never loads.  <

Title: Doa Ultimate
Post by: trumpetguyscw on October 31, 2004, 02:57:00 PM

I can't even load an XBE through the HDD and get it to work.  It just goes black after lthe BIOS bootup.  Even waiting til EvoX loads yields nothing.  Ideas?    <

Title: Doa Ultimate
Post by: lunchboxPhil on October 31, 2004, 05:34:00 PM

This is what I did. FTP your Original game, either disc, to your HDD. Both discs are indeed identical save for the .TXT file name.

Now, delete the "default.xbe" file. Yes, delete it. Now, rename "Doa1.xbe" or "DOA2.xbe" depending on what game you want it to be to "default.xbe". This will cause the disc to load the game you select directly.

One other note. When you select Doa1 or Doa2, you will only need the corisponding folder - meaning - if you rename "Doa1.XBE" to "default.xbe" you will not need the "DOA2" folder that you FTP over, thus making the game <300mb. Same goes for if you rename "DOA2.xbe" to "default.xbe" you can eliminate the "DOA1" folder.

I actually made it a multigame disc putting both games on the same disc. I made 2 folders, one for each game and copied the FTP'd files to make 2 identical folders.  I just deleted the "DOA2" folder and renamed "Doa1.xbe" to "default.xbe" for the first game, then for the second game I just renamed "DOA2.xbe" to "default.xbe" and there was no need to delete the "DOA1" folder as the multigame .iso was 4.28gb.

I have put about 2 hours into DOA2 and about 15 mins into DOA 1 with no problems.  <

Tried the multigame suggestion. DOA1 works fine. DOA2 hangs at the warning screen. Original disc works fine however.

i tried it aswell, doa1 works fine, doa2 allways freezes, it doesn't even get to the warning screen it's like

load up renamed doa2.xbe
acts like it's loading
screen goes all screwey, goes through 3 fases of screweyness, than just freezes completly.

i've had a ton of probs with this game
but its all good now
it would make all sorts of colored blocks and then i got it working but it freezes 4 rounds into fighting
what i did was delete doa1 and all its files
find some hdd fixes and then delete the default.xbe and rename the DOA2.xbe to default.xbe
it'll have no choice to load doa2 instead of doa1
see if this works

Do you realize that you just wasted 8gb+ on your drive. If you want to save your space and up the games on disc, look on either my post or LunchBoxPhils post. BOTH discs are  the same content, its just better to seprate DOA1 from the DOA1 disc and DOA2 from DOA2 disc. So you just wasted an extra 4gb+ deezdrama.

Post by: cloudyimpulse on November 05, 2004, 08:07:00 PM

Has anyone figured this problem out.  I just bought my copy, was going to backup part 2 to my harddrive, and that didn't work.  So then I went to make a multiboot version of part 1 & 2 and part 1 played fine, but part 2 still had the black screen with random blocks and white dots... Then I tried to just make a 1:1 copy of disc 2 and same issue.  

I'm using a Softmod on my xbox with Evox running.  I have IGR turned off and still have the problem.  I'm stuck on what else to try.

If disc1 work fine without problems and has the exact same content as disc2, then why are you bitching?

Title: Doa Ultimate
Post by: d9ciarav on November 06, 2004, 07:38:00 AM

Because the problem isn't with the disc content, it's that the DOA2 executable won't boot the game properly, from disc 1 or disc 2.  Trust me, I've tried.  When we load up DOA1, from either disc, it boots up fine.  When we load up DOA2, from either disc, it crashes/gives us a black, spotted screen.

Post by: AgentEB on November 06, 2004, 02:06:00 PM

hey i finally got around to getting doau. i backed it up using dvd2xbox 0.6.1 on disk 2 and it plays fine. i will show how to get the game working off your hdd without having to have two seperate folders for each game. i ripped the game and viewed the file structure. it goes as follows. btw, you will only need one disk to do this. i will base this one solely on disk 2 ONLY for now

Disk 1                            
                               
<DOA1>                      
<DOA2>                      
<MEDIA>                      
dashupdate.xbe            
default.xbe                    
Doa1.xbe                      
doa1.txt                        
DOA2.xbe                      
doau.xbx                      
doa20001.sin                
doa20002.sin                
update.xbe                    
xtalkamp.bin

Disk 2

<DOA1>                      
<DOA2>                      
<MEDIA>                      
dashupdate.xbe            
default.xbe                    
Doa1.xbe                      
doa2.txt                        
DOA2.xbe                      
doau.xbx                      
doa20001.sin                
doa20002.sin                
update.xbe                    
xtalkamp.bin

               
now by looking at file structure on both disks, you can see everything is identical with the exception of the txt file or so it seems. i did a comparison of the xbe files on both disks through my hex editor and they ARE NOT the same. i repeat, NOT THE SAME. everything else however is.

rip disk 2 into your hdd by dvd2xbox 0.6.1. we are going to delete the xbox live files. dashupdate.xbe, default.xbe(yes, delete this), and update.xbe. we also delete doa2.txt. now your file structure should look like this

File structure of DOAU after deletions

<DOA1>
<DOA2>
<MEDIA>
Doa1.xbe
DOA2.xbe
doau.xbx
doa20001.sin
doa20002.sin
xtalkamp.bin

get yourself a copy of Dead_Or_Alive_Ultimate_Game_Selection_Menu by FACELESS.(you will have search google for it) extract f-doaugs.rar and send it's contents into your DOAU folder. the DOAU folder now looks like this...

<cdxmedia>
<DOA1>
<DOA2>
<MEDIA>
default.xbe   <<<this default.xbe is for the cdx selection menu extracted from f-doags.rar, not doau disk 2
Doa1.xbe
DOA2.xbe
doau.xbx
doa20001.sin
doa20002.sin
xtalkamp.bin

now reboot your xbox and load up the game. a cdx menu will pop up to which you will be able to select between playing doau1 or doau2. you could probably make your own cdx selection menu yourself. now for those of you asking how do this using disk 1. exactly the same procedure. delete the xbox live files, delete doa1.txt and extract faceless's game selection menu into the DOAU folder. i haven't tried this yet on disk 1 but i don't see how it won't work the same way. i tested this on my xbox 1.1 with x3 bios 1957 and evox 3935. enjoy

I have come to a conclusion that its a softmod issue.

Everyone that i've seen not have DOAU work is a softmod user.

Someone has pointed out that DOA2 will not boot with a debug bios..

the problem is, is that PBL and such will only boot BFM bioses. (bootable from media).
and all BFM bioses are debuged to be booted from the harddrive. so there u go.. find a biosloader that doesnt require boot from media. (dont say modchip). good luck.

Yup.  Even a $20 AppleX V is all you'd ever need.  It comes with working BIOS that you'll never need to flash unless you want IGR.  If you want that troublesome IGR, then reflash the chip with your choice of BIOS.

$20 will end your pain forever.


Edited to add that I got IGR to work, so far with every single game I have on HDD.  Now it really is perfect.

Nevermind I fixed it!  I remembered that IGR is built into the X2 Bios that I was using.  I read that since I am using the EvoX dash, I should probably use the EvoX Bios which is more compatible.  I turned off IGR, deleted my corrupt gamesave and then created a new one.  To my surprise, the next time I tried to go back into DOAU, the save WORKED!  So the down side is that I have lost my IGR function, but the UP side is that I can now enjoy DOAU WAY MORE!

what kind of method is that, don't you risk to lose all your games saves ?!!

What that does is delete the cache that your xbox creates for faster file access to games.  Just like a cache on your hard drive so you don't have to keep downloading the same image or something over and over again.

I've done that in the past and it has worked for a friend, but not for me.  My DOAU problem has resurfaced and it is really bugging me.

Has anyone experienced the problem I'm having with corrupt gamesaves???  Please do not tell me to check the time on my xbox.  It's good.  I've done that.

Save games are in the C:\UDATA folder so you don't have to worry when deleting your Cache folder contents or the contents of X: Y: or Z:

Was running into this problem with a few games not loading on one system and M$ Dash not loading on another. Just cleared the cache and x,y,z and both worked fine!

i popped in the doa2u disc, backed up with dvd2xbox, zero files failed to copy. game loads fine, and plays fine.

i do, however, lose all audio after quitting and returning to the main menu after a few rounds sometimes.  anyone else have this problem?

Still no reply on how softmod boxes can get past freezing at the copyright warning.  Guess no one knows.

Wesly, I got FACELESS from a torrent search.  Not sure we're allowed to give more info than that.

Ill just make this simple. We know DVD to DVD backup works. We know you can backup DOA 1 just fine on any system. We also know that some mod chips and softmods work and some dont for this. Only one of the above works for all, and thats the dvd to dvd backup. Do it that way, and quit complaning. Also, the load times are identical to running off the harddrive.

Ok. I PERFECTED the proccess to get it to run. Did it to 4 diffrent xboxs, diffrent chips and so on.
What you need to do is put the game on you hdd. Then play from the dvd. Then it saves its data. Then the hdd copy loads out find.  Apperently the game creates a save with your mac address info and will actually check for that like a copy protection.  

This was perfromed on a

1.6 with Xecuter 3
1.4 softmod
1.4 with X 2.5
1.3 with x 2.5

all wouldnt load before the game was played from the origonal. All loaded after.

Here's what I did to make mine work.

1. Download  XBOXISO v1.3 in the download section.
2. Open ISO file, extract to whatever directory you want
3. FTP all files to XBOX games directory
4. When done, delete default.xbe and rename DOA2.xbe to default.xbe.


That's it.

Could someone with a softmod verify this???  I would love to do that myself but I already returned the DOAU disks in all my frustration!

Post by: A8dr1an on February 27, 2005, 12:46:00 PM

   

I wonder how some of you with softmods claim you got this to work but then when others try to duplicate your work they fail!  

I want this game so bad.... I'd pay for the retail if it didn't run so crappy off the disk!  I get all the delayed and out-of-sync sound stuttering "K K K K O O O" etc...

What is just fricking weird is that I was able to back it up with dvd2xbox, it showed up in the Games menu, was even able to launch it BUT the text and graphics were corrupt.  The graphics were in wire-frame and the text could not be read but I didn't get any lock-ups like some of you did.

 

Title: Doa Ultimate
Post by: A8dr1an on March 05, 2005, 12:57:00 PM

One of two things solved it:

1.  I noticed that I had a pre-installed Game Trainer for DOAU which was active.  One of its functions was setting everything to wireframe mode by pressing on the left thumbstick.  Even though I never pressed the left thumbstick to activate, the corrupt graphics I was experiencing were very similar to this, so I disabled it.

Or

2.  Went inside MS Dashboard > Memory and deleted the DOAU profile.
Copied the game with dvd2xbox.  Powered down the xbox and ran the game off the DVD disk for the first time.  Created new profile when asked, played around a little bit.  Powered down the xbox, removed the disk, and the game has been playing off the HDD perfectly ever since!

Somebody else in this thread suggested running the game off the disk the first time allowing it to save that way.  

Please note that I have a softmod, didn't make any changes to the PBL, didn't remove or rename any files or alter the game's filestructure.

I hope this helps someone else out there!  This game runs so much better from the HDD than the intended disk, it's not even funny!  All the out-of-sync sounds are gone and there are virtually no loading times at all anymore!

Cheers!

So...I download the softmod (latest) and installed on my 1.6b

First game I FTP'd was DOA2 Ultimate (Disc 2)

Burned in Nero as UDF, didn't make an ISO with any tools

And it works, and til today I still play it

I didn't modify any files or did anything and this is the truth too.

It works with my softmod and all

Hope this helps (if it does anyways)

I just tried restoring my entire E:\ to an earlier state when it was loading the saves properly, but no luck.  It obviously has nothing to do with the saves.  I don't know what else to try.  I'm kind of scared of messing with C:\

If it's not anything to do with the saves themselves, it must be a setting that was changed somewhere... either in avalaunch, the xbox dash, or somewhere's else.
