| At the 'usual places' under apps, dashboards, and dashboard patchers, there is an iso that when you put in your xbox it patches the ms dash to make it region free. When i try to run it it just crashes, i assume this is because the ms dash has been renamed and the fonts have been moved. So is hex editing going to solve it? |
try it,
sidenote, will only make the dvd player region-free and not the XBOX!

EDIT: In the PC section of 'the usual places'
I found a utility that patches the MS dash, but on the PC as opposed to the XBOX, and it allows you to select the file, so that solves the problem of the renamed dash. But what i want to know is if the moved fonts will cause a problem, or is it likely to not bother with them?

edit again: i found this in the readme file of the pc patcher.
Q - Can i use other patch (eg. Progressive scan, bluedash ...) with this one ?
A - You can as long as the other patch do not alter the DVD region check code !
now i don't think when ldots edited the ms dash to find the new fonts he changed the dvd region check part of the code, so theoretically it should work, shouldn't it?
yes i know your response 'just try it', well im gonna.

Now this brings me onto a much much bigger topic. When i play an NTSC dvd on my PAL xbox, no matter what method i use (XBMC, MS dash, DVDx2 etc) it ALWAYS stutters ever few seconds. I don't think its a player issue, but something is causing it. Like i said no matter what player i use it always stutters. Now i have no idea what could be causing this, can someone help me?
Could it be?
1.) An eeprom issue? (May i have to change my region to NTSC for it to work properly?)
2.) My video output (I keep my video output to PAL when i play NTSC dvds because my tv isn't expensive enough to be mult-region)
3.) A drive issue (Don't ask me how, but could it struggle with Region 1 DVDs?)
This is something that one of the experts must be able to solve being as it is related to region specifics and not DVD playback. I would like it to be solved please because some of my favourite films (or movies for the americans) are imports.

Also why don't you look in some other forum as this isn't related to exploits very much. Maybe you could look for your answer there

I don't think it is the patch causing it as XBMC and DVDx2 which are already multiregion have the same effect. I will try changing my video output and will ask in another forum.

| I was unsure about which forum it should go in, and i thought it may have been eeprom related. You guys know lots about eeproms and such so i thought you may be able to help.

you would have been better off in the xbox utilities forum,
some would probally have had experience.
