he is the one who is believed to have leaked the Xbox 360 XeDk tools to the general public, though he will deny it greatly. Again I don't know the full story and really don't care but for reference:
http://forums.xbox-s...howtopic=690395
I've also heard he has leaked a lot of other things that shouldn't have been leaked as well but anyway...
thats why
Back on topic...
I really wish I had not screwed up my JTAG points, all this homebrew coming out and even homebrew libraries. The 360 is about on par with the xbox 1, save for the missing xbmc which really doesn't matter as it is kind of a media center on its own with just a few missing xbmc features. Such as going online and youtube streaming, but I use my computer for that
.
Post by: sabbath_dude on December 05, 2009, 04:40:00 PM
. Love seeing all this homebrew finally kick off on the 360. Great work!.*Edit*
Works great!. I'm currently playing Deadliest Catch (which was a US only region locked game) on my PAL 360
. What's even better is I'm playing it from an SD card through a USB port. All I did was use Xbox Backup Creator to rip the game files from DVD to PC and then use X360GameHack to patch the .xex for "all media" and "all region".
Post by: Morning Call on December 05, 2009, 04:48:00 PM
copying files from 360 drive to usb drive is way the fuck faster then using xplorer or xport (sorry guys.. did the trick up until now)

Yes, in the 360 SDK there is a tool called XLAST that will let you build these packages. Pretty easy to use.

. I also got around to installing one of my games (borderlands) to a harddrive, but was having some issues. After playing the game for about 10 minutes, it starts to lag really really bad. I was wondering if anyone else had issues with this? It seems like theres a memory leak or something similar as the timing is always around 10 minutes...and then you can turn off the xbox, back on, and play for another 10 minutes no problem.Again, fantastic work after only a few days!

Are you using XBRebooter 8955_0? If so, try updating to _1. I don't think it's an issue for the loader?

You can make a folder structure on your flash drive like this:
Content/0000000000000000/C0DE9999/00080000/C0DE9999000E1337
Then boot from the CD and copy the "Content" folder from USB to 360 HDD using xexloader (hit the back button for help).

I know it isn't an issue with XeXLoader and most likely an issue with XBRebooter, however I figured most people would be using this tool for Hard Drive loading, and figured it was the better place to ask about why the game comes to a crawl after about 10 minutes of usage. I also patched the game using XeXtool with -r m to disable the media check.

Post by: Chan163 on December 06, 2009, 02:28:00 PM
Many other XBLA games, patched or unpatched, SSF2THDR for example, run fine. I'll put some research into it now, checking if it happens after 10 minutes with ripped, retail (on DVD) or backuped (on DVD) games too.
What's causing it? This x360gamehack program will help in this matter? I guess not, as someone already said he used it and it didn't help. Freeboot is not suffering from this problem? I hope it gets fixed soon, because all of this, XBR, xexloader, yaris-swap (or the other tools for doing that patching), it's just f*cking awesome! Thanks to everyone involved! I appreciate your effort!

I don't think so! Look at the size of the last backward compatibility pack download. It's pretty small. And what's installed to the HDD of it is even smaller. My guess is that there is a general emulator, and the backward comp downloads are just some additional fixes to the emu for each game. The reason why the emulator isn't available for just any original XBox game would be that they wanted to make sure the game is not only playable but also finishable, thus the emulator runs only checked and "fixed" games.
Maybe those back comp downloads are even just JIT patches for the original game, so the emulator runs smooth...

I tried it with Borderlands. Like I said, it starts fine and plays for about 10 mins perfectly. Then at this point it starts to lag and slow down really bad. However if I turn the xbox off and then on immediately and then load the game again, I can play for another 10 mins roughly. This is what makes me think it has something to do with a memory leak or something similar, which would explain why it always takes roughly the same amount of time to lag with the same game. Also it doesn't matter where in the game you are, just always after about 10 mins.

Apparently I need to get my ass back into the scene.
I did a lot with the old xbox, but short of flashing my drive witht he 360 i didn't do a whole lot more.
Sadly I took the dash update in summer 09
so I'm SOL untill we find a way to back step that little update which I'm sure one of the fine people on the ball will do eventually.But just the thought of being able to upgrade my hdd, and play games off of it without the disc in the drive is awesome!
Come on xbox360 Media center
M$ pathetically tried and blew it. lets get something with real balls.the 360 in theory should have the guts to stream 1080 mkv files over the net.. but for somereason I get glitches just streaming pumped up 720p xvid.
Guess I will be checkin the forums a little more often!

Is it possible to simply build in a 500gb 2.5 HDD ?
Do I have to format it and make partitions on PC or do I only need to format the HDD with the hacked dashboard??

It's definitely not harddrive related as I can tell when its using the hard drive or if it is idleing and it is constantly spinning happily. I ripped the disc to an external 2.5hdd hooked up on the front usb port. I patched the xex with xextool 5.2, which from what I am reading appears to be the problem. I will try using the x360gamehack only selecting make dev for the xex and report back.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Just backed up Fable 2 and then patched the game using X360GameHack and it freezes after about 1 second. What could be causing this, a bad backup? I also renamed the directory from "backup0" to "fable 2".
Also Amazing Advances lately, I have to just say Thanks to all involved.
I got it to work now, At first I messed with the default options in X360GameHack. I then reran X360Game hack with the default options and it works now.

Yeah, that's what I've been trying to make clear through all my testing. Running it from the 360's HDD seems to eliminate the bottleneck. And yes you can swap out the hard drive with any 2.5", and it will format properly using the xbox. However, you won't be able to use any current PC-based tools (Xplorer360, Xport360, etc.). If the XeXLoader file management is good enough for you (expect updates in the future), then that is the best option.

Slowdown here also with Borderlands possibly due to me using a very old IDE HDD, purchasing a 500gb today. what rpm are the stock HDDs 5400 or 7200?

Yes, me .
I patched with xextool and than turned into dev mode with x360gamehack
I played it yesterday for about an hour without slowdown.

But i have copy the directory "C0DE9999" to the 360 HDD at Hdd1://Content/0000000000000000/
In the Game libary there is no demo. When i go to system--> Memory --> HHD-->Demos
there is a DAMAGED GAME DEMO FILE
why ?

Also I just patched L4D2 with only x360gamehack using only the default settings, which resulted in a black and purple checkerboard showing on my screen, nothing else.

I have played Left 4 Dead 2 with no issues, as well as many other games. You need to CLEAR YOUR CACHE of title updates, because when you patch games, the xexp files inside the update cannot run correctly. The workaround for this is extracting the files from the title update and using xextool [-p] to apply the patches to the untouched game files, then patch with gamehack and play. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
Make sure all the libraries L4D2 uses are getting patched with gamehack, they should be like so:

Hi this is probably a very stupid question but please forgive my lack of understanding right now. I have a xbox that is about 3 years old one of the original elites.

I know that the jtag for for downgrading and for reading and writing a new KV are out but is the rest possible?
*sigh* we need a sticky for this....
If you have the latest updates, either from LIVE or from the latest games, or have bought a 360 that has it preloaded, then NO, you cannot use this, and most likely never will be able to.
Regardless of the type of 360, you must NOT have the latest updates loaded, and to all those waiting for that to change, it would take an entirely new exploit to be found, so I'd say forget about it, sell your current box and go buy another one if you want to exploit it.

Alternatively you can use Schtrom 360 Xtract to extract the game.iso from the complete backup you already have. After this, you can open up the game.iso with Qwix like you would a normal Xbox 1 game, and extract all its contents to a folder on your usb drive.

But with the disk you can copy xextool directly to the flash memory, so you can use it without the need of an HD. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

That's right, The disk is needed if you want to copy to the hd without the use of an adapter or without opening it.
I don't have a memory card to test, but with the disk you should be able to copy the app to the card as well.

No more 500dB everytime I want to play a game. Old games/New games, all in Fat32 format. I can't wait. Will still be a week before I can find time to jTag.
Don't have to have anymore CRAP shoved down my throat, that is Xbox Live, M$, and updates.
Why the scene is so good to us, I'll never know. I'm thankful though, for people's hard work. One day, I might have enough PPC assembly, C, and hardware knowledge under my belt to give something back. Maybe next round, Power PC all the way around (Wii 2, PS4, Xbox 720)
Do you think this will recognize a drive with a Fat32 parition as the first partition? As the second partition?

Simply deleted with xexloader and voila, as if they never existed Have sometime lag ingame, at the begining of a race. This seems related to the race itself (combination of cars and track), as it is consistent 'til I reboot the console or if I try another race. Maybe a bad media @ copy time, did not take the time yet to do and extraction from the iso. The game is copied on internal 120gb, and is no more hdd installed with the dash. It's not game updates since I removed all of them. I can't remember it there was an update on xbl for this game.
So I'm not fixed yet as the cause : media, xbreboot, jtag with diodes ... seems gpu related (and so is jtag...) but a little random!
But I'm still happy

Noob question: how did you do that? Since I can't make a 500gb fat32, I made a partition and formated it in fat32, but xexloader doesn't see it. The problem is within my hard drive or I messed up something?

My guess is that he soldered a SATA cable to the HDD header under the motherboard, and soldered up a SATA power connector (5v from the HDD header, ground wires to the shielding, 12v from power supply connector) and connected a 1TB HDD and formatted it with the 360.
This is what I did anyway.

My guess is that he soldered a SATA cable to the HDD header under the motherboard, and soldered up a SATA power connector (5v from the HDD header, ground wires to the shielding, 12v from power supply connector) and connected a 1TB HDD and formatted it with the 360.
This is what I did anyway.
Check it out:
eheh, I'd like to do something like that but I dunno where to get the sata and the power cable from.
If I buy the cygnos chip and use freeboot, will I get the same freezes with new games as well? Or the problem is inside the xexloader?

AFAIK, XBReboot is what causes the freezing, not XexLoader.
It has also been speculated that USB HDDs are the bottleneck, and that SATA wired HDDs dont have the freezing issues, but i'm not sure.
Freeboot apparently doesn't suffer from this problem, but I can't confirm that...
The games I have tried thus far (Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection and Monopoly) have had no freezing/lag issues being run off my 1TB SATA-wired HDD.

Can you snap a picture or describe where the SATA headers are in the 360. I am trying to get my HDD to work but seems that the external connector on top of the 360 has gone bad.
I would like to try this out or I will have to take the USB route.

Finally, FINALLY got around to jTaging, dumping (3x), and flashing tonight. Took me the greater part of the evening and into the AM, but I got it all working 1st try!!!
Loaded up Xexloader and Holy crap. Not only did it recognize my USB hard drive, but it found the second Fat32 partition of TWO partitions. Loaded up Banjo Kazooie that was patched with xbox360gamehack, and it loaded........INSTANTL without a sound.
I am floored. This is too good to be true.

Some games freeze randomly, and some at a specific spot.
I tried playing from an external USB harddisk, aswell as the original Xbox harddisk.
I also attempted using XeXTool and Gamehacker, with varied parameters, but that didn't seem to fix it.
Whoever is having success, can you please detail your system, and parameters so we can try to pinpoint why some people are having problems, and some are not ? I suggest something like this:
MB: Xenon
Rebooter: XBR 8955_1
Game: ....
Parameters Used: .....
Media Used: USB HD, USB flash, or Sata HD
I suspect that it might be something like, Freeboot working, and not XBR.

I get freezes on both from USB hard drive and from XDVDFS Dvd burn.
Extracted with Redline's xbox image browser, patched with default options recursively with x360gamehack.
I'm using a falcon....8955_1, xbreeboot.
Has anyone gotten Xbreboot to work without freezing?
Whats odd is I'm also freezing launching from previously backup up DVD9 discs, which would indicate its an Xbreboot problem. That backup never froze from standard m$ kernel.
If anyone is having 100% success with Xbreboot .05 _1, please share.

Any updates on this? I'm leaning towards your implementation of the hard drive problem as it's very nice and avoids unnecessary power needs for an external USB drive, but I'm worried that it might be a pain to get games onto the drive (unless I just keep my PC open with a SATA dongle hanging out of it).
I did find on Amazon a USB-to-SATA "plug" that you just insert a bare drive into and it gets read as a USB drive by Windows, so that might be nice. But it's $50...

Maybe freeboot uses different patches for different consoles. I have a zephyr running XBR and also have freezes. Looked at the freeboot package and there seem to be differences in both the base and console patches per console. Look in the bin dir. Filesize seems to be the same however in a hexeditor they look different.
Does anyone with an xenon have the same freezing problem??

ResidentEvil5: doesnt go ingame, i see the videos and everything but at the point where the games should start the screen just stays black.
Sega Ralley: wont start, patched the XEX but it still reports that the disc has scratches

I'm slightly confused. I just read it won't work on a NTFS formatted hard drive but it will on a fat? but a fat can't hold a 7 gig image. Wouldn't you have to put your .xex file on a ntfs drive?
you dont put the iso on your HDD/USB but the extracted image, so there wont be any problems with big files.

I use Bayonetta to check if the lag is present or not. There's a chapter (Route 666) that always causes lag, and it doesn't matter if you've been running the game for 10 minutes or not. I tested this on a Xenon running XBR_1. Tried XBR_0, but that didn't seem to make any difference.
NXE install -> lag
Straight from DVD, only MC present -> lag
Removed DVD & SATA-HDD, launched XeXLoader from MC and ran game from 300GB USB ->lag
SATA-HDD present, launched XeXLoader from HDD and ran game from 300GB USB -> lag
On a side note, another game, Samurai Spirits Sen (fighting game) only lags during the loading screens, in-game it's perfect. And the Bayonetta chapter seems to be streaming data heavily from the storage device. I would think AC2 streams in-game data as well. Gonna try SFIV and Tekken 6, I'm fairly certain those two would be perfect in-game as well, since the data is presumably loaded into RAM before the fight begins.
Edit:
SFIV lags in-game after a few minutes. I have no idea if it's streaming data or not when the lag begins.
Tekken 6 stutters a bit during loads, perfect in-game (HDD seems silent during fights). I should add that I run these from the 300GB USB drive using XeXLoader.

That's a decent workaround, but we need to find a way to make Title updates work with running games from HDD, not just delete them altogether. Some things require title updates to run properly, especially when DLC comes into play.
Apply the .xexp patches from updates and it works fine.

You need to actually patch the xex with the xexp from the title update file in the cache folder.
The problem is, some games, like Rock Band 2, have extra files that need to patched in. I believe that these are patched in my the game itself and separate from the xexp. As of now I don't know of a way to patch in these extra files. I suppose title updates that only contain an xexp and no extra files and folders will work fine.

So far I've only tried The Saboteur off of an external 7200rpm USB HDD formatted with FAT32. The game will freeze at pretty much random points (in game and loading screens) for a minute or two and then resume again, and any buttons I've pressed meanwhile will all happen at once.
Gonna try a few other games and maybe also try formatting the drive with HFS+ since I hear FAT32 has huge inefficiencies when it comes to partitions bigger than 32GB.
Also planning on adding an eSATA port to let me use any 3.5" HDD in a nice enclosure, but that's a different story and will take a while to get together.
