I just soft-mod my xbox with Splinter Cell + Memcard. (xbox v1.6), upgraded the harrd drive to a 250G Maxtor, installed Slayer V2.6 from scratch. Every7thing was fine until I changed the aspect ratio from 4:3 to 16:9 in Xbox Media Player (OK, now I know it is a very very stupid thing to do....:-(
After the change, the xbox can not be started up any more. After the MS Xbox logo screen, it is hanged there with a messy colorful screen. The hard drive makes some noise and it seems to be reading/writing....but it will hand there forever.
I tried to load up the Splinter Cell again to re-mod...but no luck... the game would not start... I tried FTP...no connection.
I tried switching back the original hard drive. It did not help.. same symptom. I had thought the change of ratio will be saved somewhere on the hard drive. But now apparently it is saved somewhere to the hardware of the box (some flashable memory?)...
Anyone had the same problem and knows how to rescue it? I am thinking about borrowing a wide screen TV and see if it will make the display normal and then I can change it back.....
