Post by: groupiezsuck on January 23, 2005, 11:21:00 PM

I've been trying to softmod my Xbox for... a year and a half now. I want to do it even more since I just bought a new Xbox.

Can someone help me out with the Splinter cell soft mod?

I downloaded the file from xbins... but it is a .rar file and i'm not sure how im supposed to copy that to the HDD.

Has anyone here softmodded using Splinter Cell?

Can you tell me which file to use? File 1 or File 2?  :blink:

I can prove ANY info you need to know to help me... please reply so I can finally get this done!

Oh yea, and just to let everyone know... i've searched EVERYWHERE and cannot find any help.

In my first post I meant to say I didnt know which file to put on my Action Replay, not HDD.

I have everything here I need according to all of these tutorials, but cannot find the gamesave and how to load it through Splinter Cell.

once you have the gamesave exploit on your memory card then copied to your hdd. you start the game up go to start game- then level and it should say linux and then checkpoints and it will load into somewhere to load ude.

Thanks alot guys for the quick response... a couple minutes after I made this post, I figured out that I needed both files on the memory card.

Ok, so I loaded the files on my memory card... and loaded up Splinter Cell... selected the file and it just keeps freezing.  

Can you guys help me with this problem?    I've seen it around the forums, but havent found a fix for it.

you didnt load the files right the files you have to load are like a bunch of numbers so keep opening the folders until it has like some numbers and letters not just folder one and folder two.

Ok, so I unzip the Part 1 and Part 2 first? And I see number files... how do I load these in AR? Make it a ZIP folder?

those number files you just transfer to the memory card as they are then transfer those to the xbox hdd they should say linux when on the xbox memory card.  then open them as saved games in sc.

I cannot transfer the number files through Action Replay... it says it is an invalid file.  

The only files it transfered were Part 1 and Part 2.

....dont know if this helps but...go to my computer, double click your hdd that you have your action replay software installed onto, go to program files....then go to uhh (i cant remember off hand which folder it is...i think its datel or something... its like the brand of action replay or something), then go to gamsaves...look at the name of the file that the splinter cell cheats are that came with action replay (copy that name EXACTLY THE SAME to a piece of paper) then delete the file...then take your software you want to put on the mem card and make it a zip archive or whatever (dont ask me how to do this i am just explaining how to do it not in very much detail) and title it the same as the filename you copied to the paper...drag the archive back to the action replay folder. start up action replay...then in the center colum drag the file to the left and it should start copying to mem card. i softmod xbox's with 007 exploit and i use that same process...if you have any questions email me at [email protected] or IM me at llsten2cky

That didnt work.

Anyone else who has recently softmodded with Splinter Cell?

Just want to get this straight...

Unzip the itools rar file and transfer Part 1 and Part 2 into my Action Replay/Memory Card... Load files on HDD... Load Splinter Cell... Checkpoints>> Load "Linux" file... and thats it?

I get to the Linux file, but it freezes.  :(

Yeah, one thing.....
Do you have any sc saves on your xbox already?
Or
Have you played on xbox live with that box?

You have to zip the two files before sending them to your mem card.  The first folder in each zip should be UDATA.  Inside each UDATA file, there is another file with loads of numbers.  You need to copy a datelinfo.xbx file from a downloaded savegame, into this numbered folder in each zip, so action replay can recognise the save properly.

If you've already done that, then make sure the two saves (splinter cell profile and the linux_installer) are copied to your xbox HD, and that it's the only splintercell profile on your xbox.  Also make sure you are using the original splintercell disc, and that it is not the platinum edition.

Ok thanks alot man, I am going to give that a shot. My Splinter Cell was bought back when it was first released, so it definitely not the platinum edition.

Is there any specific way I should put the datelinfo.xbx into the numbered file? And can it be from any game? I really do not want to mess this up...

EDIT: Ok, well I took a datelinfo.xbx file from a different save.. put it in each numbered files from Part 1 and Part 2.. then I zipped the numbered files and tried loading them into Action Replay but got an invalid file error.

Am I doing something wrong?

I finally got it to work... sort of.

I got to the itools screen and after I just hit the A button it said "Your Xbox REquires Service"

I wasnt able to select anything from that screen so I just hit A...

What do I do from this screen!? Ahhh i'm so close.  :P

Just for the record, many people, myself included, have successfully used the Platinum Hits version to run exploits.

Look here and you'll find tutorials with everything you could ever need to know to get started.

In the tutorial that i have read, it says that u need to delete all former splinter cell games that u had on ur xbox hard drive.  then copy the gamesave to ur hard drive making sure it's the only save.  Then follow the rules normally when loading the gamesave from the game...........hope this helps. :beer:

I've been trying to get this to work for a few hours now.  First, after installing this AR software, it would not take the zip file I downloaded off the internet, saying invalid file type or something.   Now this file, splinter_cell_exploit-ntsc.zip, has within it the udata directory.  Within that are two more, 5553000c and 21585554.

In the 21585554/000000000000 folder, there are two more files than the 5553000c/000000000000 directory, called devz3ro and evox.ini.

I have been able to load it onto the card by deleting the 5553000c directory, but ti then shows up as linux installer on AR and the xbox (not Splinter Cell).  By deleting the 21585554 directory, I can upload it and it appears as LINUX_Profile on the list and Xbox, but has some wierd hypno symbol @ in the xbox.  Loading checkpoints gives me a black screen with "Your xbox requires service. Please call Xbox Customer Support" error in 6 languages.

I decided to try around.  Since the game-save is only valid with one of those folders, I tried combining the files from the 21XXXXXX directory to the 55XXXX directory, but that has resulted in no success.

I've gotten past my original problem that was that I couldn't transfer files to the card.   Now, though, my problem seems to be that I mess up the save file int eh process.  No tutorials inform me on how to do this, they all say "download the splinter_cell_exploit-ntsc.zip, file, get it to yourxbox..."  then go into details past that point.

Please, is anyone able to pinpoint my problem here?  Or should I buy MA or 007 and run those?  And yes, I use Splinter Cell non-platinum, bought it soon after it came out.
