As soon as you apply it, you can no longer access the D drive to backup your games, neither with BOXPLORER or the like, or with FTP. It now just looks like putting the XBOX game into the DVD drive of your PC.
Maybe this is version specific, but it IS that way on both V 1.0 and 1.1 that I have tried.
EDIT: Thanks for pinning this. Lets get to the bottom of it!

when i put in a game evox doesnt aknowlege it
the only way to run a game is boot with it

However, I was able to play a DivX movie from CDR (I have a Samsung), when using the BICOErnie hack, using XBMP 2.4.
But via FTP, the problem was there. I didn't try xbcopy or anything like that so I can't confirm.

Boxplorer or the new xbcopy sees D: as well. Evox seems to have a problem seeing the D: drive.

Negative.
You are missing the point. They all SEE the DVD drive, and you can access it...
The point is, when you look at what is on the DVD, all you see is VIDEO_TS, as if you were reading a DVD on a PC drive. You cannot access the full game.
Xcommander does not fix this.
As of now, there is no way around it.
Font hack allows the PLAYING of backups, but does not allow CREATING backups as of yet.
Once it does that, and an alternative to the MSDASH is found, and IGR work, and a LOADER is incorporated into EVOX, and there is a way to safeguard against new games changing the DASH on us, there will be a very strong argument for this as a viable alternative to a mod chip.

Incorrect. Using Bert and Ernie, I have access to all the drives but the D drive is just a mirror of the C drive when I ftp in.
I loaded up Xcommander and it saw the D drive correctly and I transfered the game over the network.

Well part of the problem with newbies is they forget to do search. I searched for about 5-10 minutes looking for a fix for the font exploit and the dvd-rom issue. I couldn't find any answer so I posted in this thread.
This is a somwhat new section so not all the questions have been asked but I have already seen a lot of the same questions about 10 times that could easily be found if the person did the time to perform a search.
I know that personally, I don't want to waste anyone else's time on a question that has already been answered previously so I try searching first.
That is just good forum etiquette.

Interesting...
I have the pheonix PJ fonts installed...
Xcommander just gives me the VIDEO_TS thing.
This must be either XBOX version or kernal specific.
Although, I still don't quite believe that you can do it on yours until I see it.
I have tried three xbox's now, 2 V1.1 and 1 V1.0
Can anyone else verfiy that XCOMMANDER will show the drive?
If so, what version of the fonts are you using?

The DVD drive reading thing is a bug. So that'll be squashed.
And for those that have to "boot with the game inside the drive" to get anything to load, well that's just not entirely necessary. You need to add an item to the main list called "Launch DVD" or "Happy Happy American Fun Time Disco Disco Dance" (whatever floats your boat) and add some code to it. (I'll post it here when I find it. Which will be in like two minutes).
You ROCK RUDE!
Post by: DJDrEvil on July 08, 2003, 11:57:00 AM
When I press the power button it SOMETIMES takes exactly 3 times to boot to EvoX. By that I mean I press power, I see the X - M$, the screen flashes, I see the X - M$, the screen flashes differently (wierd colors, screen out of center), it sits there for about 5 seconds, and finally I see the EvoX.
Also, SOMETIMES when I put a game in to the DVD player, it doesn't boot to it, but goes right to EvoX. I do this with the power off, put the disk in, power up.
Right now I am backing up my Halo using Pxx HDD Loader, the first time I tried HDD Loader didn't see anything in the drive.
My conclusion is that the exploit is extreamly buggy and in the alpha phase, use at your own risk.

What method of software xploit? (ernie, audio, etc) What *version* of the software xploit did you use? (reloaded, phoenix, the original, etc) Did you swap out your HDD at any point? Did you use the memory card cheat? What new dashboard are you using? What version of the dashboard hack are you using? Does it work with all games, or is it HALO only? Did you have to re-insert it to the xbox for it to read it? Are you copying it over with xCommander, ftp, or another program? I know that's a lot, but quite a few of them are quick yes/no/ernie/whatever answers. Please get back to us as soon as possible. It would be great if we could get this figured out. Oh yeah, and if you point to any files (EvoX for instance), would you mind putting the version number so others can emulate what you've done? |
What Bios?
Under the Evox settings it says Unknown
What Kernel?
1.00.4034.01
What method of software xploit? (ernie, audio, etc)
Bert is cheating on ernie
What *version* of the software xploit did you use? (reloaded, phoenix, the original, etc)
Phoenix
Did you swap out your HDD at any point?
No, virgin XBox
Did you use the memory card cheat?
Yip, 007 with Action Reply
What new dashboard are you using?
EvoX
What version of the dashboard hack are you using?
1.8.3752
Does it work with all games, or is it HALO only?
I have tried many backups - all seem to work (no signing). The only thing that doesn't work is that HD loader program.
Did you have to re-insert it to the xbox for it to read it?
I pressed the eject button (it was off) - and dropped it in, then it booted Halo. While halo was booting I hit eject again and then the Evox dash came up (the door was open) and I pushed it shut. Sometimes I have to do this a couple of times before it works.
Are you copying it over with xCommander, ftp, or another program?
I copied it from D to E with xCommander - didn't bother to FTP it off but I could do it with flash if I wanted to.
Hope that helps. If you want any more info your going to have to tell me where to find it

Whoop, thanks for all the info... lets see...
I've tried the same things as you - I did the HDD swap, no problems there - except for the above statement. I'm going to try that for a bit to see if I can get EvoX to come up. At what point during the Halo boot up do you hit eject? Specifically, what screen? When the main halo menu comes up? When the bungie logo comes up? Just after the X disappears?
Also, when you hit eject for the second time, does your xBox reboot? (as in the reset-on-eject fix is not present)
We're gonna get this... if we do, I'll write the (temporary) Tutorial and then wait until the undergrounds release a fix for this.

Ok going to try it right now.
1. Xbox is off
2. I press the large button (the one that makes the door open)
3. I put in the disk, then press the large button again.
4. Odd, this time it went to Evox, then booted the game.
5. I let it go all the way to the main halo menu (camp/multi/set/demo)
6. Press eject again it resets xbox at the bungie screen
7. Game started again
8. Ejected again, reset and the game started again.
Its strange how it happens. I gave up this time.
I think the problem has to do with how evox starts. If i have no games in the box will either start on first try with evox or might reboot up to 10 times.
I'll mess with it more later.
BTW: Playing halo right now off the HD and the load screens are SO short
Post by: Wooger on July 14, 2003, 06:01:00 PM
It would also back up my theory since in ver 1.1 of the !Loader you can do a drive authenticatoin and it will show you all the content. This is done by using the 4034.dll and the dash heavily using some of the calls in that dll.
Does anyone know of a way to authenticate the DVD-Rom drive after boot?
Wooger
forgot to add.... that after replacing the 4034.dll with the new kernel plugins the Y button to update the DVD Players TOC / Authentication doesnt seem to work anymore. Thats what I am asking, if there is another way of doing so.

So far I have been testing this Bert and Ernie reloaded and the Bert is Cheating on ernie font exploit. And so far any any of the xbox's I use if you the Bert and Ernie reloaded fonts are used I can not read the DVD drive no matter what. All I get is a VIDEO_TS folder. Even on the 4034 kernel model. Plus if I use the bert and ernie reloaded exploit I can not, no matter what I try, get the DVD to authenticate successfully. (This is using the ver 1.0 or 1.1 Complex-Loader hitting the yellow button)
Now if I put the snuffleupagus.xft file on the 4034 kernel xbox and boot. The 4034 kernel will then be able to read the DVD drive and also authenticate the DVD using the yellow button. (Only tested in the ver 1.1 Complex-Loader dash).
Now if I take and put the bert is cheating on ernie fonts on a non 4034 kernel'd xbox all that seems to happen is the xbox begins the endless boot process. (Which by the way if you put the 007 or mechassault game in the dvd during this process at some point the game will boot and you can then boot the exploit as long as you werent stupid enuff to delete the save game off the hard drive. It has always come out it just takes a very long time... put the game in let it start rebooting go get something to eat take a nap something and when you stop hearing it go.... shink clunk clunk... check to see if the game booted. Its taken upwards in the 2 hour range to come out sometimes so be patient.)
So the problem appears to lie in the updated fonts.
And also so far I have yet to be able to use the bert is cheating on ernie fonts on anything but the 4034 kerneled xbox. Which makes reading the dvd drive limited to only xbox's that have 4034 kernel. BUT....
Has anyone replaced the ernie font in the reloaded font pack with the snuffleupagus font on an xbox with anything other than the 4034 kerneled xbox? This is my next step. Though I doubt it will work. So far its looking like anyone with a 4034 kerneled box will be just fine and dandy but if you have any other bios on the xbox and use the COMPLEX-Loader with the bert and ernie reloaded font back your just going to have to wait for the COMPLEX folks to release a newer version that adds DVD authentication support for the kernel3 plugin(s).
** PLEASE NOTE **
Be warned that if you use the original bert is cheating on ernie exploit on any xbox that is running a kernel version other than 4034 you will get stuck in the endless loop. And its a bitch to get out.

Post by: Wooger on July 16, 2003, 05:33:00 AM
6. Kernel non-4034 + snuffleupagus.xft from BICOE + bert from Bert and Ernie Reloaded: + !Loader v1.1/v1.0: ?
I will try these two things tonight after work. But I doubt they will work.
Also to note the endless loop problem can be corrected by putting a REAL xbox game in the dvd drive and waiting for it to boot. It will take some time so be patient. The xbox will reboot numerous times before hand but one time it will boot.
Also I have noticed that if you have the wrong fonts installed and the endless reboot begins it only takes 4 to 5 reboots before the xbox game will boot. Were as if the clock actually goes dead or looses its info it takes MUCH longer. Like one time I had to wait for almost 2 hours.

It sounds promising honestly.... BUT... if my guesses are correct it chances are will not work. I have a feeling the problem lies in how the executable is being mounted on bootup by the font exploit. Regardless of whats in the drive during boot. If the version of Evox is a more recent version then it should work yes. This chances are will not work with the !Loader-Complex dash. You will have to boot evox as your main dash first and have an item on your list to load the !Loader-Complex Dash.
The only reason that I say to use the loader dash as an option is because it does the .xbe signing on the fly. Were as if you used evox you would have to sign all your .xbe files to get them to boot with the font exploit properly.
But we shall see...

Well for starters how deep is the executable your using to make the link to? The $ sign in <apps$> Should only be used if the default.xbe file is tucked away deep in a folder under a folder under a folder deal. I havent looked into why they have you put the $ in the name but I suspect it has something to do with long file name support on the filing system.
I have to play with a few things myself when it comes to that. For some reason I can't get XBox Media Player version 2.4 to boot on a non modchip exploit. I know its possible. People have done it. I've just been to busy working on this D drive authentication issue.

SO I went back to the original dash using Krakens method and for somereason it said the year was 8034 or something like that so I fixed it to the right time and wham I couls play my original DVD's again i hope this helps you guys.

Playing original games isnt the problem.
What is happening is if you have an xbox on the 4817 kernel and boot into either Loader or Evox it doesnt authenticate the drive so you can FTP into it and pull the game information off.

| Hi Wooger im intested in ur sentence: >'The only reason that I say to use the loader dash as an option is >because it does the .xbe signing on the fly.

I used the phoenix on a 4034/4034 // then removed it with the reloaded by that; i shot my dashboard due to i forgot the settings were on auto-resume // no err msg so i simply forgot --> should b thought of in the next tutorial now i have alreadey unlocked // booted on a modded // recovered the original BICOE // locked hd but i still get err16... will i have to sign these fonts before copying ?! or is this another security-mechanism ? |
No you shouldnt have to sign the fonts... the fonts are actually what execute rogue code. You would sign any .xbe file to use that exploit in the xbox.
I don't fully understand your short hand there sorry...
What exactly is the problem? And what did u do?

As for everyone else, hello and thanks for all the great help I've read from you all. My current setup is K5101 D490x, it boots to Evox using the Reloaded fonts, and Complex is available as an App.
As with all of you I too cannot read the DVD via FTP. In Evox its a duplicate of C, in Complex it shows the Video_TS folder, and the yellow button fails to authenticate the drive.
I tried the Time fix by unplugging all night and booting with a game in, it went in to the infinate loop. (Easily fixed by putting a network cable in the xbox so it could find the smnp server and get the time).
I'm at a dead end now, has anyone found a surefire fix for reading DVD contents in evox or Complex using the font exploit?
Thanks in advance

I tried the same fix and thought that I had wrecked my XBox, but I left it for a while and it eventually booted into Evo-x. It seems to take varying lengths of time to boot though. I tried it last night and after 30 minutes it hadn't booted, so I tried replacing the game in the drive with 007 to try and boot that and sort it out, it then booted to Evo-x and I couldn't ftp the files I wanted off of the disc because I had swapped discs. I tried it again this morning and it booted after about 30 seconds.

This was resolved later by evox writing in there code to "unmount" the D drive once evox was booted. Same thing goes for anyone that is running a version of complex or evox for that matter that see's the same thing on the C Drive as the D Drive. Its mounting the .xbe and the folder content to D.
Complex fixed this by adding the Y button refresh in there dash. Which was nice BUT since you have to have an actual xbox game authenticate (similar to vob unlocking in dvd movies) to read the content ver 1.0 of complex really didnt help much on any model other than the 4034 due to the fact that in order to unlock the media / drive they have to make a dll call to the 4034.dll file which in turn calls the bios to spin the drive and do the hashing it needs to unlock the dvd content.
Now since the MOD3.dll is different when trying to use the complex ver 1.0 it will refresh the TOC of any media that doesnt need unlocked.... but media that is locked it just basicly ignores. Thats why when you hit Y with the xbox game in the drive it doesnt look like it did anything and you still see the VIDEO_TS folder.
Now since the MOD3.dll is differnent when trying to use the complex ver 1.1 dash it will refresh the TOC of any media that doesnt need unlocking since thats just a very easy call made, but the media that it locks it attempts to make the bios call to call the hashing procedure in the bios and it yacks cause the bios hash is different from 4034 to 4817.
This is why I don't think were going to really ever have a solid way around this till complex updates there code for the newer bios's.

Furthermore, load up Kraken's Dash from Evox, and Movie DVD's now work flawlessly!
Remote control works just fine, with all buttons and no reset.
EVEN better, X2 IGR now returns you to the EVOX dash from the DVD movie. What more could we ask for?
Of course, turning on XBOX with the movie in the drive will still give you a jacked remote control.
I am exstatic here!
Only question is that still ominous clock reset problem. But now that everything else works great, I am willing to test the clock more thouroughly.

D: 1.00.4920
Alright guys...first post but heres my situation... I did the font loader mod yesterday following Mad_Gouki's tutorial (http://www.sbeyer.ne...ouki/part1.html) and now boot evoX flawlessly. I can run XBMP, xSnesX, Nester X, etc., and even fixed the MS Dashboard using the hex editor, but the only way to launch a game is by booting with it in the drive... even if I go to the MS Dashboard from within evoX, I still get a black screen of death when trying to boot a disc. I've disabled all auto run in evoX, but still when i put the disc in it boots and the system crashes. Any ideas? Otherwise this mod has worked perfectly...oh, it should be noted, I can't launch DVD movies in XBMP without crashing also...it seems that once evoX has launched, the D: drive is unusable. Any help would be greatly appreciated
