is it possible to set up a program that'll boot either an xbox game, in default, unhacked format, loading completely through MS style, and still have the box work on xbox live, then if there's no cd it gives me a choice of booting the msbios to bring me to an msdash, or to bring me to evox, and still use a stock hdd, so that if ms decides to implement any sort of hdd check/ban, then i'd still be fine for halo 2?
i have 2 xboxes, one will be my stock(hehe), halo 2 xbox live box, with a sammy, and the other my hacked box, with a busted
philips drive, that way i can backup games if i need to, but still be able to use the box for live...Boot sequence
- - - -
Checks for game cd
- on success, boot to game in a default ms environment
- on failure, options
1. Boot legit ms environment
2. Boot evox
just wondering if there's anything like this already... thx for your time

If they don't, which files do they check?

Why Should it ?
The retail Game Boots up the legit default.xbe on the dvdrom.
every other xbes are bypassed.

| It doesn't load the xboxdash.xbe at first. But when you go to xbl it will check if you have the right dash installed. Now it can update your xboxdash.xbe because you don't have the right xboxdash.xbe for the required xbl dashboard. Or am i completely wrong? Does it check other files, to verify you have the right dash? |
Ur not completely wrong
It does chk for other XBEs on the Retail DVD Game like download.xbe,update.xbe, dashupdate.xbe, etc...
apparently no xbes are chked on the HDD.
So the Retail Disc kinda works as a Boot Disc

& So updating ur Dashboard & Registering/Recovering ur Gamertag Online, will help to authenticate & verify all ur MS signed files to ur XBL a/c.
& updating your dash does not do anything to ur UDE/UDE2 as its not a Dashboard exploit.
So theres ur answer

The ultimate DASHBOARD exploit (UDE) is not a dashboard exploit? Is that what you're saying?

Its actually a XBE Expolit
So it shud be rename XBEE instead of UDE

| why would updating the MS dash stop the exploit, that's something i've never understood, i didn't think that the ude uses xboxdash.xbe |
it doesnt, but when m$ update, they update any exploited files!, basically to stop exploits from working!
Post by: Tsjibbe on July 29, 2004, 08:14:00 AM
Your exploited update.xbe renamed to xboxdash.xbe will be overwritten by this.

exactly adil  Thats where the Dual boot to Mini-linux comes in But they havent done anything that extreme yet, not on my xbox they didnt |

| Well I never thought of that part Becos it never came to this yet But I never had a Problem with Booting up the xbox with a GameSave Exploit yet on any thing that MS throws at Me So I guess thats the Sure Fire Solution Atm |
Not if the game region is changed.
But that should be fine. You have the MechAssault NTSC-J, I have the MechAssault NTSC/PAL. We can just swap the game when needed
In fact, giving that these 8G/10G drive is now costing like peanuts(10 US a pop on ebay), it may be cheaper just bid one and clone an existing one as backup. So if MS does anything bad, just swap in the working one and use my little hotswap DVD tricks to fix it. This may be even cheaper than getting a game :-)
