Title: Decyphring The Eeprom.bin File
Post by: JimmyGoon on February 10, 2005, 05:40:00 PM

Can anyone give me any tips on how to decypher a eeprom.bin file in a C++ program.

I assume that ldots knows because that would be required in the xboxHDM project.

I'm writing an app that will teach you how to put a SC FTP gamesave on the xbox. Guides you through using Evox's Backup and then retrieves the EEPROM file and THEN teaches the user to write down his IP address.

Then it moves into the area where you pick Dash, Apps, Etc... and hit go and it uses FTP to do every thing for you.

Supposed to be very n00b friendly... all I need is a way to figure out what VER of xbox they have. If its not easy or anything I will probably just include that and have them write it down and select it themselves on the FTP page... so

thanks... hopefully for the information that will come forth...

BTW: My program will contain no MS files at all... just a FTP program that copies directories... so this SHOULD be legal.... I think.... if not... then post it here and I will try to edit my post to make it so.

www.xbox-linux.org has eeprom info, and might as well browse the usual places too..

thanks... I dunna if that will tell me what I need to know... but If not I will begin sending PM's....

** Yeah... I don't think thats what I want... Maybe it is and I just am not interpreting it right... but what I'm looking for is code for a Win32 app that will pull out the Xbox Ver from an EEPROM file....

any other hints... snippets of code are good too!

If it doesn't then you might wanna leave it to ppl who understand it..  The last thing we need is a badly written eeprom app..

lol... you miss understand... My app is an FTP/Mod application.... I want code so that it will READ the XBOX VER out of the eeprom...

Ok, I'll allow that, but can't you just read it out of hddinfo.txt..

Actual version isn't discernable, but eeprom type obviosly is..  Since he isn't dumping it himself (reading it directly I mean) then there will most likely be a hddinfo.txt right beside the eeprom.bin, and the version is already decoded and printed to that file.. Read it out of the text file or fear the wrath of Occam..
