Don't hacked bios have no shadow c: ...surely thats got to be the absolute must especially considering the unstoppable momentum of the noob with the delete file option found in many dashes... not to mention a virtual eeprom, the protection for I must screw up my xbox at the earliest opportunity crowd with a nice spanky config magic application.
is the only difference between a debug and retail bios
the two XOR keys (kernal_thunk and entry_ point)
or is there more to it ?
Debug BIOSes look to e:\dashboard.xbx for the XBE to boot. And have built-in FTP capabilities (well, I assume they do, as the xbox is single-threaded) for taking screenshots/videos, transferring debug code, etc.
I can only list features, seeing as I do not have the capabilities to actually dissasemble the BIOS itself.
Allright, just installed this on my Xbox (Krazie's Ndure 1.0 of course), and it works flawlessly. Now the only thing left is to find a tut on how to make screenshots, but I didn't search, yet. I only noticed one thing. Now RoE (Reset on Eject from DVD launched xbes) seems to be (or rather definately is) disabled. Is this necessary, or can I just replace the current NKpatcher with a RoE enabled one? If I can, could you just post the cofig file you used so I can edit it to my needs?
Thanks in advance
Horscht
Well, some sort of edit.
I got myself the XDK tools installed, and taling screeshots from DVD games seems to work fine. I also tried a few programs that were in the XDK launcher (Dolphin and playfield for example) and I also noticed that it has a remoteX entry (EvoX for those who don't know). I launched that and wanted to launch a game from HD. Well, the list is empty so I guess it wont read anygames from the F: drive. I am using a 1.6 xbox, therefore have the 1.6 BIOS installed. Is there some way to LBA48 patch the debug BIOS?
Thanks in advance, again
Horscht
Nah, I am talking about RoE on the non XDK mode. That one still runs with NKP, right?
Just compile one that moves the shadow C to E:\shadowc.img
That's the only difference.
Regarding loading games from the HD:
I put UnleashX into the E:\devkit\samples\ folder so I can use that instead of EvoX, it only started recognizing the games on my F drive after replacing the Config.xml with a more up to date one. It does appear to lock up whilst scrolling sometimes though...
So, the bootpaths are
E:\Dashboard\default.xbe when closed and
E:\Dashboard\altdash\default.xbe when opened, right?
that's all I need to set specificaly for it to work?
EDIT: i now know why it won't show my games on the F drive. It uses a .67 debug bios, but I need a .06 one. I'll search around for that, perhaps there is one in the usual place.
Exactly. I don't have the .06/.67 problem, since my xbox only has an 80gb drive, which is fine for me, but didn't allow me to test out LBA48 stuff...
sounds cool, i just wish i knew how to get it
Apologies for the bump, but is there any chance of getting a seed (or should I wait for v2.0
)?
I am working on version 2 currently. This was just a basic package, v2 will include lots of features, such as:
Uninstall (I hope you don't need this, but it's usefull for upgrading)
Alt. Debug Dash
Alt. ShadowC location (E, F, or G)
and more...
Just to wet your appetite.
Wow. Deadparrot. Extreamly nice work. It runs Flawlessly on my Third Xbox. (Sig). Cant Wait for V2.
I just got around to checking out the later XDK releases (5849 and 5933) and realized that you may have problems installing them using v1. I would not recommend using it to install anything but 4627 until v2.
v2 currently supports install and uninstall of 4627 and 5849. 5933 coming soon.
I may release a v1.5 to simply get 5849 and 5933 support out there, then add extras into v2. I hope to have something out sometime next week.
Stay tuned for updates.
I've finally got the install/unistall scripts done, so hopefully, I'll have a release out soon. Just got to do the documentation.
If you know how to setup a dual-boot, you should be able to figure out how it works by extracting the ISO and looking through the config.xml in there.
Also, if someone would be kind enough to explain in detail how dual-boots are implemented (file locations) with other Ndure setups, I will include support.
{= DJSymmetry; http://forums.xbox-s...dpost&p=1504054 =}
M8 is only used on the disc to bypass NKPatcher. The installer deletes xboxdash.xbe from E:\XDK\C\ before installing.
can somebody please seed this? there are no seeders..
I am releasing v1.5 probably tomorrow. I'll see if I can have it up on Xbins too.
It's not out yet. Still haven't had a reply from Iriez. I don't want to go torrent again, but I may have to.
Im pretty sure thats still the old version of the debug installer on the torrent site... unless the one I found is some copy of it...
Well, I gave in and put up a new torrent. Same place. Just hope it works properly since I can't use mongo anymore...
Anyway, here's the changelog:
QUOTE
From v1.0 to 1.5
* Added support for 5489 and 5933 versions of the XDK
* Added uninstall scripts for 4627, 5849, and 5933
Proposed changes from v1.5 to v2.0
* Alt. Debug Dash
* Alt. ShadowC Placement options (F:\ and G:\)
* NKP SOG support (possibly incompatable with debug)
* More Debug BIOSes/Loaders
* Ndure for PC Support
Please note that v2.0 will not happen any time soon. I am incredibly busy, GCSEs are catching up with me.
Interested in checking this out. Seeds?

I'm sorry, my PC has had some major downtime for the past few days. Had to re-format and the lot. Fortunatley all my Xbox stuff is on another drive, so it's all safe. Just got to re-gather the whole thing back together again.
Is there any chance of getting this onto Xbins or maybe a different distribution method? I'm on a college network, and all P2P protocols are disabled. I can't download any torrents or use any P2P clients/networks at all. ...And by the sounds of it, there's no seeders. So even if I could use BT, I wouldn't be getting it.
C'mon, Iriez, please host this

I contacted Iriez ages ago and never got a reply. I had to re-format my pc recently, so my installed programs are a bit out of whack, which means no BT atm.

Umm I've read this whole thread and it's half confused me. Can I get this working with an already installed Ndure v1.1 and have it as dual-boot (eject specifically). If so can someone walk me through it please?
I need to get the debug bios running on my machine and I don't know where to start really.
All you have to do is read the instructions it comes with, and run the installer from the disk. It will do exactly what you want, provided you choose the right options. And yes, it works on NDure 1.1.
Yeah i think everyone would like this now, considering how much you've boasted about it.

Hey deadparrot if you e-mail it to me I can host it on badongo and some other places? Let me know and I'll PM you with my e-mail addy if you want.
If I wanted to host it myself, I could. But that defeats the point, since if it's on Xbins then it is in one place that can be easily referenced to without a direct link.
Has anyone ever got debug running on a softmodded before?
You also talked of a manual method, do you have a link to this, cos this crappy google search is somewhat unhelpful.
Here is the manual install package.
I can link to it, becasue it contains no XDK code or XDK files. NKPatcher and PBL are compiled without the use of the XDK. You will have to supply your own BIOS, and I suggest not using my dashboard.xbx re-write. I can't remember if it works. Just use your own.
I haven't looked at this in months, so I honestly can't remember if it uses the most up to date method, and bear in mind this was designed for XDK 4627.
hey will the v1.5 installer that i have work with krayzie's UXE instead of Ndure?
(if not i can use the manual install package right? how come it says at the bottom of the readme you'll just get a green led and a black screen? what's the point if you just get a black screen.)
It only works with NDure., no matter which install method you choose.
As for the manual install, I packaged that up ages ago, so I just checked it. Do NOT use it. Looks like that was the original principle which involved multiple NKPatchers and loading the XDK from a shadowC, which has now been abandoned, with the discovery that XDK's Xboxdash.xbe is not actually needed.
I may see if I can come up with a working manual package which can be freely distributed later.

I sent Iriez a PM asking about this, and to see if it could be hosted on Xbins. We'll see what happens.
Mines a 1.1 box, I have no idea about the 1.6... I think you have to use a different bios to ind-bios though. Yes you must obtain it from the usual places though.
Wait for someone to correct me about this though.
iND may be great, but it's got no Xcalibur support, so no 1.6 support.
well Adoubeur is the bios with this used for 1.6, could i use a config file from that bios?
QUOTE(^MysticMage^ @ Apr 18 2006, 10:40 PM)

It doesn't have a config file so it only loads what e:\dashboard.xbx tells it (you can edit it in a hex editor) which is by default c:\xshell.xbe.

[email protected] or just pm i would really appreciate it. I got the XDK and everything. So im ready to fire this thing up
Deadparrot posted a link for the manual install files on the previous page. Here's the link http://www.x-tremeup...491341a97f33c4d.
The install files are out of date though. Be careful using it.

You're better off not using it at all. It's the old process which was scrapped before the installer which means the manual install doesn't actually work. I released it ages ago to see if I could get other people to make suggestions as to how to get it to work.
QUOTE(kurt_powers69 @ Apr 19 2006, 11:41 AM)

Which way are you trying to get it to work? My way works

.
Trying to get it to dual-boot with that package doesn't work. Which was the original intention.
Deadparrot i got everything set followed all your instructions but for some reason when i put install xdk files for 5849 it trys to install the files in the E drive and then it fails to finish to install the rest of the files it just says batch fail and something any answers any thought of what it might be. I would love to get this to work.
And the Nk patcher is doing the same thing and i dont a my shadow c i think i messed something pm if you can help anybody i got everything set krayzies softmod installed perfectly. I just cant get the xdk to install. thank you
Well why not just rearrange the files, you don't need the xdk dash really. Put PBLMetoo in altdash and set krayzies to dual-altdash mode. Have ind-bios.cfg load up their normal dashboard. Then it's running the debug bios with their dash.
Was that refering to me cause if it is im going to try it now. and how do i get ind-bios.cfg to load their dash. I cant help but i never been lost before not really catching what you saying.
CODE
DASH1=\Device\Harddisk0\Partition1\Dashboard\default.xbe
As well as change CODE
USEXBX=1
to CODE
USEXBX=0
After you've done this, look for multi-boots in the extras menu and set it to dual-altdash. Turn your xbox off then back on using the eject button.
I dont know if im losing it but i def dont see xbdm.ini, I did exactly what you said without the xbdm.ini file being where it should, because i couldnt find it. I still get a black screen of pain. Thank you for the help. We are getting progress.
Whoops my bad about the xbdm.ini. Download XIG2 from the usual places, it has xbdm.ini in it.
Now can you tell me what softmod you have and what xbox version? Also tell me exactly what you did.

Softmod= Krayzies Ndure Installer
Xbox Version= 1.1
Main Dash= Xbmc
Second Dash= Ms Dash 5960 ( for Now)
And i have done everything you said so far. Im going to grab xbdm.ini right now. I grabbed XIG2 and didnt find xbdm.ini
Got the xbdm.ini
So now if you've set it up right, it should boot to the debug-bios using the eject button. I hope you realise there is no XDK dashboard, it will say Loading Ind-Bios then go blank, then boot upto XBMC with the debug bios running
Hi guys i have been trying to install xdk on my box for a while but am having a problem. my xbox is a ver 1.0 and softmodded using krayzies ndure installer and running unleashx as my dash. I have the xdk ver 5849. i followed hydras info on how to get the dash files out of the recovery exe. i then proceeded to transfer the files to the xbox (only the ones he said in his tutorial) then i installed the adoubeur loader (without changing anything in his cfg file) when i reboot the xbox and run the loader it starts to load and then give me an error msg 13 telling me that something is wrong with the dashboard files. i am completly lost can anyone help me?
thanks.
Have you got dashboard.xbx in E:\ and xshell.xbe in c:\?
Did you copy over the media folder to c:\?
Is it just the media folder from the original 5960 dash? If it doesn't contain certain font file (I'm sure they are just .ttf's) in C:\Media\ it will give you error 13.
Also, check that all your .xip's are there.
Can someone seed or send it to me at [email protected]?
Did this ever make it to xbins? Sound s like a good way to go for a softmod.
Yeah, I'd love to give this a go as well if I could get ahold of the files. Has it made it to Xbins? or do you need seeders for the different trackers?
Dude this exploit sounds AMAZEING, and i reallly want to try it out... mabey u could just post 1.5 on some fileupload site just for now i REALLLLY WANT THIS
is this on xbins?
how can i get this to work with a TSOP'ed xbox?
bump.. some one make a torrent.. cant seem to find a one with seeds..
QUOTE(error_55o @ May 1 2007, 05:14 PM)

is it possible to run this like an app? eg, I use XBMC as main dash but if i want to load unleashX I go in to apps and run it from there.
also can it be used with the splinter cell pal softmod (sid 3.1)?
No, and no.
Also, development of the installer as a standalone project has ceased.
Something more may come of this in the future, but until then...
