Title: Questions Concerning Nkpatcher (default.xbe And Triboot)
Post by: roveer on March 08, 2006, 01:06:00 PM

First question:  Is there a utility that will allow me to see the settings of an already compiled default.xbe?  I'm guessing not, but it's worth a try.  I used UXE and xboxhdm as my method of softmodding and then had to use NKPatcher to make some changes, but I'm interested in seeing what all of the original settings were.

Second question:  after using the new default.xbe (needed to recompile to set up virtual C: and virtual eeprom, I decided to look at the triboot option.  Pressing the power button brings up the evox dash, and pressing the disk eject button (to power on), should bring up the original MS Dash, but instead it gives an Error 21.  I'm pointing at the xboxdash.xbe on drive c: and when in XBMC I can run this file and it does start the msdash.  Any ideas on what is going wrong here?

Thanks,

Roveer

You're pointing it to the exploited xboxdash.xbe on the ACTUAL C drive.  What you're launching from XBMC is in the ShadowC.  You need to point it to something like C:\msxboxdash.xbe or whatever the retail xbe has been re-named to.

mmm..I always thought the virtual c: was set up before booting the dash. It sounds like the tri boot option on the eject button doesn't load the virtual c: .So i guess a f0nt hacked M$ dash (for uxe) is needed on the real c: drive to make it boot the M$ dash.

I'm guessing the tri boot option was designed around the Ndure mod which doesn't need the f0nt hack but just a renamed xboxdash.xbe.

you can also use nkpatcher_11_U02.. nkpatcher has option to boot with eject tray with shadowc on.. so it will boot ms dash inside shadowc.. or you can point nkpatcher to msdash.xbe ( in real C drive)..

I'm guessing the purpose of the CD eject button running ms dash is to give access to xbl?  I'll never use XBL (Xbox Live), because I'm really only using the xbox as a platform for xbmc, but I have and will put a few games on the HD and run them from inside xbmc.  

I'm thinking that having the eject button point to the real c msdash.xbe is probably the best method.  my noob question of the night is, is the real drive c: the partition8 location that I've been reading about?

Thanks,
