Thanks for the info buddys :p,I really dont care about Xbox Live,the only thing i care about is watching my anime and video clips that are in divx,xvid, and ogg which have seperate subtitle files.
Sorry for all the questions but im getting a xbox soon and dont really want the whole system to not work cause of some little bug.
Ok here are my questions
Can I watch anime that have subtitles in them with xbox media center?.
If something goes wrong can i format my hdd and delete everything and start all over?.
of course dude i do it everyday
but if something goes wrong (which it shouldnt) i dont think putting a bandaid on it will help, if you are putting a new hdd in i reccomend you keep the orginal with all its files
If this is your main concern, just back up your original xbox hd after you softmod. Then if anything goes wrong later, you can just format and do a "fresh" install.Quote:

As long as its files such as demos and other languages, and the folder is the right size. 9 times out of 10 it will work :)Quote:

leave it how it is
soft modding didnt work on my mates 1.6 pal xbox so stfu emo kid. it did work on 4 other xboxes which arent 1.6 dash.
Just a question... I just soft-modded an XboX for a buddy for Christmas, but I was wondering, can I delete the shit that the soft-modding add's to the HDD? Like the Unknown Title that has the MXM avatar, and the AUF save game, and the Ltools backup?
Thought so...thank you!;)Quote:

I have never tried but I dont see a problem with doing so. I like to leave it on just in case.Quote:

If there are any other questions I missed or that have not been answer, please ask again and I will get to them as soon as possible.
Ok, got it! Thanks for the great guide and your help SingaBoiy--thanks to suprafreak6 also--appreciate the responses :D
I need some help here guys--i did the softmod on my original xbox using action replay/original james bond under fire game/agentunder_bondauf.zip files--i transferred everything fine and all was well until i rebooted --now i get the error 21 screen :blink: . Please help! I can get the games (originals) to work if i use the eject button so i can still access the itools page. Should i delete the Ude and try again? Thanks if you can give me a hand i'd appreciate it!
Here's my xbox stats:
K4034
D5960
zoey
P.S. I haven't used it for ftp or anything either and yes laymans terms please guys
21 means it was told to boot to that screen for "unknown" reason. I would say to go ahead and install the mod again. Should work ;)Quote:

example: a game might have two movie files called intro_NTSC.xmv and intro_PAL.xmv, but your xbox is set to NTSC so you don't need the PAL movies. delete intro_PAL.xmv, then make an empty text file and save it as intro_PAL.xmv in the folder that you deleted the movie file from. make sure that your computer has its options set to display file extensions, so that it doesn't create a file called intro_PAL.xmv.txt (this would be wrong and could possibly prevent the game from working). these blank files will not increase the size of the game, because the size of such a file is 0kb.
great tutorial, really usefull, but theres just 1 thing...
- how can i get the hacked 007 file onto the memory card using x-ploder?!
If its possible that is...
Please help me, i cant wait to get xbox media center working!
http://www.xboxmediacenter.com/
i have got xploder v1.0.0.19 and a PAL format for my xbox. If you need to know anything else then just ask. Thanks
How big of a difference does higher quality media make in quality game burning?
I mean, is there any certain DVD's that have a higher success rate at burning, as opposed to other cheaper media? I've been using these DVDr's for burning DVD's, however it seems that only about 1/2 to 1/3 of the games I download actually end up working at all...
What media have you found to work the best SingaBoiy?
Ok, well I used this tut about a month ago and everything worked great. But now I just got a 200gb seagate and installed it with xboxhdm and worked fine, but I'm only seeing 123gb on F:\. I used evox to enable it, and it shows as 0 still. I used RAW FTP commands to format G:\ and one time it showed up as having the extra 62gb, but I couldn't access it (in XBMC and FTP). so I reformatted the HD and started over. Now even with the format I can't get anything to show up.
Do I need to patch the bios here for LBA48 support? Or can I just replace the bios that nk is loading with X2 4983.06?
I'm using v1.0, UDE2, nk, and X2 4981. Should I use UDE1 or PBL? I think I used PBL originally and thats when i was able to format G. I can't remember exactly and I am at work right now.
Has anyone else been successful adding a 137+ with this package?
Hah, thats actually the media I suggest to people. I know there are different versions on the site. The ones I got last are supposed to be 8x but I can burn at 12x without any problems. :naughty:Quote:

@chump - it should be as easy as enabling it to look for the extra partition in the settings :)
Ahh so it's the app you use to burn with then? Nero probably is the problem as it tipically is a poor burning application... So you would suggest DVDDecrypter over Nero? What about Alcohol120?Quote:

Will this softmod process work with the newest xbox 1.6?
Sorry if this question has been asked already
Yes it does, I have soft-modded two 1.6 XboX's. The only difference I know about, is that when it is flashing and installing the dash, the screen goes all green and garbled, however when it's done installing, the LED will blink green, and you need to reset.Quote:

Also, in the evox settings, there should be a NTSC/PAL setting... change it to Auto.
OK. well I finally got my 200gb to show up on my v1.0. Just had to switch to m8 and pbl-metoo. But now I have another question.
I used to use XBMC as my dash, but now that i've upgraded my HD, i wanted to check. When used as my dash, will it still be able to read all of drive F? Or should I continue using evox? What is the advantage of using evox as the dash as opposed to xbmc? What I did was just replace the files in e:\dashboard with my xbmc files and moved evox into the apps folder, so i could still use it if needed.
Thanks.
dvd+r has worked on all systems i have found...but thats just me:01:Quote:

I'd also like to know if there are any advantages to keeping EvoX on there as well? Like an App, as Chumba31 has done?
Any one know how or where i can find xbox media center? Thanx
This worked like a charm. Thanks a ton.

The way the softmod works it refers to E:\Dashboard as I understand it. It works like a charm to just toss everything into that folder. You can do this while in XBMC or EVOX. What I suggest is backing up both folders first. For some reason all my files werent copied the first time and I lost a few so I had to reinstall completely. Remember, if something bad happens, just boot up with the trey open and reFTP or even reinstall the UDE if its that bad. I had to do it a million times the first time I tried making XBMC my dash by replacing the xboxdash.xbe or whatever it is on C:\. DO NOT DO THAT! Only replace the files in E:\Dashboard\Quote:

Evox is a pretty powerful piece of software and it doesn't hurt to have it, especially considering its small size. Also, it shows up as RemoteX on my apps list. So if youre looking for it, thats probably it.
I would really like to use this on my Xbox. I've heard two places that you shouldn't, but I can't figure out why not. Looks like it would do exactly what I want. Is a chip absolutely necessary? Are there any releases out there like this that would work with a soft mod?

What is soft modding exactly??
I need some help. There's like 75 pages to this thread.I don't feel like searching through all of them but I followed setup 1 all the way through and it tells me Windows can't access the folder and to check and see if the name of the folder is right.. Its all correct. Can some one help me out plz im getting confused. I'm connecting it to the ethernet adaptor for my pc (I don't know if the NIC and normal ethernet are the same or not. I'm assuming they are)
okay this is probly an ftp problem, im asking you are you using a cross over cable, when doing a xbox to computer you need to use a crossover cable
Or through a router, as I did.Quote:
