Intstead of finding AUF can someone give me the saved game folder off there memory card? :rolleyes:

---

no, you need AUF to luanch the program tho. Even if the exploit is on the memory card, you still need something to luanch it. (witch auf does)

---

hes correcto [/b][/quote]
you can use the splinter cell game save exploit also...

but you would need splinter cell. and the splinter cell exploit file.

i was weondering, what if you had the save game from the origianl AUF put on the exploit file and used AUF platinum to activate it. Like load the save game. Would that work?

Make sure you burn at 2 speed just to be sure, nd remember there is no guarentue that your media will work, so you could hve just burned 3 coasters.

ridata G05 should be decent? and yeh i was burning @ 2x. I'm hoping it worked :o

You can burn at any speed, i havent had a problem with games. I only burned a couple tho, i only store them on my xbox. :) I burnt them at 4x, and no problem at all.

Alternate Way to Softmod the Xbox


Materials List:

• Xbox (with a BIOS version earlier than December 2003)
• USB adapter cable for the Xbox
• USB flash card drive (list of known compatible drives can be found at http://unmodded.mine.nu/docs/XboxUsbCompatibilityList) by flash drive we mean just about any USB memory device (digital cameras, memory sticks, etc)
• copy of the MechInstaller files, available at http://http://prdownloads.sourceforg...s.zip?download
• copy of the Xbox game "MechAssault" (versions below 1.6)

http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~ranma1/img/GameEtc.gif
Preparing the USB flash card:

1. The first step is to format the flash card for the Xbox. The Xbox will do this for you. Start the Xbox with no game in it. The program that runs when no game is inserted is called the Dashboard. Once the Dashboard has started, hook up the flash card via the USB adapter. After waiting several seconds, enter the memory menu in the Dashboard. If the flash card is not detected, exit the memory menu and wait several more seconds. The reason for waiting is allowing the Xbox time to format the flash card.

2. Once the Xbox has formatted the flash card check to see how much space is available on the flash card. The Xbox will not give you a number in megabytes but rather in "blocks" the unit of memory used by the Xbox. These should be the conversions for the following sizes. 8MB ~500 16MB ~1000 32MB ~2000 64MB ~4000 128MB ~8000 256MB ~16000 It may not exactly match one of the above numbers but it will be close enough that you should be able to tell which size you have.

3. Now remove the flash card from the Xbox and connect it to a PC. Put the MechInstaller file on the memory card. There is a different file for different size flash cards. Here is a list of filenames and the size of the card they will fit on: 8MB use MechInstaller-1.0-FATX-8MB-to-32MB.img 16MB use MechInstaller-1.0-FATX-8MB-to-32MB.img 32MB use MechInstaller-1.0-FATX-8MB-to-32MB.img 64MB use MechInstaller-1.0-FATX-64MB.img 128MB use MechInstaller-1.0-FATX-128MB.img 256MB use MechInstaller-1.0-FATX-256MB.img Now the flash card is ready.

Installing mechinstaller on the Xbox:

1. Once again, plug the flash card into the Xbox running the Dashboard and go to the memory menu.

2. Select the flash card, there should be a savegame file on it. Copy this file to the Xbox hard drive.

Using mechinstaller:

1. Disconnect the flash card drive and USB adapter. Plug in an Xbox controller and put in MechAssault.

2. When MechAssault starts up select "CAMPAIGN" and then "Install Linux". 3. This should install a minimal Linux system. Next time you start up your Xbox and go to the Dashboard there should be another item in the main menu called "Linux" this will start the minimal Linux system. From there, you can install a full version of Linux using a CD from http://xbox-linux.org .

Wow, sorry for the mix up h121589. When the board switched, it took some of the stuff out. There were 3 different guides to FTPing. Ill have to fix that later. For now Ill remove that part.

But you can use a router. Just use an ethernet cable and hook your xbox up to it.
Go to My Network Places. Hit add a network place.
Click "Choose Another Network Location". Next.
Type in ftp://xbox:[email protected].?.?:21 change the ? marks to the ip after the one your computer is using. Next. Change name to Xbox.
Go to you xbox Settings and change "Static IP" to "No".
Then change the IP to the one you entered before.
Restart you xbox. In the top left you should see "IP:192.168.?.?" Make sure that is the same as the one you entered on your pc. If it isnt remake the one on your with the new one on the xbox

My modding wont without any probs although iwasnt sure when to i could turn the xbox off, but my xbox is reading all my dvds so its cool. now all i need is a nic and a crossover cable.

Its more of what you prefer then whats better. I know that XBMC has a radio with thousands of stations. You can watch movie trailers and other stuff.

To install all you do is extract the zip/rar after you d/l it. Get the main folder that has the .xbe file in it. You can delete all the .txt files. Then drag that over to your xbox. It'll take a few seconds to copy everything. Then just restart your xbox.

Well it isnt the same ip as i entered and i dont get wut u are saying to do if it ip isnt the same as i entered

Go back to My Network Places and make a new connection as you did before only change the IP to what it says on the xbox. Just name it the same as before and it will replace the old one.

Do you see folders C through F then X though Z?

Use D as your main folder. Make an apps, games, and movies folder. Drag the XBMC to the Apps folder in D:
