What media have you found to work the best SingaBoiy?

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:

I set it to max when I make xbox games since its dvdrom drive is so damn good. DVDDecrypter actually tops out at about 10x though. Just about 100% success rate.

@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?

Thanks! That has actually gotten a few more DVD games to work, but some releases I guess are just bad images or bad rips.

Is there a trick to burning images that are multi-language pack PAL? They never seem to work. Or should I just avoid PAL altogether with my NTSC XboX? I just thought PAL was playable on modded NTSC XboXs. :unsure:

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.

Nope, PAL should work just fine. Try clearing out your cache.

Thats the X, Y, and Z folders when you FTP. There is also a folder in C or D called CACHE. Delete everything in there too.

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.

Ive been wondering how do make XBMC as my dash also. I guess you stated it very clearly. Im wondering now if anyone else has done this. Im also wondering as you are if theres any drawback to doing this...
