Soft-modding Your Xbox The Easy Way!

Yes Im using a crossover cable, sorry should of been a little more specific. Its kinda hard for me to use the router because I have to have my xbox hooked up some where else in the house and I'd have to run back and fourth. So If i can do it with the crossover cable in one room it'd be better. Also we just went to a netgear router and its setup is a little bit different then our linksys one we had I'm gonna have to get familiar with it :\ I downloaded smartftp also but I still can't connect to the thing.

try changing ip addresses and make sure that your ip's are the same, on the computer and xbox, also make sure you have ftp enabled on your xbox

Not trying to disagree but on my Xbox ( with Evox dash) the ip on my PC is one digit different than the one on my Xbox Evox dash settings and it works (both the same don't). Not sure if it's the same for everyone tho.

They should be different but the network connection should be the same. However if your using a different addy to ftp than is the one that the console uses then thats bizarre. I cant imagine how you would connect like that. Although Im guessing your just referring to the fact that they have different addys which they should.

As for issues connecting I know using an ftp app is much better. Try changing the addy on the ftp app and the console so they are both 192.168.0.5 or 192.168.1.5 while setting the console to a static addy which I think is a much better way to go to take the guess work out of getting it right. Also wanted to say thanks for this guide as its great...

I'm stuck and have no clue how to get out of this. I've gotten th einstall files copied to my drive. I run the AUF save and get to the new menu. I choose "Install UBE". I then choose UBE2, then the next thing it asks me is something that's not listed on the instructions on the first page. It asks me if I want to install "PB something" or "nktpatch" (or something similar. I'm not in front of my console to verify the exact names). I believe I chose the PB choice the first time. Then it asks me if I want to install MXM or EvoX. I chose EvoX. Then it takes me to a startup screen for Linux. It has 2002 XBox Linux Team copyright notice and I have a green dot somewhere around the upper left center of my screen. After that... nothing. I left it for well over 45 minutes the first time and got nothing. I went back later and tried to reinstall it by choosing that other option (that nkt one) and still nothing. Last night, my 2nd attempt sat running while I slept. At least 9 hours later, it's still at that copyright screen. It doesn't sound like there's any hard drive activity at all after it gets to that screen. This morning I've now chosen to install UDE instead of UDE2. It's only been 10-15 minutes so far, but it's not looking promising. It's just sitting on that screen again with the yellow LED I've had each time. Anybody know what might be wrong here?

Check out www.xbox-scene.com/ and do a little reading. They have all the answers to any questions. I didn't know what the hell I was doing but I modded my Xbox in about 5 minutes... yes its that easy.

The only luck I had when reading up on that problem was a wiki-style FAQ which makes mention of this same Linux bootup with the green dot. The only resolution that they came up with on it was that it could be an issue with the HD cables. Sure enough, I'm using the Component cables with digital audio out. So I pulled the cables, ran Composite cables and still had no luck. It wasn't the HD output that was a problem.

I tried the MechAssault method with my copy, but it's possible my used copy I picked up quite awhile ago is a patched copy of the game because that didn't work either.

I now have a copy of Splinter Cell I got from eBay on the way to me and we'll try that. This is my last resort before I have to submit to chipping my system.

I used Splinter Cell, but I've heard that you can only use the origional and not the platinum version, also used Krayzie_SC-NTSC_Ndure_Installer_v1.0. I've heard it's the safest installer yet.

I made sure when ordering it off eBay that the game was an original and not the Platinum version, though I've heard of some people having success with the Platinum too. Once I get it, I have both the NDure 1.0 and the old Krayzee's 2.8 to try on it. Hopefully one of the 2 will work.

hello im new i was wondering if with the soft mod you could play ntsc/pal games on an ntsc xbox
