Re: Reverted back to original dashboard
That's the thing to try first, definitely. However, I did what you did accidentally, many moons ago deliberately ie. activated a game's dashupdater.xbe, just to see how easy it was to recover (SID.5.11) and what I found was that the Splinter Cell exploit/installer saves did not work again. I had a b...

Re: Reverted back to original dashboard
Softmod or chipped/TSOP? There are a few games that do what you have experienced without warning. Many others include a dashupdater.xbe along with a game updater too and may do it too, especially if the Xbox is internet connected or an attempt to connect to Xbox Live is made. It is why with most Xbo...

Re: FTP Game copy problem
What BIOS and where did you get it? My guess would be your BIOS does not support the use of a partition table needed for HDD partitions larger than 137GB. Users who format HDD with a partition table but use a Xbox BIOS that doesn’t support partition tables can run into just the sort of problem you d...

Re: How do I install the latest version of XBMC?
Not sure what the point was of quoting my five year old reply concerning the OPs secondary question but I suppose it might usefully bump this thread for anyone interested. Can you post a screenshot of this XBMC "Downloads" option? I've been using XBMC as an app since 2006 and I've never se...

Re: Downloading mods for Xbox Games?
I'm not sure what the poster of that information is talking about. I went looking for the mod in question and all I can find is other forums where the same 'advice' is repeated. If there is a mod download it should not require the XBMC dashboard specifically to download and install it. That suggests...

Re: Programs doesn't populate even with source added
The Programs > Apps folder shouldn't be blank if the path is correct so use the XBMC file manager to check that E:\Apps, F:\Apps and G:|Apps or wherever your applications folders are located (they can be all three) are actually there and you've not double stacked them. By that I mean for example E:\...

Re: Programs doesn't populate even with source added
I think it might be a fairly simply thing. Under Programs find the Apps folder or whatever it is called. Now click (B)ack and that should highlight what you call the root folder being used. Then use the WHITE button context menu and the option to Remove Default on that folder. On restarting XBMC, un...

Re: Rocky5 softmod, Splinter Cell save stuck at checkpoint
Are you using the correct region Splinter Cell save? There's one for PAL and another for NTSC and in my experience all items ie. game, console region and saves have to be region identical. I've made that mistake myself when re-modding from scratch a previously region changed (PAL > NTSC) Xbox. If th...

Re: XPR express error
I thought Rocky5 had already done that with his update of XPR Express. His tweaked version works on Windows 7 Pro 64bit; I tested that recently and it unpacks and packs things like the XBMC Textures.xpr without any problem. Only issue I had was that like some other Xbox tools (XPR FontMaker) it does...

Re: What software do I need to get things working again?
Why you're getting XBMC in 720p but games in 576i is a XBMC settings issue is..............odd. The console must be set to NTSC and you be using a Component connection to be offered 720p for the dash display. So why you're not using the noticeably superior 480p option for games I don't understand. A...

Re: Xbox No Longer Powers On
The LED and colours you describe are non-standard so it is difficult to say what it means. The Xecuter X3 I don't know that well but I'm guessing the blue light is the chip is on/working indicator like the Xecuter 2.6CE (which I do own). I think the short solid red LED ring around the tray eject/clo...

Re: Dead DVD Drive on 4 Xbox
Some DVD drive faults (Philips ones in particular) seem to disable or nullify the no DVD drive check and instead you may get an error 10. 11 or 12. But more often, at least that is what I found, you'll get an error 7 which although cited as a HDD error can actually mean any problem on the IDE connec...

Evox M8+ BIOS from other well known original Xbox forum sources will either be set up for "No DVD" check by default or can be modified by using the EVTool to do so. Other BIOS like the X2 and IND ones require a different editing tool but again if you get the BIOS from the same sort of plac...

I had a look at this using my testbed copy of XBMC v3.5.3 and the JX720 skin. There seems to be a minor problem with the skin in that it is not remembering the folder view in the "apps" blade > Programs. When I clicked on Programs it showed a blank page with "0" items. Only if I ...

Re: Xbox boots into black screen
Error 13 suggests that however you installed it the dashboard is not where it should be. I do not know enough about XBHDM to be able to explain how that can happen let alone offer a solution. With eeprom available it should be fixable even if you have to set up another HDD to do that but I think you...

Re: Xbox boots into black screen
Several options if you have a working softmodded HDD. 1). You can use the original softmodded retail HDD and clone it with Chimp 261812 to a new HDD or the, wiped, 'problem' HDD. You should be able to do the latter by using Chimp to unlock the HDD as Slave after its swapped in however sometimes that...

Re: Xbox boots into black screen
Yes, with a softmod or retail state Xbox the HDD is (and must be) locked to be able to use it. If you still have the original softmod exploit/installer files in place and the original game disc you used to softmod the Xbox then try cold booting that. It would allow you to get to the installer dash (...

Re: Xbox boots into black screen
Sounds like the softmod is still OK and that you've just messed up your main dash installation somehow. How did you burn HeXEn? The only 'universally' compatible disc media is DVD-R (and good brand should be OK) preferably burned using ImgBurn as its default settings. Using its "Write image fil...

Re: How to disable "persistent softmod" ?
XBMC is 'just' a dashboard like UnleashX or EvoX, in simple terms the alternative GUI you have installed to replace the original MS dash. XBMC comes in 'standard' XBMC4Xbox form but there are several other versions for the Xbox customised for various purposes too. I do not know about the other stuff...
