Krayzie Ndure Installer (Gamesave Style), Official Thread Options

[krayzie]

there should be ways to detect the kernel version but it requires you to be some wizkid and put together some xbe that scans the kernel version. From my understanding an xbox that doesn't work with the generic fonts have yet to be discovered.

Hi krayzie,
First I would to congratulations! I did a VERY GOOD work on this installer.
BTW, I have a Xbox (v1.6) which generic fonts don't work, I got some issues with them.
i.e. If I reboot the xbox via EvolutionX menu with the tray open, the xbox frooze in a black screen. So, I put the fonts for kernel 5838, then it works fine.
Hope, you know what I'm doing wrong or if the xbox just work with generic fonts.
Thx

Well there the first experiencing problems with generic. since you allready solved it by setting the specific fonts you do nothing wrong.

Nice installer. Its a shame UnleashX never (appears to) provides an option to pass on the kernel version to another XBE, because the information handling systems it provides are pretty complex itself.

Some guy on IRC asked me of he had the 'real version' of Krayzie's installer so here's some MD5 hashes:

bed720271e9e4a016603d86ef0f758bb *Krayzie_007_Ndure_Installer_v1.0.rar
6a8170f47ae4127a82d8dffc308df626 *Krayzie_MA_Ndure_Installer_v1.0.rar
ba9181ca38b1cd7e1cf064f5bed660d4 *Krayzie_SC-NTSC_Ndure_Installer_v1.0.rar
d349d2642995d771a530997094f26fcb *Krayzie_SC-PAL_Ndure_Installer_v1.0.rar

MD5summer.com is where the utility I used to generate these hashes is downloadable.

If I have the free time I'll make an Ndure Complete.
I just haven't kept up with these new tri-boot XBE's and such so I have no idea where to start off.

Now available at your favourite usual place. 

I rarely break the rule if using just plain English on these forums, but this release calls for a congratulation in Dutch....

Je hebt de lat weer hoog gelegd. Weer absolute klasse! Proficiat, ben nu de final aan het uitpluizen, had helaas wat weinig tijd voor de beta, maar probeer als gebruikelijk mijn steentje bij te dragen!

Cheers!

-=If you get a rename error during initial installation using krayzie's ndure installer 1.0=-
Double Check:
-c:\xboxdashdata.185ead00\ exists (5960 Dashboard)
-You have run the eeprom backup (e:\backups\eeprom\backup\eeprom.bin exists)
-c:\msxboxdash.xbe does not exist
-c:\xboxdash.xbe exists
-c:\test\ does not exist
-e:\backups\eeprom\backup\test.bin does not exist
-e:\UDATA\########\############\config.xml exists
-e:\UDATA\########\############\config1.xml does not exist
-e:\UDATA\########\############\config2.xml exists

I'm pretty sure this list is ordered by probability.. Previous mods/attempts may cause these issues.. No other condition will cause a rename error during initial installation...

[don_m3g4]

so should i update my softmod to this new softmod, or am i still ok with the old 2.8 version.

[krayzie]

@ don_m3g4: If you feel satisfied with what you are using now there's no real need to upgrade.

@ triggernum5: Thanks for going through my script and exctract the rename lines. Next version will contain the "improved" scripts.

@ soullar: Geen probleem. Dank voor het testen en heb dankzij jou toch een paar kleine aanpassingen kunnen maken.

[Minotaur]

Is it possible to disable Multiboot? I am wondering if it's possible to do this, and then do in to network/Live settings by running MSdash from EvoX or UnleashX. If so, this would be much easier than having to turn the softmod on and off in order to change network settings.
Cheers.

"network" and "live" settings aint exactly the same. Network/video/audio settings are saved in the EEPROM, and since the modded state uses a virtual eeprom (unmodded used the real eeprom) they differ.

My suggestion: Use the settings tab in M$ dash (unmodded) to change the real eeprom settings. You cant use the live dashboard unless you unmod your c drive. Use any dash to change the network settings in modded state.

You can also remove the virtual eeprom by replacing your nkpatcher (run a BIOS loader or savegame exploit to disable the virtual C) BUT beware that you dont edit/flash your eeprom with shit then or your box wont boot (hard to do but not impossible).

i've been discusing this with Eh/NP already and it seems the Network settings are not stored in the (Virtual) eeprom. There's a whole paragraph in the readme on how to adjust network settings for xblive use.

Removing the shadow eeprom won't do any good anyway since the then real eeprom is write protected and returns to default on each power cycle.

[Cio]

O.o the virtual eeprom doesn't store network settings? Hmz thats new to me. Seems weird though.

Replacing NKpatcher or running a BIOS loader should remove any eeprom "protection" (shadowing or write protecting) as i suggested, but isn't needed (from what i understand).

Why did you take the readme offline BTW, im kinda curious but dont have any FTP apps right now.

It seemed weird to me too. you can view the readme on xbins.org

Great, thx, now i get the ID.

Form what i understand nkpatcher boots E:\dashboard\default.xbe right?

(i'm making an app install disk and i figured i should use a more stadard path then apps\avalaunch\avalaun.xbe since thats kinda bias towards evox/unleashx/xbmc users)

You wont mind me making some compatibility right? (BTW nice work on including "VGA" support, smart move!)

[quadriko]

where can i find the source code for the fonts included in this ndure installer package and can anyone provide the crc32 or the md5 of the xonlinedash.xbe from the 4920 dash? tia.
