The “ultimate Dashboard Exploit” Aka Ude, Official thread! Options

[linuXBOX2]

hello, i dont have a crossover cable, so everytime i want to put sumthin on my xbox, i hotswap . Anyways, i use XBoxHDM (great program Ldots). In the part where i hafta get my MOMxboxdash.xbe to hex edit it, how would i do this, i am a newb to linux and i have no clue how to do this...i was thinking about putting it on a floppy(dont know if itll fit) but also i connnect my PC hard drive as a secondary master, so is possible to transfer MODxboxdash.xbe to a floppy or my Hard Drive using xboxhdm during a hotswap? this is the only part of teh UDE that i have yet to do, and my limited resources are plagueing the completoin of it. Other than that, great work to all of you guys that made this great thing possible

EDIT: im not sure if this information is need , but my PC runs win xp, so the hard drive is formatted to NTFS, also, i dont know how to format floppies to linux format (wow i sound like such the newb that i am)

EDIT2: i dont hot swap all the time, just when i did the exploit, and now, when i am trying to get MODxboxdash to my computer to hex edit it, since i dont see any other way

Hotswap everytime you want something changed on the hard drive? I would suggest investing in a cheap cd writer and write them on a $0.03 cent disc (using xbmc's file manager to copy over / move) if you are afraid of ftp or making / buying a crossover cable.

BTW: I have 1,000 feet of cat6. I paid $30USD for it, so don't say you don't have the money for a 3 foot cable (unless its belkin, their shit is extremely overpriced).

oh yes, lol, that is what i do, use XBOX media center to transfer files. but i was talking about, the only way that i could think of for transferring MODxboxdash.xbe to my HD was through a hotswap...

I was going to do the Hotswap to get my Xbox working but i just found out the're new fonts. Is it adviced to use these font's since the're so small and the fonts doesn't seems to launch 2 XBE's but only one.

Should i use the 504 bytes fonts or the ''old'' big 1.4 fonts?

I use the dual boot fonts

not sure wether to just use the single font and run my otha stuff by the launch menu n PBL

I think the shell code in fonts should be kept as simple as possible and contain only what's absolutely necessary. Clock check/set code is a safety feature and should be kept there. Dual booting shouldn't.

I put together some XBE header file from xbdev.net and the tray state stuff from BAE 1.4 and got the XBEs below. Take a single boot font and hexedit "default.xbe" to "Dual-Habibi.xbe" (the twelve zeros can be freely replaced) and copy Dual-Habibi.xbe from the tarball to E:\.

This code is largely untested.

EDIT2: Updated the code.

I need to learn to read. I will try this soon rmenhal. Thanks!

rmenhal: Absolutley amazing. i agree with you that the fonts should be kept as clean as possible. Anyhow, when running close-retail, are you able to launch titles from the retail dashboard? Didn't know if you came up with somet type of fix for it wasn't working in my release of the fonts.
