I just spent roughtly two hours cookin' up this batch file to make signing files easier.
To use it put a default.xbe, xbedump.exe, and the signer files below all in the same directory (Eg, the Desktop). Then run the file below.
Anyhow here it is, %100 legal, almost all my own typed code, Morden helped too! By using this however you agree to give me credit and not pass this off as your own.
The 'quick signers' on the bottom of this post are for quicker use. Simply download one for your appropriate hack, stick it in with xbedump.exe and a default.xbe, run it, and it'll just blast through signing.
XBE Signer Full Application:
These compressed files also include 'menu.exe', requred for PC's without the 'choice.exe' command (NT-XP-2003).
They also include xbedump.xbe, just unzip the file, stick your default.xbe in the folder, and sign!

Full Version: An Easier Way To Sign Files
thanks for that , my xbox was giving me error 21 before i tried this batch file to sign the files
All right! Good to see its helping!
Oh and if anyone has Windows XP or 2000 and this works, please tell me, as I'm curious if batch files, well, work under these 'DOS-independant' OS's.

your batch file is way more complicated then mine was, heh
rock on man, good job!

Yeah well, I was familiar with DOS and wrote one for the Font/one for Habibi, but managed to come across a website filled with scripting commands so, lol, this baby was born.
Edit: Thanks!
Edit: Thanks!
Nice one RiceCake! Ill try it on my XP machine once i downgrade my dash so i can boot up the audio hack again. 
Lol, thanks...
RiceCake: Very nice! It signed perfectly on my XP machine. Thanks 
Booyeah!
Heh, I guess I'll start looking for a way to make saves Action Replay compatible using a simple program, except it'll have to look for files.
Guess I'll go learn BASIC now.

All right! Windows XP can run batch files!
So far this has turned out to be the most trouble free thing I've done in a long time!

For some odd reason I find myself laughing at this comment...
I thought signing for Audio and Gamesave were different... in your batch file, you are saying they are the same.

Techinically, they ARE different:
Font Signing = -font
Audio Signing = -audio
Gamesave Signing = -habibi
This bat, from what I can tell, only signs it with the -habibi key.
RiceCake: Any chance you would add in some options to choose what you want to sign it with?
Actually the audio signing works dick-all.
The hacked audio hack, that loads stuff other than Linux, uses the Habibi key.
If anyone can find an audio hack that uses the audio key, feel free to tell me, although I believe the audio key is actually the font key.

...but what about the -font key? There are quite a few people who need to sign files that use the fonts hacks...
Good job!
Actually, the swapless audio exploit that I "released" (if you can call it that), and the new stable audio exploit that catfish and Morden did (see my sig) both use the -audio key. It's not the same as the -font or -habibi keys. Some of the audio exploits do use the -habibi key though, so that's probably what you have.

Yep, the font key's in there.
Currently theres the Habibi and Font section but I'll add the audio section. Hopefully newbs will try both...or know what the hack needs...

Hmmm, I was looking at the code for your bat and SEE the options for both the -habibi key and -font key, but when you hit 1 or 2, it still signs with -habibi.
Also, when you press any key to continue, it automatically starts the signing, regardless of your choice of key. It automatically signs with the -habibi key, or at least it displays it as signing with the -habibi key.
After more carefully viewing, I found that your command "Choice" is not recognized as an internal or external command operable in the batch file. Thus not allowing you to make a choice. Again, this is what happens on an XP machine. I can't say for sure on other O.S. releases.
Hey, you're right. XP doesn't support the "choice" command. Well that's just annoying. Bah, why not just make three separate batch files then:
signfont.bat:
@echo off
xbedump.exe default.xbe -font
if not exist out.xbe goto end
del default.xbe
ren out.xbe default.xbe
:end
signsave.bat:
@echo off
xbedump.exe default.xbe -habibi
if not exist out.xbe goto end
del default.xbe
ren out.xbe default.xbe
:end
signaud.bat:
@echo off
xbedump.exe default.xbe -audio
if not exist out.xbe goto end
del default.xbe
ren out.xbe default.xbe
:end
That oughta work. Oh yeah, you should probably put in that "if not exist out.xbe" to check for output, otherwise you might delete default.xbe and be left with nothing (e.g. if xbedump.exe is missing).
signfont.bat:
@echo off
xbedump.exe default.xbe -font
if not exist out.xbe goto end
del default.xbe
ren out.xbe default.xbe
:end

xbedump.exe default.xbe -habibi

del default.xbe
ren out.xbe default.xbe

I don't even see the need for a batch file
No offence, but I find typing "xbedump default.xbe -habibi", "xbedump default.xbe -font" or "xbedump default.xbe -audio" into command prompt easier than running it through a batch file. Maybe it's just my l33t command prompt skills.

Same here. I don't MIND typing it in the command prompt. However, this would be more "user-friendly" to the n00bs... However, I can just see someone coding a GUI for it...
Win2000/XP Users, all you need is a copy of choice.exe in your path... You can find this file on the net very quickly, it is quite popular in pre-2000 batch programming

Why didn't I think of that before--I remember having to do that for my Yzdock when I was running a bat.
BluhDeBluh, j00r s0 phr34kin 1337 omg plz!!1! 
</sarcasm>
And yes, it's for anyone who finds them convenient (n00bs and veterans alike). "Running it though a batch file" would consist entirely of copying and double-clicking on a file. If it's not your cup of tea, then fine. I don't use them either, but they're there if you want 'em.

Ugh, I could see that happening too. >_<
Damn it always has its downside...
Well I'll probably break-off and learn a better code to code this in. Currently BAT file programming is just getting lucky that your OS has the needed files such as choice, etc...
* Edit I created this because alot of newbs aren't familiar with venturing around DOS. That and I have no idea how to easily tell noobs how to load a command prompt, especially on an XP machine.
Anyone know a noob-friendly code that I could write this in? I haven't written anything bigger than HTML in my life...
Edit2: I upgraded to version two! This one includes the audio signing option, slightly optimized code, and file checking. It also supports commandline (Eg: eazsign.bat audio or eazsign.bat habibi) although typically you can do this on your own if you know whats happening
.
Thanks to Morden for helping! Currently I'm working on my 'Single use' batch for you XP users having trouble with the CHOICE commands, or 98-ME users needing just a slim use one.

You should include the choice.exe in your release and make the thing a zip for all us lazy XP users...
I believe the choice.exe has to be dumped in the C:\Windows\System32 directory.EDIT:
BTW, if someone asks how to get to the command prompt in XP, tell them to goto Start, Run, and type "cmd.exe"
Ah, ok, lol. Never knew if that worked or not, and never had the need to ask about it before!
As for including CHOICE is that legal? If it is I'll stuck up an autoextracter of it or something.

Choice is not legal to distribute, but here is the site for a free replacement that you can do with as you wish. It will require (minor) changes. If you run into any trouble let me know... I have been working with bat files for a LONG time!

Hey fellas, this is a bit off topic but,
How hard would it be to create an xbox app that would sign files on the fly, on the xbox itself.
Kinda like how a few progs, like dvd2xbox, can remove media checks from .xbe's. You run this app, you select your file to patch and you get a little menu comin up with -audio, -font, -habibi options.
This would be very helpful for people who have the 5530 kernel that doesn't work with phoenix and are ripping their games to the hdd. I don't know alot about coding, but does anyone think this would be possible to create?
cheers

Probably wouldn't be too hard, but of course I've never coded anything before.
Lol Morden, too fast for me!

Interesting is the code the guy used to create that 'menu.exe', which sounds easy to learn and might just be what I need to actually well...make this as good as I aim for it to be.
Edit: Err that costs moolah..

ASM is FAR from easy, just an FYI!
I'd recommend C/C++ over ASM. With C/C++, it isn't AS cryptic as ASM and you still have the power to make complex executables. Not to mention you can integrate ASM into C.
Ok, ok I get it...lol...screw it I'll never know shit all about coding!

WHAT! YOU USE MY CODE!? God damnit!
Heh, yeah that's ok, just as long as you don't pass it off as your own idea
