If the files are packaged in the linux initrd(which I assume it will be), it is as easy as grab one of those xbe that can launch linux(xromwell, linux.xbe from audio exploit, default.xbe from MechInstaller etc.) and load that from EVOX(though I have some problem loading them from EVOX) which would happily load linux.

I like the mini-linux approach as it is more clean(no scattered files to flow around) and give much more flexibility than hacking up a XBE, just think about the tools that is needed for hex edit etc.

And everyone should have at least one exploitable game which is a sure way to hack Xbox. Especially with UDE/double dash when one doesn't need to worry about clock loop.

Then you could ftp the package in and not use a memcard. But without the game the uninstall function is not usefull. You can uninstall UDE by running the installer from Evox, but you wouldn't be able to install it again using this package with an exploitable game. Once installed you could costimize it yourself to the the EEE or audio hack to re-enable UDE

@ chimpanzee
Not all MA, SC version have the correct update.xbe version. I think I will let people supply their own update.xbe to the package, but do an md5sum check that it's the correct one, before the installer is run.
I dont think I will package Evox,PBL,B&E in the initrd. No point in filling up RAM with those. Also included these files in the game save dir will allow people to costumize it more easily.

But lets all wait till this is done

I dont think we should post more on this package on this thread. It is UDE related but I dont want to be the one to cause a mess of discussions on this thread.

A new thread will be made when this is ready

Nice little feature isn't it! You can boot an original game at startup but a backup boots straight to the dashboard.... This exploit tears the box wide open.

He's banned and you will be too if you keep asking for his package. Check the usual places for a package.

PS you beat me to it krayzie.

Yah, I advise you to take krayzie's advice. This thread was shut down once before because of nonsense such as this, and I trust that the people dedicated to this thread won't take to your request very kindly. In other words, you better started 'editing'.

I've been using digestIT 2004 (i think it's free)
allows you to right click and calc/verify MD5 as well as SHA-1

you can get it here

Open MSxboxdash.xbe
Search for "fonts" (Tick the Unicode option on the 'find' dialog)
Change to "f0nts"
Search for "fonts" a second time
Change to "f0nts"
Save modified XBE.

If you not using PBL, the MS dashboard XBE will need to be re-signed. (It may need re-signing even if you are, so the certificate at least matches the content).

Good Qs. Wrong thread. Check out the Dashboard Exploit Summary

Sounds awesome, YoshiKool! Yeah, I've had two clockloops so far, and I REALLY don't want to have them again...not fun at all. Directbooting is amazing for a software mod... I don't think I've ever seen it before!

So, what would I do? Just delete the bert and ernie fonts from the C folder and then install this one? My xbox is already trashed enough, so I'm not afraid... I've got all the stuff backed up already, and I'm trying to make a new HD, but unsuccessesfully.

I think I'll give this a shot. I only have one question... where do I put my new dash, like Evox?

in c: called evoxdash.xbe

Thanks! Just one final question... if I botch this up at get at the "frozen" screen like the others have, can I still boot 007 to get out of this mess? Thanks again!

I'm booting the PBL in the UDE package, so that doesn't seem to be the problem. I've tried changing the fonts to f0nts and putting the orginal fonts in C:\f0nts and also leaving it as fonts and hexing the extensions in the original xboxdash. Still getting error 21.

This exploit is still amazing . I just don't want to put it on my good HD until everything is working.

Ok, just got it working now...
I just put the original Audio and settings_adoc.xip back on the C drive and I can get to the dash. What is the xip file, do I need it, and are there any other files from the C that I need to put back on there? I had a folder called xboxdashdata.1012a700. Should that be on the C as well? I took everything off of the C when I was first trying to get the exploit to work.

Thanks,

Its' Unicode, so there are '00's between each letter of 'fonts'. Don't have the string here, but you should be able to figure it out, ascii codes for 'fonts' and then '00' between each letter. There are 2 references, edit each and you should be ok !

Have fun,

Allard

Err, The hex values are on the very first post in this thread (and have been since the very first person asked for them, about 20 pages ago ).
