Okay I've been peeking around this topic for the last week or so, and there's alot of different fonts laying around...

What's the best one?

Edit; I'm an idiot, nevermind, lol...but concerning this patching support for old kernels would be nice...I wish I could boot my dash off F:\ really.

I cant run race driver 2 from the hd on my xbox

i wondering

could u make nkpatcher work on older xbox's
that way I could try running it using that instead of pbl...

how does this thing work where do i get the file i need a noob guild 2 this thing PLZ

Has anyone made a really good UDE installer package yet?

I need a project, lol...

No there isn't an uptodate and complete package yet as far as i know. Would be nice though to find the ude along with the other options like tray selection and the nkpatcher for 5530 kernel and offcourse the updated font including the autoclockset code.

hi...How possible or easy would it be to add code to check the dvd and decide to run a file on it (habibi signed habrun.xbe or somethin) within the fonts just incase i mess up like i always do lol

be nice to have a backup dash or pbl+dash on a cd

That could work.

UDE now officially kicks ass =P

anyways, the only problem ive had so far is running dvd movies. im using one of the traystate fonts with hexed m$ dash for eject button and mxm for normal power on. but whenever i try to play a dvd i get error 21. XBMC won't play dvds for me when im using ude either, all i get is a black screen. right now ive temporarily replaced the hexed ms dash with dvd2x (sorry if thats not the correct name), but it doesn't seem to play them at as high a quality and i like using the dongle and remote. anyways is there anyway to fix this?

[EDIT: i think it would be very useful for there to be another locked + pinned thread with all the newest fonts + explanations for each. Its becoming ver difficult to find anything in this thread. =P anywasy just a suggestion]

Ahh man so there is no HD support in the Dash with this exploit? Bummer. When Live! 2 finally supported a 480p dash I was able to use it with my set's HD inputs without having to switch it over to the non-HD ones all the time. I hate to have to go back to that.

why would anyone other than 5530+ users want to use the nkpatcher??

And just to clarify, which is the outright best font to use for 5101 and lower using PBL n such. I'm currently using Angerwound's clock setting 1.4 w/ the tray out loading the hexed dash. Can't tell exactly if rmenthal improved that or is just working on 5530+ kernals currently.

Also i understand the advantage to specific kernal fonts....but if your local xbox community all have 5101 and lower kernals and know one seems to have problems with cross-kernal fonts....no need to change/upgrade right????

rmenhal, should the games that previously load OK from HD with PBL, load with nkpatcher?

I tried the V.3 of nkpatcher and I can't get some games to load.

GJCD, I don't think you need nkpatcher at all if you can use PBL. Why would you run both since PBL will replace the kernel with its BFM bios.

Rather nkpatcher is godsend to owners of 5530 and higher xbox because PBL don't work for us.

Another reason one might *replace* PBL with nkpatcher is PBL problems with a few games.

OK, I give up of nkpatcher, I will use PBL.

Is it possible to change the color of the LED? I'd like it green, and it is orange.

PBL loads XBMC (orange led), but if I load Avalaunch the color changes to green and I can go to XBMC again that the color remains green.

And why I can't hex-edit the Dual-Habibi.xbe? I'd like to load with the tray open c:evoxdash.xbe instead of MSDash (more useful to me).

I put the same number of letters (replacing msxboxdash.xbe with evosdashdb.xbe) and when I boot my XBOX the error 21 appears.


I found it, forgot to sign it.

Well I almost got everything running perfectly. I've been able to install EvoX with this method but the problem I seem to be running into now is when I want to backup a game, my D: Drive is mirroring my E: drive. Now I went around the board to try and find a solution but was not able to with this exact setup. I made an attempt to burn Slayers ISO and boot, but was not able to get it to boot at all off the cd. Used a CD-RW and a DVD+R, neither worked properly. Anyone have any idea how I can get my FTP client to read the D drive properly??

Well I bought my advanced scart cable in some store. It has a nice optical out and my dts/digital 5.1 works fine with all kinds op pbl's. And yes 1.3.5 supports all new biosses only it doesn't have focus suport so you will have a scrambled image a few seconds when pbl is loading.

Sorry Ldots. Ofcourse I am aware of your work. I even linked some guys to your installer. I was just talkin about packages as in to manually install them and not your auto installer which is great according to lots of people. You get my full respect.

No problem m8 - I was just teasing.
But I thought RiceCake asked for an installer, not a ftp package

Ah well maybe I just misread then. Again my apologies. It's just that I was walkin with that idea allready in my head to make a full package since the initial UDE package is kinda outdated and altered somehow... Ah well yours will ofcourse work just as well.

Krayzie, Ricecake: if you want a project, an ftp package with excellant install instructions that could be thrown on the first page to help the n00bs trying this out would be an awesome idea. The memcard package is awesome as well as xboxhdm, however some prefer to just ftp the necessary files over...

After UDE hack, it seemed the font bert-ate-ernie.xtf did not work on my xbox.
My Xbox stopped booting at MS logo and could not go further.
Kernel: 5101
Dash: 5659 downgraded to 4920 using Slayer's CD
Version: 1.4 with Focus videochip
Mfg Date: 11/26/2003
How can I fix the problem?
BTW: with previous font hack bert.xtf and erbie.xtf, I can boot to Evox.

Make sure you use the correct update.xbe and try to get the right bert_ate_ernie as there are various versions.

okay, my Xbox just failed on me BIG TIME - is this what we call a Fragged?

What I did : I put the main dashboard language to Japanese (I use tHc). And now voilà, my box won't go further than the Logo. Oh I so hate this.

Is there a version of the font that won't fail with other languages than english?

Here are the latest and greatest fonts. Includes fonts for both the 1914880-byte and 1974272-byte update.xbe. The set of kernel-specific (and generic) fonts for 1914880-byte version are in the fonts/s1914880 directory. Similarly for the other version.

I had to make some non-trivial modifications to the font header to make that other update.xbe to work.

Unless there's a third update.xbe around, this is probably the last set of fonts I release.

EDIT2: updated to fonts6. See fonts/readme.txt.

Seriously Kick Ass, rmenhal! Great job! I think I'll finally install this thing now...

Once Again...... Exellant job!

i downloaded the UDE from xbins, and in the readme at the end it says:

Now you will need to place any xbe you would like to be loaded (renamed to "default.xbe") in the root of your C drive *note: the xbe you rename to default.xbe and place in the C drive does not need to be signed*


ANY xbe? so..anything? i can put in a xbmc default xbe in to the root of my c drive or a halo default xbe in the root of my c drive?

how do i mod the new fonts to point to a different xbe??

there are more than one asm files (shellcode+generic/specific) how do i put them together to compile a new custom font???


thx great work!!!

i have been following this scene for a while now
and i must say i think this is the fasted i have ever seen something developed
good job people
we just reached 900 posts lol
this truly is the ultimate exploit
long live UDE
