Hi forthex

However, my Kingston data traveler 256 is supposed to be working and actualy don't. Do you think the Action Replay is a more easy solution ?

thanks

NO!! DO NOT BUY THE ACTION REPLAY MEMORY CARD!!!

Woohoo I got it to work by using a real xbox memory card and connecting it to the xbox controller and its way easier

"copy the datelinfo.xbx file into the first file directory in both of the saves."

i was prepping early for the mod and noticed in ltools ma v1.7.5 there weren't two seperate folders with files. but there was a 4d530017 folder which held TitleImage.xbx, SaveImage.xbx, TitleMeta.xbx and a folder within it 4d530017 (which held a few folders and several other files). would i just insert the datalinfo.xbx into the 4d530017 folder?

for the ltools ma you can just drag the zip over to the pc database. You do not need to put the datel info..just drag and drop the zip.

GotKilled. I'm jealous...

forthex,

I am stucked!

When I connect USB reader + my SD to XBOX (step 1.1) and it said

"Memory Unit 1A
The memory you inserted isn't functioning# it maybe damaged"

I then plug this into PC and run to AR as step 2.2. It gave me an error

XBOXPowerSave MFC Application
"XBOXPowerSave MFC Application has encountered a problem and needs to close sorrey for the inconvenience"

I am dead!

I followed this tutorial and it killed my MP3 player.

To solve my problem, I bought an Action Replay and now I can move the Mech savegames to my Xbox. Very easy, work fine. Now I see Linux option in my dashboard menu.

But when I select Linux from the menu, the screen become black and my tray light turn to orange. It's normal or not ?

At this point I'm supposed to be able to do a telnet on the xbox but I got no answer. Wich linux version is the best for XBOX ?

thanks

joseph, follow the "bonus section" at the end of my tut, it will tell you how to get your MP3 player back!

Info, yes you have to telnet into your Xbox, but i would uninstall the this exploit, because this is a font exploit and you can get into a clock-loop. i would recommend getting the ltools UDE installer from xbins.

im still having troubles having AR finding my exploit save.

ive formatted my thumb drive for action replay and mae sure it work by dragging one of the default game saves to my memory card. and that work.

im trying to use the mech ass. game hack.

could you explain how to make my game hack recognised by AR. i have read this whole forum and im still confused on the process. you mentioned itools for this process but i could not find a place to download it.

any help will be much appriciated

you can find ltools on xbins:

http://www.xbox-scene.com/articles/xbins.php

in your FTP client, go to xbox/operating systems/Linux/distributions/ltools



just make sure that the datelinfo.xbx file is in somewhere in every save you try to put on the stick. If you need any more help, just ask.

ok so now i have downlaoded itool unrar it and copied the datalinfo file to both part 1 and two from the unrar file i got.

am i now supossed to put this into one folder in with the rest of the save for AR or what because AR still doesnt see my exploit.

what about the exploit i download for MA. what am i supposed to do with it. im just straight confused as of now

once you copy the datelinfo files, take both of the saves and make them into .zip files, But zip them as two different files, so, there should a part1.zip and a part2.zip, then transfer them to the memory card.

i still cant get them to transfer because AR is not seeing them

i made sure that each folder (part 1 and part 2) looks like the pic on the tut. i put each folder in the AR saves folder along witht the other saves. then i opened up AR and searched for the saves and they arent there.

am i messing something up or what

again i appreciate the help you are giving me

and each folder is zipped

I followed the tutorial, and I cannot put my .zip files into the AR software thing. I double checked and I have the datlinfo.xbx in the zip. Also, I am sure I am running the correct version of the AR software

you have to drag the saves from the directory you zipped them to, to the memory card column in the Action Replay software.

Like this:

I did that, however I get a reply saying that it is not a valid xbox save. Also, I noticed that your two files are larger than mine, I have a 6kb and a 723 kb... is that anything to note?

i did that and now it says linux installer. i wanted to do the Evo X hack. am i still doing the right thing

the Evox hack will only temporarily get you into Evox, once you turn off the Xbox, or eject the DVD tray, your xbox will reset, and you will loose Evox access, unless you load the exploit agian. the UDE installer will install the UDE exploit, the BIOS loader of your choice, BIOS of your choice, and the dashboard of your choice, and it will do it all for you. So, yes, everything is ok so far for you.

ok but not in the AR prog. part 2 says splinter cell and im using the mech Ass. hack

is this still correct

if not how would i go about fixing this

thanks

the datelinfo.xbx you got was from a Splinter Cell Save, correct? the datelinfo file is the way to check that the save is valid. For example you could write a name on a nametag, that was not yours,and wear it. This is the same with the exploits, it is still the exploit, but is under a different name. When you put it on the xbox, however, it will have the correct name and work with the game of your choice.

correct, it is a SC file, however I cannot load it into AR, thus I cannot load it on to my thumb drive...

are you sure that the file is in both of the saves, and that they are zipped, not rarred or put in any other archive format?

no i got my datalinfo from the mech ass. game from AR. so is this messed up or not

also when i tried to put the files on my xbox i cant get the copy function in the memory screen. do you know what this is all about

i got the file onto my computer but when i turn on mech ass. i cant find the file under campaign mode

thanks

mechassult can't load gameaves from memory cards, not anyother game i know of. go into the dash, then "MEMORY", then go into the memory card, highlight the save, press the D-pad or the joystick right and copy over the individual files.

I am using ldots UDE installer (007 Version). I opened the UDATA folder, but there is only one folder with the name 4541000d. In the guide it says there will 2 folders. Even though, I continued and put the DatelInfo in the first folder. Then I zipped the save and transfered it to the AR saves folder. When I opened AR I can't find the ldots folder anywhere in AR.

Thanks in Advance

as soon as you transfer a save to the PC DATABASE column, look for a folder that has been expanded. that should be the installer.

I know alot of people including myself are still having problems with the AR software recognizing our USB stick. The Xbox loves my lexar stxk its just AR not playing nice. Any ideas guys? Im to the point where I just want to trade my unmodded Xbox in for a modded one.

if you want to. I mean, if you have the money to get a chip and have the time and patience to install it, DO IT!! chips are WAY better than UDE or any toher software hack. But, if you can't or don't want to get a chip, the software hack is the way to go.

Hi forthex,

I have "Linux" in my dashboard. Now, I want to run the evox dashboard. Where can I find the build-in savegame ? I don't want a permanent installation of the evox dashboard. Only use it when I need it. What is the best way to do this ?

thanks

I just don't get it. Everything works.... I get to the very end and then it says it is not a game save.... Why??? what am I doing wrong???? Can I fix it. Will it work is it my PNY 64MB USB Thumb Drive?
Help
Thanks

Info, I STRONGLY recomend you remove the Linux fonts from the xbox harddrive, becuase they are crappy font exploits, and you can get into a clock-loop if you aren't careful. Anyway, you just want the gameave exploit, that get's you temporary access to Evox. In xbins, go to "/XBOX/exploits/_Packages/" and choose a the came of your choice, so the save would be (your game)_with_Evox".

stien, make sure the datelinfo.xbx file in BOTH saves: this is the main cause of many failures, and double, no... tripple check the file is ANYWHERE in BOTH of the saves. AND ZIP THEM, NOT RAR THEM!

quick note.. i tried using a diamond usb stick and a 128 mb rca lyra mp3 player. none were detected by the xbox therefore i couldn't format them or do anything. i'll go try other devices and see if i can get my hands on one of the ones listed

@SteinerCS

I had trouble getting my save to load into AR too. I don't know if I just overlooked this detail in the tutorial or what, but if there are 2 folders in your save (as in the splinter cell example) they should be made into 2 SEPERATE (this is what I was doing wrong) zip files. then they can each be loaded into the software and copied to the memcard/usb stick.

btw, each zip must contain UDATA/whatever, so dont just zip the # folders

Anyone else had this problem

Memory card working fine previously nothing changed except XPsp2 and other windows updates

now AR software recognises it but will only transfer AR saves, when formatting the light flashes in AR software then stays off - card hasn't formatted as removing and re-inserting redetects it and it is the same.

new AR software simply crashes when reading card.

tried on a fresh install of win 98 as well same problem.

Hi forthex,

- I remove the Linux option in the MS dashboard and now I have the live option.
- I get the MechassaultwithEvox.rar file from xbins
- I unrar the files into a UDATA folder needed by the Action Replay.
- Now I got a directory structure like this :

yah, im a n00b, but i pretty much figured it out. except... I have a Sandisk Cruzer USB 2.0 128 mb and when i try to basically start by reformatting the drive, instead the screen flashes and blinks. i have gone through the tutorial a million times and cant find an answer, but it might be because im really tired, so i apologize in advance if someone has already given a solution.

*Edit*
Yah, problem solved. I feel kinda stupid saying this, but better everyone know just in case. Make sure you Sandisk is Mini before trying this.
*slaps self across face*

Read all through the fourms. My xbox recognizes my usb device as a memory card. I can even put a game save on it from the xbox. But for some reason Action replay does not see my usb stick as a memory device. It is a compatible lexar jumpdrive. USB view show it as an action replay. But I cannot get Action replay to recognize. Please help.

i got it until i cant see the files anymore when i transfer the memory card to xbox

i have installed tons of times. the older version and the newer version. still ar willl not recognize it. Xbox loves the stick. I might just try and go by a different usb stick

but open for suggestions.

scratch what i said about those models.. i had the usb xbox thing in upside down ><. haven't retried them but just stuck in a dell usb stick which works..at least in the xbox detection phase

edit: it worked but for the itools mechassualt zip i didn't need to add that file to make the transfer work...

Bought the new sandisk and it worked awesome. HOWEVER, i do have a problem. Installed itools mech hack. The xbox hard drive was backed up. But I cannot run MINI-LINUX it says unable to link during initialization. Any idea what I did wrong? And the other tutorials say it will ask you a bunch of questions. Mine never did.

Please help

Or maybe I installed it correctly. What is it suppose to look like. I only got as far as the installer backed up the c drive. then said it was safe to turn off the xbox. So now what.?
it there a tut for playing emulators and how to backup my purchased games and load them to the hard drive?

But I really want to make sure I have installed everything and what it should look like.


Thanks in advance

when you turn on the xbox without a game, you should be at the dashboard of your choice. search the forums on how to install emulators and games. it's really easy, but this would be the wrong forum.

Kinda an add-on to this tutorial but hey. Going the stuff at the Xbox-Linux site it looks like sometimes to get the Xbox to recognise your memory stick you need to perform a raw format on it. This applies if you get the "Memory Card Damaged" message where it doesn't ask you to format it, so try this - it's not guaranteed to work but it does with some drives

1)Back up anything important on your drive! Then stick your usb drive into your Xbox and go into memory on the dashboard, just to check it's giving you the damaged error message.

2)If it is, go to http://support.wdc.com/download/windlg/windlg10.exe Say "yes I would like to download your lovely program" and remember where you put it! (Easy mistake to make, trust me)

3)Put your usb drive into your pc if it isn't already there

4)Open up windlg.exe and install the program. Run it. You should see a screen with your hard-drive(s) and somewhere on there should be your usb drive in the top panel.

5)Double click on the drive and a screen should pop up. Choose write zeros and say yes to anything asking about erasing the drive or erasing multiple partitions. It will the ask you if you want a quick erase or a full erase. Choose full erase and let it do it's stuff.

6)Put the drive back into your Xbox, go to memory and hope that it tells you it is formatting your device. If it does you're in luck and can carry on with the rest of Forthex's tutorial from point 1.2. Otherwise its not going to work, and you can reformat using the programs which came with the drive, or using Forthex's method outlined in the first tut.

Thanx mate. It worked for me.
The SanDisk USB Cruzer™ Mini 256MB (hispeed USB 2.0) did the trick.
