sorry for the mass posting.
But i really would like this to work.
I know i have to manually transfer the Splinter cell files over to my USB stick like the guide says BUT i simlpy do not understand this :
2.2: Use an existing save that came with the AR software and copy the datelinfo.xbx file into the first file directory in both of the saves. If you installed the AR software into it's default directoy, go to "C:\Program Files\Datel\Action Replay XBOX\Saves" (without the quotes).
In my folder of Action replay there is No saved files only this one callede : pcdatabase
PLZZZ help
The save doesn't come with the software if you open AR and look on the left there will be somthing called power saves I think there will be a 007 save and somthing else download one of them.

Hi. A mostly fantastic guide but i'm having trouble with the drivers section. Having found USB medium that the xbox recognizes, I have been unable to make Windows 'update' the drivers so as to make it run as an action replay. On selecting the action 'ActionReplay Xbox' folder and the appropriately edited .ini file, the PC concludes that no software suitable for my device is available. What can I do? Having tried this with two cameras and a memory stick, i doubt it's the usb stuff here, but some more sinister apparatus within windows to be overcome.
You have to take the route threw the control panel and hardware section to the hardware list and from there change the drivers or you didn't chang the ini file with usb view. If you haven't changed the ini file there is info on this site some where.

Hi, I need some help on this guide. I'm sorry if this has already been answered before, but I get stuck on step 1.4 where you have to install an AR driver for the USB drive. I only get MaxDrive XBox as an option, and I have to browse to do so. I'm not sure if that's the same thing or what - I'm new to this. I'm using a SanDisk 1.0GB Crusier Micro and have also tried a 512 MB version of the micro and a 512 SanDisk SD card. Help would be appreciated.

I am going bankrupt buying sd cards and usb sticks that my xboxes wont recognise. I tried a cheap 128mb mp3 player first, tried to format it to fatx using my xbox and usb female to xpad male adapter and that was succesful until i unplaged the player and its fimware reformated the mem. then I used dtek 1 gb sd card but the dashboard started flashing and the xbox didnt recognise it. I bought a 128mb twinmos M1 mobile disk and the xbox gives me the "there is something wrong with your mem card" message but wont format and thus wont recognise the stick. I was wondering if there is any way to format the stick to fatx using a pc.
If anyone has any advice on this their help will be much appreciated plus they will be saving my son's poor father from insanity.

Hey everyone,
I followed the guide also, managed to Xfer everything to the xbox HD using a USB stick and AR, but when loading Splinter Cell and try to load the crafty save game, it goes blank for a few seconds, then I get a white screen for about a second and the xbox reboots back to the game and not the Softmod installation!!
Any ideas?
Do I need to have the 5960 MS Dash for this to work? I have some old version that I can't remember right now. I tried the save games from both Softmod installer Deluxe v3 and v2.
Thanks in advance

Yes you need 5960 dash files, and dont use SID, use a real installer, Krazie's NDURE 1.1

Thanks a lot Joshatdot, I'll give that a go.
After I posted the previous message, I managed to get it to work with ltools installer and for a little while everything worked like a charm! Until I tried to replace the EvoX dashboard with Avalaunch and that worked also, but from that moment on, all multiplayer/XBL enabled games now freeze at the point you press "Start" to play. Same ones were working previously.
That has to do with the MS Dash right? Or the dashupdate.xbe? I mean it can't be a coincidence that only multiplayer games freeze... can it?
I am of course a newbie in the world of xbox and I've been reading material off the net for about 2 weeks now. I might be talking crap above, but any advice would be of course greatly appreciated.
Is there a way to fix this problem, or would I need to put everything back to the original state and try again?
Thanks again

Well, if you look at all the pages in this topic there is a few responses stating that it works for the 1.6. The only question is... Does an 1.6B, 1.6A, and etc. exist? and whether or not they ALL work with the method mentioned previously.
Google is useful but my dialup chokes on everything...

Thanks for the tutorial, it worked great for me (I can now play backed up games)
However I can't get any custom dashboards to work. I've tried installing both the
dashes that come with 'Krayzie's NDure pack' (choosing 'single-boot mode'), both
of which appear to install correctly, but the XBox default dash is what loads up when
I reboot the box.
I've also tried installing XBMC dash, and the entire XBox Board.de ultimate boot CD,
with similarly disappointing results.
The light on the front of the box cycles through red/orange/green, and I am also asked to
set the clock each time the box reboots (though I always was, even before doing the softmod)
I'm guessing either of these symptoms might be indicative of the problem i'm having
I have a v 1.4 XBox and did the softmod using Splinter Cell.
Thanks in advance to the guru who immediately diagnoses my boxes' ailment
edmunds
Dec 4 2006, 07:33 PM
Update on my last post:
Okay, figured out that by just setting the clock I can boot to a non Ms dash. unfortunately
this results in an error:
"Dashboard XBE targets not found in the following directories:
e:\dash\default.xbe; e:\dashboard\default.xbe; e:\evodash.xbe"
Looks like my efforts to 'fix' the dash have f*cked it up.
Anyone know how I can fix it? I tried reinstalling the NDure exploit with
Splinter Cell, but the installer refuses, saying I haven't made the appropriate
backups.. trying to make these backups also fails!

You probably have to look your vendor ID and product ID in USBView then update xbreader.inf accordingly and update driver. It's in the tutorial.

Hi,
Just come across this site and this is the closest i have got to softmodding my xbox.
I am using the game splinter cell and have copied both of the save games from ndure's pack. Added them to the AR software and successfully copied them across to my usb stick. I then transfered both of the saved games to my xbox hard drive. Load up splinter cell and choose to load up the saved game (linux) and it just freezes?
I have tried copying the file datelinfo that is used in the tutorial but stil the same problem.
Also what is the Linux installer used for as it cannot be seen when loading up splinter cell??
Thanks

hey yall, im just letting yall know... that after viewing ALOT of posts and such... i decided to try this.
seeing as how i have a Toshiba 1gb u3 smart usb jump drive, and some of the compatibility lists show this sort of drive as non working or damaged so to speak, well....... (WORKS)
if anyone has one of these, and would like to get theres working
do the steps mentioned in this topic, put this in the first line...
%S_DeviceDesc1%=_Install1, USB\VID_0930&PID_6540
then goto device manager, right click on the device, goto update driver, select "no i will choose my driver", click on "have disk", locate the file, and click next... once that is done, open up the good ol' action replay software, and it should show up. now, before u try to transfer and it gives u some error message like it did to me, right click on your memory card in the pc part of the AR software, and click format. then, u will have a new fresh 1GB memory card for your xbox...
oh, and fyi, when you plug the memory card into your xbox, it will come up saying "device is damaged, blah blah blah", all u have to do is, turn the xbox off, while its still plugged in, then turn it back on, and there u have it

Ok, I've got a USB to Xbox cable, and I'm using a SanDisk Cruzer Micro 4GB, with U3 removed, and got to the step where I formatted the USB drive in the Xbox, and attempted to install the MAXDRIVE drivers for it, and fail miserably. I tried this both in Windows Vista x64, and Windows XP Pro. Vista will NOT even recognize the driver provided by the xbreader.inf. XP does, and will show the USBIO in the device manager, but crashes (and I'm talking total Blue Screen of Death) and reboots when I try to update it. I'm down to my last strand of hair here from pulling it all out. I tried TONS of other USB devices, and all were reported "damaged" by the Xbox, except this one. HELP!

For some reason this forum only shows the first 50 replies, then compacts the rest of them, and it keeps giving me an error when I click on any messages. Anyway, I got 360explorer, but all I get is a "Could not find a FATX drive to open!" error. So does that mean that despite my Xbox reading it (and I erased it to make sure), it's not really FATX?
