thats no problem at all.

cool thanks, you have no idea how much of a help this is.

Gang

I am going to give this a go. I have

> Download and install USBView
> Install Action Replay XBOX (though I don't know much what this does)

Question:

> Where do I get Splinter_cell exploit zip file ?
> If this will work with PAL Xbox ?

Thanks in advance

to answer your question, (like many times before):


xbins.

and yes their is a PAL version but becasue you sound like a newbie, i would recomend ldots' ltools UDE installer. (/XBOX/Operating Systems/linux/distributions/ltools/ltools_v1.7.5_SC_PAL.rar)
*BIG HINT RIGHT THERE*

Forthex

Thanks for this. You are not wrong, I am a newbie and feel welcomed it here.

I have downloaded splinter_cell_PAL zip file at xbinx (after a long reading about xbins), and also downloaded <B>ltools_v1.7.5_SC_PAL.rar</B>.

All I understand is that after following and completing your tutorial, then I have to do XBE exploits. Though I am not sure what that is yet, but I guess I have to do one at a time first (as there are so much things to know about softmod).

Could you please let me know

> What is <B>ldots' ltools UDE installer</B> ?
> How to use it


Could you be my mentor on this process ? PLEASE !!!

ALL I NEED FRO MY XBOX IS
> Progressive scan
> Playing different media (dvd/vcd/etc)

ok, ldots' ltools UDE intaller is an all-in-one XBE exploit installer package. It's preffered for newbies because it is easy to use and very straight forward.

Anyway follow my tut on how to put saves on the USB stick, then transfer the two gamesaves to the harddrive. Part2 crashes splinter cell and allows any unsinged .xbe files to be used, and part1 is the actual installer (this has to be the only splinter cell save on your harddrive. when you get to the mission select screen, choose the checkpoint Linux". You should now be in the installer. It should be really straight forward and easy. after you have chosen everything, your xbox could be making some funny noises, but that's ok. wait untill a message on your TV that says "it is now safe to turn off your xbox" turn it off, then back on again, and you should be at the dashboard of your choice!

NOTE:
if you have an xbox with a kernal over 5300 (i believe) choose the UDE2.
i assume you live in the US or Canada

Sir

I was able to follow upto the step 2.1.

I unziped splinter_cell exploit into C:\xbox\splinter_cell

However, I stucked at step 2.2.

I use the default directory as you mentioned (C:\Program Files\Datel\Action Replay XBOX\ Save) , but cannot follow instruction (I think it is not for DUMMY).

Would you please be elaborate step 2.2 a little bit in more details, i.e. copy which file/s (from where) to which directory (to where) - STEP BY STEP.

Many thanks for your patient

-milkyway master

don't call me sir.

Wasn't that serious I hope.

Could you help me with step 2.2

Also, if this work with my xbox which is
K: 1.00.4034.01
D: 1.00.4034.01

I read thru the post and it seems there is a problem with splinter_Cell zip file. We need to rezip or something. Can you include the correction of how to create a correct ZIP file in your tutorial as well.

Thanks in advance

-milkywaymaster

if you live in the US, spacemaster, use the UDE 1 exploit.

I just added pics, to help everybody out.

PLEASE ADD MY TUT TO THE LIST!!

forthex

thanks heap! It is much better now. I can see clearly what's going on.

I live in Australia. I have a PAL box.

K: 1.00.4034.01
D: 1.00.4034.01

I have two questions

1) Is this exercise work for my xbox with above kernel and dahsboard

2) I have downloaded "splinter_cell_exploit-pal.zip" file from the "Splintercell_save_With_Evox" directory. Is this UDE/2 exploit ?

Please tell me which version that I should use i.e. which file or files should I downloaded ? I want to download them today.

Many Thanks


-milkywaymaster

1. yes

2. no, that's a gamesave exploit to allow the person to temporarily get into evox and gain FTP access. This is only good if you know how to manually put the hacks in (in your case spacemaster, DON'T!!) or copy DOAXBV to the harddrive and play it with a nude hack (don't ask me how, find out yourself... NOT FOR PEOPLE 10 AND UNDER... or anyone who finds shameless nudity offending).

go into xbins and go to \xbox\operating systems\linux\distrobutions\ltools and choose the Splinter Cell Pal exploit.


and when you get into the installer, choose UDE 1, PBL metoo (BIOS loader), and X2 49xx (i forget the last two numbers: this is the BIOS).


oh and just a heds up, don't sign your posts with "milkywaymaster". I know who you are.

@ fortex,

im wondering if you have tryed this with the newest version of the AR software. as I said earlier I keep getting invalid save, but if you can confirm that it works I'll keep trying.

yes, i have, and it worked fine for me.

IT IS CRUCIAL WHERE THE DATELINFO.XBX FILES ARE!! your probably copying the files in the wrong place.

I downloaded this file "ltools_v1[1].7.5_SC_PAL.rar" from directory \xbox\operating systems\linux\distrobutions\ltools.

Question:

1) Is this the only file that I need to download ? since I cannot find those UDE 1, PBL metoo (BIOS loader), and X2 49xx anywhere in xbins

2) I unrar this file and found part1 and part2 ziped files. Then I unziped these 2 files again, I have folders as you mention in the tut. However, in the directory 5553000c, there are 3 files instead of 2. They are
> SaveImage.xbx (additional)
> TitleImage.xbx
> TitleMeta.xbx
Do I need to remove the additional SaveImage.xbx file ?

3) After step 2.2. What do I have to do ? copy these files into USB stick ? How/steps ?

Thank heaps!

1. Yes, it is a PACKAGED save and includes everything you need.

2. Do not remove the saveimage.xbx file.

3. plug your now moddified USB stick into a USB port on your PC, open the Action replay software, drag the two saves (part1 and part 2, with the datelinfo.xbx files in them) into the Memory card section. The bar behind the "MEMORY CARD" text should fill up, from left to right, orange. When it is done, you should see the two saves in the MEMORY CARD column.

Hmm, with my RCA lyra mp3 player the xbox sees it as a memory card and formated it. But after 10 seconds or so the mp3 player will flash saying file transfer and the xbox exits out of the memory card manager and only shows the hard drive. I followed the tutorial and got my mp3 player to be recognized as a Maxdrive..but I can't drag and drop the game save since the AR doesn't see a memory card.

Could it be a problem with the mp3 player? I'm going to try my digital camera next..but I don't want to mess the digicam or the mp3 player.

EDIT: After plugging in my 256 sd card, the xbox sees the memory card and is stable(it does not exit out of the memory manager and I managed to save a copy of house of the dead 3) It should work...however it doesn't work in Action Replay..perhaps I should downgrade? No memory card shows up under the AR software. I'm gonna restart and see if the maxdrive driver updated perhaps..

Im using a sandisk 256mb that the compability list said should work but it shows up as damaged on the xbox, Does it still mean it was formatted ???/


Anyone help????????

if it says damaged and has been formatted YET IT WORKS!

The problem I'm having now is that I can't copy the ltools MA 1.75 to the Action Replay software(both the old and the new version) No memory card shows up. However I used Ozxmemory USB explorer and wrote the FATX images from www.xbox-linux.org and the xbox sees the game saves(dashboard recovery, run linux, and something else) I succesfully copied the saves onto the xbox hard drive which means that my mp3 does work as a memory card..it's just that action replay doesn't read it. (the device manager sees MaxDrive, and yes I followed the tutorial whichs says to changed the xbreader.ini file and I'm pretty sure I followed it correctly.

Is "maxdrive" the usual name of your USB stick? That sounds like another Codemasters software package. It shouldn't be under the "Universal Serial Bus controllers" tab, it should be under the "USBIO" tab.

It's under the usbio thing and I found out while looking through the xbreader ini file that the device name is indeed maxdrive right when i install the AR software

the reason why the savegames you wrote to the memory card aren't showing up in AR is because they aren't AR compatible saves: ozxmemory writes savegame IMAGE files to an xbox formatted USB stick, and the AR software puts the actual files straight to the card. It's like the difference between an ISO file (writing the saves with ozxmemory), and the contents of the ISO file (using the AR software): the ISO is an image (1 file), and the contents are REAL files (1 folder per save).

and the ozxmemory image files don't have the datelinfo.xbx files needed for the AR software to see that these are real AR saves.

It just says it cant recognize it and it may be damaged, it never says formatted.

What am I missing here.

After the step 2.2 which I copied Datelinfo.xbx into "5553000c" and "21585554". I then open AR replay software, however I could not see neither "part1" or "part2" anywhere ? I can see "All Level Unlock" under Splinter Cell...

Please help as my bro wants the memory back.

many thanks

I cant drag the files to the memory card in the AR software.

Edit: AR says the usb drive failed to enumerate

spacemaster, you cannot see the two saves because they aren't in the folder where the AR looks for it's saves.
You can either drag the files from the directory they are in into the "PC DATABASE" column in the AR software:



or copy the saves directly into the save:

do i need to re-zip back to part1 and 2 after copy datelinfo.xbx ?

yes. the AR saves are zipped, not rarred, .zip!

can you post the links to download the older versions of AR? TIA

I am having a problem getting my XBOX to format my USB stick. I am using the Lexar JumpDrive (Travel?) 256MB with the PSO keyboard adapter but when I open up MEMORY in my XBOX the screen just keeps flashing over and over and does nothing. I tried to skip that step and go straight into the AR modifying, which I got to work.. somewhat. I updated the drivers for the USB stick to the Action Replay drivers but when I open AR and try to copy a file to the USB stick it just gives me a runtime error and closes. Any ideas?

One more thing...just to let other know..here is the link for the old version of Action Replay both 1.20 and 1.05

Scroll down and you will see it

On 1.05 my Mp3 player shows up as Action Replay XBOX instead of MaxDrive...how very weird...

forthex,

I have reziped folder UDATA\21585554\* to part1 and UDATA\5553000c\* to part2.
I then copied these files into AR saves folder. Start AR Software, I can see " Linux Installer" and under it has "All levels Unlock".

Question:

1) Am I doing OK so far, because I still cannot see "part1" and "part2".
2) Which items I need to drag over to the memory

Please help.

Wait..I'm using ltools for MA 1.75 and according to the site I don't need to make the saves compatible right. I've tried dragging it over and it works perfectly with just the zip file that I downloaded from xbins

The run linux game save is on my middle column (pc database) So it should work..it's just that I can't move saves ontot he left side(memory card) because Action Replay doesn't read it or something...

My drivers are configured properly i believe since Action replay XBOX shows up uner usbio devices..

forthex

Oh and I forgot to mention under Splinter Cell now appears 2 "All Level Unlock" items, yes exactly same name. I guess one of these are saved game that crash XBOX (part2) or something.

Question

1. Do I need to copy this to memory along with Linux Installer ? How do I know which one of the 2 under Splinter Cell.

2. Similar to other people. I cannot see "Action Replay XBOX" in the step 2.2. Instead I have to browse to AR XBOX driver drirectory and it show XBOX MaxDrive. I guess it different version than yours. I download it from codejunkies.com. I think it is the latest. But I rather get the one you have so I can follow the tut.

Where can I get PAL version of yours ?

thank heaps!

there is a PAL version of AR. That's probably it! You guys who are having transfer problems, you might have the wrong version of the software. I mean, you might have the NTSC version, when you need the PAL version (i assume you guys live in Europe, Australia, etc.).

if you need the PAL version, go here:
http://uk.codejunkies.com/support.asp?c=GB...&cs=%A3&r=1&l=1

if you need the NTSC version go here:
http://us.codejunkies.com/support.asp?c=US...=$&r=0&l=1

yes, spacemaster, you must copy over both saves for the exploit to work.

I live in the NTSC area, yet it still doesn't work. I'm using the NTSC version of MA and the game save and AR.

Hi everyone, I need your help.

I use the USB Keyboard Adapter of Phantasy Star Online and a USB memory stick. I try two kind of memory stick. I try the Kingston DataTraveler 256 and the Lexar JumpDrive Elite 256. Those are supposed to be working according the compatibility list : Compatibility List

According on what I read, the xbox his supposed to recognize and format the USB stick with FATX.

My problem is when I go to the memory screen in the MS Dashboard, the entire screen start to blink with any error or format message.

What's going wrong ? It's my USB memory stick who are in problem ?

Thank you very much in advance.

You can also reply here : infounknow@videotron.ca

the reason why the memory screen blinks is because the xbox has a problem refresshing the memory screen when you add a memory card. Pug in the card before you turn your xbox on, or when you are at the main menu.

and the error message is normal. your USB stick is PC formatted when you first get it, or if you use it on your cmputer. the error message means that the stick has been formatted by the xbox and can now be used as an xbox memory card.

Hi, forthex

Thank to answer so quickly.

Like you tell me, I tried to plug the card before turning on the xbox and also in the main menu but same thing. The screen is always blinking. When the screen is blinking, I receive no message from the Xbox. Just blinking.

Is there a tool to format my USB Stick into FatX from Windows ? Maybe it could help.

Thanks

your stick probably doesn't work with the xbox. The xbox is probably trying to format the stick, but can't and tries, over and over again. Try using another stick, or if you can't, use a Compact flash card: I use one, and they work without a sitch.

forthex

That's the APL AR software I download from. And it does not show exactly that you got. Anyway, now after I change the YYYY and ZZZZ number in "xbreader.inf" and start AR. I've got message

XBOXPowerSave MFC Application

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


1> Any ideas!
2> Do you know a link to older PAL version of AR

I have a Lexar....I know it doesn't work well but is it at all possible to make it compatible with AR?

spacemaster, the website won't give you the old version because they want to patch any exploits, or flaws in the software, so i would try a P2P client.

infounknow, i'm not sure. If you could do this, it might not work, becuase even though the stick would work on an FATX system, it would not have the information the xbox put on it to make it a working memory card. it like with my 128MB CF card, it can only use 122MB, because it is PC formatted, and contains the windows XP drivers. and when i use it on the xbox, it has a storage capacity of about 7732 blocks (1000 blocks repressent about 16 MB). so, my card is always loosing 6 MB of storage room due to formatting.
