I'm trying to get ahold of Ldots, to see how he built Ltools, but since I see a little competition brewing I took on making a UXE installer. Hehe, Spaceboy727 here decided to swipe my plans . I'll be interested to see how his works, since MXM doesn't really have any good functions for stuff like backing up the system.

Anyhow, I'm getting to work on this. Ldots used the Xbox Live Linux system to allow Gzipping files and such and unfortunatley this makes it a BITCH to get working right!

RiceTools huh...haha..thats cute, lmao j/k sorry...but uhh....its on now...lol

and you know what there are good functions for backing up the system homeskillet, cuz mxm has winzip and winrar support and can backup the eeprom and whatever else you want it to

SOFTMOD WARS

*hears screwed up star wars theme*

this is gonna be good..............

hahaha....oh my god....what is wrong w/ us

what i dont understand is why you cant use the files from the mechassault 1.8 ltools and make them compatable with 007 and splinter cell
can somebody answer this?

thats no fun...we're nerdy enough to make our own, lol

MXM has RAR support?
Hm, interesting.

If I can't find out how to break into the Linux files Ldots put on here I might just give you a leg up with that MXM stuff. Or just build my own, y'know, whatever, haha!

And awal, that could be possible but I don't wanna just release some half ass edit. I wanna upgrade everything to the newest exploits and such.

i've already updated ltools 1.8RC1
I fixed EEE, updated pblmetoo, M8 and nkpatcher7

I also made a second save for the EEE, like this , when EEE is on, you can still use both EEE and Mechassault from DVD exploit.
I tested it on a few xboxes and it always worked

but a few options are in french... if you are interested I can translate it

I also updated ltools 1.7.5 to install UXE insted of UDE/UDE2, this was before ltools 1.8RC1 came out so they are kind of outdated.

ltools is so good, why remake it from scratch?
-it's the only installer that detect your kernel version and use the good bert.xtf
-make a compressed backup of C-drive
-applies patches to generate the good xbe
-can switch to EEE (1.8RC1 didn't work for me so I made a MXM script to switch between EEE and UXE)
-can chose between 4 dashes

you know what? there should be a tutorial on creating your own install package...

maybe create a package to create packages for the noobs

i'm still trying to get an XDK copy... no one really knows what i could do with that... might even be so that all hell breaks loose ... yiiiihaaaa

*bonanza theme*

that is the second old school theme music posted in this thread....hahaa

yeah... i figured 'what the hell'...

want more?

both are games too you know... don't have them though... but some day i might get the dukes..maybe

UnleashX also has zip/rar support.

ldot's tool can be tweaked to be game save neutral, if the loader is swapped in with mine which will let his linux system knows :

1. the running kernel version
2. the location it is loading from(be it game save or some arbitary directory)

With that changes, one just need to drop the file into different game save directories(or even E:\APPS\) and it would work as all the game save hacks will end up trigger the linux loader(xbe) in the game save directory.

Well, gay...

If Ltools has been built for MA/007/SC and uses the UXE fonts forget it. Looks like thats already been accomplished.

I might make an MXM installer or UnleashX installer from scratch now. I'll have to see, I have some ideas floating around in my head.

Damn why am I always the last guy to learn about this stuff?

Edit: zorxd is this avaliable on the usual places - or I guess a better question would be how did you get into the Linux setup? I couldn't figure out how to open it, tweak it, and close it without totalling it.

pssst rice...maybe we should join forces. haha

I'd be up for a joint venture, as I doubt I'll ever get mine finished.

lol, maybe 2 or 3 of us can equal on ldots

Well Ricecake, daddyJ, if either of you two are interested in maybe working on this project together (since we're all kind of going at it at the same time) pm me ...otherwise, you're not my friends anymore....haha..j/k

I think we should continue to use linux because it's the only way to use patches for now, and using patches is the only legal way to do it.

we can do the ppf, i bet someone can talk them into making a ppf patch for the dash
but yeah linux is still probly the best bet

hey... i wanna help...(or learn rather...lmao).. yeah... if i am ever gonna accomplish anything... i need to know where to start...

Edit: Does anyone here know how to decrypt xbox live packets? ill explain if someone can help me in this "department"... i believe ricecake may know where i am going with this...

MXM has a good thing going. Easy code and rar support. Im working on a 64meg installer for the scene. Maybe by the new year. Not sure! Good luck to all!

You know what will happen right? ldots will have his new installer out in the middle of all this. Not to mention Mordens on the scene. GOOD Stuff.

Jcupp114

Lol, anyhow.

Spaceboy727 I might join into your little project, since you seem to have the same idea as me. We could even include Linux for some of the more complex commands like patching as zorxd said. I thiink me, you, and DaddyJ can definitely come out with something that kicks ass .

zorxd I have Linux but if you could send me the scripts I'd really appreciate it!
RiceMail@Gmail.Com is my e-mail address if you can get around to that.

Definitly

here is the base64 zip file containing all ltools 1.8RC1 scripts

I didn't find how to post a file sorry, and the scripts are way too long to post them on the forum

Ohh ohh, pick me! I don't post as often as some of you guys, but I check the forums every day and tinker with just about everything released. Dashboards, apps, emulators and packages. I reworked mkjones' package a while back (wrote every line of the scripts from scratch, but it was based on his package for the font/audio swaps), then comes along UDE/UXE and ldots to blow my package out of the water

I love putting things together that make my live easier when it comes to modding boxes. I'm experienced with all of the current exploits etc and have a pretty good grasp of all the scripting for each of the dashes, so if you guys want some help/input on a new package (other than "I can test that out for ya", Im game.

PM me with ideas etc if I can help in any way. I'd like to know what you guys have planned and how you want to implement them. I tried dissecting ltools too... didn't work as well as I'd hoped either lol. Good luck guys!

Anyhow, I'm just chillin' back now.

I'll start figuring out this Linux stuff to better suit file patching (Thanks for the tips zorxd).

Spaceboy727 come up with any good names for this package yet? I bet it'll end up one of those on the spur things kinda like how UDE was named. As long as it isnt Xploiter or some retarded X-thing I could giva rats ass .

i was thinking, sexual chocoloate...hahaha

How about we keep it UXE , but lengthen the name to be Ultimate Xbox Exploit.

Hey Rice, Can your school me on a few linux tricks. Any way to bring knoppix into the picture?

Question!
Is there a way to run a linux installer that can support the video of the new xboxes? Can it be worked around? Or can the video be chipped?

Just a question!

Take Care

Jcupp114

I dunno, cloning that SlayerZ "modified" crap doesn't sit well with me :/...

And yeah I got a copy of Knoppix I could use to thrash up that initrd image. Lol, DaddyJ wanna learn Linux tricks? Get a bootable Linux distro and just play around. I don't know alot myself, even ...

Yeah I play around with mandrake, redhat, & knoppix.

I know general commands, trying to re-master my own linux distro for work purposes.

Anyone like Suse. Got the 9.1 pro. Good stuff.

Take care

does anybody know how to get unleashx to run from an exploit (as in 007). I have been attempting this and all i get is XBSOD 21

and yes, I tried sighing it with the habibi key and that comes up with FAIL!!!!!!! FAIL!!!!!!!

and at this point I say F*CK!!!!!!!! F*CK!!!!!!!!!

Fuck, you don't even know that this thread is about, do you?

Watch out for mxm's eeprom backup I found it a little strange before, it reported wrong hd key, but that was back in the days of pbl and morden's

morden was the king, ltools and Rmenhal are the gods of softmods, and the gods will be waiting for their challengers !
