I ripped forza to my harddrive off my original gamedisk using Complex Tools, but when I try to load it from XBMC it seems to load the xbe, but stays at a black screen. I've deleted it and re-ripped it a couple times but it does the same thing. Anybody had a similar problem and fixed it?

How I got my copy to work off HD:


Make sure your time and date are set on the xbox.

rip the game with DVD2XBOX rather than complex tools

or u can rip it manually i don't see y ppl have to use a seperate app jus to rip a game lol

just copy all the files?

so how to you patch the media check flags on the game to run off HD then?

Nearly all hard & softmods disable the media checks - so XBE's don't need patching.

I'm not so sure about that. I copied Leisure Suit Larry to the hard drive, and when I ran it it said "Please run the game from the original media"

IIRC that's an in-game check, and a patch was released to correct it.

I use the X-2 4981.06 Bios in my mod-chip, and NKPatcher in my soft-mods, and I've never patched an XBE soley to fix the media check.

I see, i'll try to find that patcher. I'm just too lazy to get up and put the disk in

PS: tried ripping forza with dvd2xbox and it still doesn't work

All you have to do is delete the update. The update as it seems disables you from loading any games from your HD, or at least it did for me, in evox. So what I did was FTP and delete the folder 4d53006e in TDATA and then delete anything in your cache from Forza. That will fix it so that you can once again play games from your HD in evox.

Ok ok. What update are we talking about? Will deleting it affect me playing on xbox live?

I can load other games from my hard drive btw, just not forza.

I read on this site that if you go into the MS dash and change the language to something else, reboot and put it back to english and reboot again, it takes care of it. It is what I had to do to get it to work.

Good Luck

Wow that is really weird. That appears to have worked. Thanks.

No problem. Glad it worked. No understanding as to why it works, it just does.

Wow that does take care of it. Thanks dude now I can do the engine swap on my stock xbox again.

hey

still trying to get mine to work...

i've tried everything above...no luck

after i try to load it, it freezes on the evox logo....

My game loads, but some tracks don't. It gives a dirty disc error. Nurburgring I think it's called is one of them. Has anyone figured out how to fix this?

Any ideas? I tried the language switch thing and I have reinstalled the game once or twice with same problem...help would be much appreciated...

ok i already backed up splintercell on my xbox now how can i delete just go to ftp and take it out

Why are you posting about splinter cell in the forza hacking forum?

Hi

I'm still having the same problem. I've tried doing what everyone on this thread said to do, but nothing works.

Changing the Language settings: I've tried this from the modded side (Evox), going into MS Dash, changing from English to Spanish, got out of MS Dash, reboot, and back into MS Dash, Change from Spanish back to English, then exit Ms Dash, then reboot, and start game.. still doesn't work. I've even tried all of that without rebooting. I even tried this from the non-modded side (going into MS Dash itself with the mod off).

Can anyone help? I can only get the game to work if I don't go online and let MS patch my game. After the game is patch, I would have to delete my forza directory (with saved games, settings, etc) for the game to load from HD. It seems like it is the online patch that doesn't let you run the game from HD. I saw someone on this thread point out a directory to delete to eliminate the patch.. but how will that solve the problem if I want to play online when i have the mod off? The game will be patched again if i delete the patch itself.

please help... am i doing anything wrong while changing the language settings?

Forza works fine off my HDD.

change english settings / make sure AUTO SIGN INTO XBOX LIVE IS DISABLED and it will work i sware

I tried everything this tutorial says, but no luck. I basically just want to play this game off of my HD and then be able to use that knowledge on future games I may need to patch as well. Is there a straight-forward, simple way to do this b/c I've tried all kinds of sh*# and nothing has worked. So far, I've done everything in this forum and this one:

If someone tells me to use this one, then can you basically spell out exactly what I need to do and where I can find those files, etc:

As you can see, I've requested some help on those as well. I really want to get this game working.
Thanks everyone!

rip it with xfer202 which will automatically patch it to play off the hdd

I've tried all these except the langauge switch thing because I can't get to the MS dashboard. Like normally just hit the power button and it would boot to the MS dash. It won't do that, it gives me an error 05 in the top left corner. and when I'm in my unleashx dash I go to the boot to ms dash option down near the bottom and it gives me a can't find file uix.xbe error. Is there another way to try this fix?? Or if someone can lead me in the right direction to fix the loading of the MS dash problem that would be appectiated.

i once had his problem so i took am moment to think about how to fix it and guess what i figured it out all you have to do is after your game is ripped all you do is go to your M$ dashboard got to your settings and switch your language setting after your languge setting is changed reboot and change it back to normal. load ripped game and booya it work. why it works, you got me
