The biggest reason i have is that i have found more people i've modded prefer them there, and doing it at the release level saves time. Also, XBMC defaults to that folder, and if i'm not mistaken, UnleashX looks for it automatically as well.

In the end, it would just save me a small bit of cleanup....i still end up having to go back and cap teh first letter in each major directory (Apps instead of apps, Games instead of games, etc).

Okay fair enough. If people like that better and it is more compatible with various dashes then I will set it to emulators.

Kray,

thanks for answering my questions.

i have another one though. you mentioned that I should have the stock dash on my C what is that mean? which file or files are you talking about. because what i did before chip modding my xbox i made a backup of my c & e drive. that would be the orginal. should i just copy it back to my c the c backup i made?

if i do that how am i suppose to access the save files i put in e\udata?

should i remove the wire i solder on power button to access back to original dash, well first i should put back the c backup i made to c. should this work or is there other way of doing it?

thanks again

The C Drive has little to do with those save games.

Take your system back to stock, then FTP into it and put the save games back. You can use Slayer's. FInd it in the usual places. I *HIGHLY* suggest making sure you don't have a shadow C drive running when you do this.

the saves are accessed via the chosen original game. anyone who soft mods their system should own at least 1 or 2 originals of their chosen installer's game. I use Splinter Cell personally.

Krayzie i can beta for you but if you dont need anyone else its cool??

Forgive me if this is answered elsewhere, but the search function is down and it's not always easy to search the forum with the Google search. Anyway..

Is it possible to do in-game reset with this installer / the Ndure exploit? It's the one thing I miss from my UDE setup.

Yes - Triggers Back & Black

Haha. I'm the same way. I use emulators instead of emus. Just a quick fix manually, but I see what you are saying. I'd love to help test it out, but I got SC. Sorry.

paths are now set to Apps, Games and Emulators (caps too )
Just doing some final testing and adjusting atm then it goes out to betatesting.

oooooh caps tooo. you've really done it now krayzie!!! looking forward to seeing it!

*jaw drops* You're TOTALLY speeding up my installs now!

one final question....

there's been some talk in this thread regarding VGA Progressive scan modes. I know that dr oldschool put out something to enable it (talks about it in this thread http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=408396) via nkpatcher.

how difficult would it be to integrate this patch to an NDURE method?

thanx much krayzie, great work. i've got a clean drive ready to go the moment you got an SC installer available to beta.


A Murder of Crows

There will be both RGB SOG and progressive scan option using dr oldschoold newest patches.

You never answered though: Does your softmod block you from signing into Live when you're doing something that would get your eeprom banned or does it just let you get banned? Because I wanted to try a few things and see if I could still get on Live.

It uses a live blocking feature when mod is active. (obviously since the feature is like years old and anyone not using it these days is a fool IMO)

major diferences between v1.1 and v1.0?

nkpatcher upgrade, dualboot upgrade, better security against dashupdates, newest (working) vga and progressive patches, customisable nkpatcher, various install methods and some other minor things

Hey krayzie

Just got home from work and thought a lil bit about it.

Was wondering if it was possible to cap Dashboard, Backups, and AltDash capped.

was also wondering if it was possible to have the dashes set up so that G drive was enabled by default if you chose the 0.67 option (or equivelant), and if it would be possible to add in a Format G drive option in the main mod menu.

thanx much!

what's up with the caps. well ok if it makes you feel better. There will be Format functions for F and G although not in the main menu. G could offcourse also be enabled in the dash but that would just result in a unnecesary 0 MB notification for a lot of users in the dash.

I successfully removed the UXE installer and installed Ndure Installer. Thank you Krayzie for making easy to use, reliable and quick installer like this. I found this much much easier than the modchip solution.

Somehow I have few more question again. Will the PAL SC installer work with any pal games and any PAL Xboxes (UK, AU etc...not sure how many there are).

Will NTSC SC Installer work with any NTSC Games (like Japan NTSC)?

I am not actually sure what Xboxes are available in Thailand (PAL or NTSCJ). If someone can shed light on this that it will be great.

I guess they will work on NTSC-J too. I haven't verified anything of such things myself but I've never heard of gamesave exploits not working due to some strange regions.

I just wondered if there was a way to make copy a different dash setting file based upon what option was taken.

i haven't really kept up with nkpatcher, but i'm subbed to this thread, and have been since you released it. Using 1.0 as the basis, i wondered if it were possible to have 2 seperate ini files, one marked UnleashX06, the other unleashx067. which ever one got copied would be based upon which one got used.


but in hindsight, not everyone who uses 0.67 would have 200+gb hard drives, so yeah, you're right

Hmm. This ndure stuff just gave me a reason to work my way out of the dark ages of UDE1.... we've come a looooooong way from that morden's audio exploit I had working back in the day....

... and of course, now that I read on further, turns out I should be waiting for 1.1. Oh well. Mighty impressed that people are continuing to upgrade this stuff instead of going balls to the wall attacking the 360.

This is a complete noob question but we all gotta start somewhere right?

Im using the original 8mb memory card and the splinet cell PAL installer.

Do i have to just extract the UDATA rar file in SC Save 1 + 2 or do i have to go into the folders and extract everything within them aswell.

Like in SC Save 2 theres SC save2>UDATA>21585554>000000000000>files.rar

do i extract the files.rar aswell?

cheers in advance people.

only the main zip ofcourse

cheer's krayzie. another noob question for you though. does this work on all xbox versions?


ive read up (like i should have in the first place) and ive answered my own question.

yes it does

youve read up how?

just read some other post's in the XBE Exploits > Krayzie Ndure Installer (gamesave Style) forum.

Any idea when 1.1 is gonna get released krayzie?

first beta is out for testing so it shouldn't take long now. If MA turns out stable I'll begin making conversions and do some more testing.

what i would like to see for version 1.1 is:

- option to choose another altdash-folder. the reason?

1. if someone (stupid) deletes the e:\dashboard, the altdash is also deleted, because it`s located in e:\dashboard\altdash. another path whould be more secure!!

2. i would like to start the xbmc with the eject-button using the tri-state boot. but i hate the pack all the media center files to e:\dashboard\altdash\. a nice thing would be to have some more path to choose from, like

e:\Apps\XBMC\default.xbe
e:\Apps\Avalaunch\default.xbe
e:\Apps\dvd2xbox\default.xbe
e:\Apps\Linux\default.xbe

is that possible?

Greetings, moviecut

That's a great idea, however (and i could be wrong here) i think that has more to do with the way NDure itself works, and maybe not how krazyie's installer works....

Of course, it's a LITTLE late to be making any more requests out of Krazyie for this....the beta is out and being tested already.

Mods, if wrong, kill this response...the last thing we need is false info being spread around

Never too late to make requests....beta is still no final.

I think I will set the bootorder for the altdash to:

1: E:\dashboard\altdash\
2: E:\apps\altdash\
3: E:\apps\xbmc\

This could be done very easily and then everybody should be happy as they can put it where they want.


I however skipped the tri-state boots in the 1st beta cuz I never heard anyone about it. If there are people that want them I can still implement them rather easy. (tri-altdash,tri-msdash,tri-livedash)

I guess the only way he got BAN by the new EEPROM not being a virgin like the seller told me. I will ask him to come clean before giving his user ID out.

Can I change the EEPROM with this mod on with config magic? I did it once and when I reboot the xbox just frag. I temp mod chip it and fix it. Thanks

ive got a messed up xbox here..lol

it's been softmodded before but god know's wot with. i wanna return it to its original state.

wot file's do i need to put on the recovery disc to return the xbox to stock. cheer's

Hopefully youve got FTP access to your xbox.

in e: you want TDATA and UDATA - you could copy all your gamesaves into these if you care about them.

and retail c: you can get from slayers i think - or from backups - its all in the readme

f: would obviously be blank

cheer's for the fast feedback

i can't really make sense of the readme.
so i only need the c drive file's really? and i can get them from slayer's?

a noobie step by step guide would be great

oh yeh i got ftp access to it

i like this setup....of course, i'd need the caps for all use OCD ppl....I'd like the tri boots in...i never used it for an install, but if the different options were there, i'd use it in place of dual boot.

nice job krayzie....almost bought a copy of MA to help test, i'm ITCHING for this

Ok, tri boots go in. It shouldn't hurt anyway

Hi, Firstly, I would like to thank you Krayzie for the installer. Secondly, I was wondering exactly how this mod works, I installed it successfully but was wondeirng where the bios and such is, cause I noticed that light goes green from M$ then orange from something, then back to green from unleash. I assume the orange is the bios, was wondering where that is and how to edit it to be green if possible.


Thanks for your time,

Atom

Not possible in that version. will be in the new one.

Hey Krayz...

How hard is it to incorporate a custom UnleashX.ini file into the installer? i organize my emulators according to maker, then by release date, and i have it setup so that UnleashX doesn't make up it's own mind to change my orders around.

thanx again

can anyone help me out with the messed up xbox?

want to know what the stock file's are for the xbox, are they on the usual places, and how do i return it to stock with the recovery disc?

- Question from a happy user of an XBOX softmodded with current NDURE (dual retail) -

just a curiosity: where the shadow C is actually located on xbox drive?
I browsed - as said just for learning - both C and E but I was not able to identify it....

thanks,
blackdir

Smiffy,

Well the first thing is to figure out what softmod you have. Even if you can ftp into it, replacing the files might not do anything if you are working with a shadow c. Figure out which gamesave you are working with (MA, SC, AUF) and load the gamesave. Who knows, the gamesave might have an uninstall feature.

Once you know you are looking at your real xbox files, delete everything on F, delete everything on E except udata and tdata, and delete everything on c and replace the files with the files from slayers disc (extract the iso from the usual places and you will find the stock files under system\all\c). That will return your xbox essentially to stock.

You could also, like said before, just read the readme from slayers. You can burn the disk, load it up by powering off/on, and then go to menu item 4B2-3 to restore retail hd back to factory.

what an idiot i am... sorry for my stupidness here people.

basically wot i have done is...
loaded up the splinter cell gamesave.
gone to restore from rescue disc then kernel 4817.
that did sum stuff and said press a to turn your xbox off then insert the rescue disc...(i had no idea wot the rescue disc was at this point)

now i can boot the xbox on with eject button and it loads to krayzies installer.
if i power it on with the power button it come's up with error 21.

so.. i have slayers auto installer v2.6. the xbox wont load the disc tho.
so now my only option is to ftp these files into the xbox?

i dont know if im working with a shadow c either.

i dont want to do anything in case i ruin it completley.

i apolagise again for my noobness and stupidity.

just wanna get the box bk to normal.

cheer's

You can still use the rescue disc. Just put a retail C in the C folder and make an iso and burn and put it in when the drive opens.
slayers will not load unless you sign it habibi

Edit: or just load up to the save menu and gain ftp acces and replace the C with a retail C (which you can extract from slayers iso)

cheer's krayzie. gonna give it a go now.

worked perfectly. restored to stock. updated the dash. installed the softmod.

installed it on another box aswell that want messed up that just needed dash update.

worked perfect both time's.



cheers for everyones help and your great installer krayzie.

ok cool, was wondering if you got a site that would explain exactly how the mod works. Also was wondering on an eta for that new installer, sounds interesting.

I dunno 1 or two weeks or so. for information on exploits you could look in the tutorials topic or www.xbox-linux.org
