    G'day John, not sure if this is the right place (most other areas are closed!) but recently discovered your Rocky5 Softmod boot disc so after fixing my old 1.4 PAL Xbox (the usual Caps, and thermal paste :-) ) I decided to try the update softmod option from the disc.  Everything went well until the "two reboots" section.  Removed disc as instructed, the reboot started, got the green animation then fade to black.  Nothing.  Orange LED, no activity, no dashboard, nothing.  This Xbox was originally softmodded by previous owner using Tom Clancy save game and AID 3.0

    I have tried several re-installs, switched to NTSC, tried several different dashboards, installed to C: and to E: etc. and all have same result.  Boots games & the utils disc just fine.  I even tried the pre-build disc on your Google drive in case the version I had was incomplete.

    Only thing that seems to work is to re-install the original MS dashboard.

    The HDD has lots of emulation and games still on it so don't want to wipe anything, and unfortunately, I don't have Tom Clancy game if I need to start fresh.  savegame is still there though.

    Any ideas on how to get the Xbox to boot to any alternative dashboard?

    If you need info, directories etc. happy to oblige, as I can still manually run file manager (and presumably FTP as well)

    If there is a better place to ask this, please let me know.  Sorry if any of this is a Noob FAQ, but my previous experience with Xbox mods was the Xecutor3, which was a little more straightforward to do, from what I recall.

    Best Regards,

    Darren.

     

    Sounds like it’s TSOPPED, if it black screens after the Xlogo screen and never loads stage two then the softmod isn’t loading. It’s crashing. 

    I take it you have enough space on E? (Over 30MB)

    Somebody Know how to do that VGA go without tint green witch Rocky5 1.1.5?

    You can’t there is not native VGA support, so it’s green tint if you don’t have a monitor that supports sync on green. 

     

    This is why I don’t have it in the video menu, as it’s useless to 99% of folk. (It’s there disabled in the config)

    is there any way that I can set the games to a "sub-directory" .... .inside my games folders they are ordered in a alphabetical folder structure e.g. (folder) #AB (folder) CD (folder) EFG (folder) etc.

    so by default the folder names given become the game names and system crashes.   if I can't do this then I'll need to change the "other skin" :'((

     

    edit: never meant to edit the post 🙄

    disable the fast game loading in the skin settings toggles

    I noticed on two of the Xboxes I'm working on, both get an MD5Hash Mismatch when trying to update to the latest stable update, 1.2.001.

    Please see the attached image

    @Rocky5 is it possible trying another exploit would work?  I don't know enough about this... Does your exploit work inherently differently than Krayzies Ndure exploit, or do they call essentially changing the same bit of code and execute the same?  I know your softmod is essentially one-click, so I know the work you've done on top of any exploit is amazing, but wondering if trying another exploit is worth a shot.

    Sorry if the above question is just really stupid.  Trying to brainstorm options before buying new PATA>SATA adapters.

    The initial exploit is NDURE, done by the font exploit. It’s crashing at this stage. ( if it was NKPatcher that the NDURE exploit loads the LED would be orange )

     

    your issue I assume is the system is taking to long to load, like folk have said bad adaptor or dvd drive can causes these problems. ( cable also but you replaced that )

     

    something at a hardware level is your problem, try running Chimp 261812 and using the fix error 16 option in the slave drive options to only reclone a working C partition, if it still does it it’s not software it’s hardware causing your problem. ( softmods support the partition table that’s required for a large HDD )

  6. Try truning on with the eject button and leave the tray open. 

     

    Its crashing at the exploit point and I haven’t a clue why other than the adaptor is slow & it causing issues.  ( I only use sata drives and max is 640 or there about GB work no problem )

     

    what colour is the LED when it hangs?

    Hi @Rocky5,

    I love your work... Amazing stuff.  I'm attempting to add N64 using EarthwormJames rom set.  I have found his most recent set here: http://www.emuxtras.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=86626#p86626

    After I download Surreal64CE B6.0 from your Downloads section, I copy over the Roms from the above link.  I then go to Carousel > Other Settings > Update Selected Systems > N64 and get the error:

    "Surreal.ini is corrupt or not formatted correctly.  Please recopy EarthWomrsJames N64 files over"

    I've tried redownloading the emulator.  I've also tried copying over the emulator from the link above (posted by EarthwormJames) but neither of the surreal.ini files work; I get the same error.

    Please let me know if there is a solution!  Thanks again!

    surreal.ini

    You will need to edit the surreal.ini and add 4 lines ( enter 4 times ) after the first comments= line.

    the next update to emustation will has this fixed, as it was hard coded to look on line 20. The new version just scans the file for what I need.

  8. Put XBP on the root of E ( it’s just an xbe file ) run it via a file manager using one of the discs or if running unleashx launch it via a raw site command. 

     

    Site exec “path the xbe file”

     

    now partition your drive proerply, C and E shouldn’t need touching since it’s onky the extra partitions that every have issues with cluster sizes. 

     

    Also what dashboard is it you’re wanting to install?

    Okay so I've tried basically everything I can to make this drive work again, im not too concerned about the HDD itself but I think ive corrupted my BIOS or something by installing JCrockys softmod again, when I boot from disc sometimes it will not boot and instead the lights flash different colors like JCrockys softmod does when you install that and it wont boot at all when the lights flash, Ive tried to reflash the TSOP but it says it cant find C:\BIOS, ive created the folder but it still wont flash, I tried to rebuild my disc with heXEn but the install failed, at this point I've basically given up. I do still have my original drive from when i softmodded that if that can help me, I also have a 500GB IDE drive coming in the mail too... please if anyone could help me that would be much appreciated

    If using my softmod you will need to disable the shadowc, load the extras disc and do it then copy your bios to C:\bios\ and flash away with gentoox or xblashos

    I posted about an issue I'm having in another topic but since I'm using this resource pack I'll briefly mention it here in case anyone else has the problem.  Most of the movies (preview.xmv) play in slow motion with sometimes stuttering sound if I call up a video in the Synopsis menu in XBmc4gamers.  These same movies play perfectly in VLC so I know it's not the previews themselves.  Anyone else have this problem?

    XBmc4gamers

    This pack is unofficial and xmv is not 100% supported in XBMC so not all videos will play correctly.

     

    Use the official one from the downloader. No videos are included but I plan on hosting all the videos on my server so internet on the Xbox will be required.

    Correct me if i'm wrong:
    The version posted in the start posting is included in the resources pack from PsyKos posted here.
    But the resources posted by heresy are neither included in an updated version nor in the resources pack from PsyKos?

    Could you list the 40 games? as the current Xbox Artwork Installer has 1072 Xbox games all done with synopsis and artwork.

    I never knew about the one from heresy.

     

    Also if they don’t conform to the standards I set for this artwork pack, then they would never be used anyways.

    I have an issue with the new version of Chimp.  After disconnecting my DVD drive and connecting the 1TB drive, when I run Chimp it briefly shows the Chimp splash screen, then reboots my Xbox (I think) and of course I end up getting the "Service Required" error because no DVD drive is connected.  Is there a fix for this?

    Change the drive when Chimp loader has been loaded, it will ask you to change the drive and then press A.

     

    also make sure your sata adaptor has a slave jumper position.

    Hi, Rocky.  I have a OGXbox that's been soft-modded with UnleashX.  It's currently installed on a 100GB Maxtor IDE drive, along with all my Xbox games, UnleashX skins, settings, emulators and ROMS.  I want to transfer/clone everything to a Seagate 1TB using CHIMP and have it exactly like my current setup but with the extra hard drive space fully recognized for future installing of Xbox games and other data.  When I use Chimp, which option for Selective Clone should I use? 

    Selective, clone C, E, F and G takes remaining space. This will put the remaining space of the 1TB drive on G. All your stuff from F will be kept this way but the partition will be the same size as it originally was. ( no way to resize partitions )

     

    also use chimp 261812 or you won’t get the options above. If you get an error about the drive being formatted with unleashx or evolutionx dashboards you will need to run the XBP Tabke Writer app that comes with Chimp 261812, this will let you write a partition table to the master drive allowing Chimp 261812 to clone the drive properly.

  14. Q is always the root folder of the XBMC installation, it’s that was as it’s easier for the end user to install stuff.

    also script can be hard coded to Q and it doesn’t matter where you install XBMC.

     

    X, Y & Z are hidden as the end user never needs to enter these partitions. There is zero need for anyone to have access to these partitions.

    type the partition letter into the remote site bar and you can still access them, they are just hidden from the root tree.
