Yeah, I can give that a try. I put it on C as the per the instructions on the project's GitHub page. Thanks for the recommendation.

Hey everyone, I experienced some issues last night attempting to download content through XBMC4Gamers v1.3.001. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar. I have a 1.4 system that was originally softmodded with Rocky5's tool and XBMC4Gamers. I used the stock HDD. Under this configuration, I never experienced any downloading or functionality issues. Last night, I hardmodded the system and that's when the issues began. My downloads would randomly freeze. Sometimes at 2% complete, sometimes at 34%, sometimes at 96%. I'm able to select the Cancel option, but it doesn't seem to work (the words "Canceling" appear, but nothing happens after). I'm able to get out of this by clicking L-Stick to reload the skin, using IGR or simply rebooting the system manually. It only occurred once when trying to update the URLDownloader (every other attempt was successful), but it kept happening every time I tried to download the Artwork Installer. I thought since that is a rather large download and would take some time, I would try something else. So I tried downloading the latest stable build (~40 MB) and even that froze on one or two attempts, though, it did eventually complete. I attempted to resolve this issue by clearing/formatting the cache (ironically, using the downloadable tool), deleting and recreating my user profile, and even FTPing over a fresh copy of XBMC4Gamers. None of these seemed to have any effect. I believe I followed all of the proper steps (but please let me know if I didn't). Backup softmodded stock HDD data to PC Install Aladdin XT-4032 modchip Use HeXEn 2020 disc to flash a new BIOS: EvoX M8+ (F and G) 256K Replace stock HDD with 2TB SATA HDD Use HeXEn 2020 disc to setup new NTSC Xbox Use Xbpartitioner 1.3 to partition the F and G drives to 927GB (or whatever the number was) each with 64K cluster Verify everything works so bar by booting into Evo dashboard FTP the latest XBMC4Gamers stable build to C:\XBMC4Gamers Use XBE shortcut trick to make XBMC4Gamers my default dashboard Boot into XBMC4Gamers and create my user profile Verify everything works by FTPing a game to F:\Games and starting it None of my other devices are experiencing network issues so I don't think it's related to my network or Internet connection. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there any more information I can provide that might be useful (logs)? Thanks, Patrick

Where do you have DVD2Xbox located? I have mine installed in E:\Applications\DVD2Xbox. I've ripped a few games and haven't seen this happen. However, I did see XBMC4Gamers create a separate user profile for DVD2Xbox which was a little strange. Was able to delete it without issue.

Does having 128MB of RAM provide any benefit for playing retail games? Or can they not really take advantage of it? I was trying to play Advent Rising, but the framerate was so inconsistent, and usually low. I caved and paid $6 for it on GOG so I could play it on PC (there's also a sick fan patch for it which helps even more).

Hm, I'd definitely like to hear how it worked out for you. This review suggests there was some modification required: https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R3AHBCWLY48BEE/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B003PNLRLU

I'd like to to know, too. I heard about XOSVP a while ago and thought it sounded great. I emailed the creator, but never received a response. Seems he's gone quiet on it.

Thanks, Dave! Appreciate the reply and glad to know that it can still be salvaged. I'll have to think about it. I just have a cheap iron right now, $30 from Micro Center, no temperature control or anything. Not sure if I want to invest a bit of money into better quality equipment if I only rarely use it.

R7D10 is dirty for some reason. I didn't really mess around over there so I guess it was already like that. I did buy this system used many years ago, and the board is kinda dirty in general. R7D1 is what I messed up.

Oh, the pen is interesting. I completely forgot that was an option. $25 seems steep, but maybe. I did look through the post and it seems to cover repairing a trace, which makes sense given the OP. On my board, I removed one of the two pads you have to join together (R7D1, I think?). Traces seems fine, still. Would that guide still apply, or is there a different repair method?

I did something similar yesterday when attempting the TSOP mod on my 1.4 board. I have a cheap soldering iron, no magnifying glass (those pads are real tiny), and little experience. I pulled one of the pads off the board. Decided to stop there and put everything back together to make sure everything still worked (it does). I would like to attempt it again, but I also don't want to spend too much money on decent equipment if I don't plan on using it very often. How would you fix something like this, though?

Haha, I had a feeling you were going to say that. Oh well, guess I'll just have to wait until I put in a new HDD, then. Thanks anyway.

Since you haven't used DVD2Xbox in some time, is there another tool you use or recommend to rip games?

It's version 0.7.8. Came bundled with the Rocky5 tool.

Hey everyone, I started ripping my games to my HDD (stock) using DVD2Xbox and then FTPing them over to my PC. I ran into the first game in my library, though, that is too large to fit on the stock HDD (Jade Empire). I'm planning on upgrading the HDD at some point anyway, but for now I figured I would use the "Copy DVD/CD to Samba share" feature of DVD2Xbox so that I can just rip it over the network to my PC. I have created a shared folder on my Windows 10 PC and made sure all of the appropriate network sharing/permissions options are set. I updated the DVD2Xbox config XML with the shared folder information. When I try to begin ripping the disc, though, I receive an error: "ACL processing is not supported over SMB." I tried going to the DVD2Xbox settings and setting General/Enable ACL Processing to "No", but no luck. I have tried searching online for a solution to this for some time, but have only found a few relevant threads. Of course they all end with someone saying "I fixed it," but nothing else. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Is there a setting on my Xbox or PC that I need to change? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Patrick

No worries, that's fair. I didn't see any requirements noted anywhere so I just wasnt't sure if I was missing something.
