Greg2600 Posted May 29, 2020 Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 Hello, long-time Xbox user here, and you may recognize my username from many other forums. I softmodded my console ages ago using SID 5.1.2. Recently I wanted to try it out on Xlink Kai, but I couldn't join any games in Halo or Halo 2. When I launch Halo, I get an orange ring for 15 seconds before the menu arrives. My profile is no longer there. Halo 2 tells me the DLC is damaged. Strange. So based on a few guys in the Xlink lobby suggestion, I went and used Rocky5's soft mod Quick Upgrade, which seemed to work. I had to fix a few things to restore the UnleashX dashboard skin I was using before. Anyway, I'm still having the same issues with the Halo games. 1. First question, why would I be unable to join System Link rooms? I verified Xlink can see my console fine. I even tried to create a game but was told I appear to be "offline." 2. I'm wondering if the Game Saves are screwed up and causing the issues, but I don't know of any good Save Managers to try. I attempted to open the MS Dashboard, but I get a Service Error page. 3. The system is hooked up to a CRT in 480i, so I cannot load XBMC or XBMC4Gamers because they seem to be defaulting to 720p, and the picture is a scrambled mess. How can I change that? Thanks!

Greg2600 Posted May 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 (edited) Update: I got the original MS Dash to work, but still would like to know if there's a Save Manager that is reliable I can use. I deleted what I had on Halo, and the corrupted Halo 2 file. However, Halo still loads screwed up. I run the game disc, it says Loading... and then goes blank for like 20 seconds before I get the menu. This IS a v1.6 console, not sure if there's some problem with Halo cutscenes though I've got it in 480i Edited May 29, 2020 by Greg2600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
