KingShulgi Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) Hi all got several Sega games that I just can't get to load from my HDD. most notably Jest Set Radio Future, Panzer Dragoon Orta and Gunvalkyrie. I know they all have an issues with the v.1.6 but I`m using a tsop V.1.4 with an up to date UnleashX as main dashboard. for each game I have tried different sources of ISO's and Redumps but all versions act the same way. the game Freezes on Sega logo (Jest Set) or when loading first level (Gunvalkyrie, Panzer) tried to load them trough different dashboards (XBMC4GAMERS, emustation etc) to no avail. been reading all relevant discussions and couldn't find another example of this problem, nor a solution, so it must be something with my console's configuration. any ideas? some pics of my board and settings https://photos.app.goo.gl/iEzaFfu6n2dcFvgp8 any help will be appreciated, been struggling with this for quite some time now. Tnx! Edited September 29, 2020 by KingShulgi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetdarkdestiny Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) Here is a quote from reddit Quote JSRF and Fable work on any 1.6 Xbox, just takes some menu fiddling. I personally tried this to play JSRF and it looks/plays great! Here's a guide from this racketboy thread: Xcalibur Xbox 1.6 Console 480p Solution For Problem Games Power up the Xbox without a disc inserted, wait for the console Dashboard Menu. Pressing both Stick Buttons and both Triggers selects either 480i or 480p; choose 480i. The console Dashboard Menu screen has to be displayed in 480i. Go to the Video Settings section and enable 480p for the game disc. Insert the game disc, it will witch to 480p mode. And here is the main topic, scroll down a bit and you will find it. : http://www.racketboy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=755098.

KingShulgi Posted September 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 Tnx bro. As i noted above, I am aware of this 1.6 issue but i am running a 1.4 machine so loading those games shouldnt be a problem (?). Tried all the 480p 1.6 solutions just for hacks as well but nothing seems to work. Another thing, my games just freeze and won't load while 1.6 users report pixelated and blurry graphics. Tnx so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetdarkdestiny Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) Oh i miss read that. Mea culpa. I don't have them on my hardrive but i have them on my pc so i will copy them quikly over and see if they run on my TSOP'ed 1.4. And I have a patched xbe for Gunvalkyrie and one for Jet Set Radio Future maybe it's a worth a shot? Have you also tried to burn an ISO and rip it your self or at least to run it strait from an burned DVD? EDIT 1: You should disable 1080i and enable 720p. 1080i mostly cause problems. EDIT 2 : Gunvalkyrie works fine on 720p without a patch. Edit 3 : Jet Set Radio Futureworks fine in 720 witout a patch. Edit 4 : And finaly Panzer Dragoon Orta works also fine with 720p. I use unleashed as well with an iND 5004 bios. And i guess the 1080i setting on your xbox cause the problem. So no need for the patches (removed them). SO like i wrote, disable 1080i in Unleashed and the MS Dash and enable 720p instead and see if your able to run the games. I bet they will.

KingShulgi Posted September 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 wow man you are a king! tnx for the links! will test those files asap and uncheck the 1080i. actually the only thing i haven't tried yet is to burn the games and let them run from dvd as you suggested. if the first steps wont work i will check this route also. many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetdarkdestiny Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 You don't need the patches. I'm 100% sure it's the 1080i option. Disable 1080i in UnleashedX and in the MS Dash an enable 720p instead and i'm sure you're able to play the games without a problem. Report back when you problem is solved pls (or also if not so we can try to fix them). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingShulgi Posted September 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 ok. disabling 1080 doesn't change anything. the games keep on freezing as before. will try the dvd option next ( as soon as I will lay my hands on an empty media) but I doubt it will make a difference. btw, all other games works perfectly from HDD. here are some of my setting, maybe the fault is here somewhere? could it be related to my tsop model? I am running out of ideas :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetdarkdestiny Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 Do you have disabled the 1080i in the original MS Dash as well (Not only in Unleashed / XBMC)? What bios do you use? I find that pretty strange. All three games run here without any problem on a TSOP'ed 1.4 NTSC xbox with iND 5004 bios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnx! UnleashX installed is an old version 0.37.1207A. However, the screensaver text states UnleashX 0.39, not that this discrepancy will affect the running of these Sega games. I suggest upgrading UnleashX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingShulgi Posted September 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 thank you gentleman have updated my dashboard (_0_39_0528A) disabled 1080 it is super weird but the games still wont load (i am using verified copies tested on other console) any suggestions? maybe it is bios related?

KingShulgi Posted October 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 SOLVED! Finally success in loading those 3 games. Had to build iso from directories, burn and than use dvd2xbox and everything works great. Every other game ftp's easily as is exept these three, if anybody knows why i would like to know too LoL But for now i am satisfied as i found a working fix )) Appreciate all the help guys it is extraordinary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetdarkdestiny Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 Glad to hear you`re finaly able to play these games. :) Maybe you can make a backup of your games, which you have mad with dvd2xbox, and delete them from you hdd. After that try ftp them again and see what happens. Would be interesting to know if they would work then or if you end up with the same error again. How ever, thanks for reporting back that the "create a DVD option" has worked for you. :) Greets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDShadow Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 The only thing that DVD2Xbox does that simple copying does not is rename any FATX non-compliant file/folder names and ACL (Action Control List) patch at the end. Its odd that the problem occurs with three of the most well known games that have the 480p v1.6 display problem too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingShulgi Posted October 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 Before burning the games used zbxtools to create iso from the redump directories i had. Maybe that did the trick? will try SweetDark suggestion to backward ftp the files and see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetdarkdestiny Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 Little me was little dumb (That happens some times). You don't need to delete the games. Simple rename the folders for the test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Automatic" can lead to quite unexpected results, especially when using a Windows FTP client. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingShulgi Posted October 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 Not using client, I'm transfering files directly from windows explorer, xbox set as a network location. Been doing this since 2004 ,the happy xbmc days, with no probs whatsoever. Not sure if there are settings options for binary ftp but will check ty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
