XBMC4GAMERS - DLC Error

[Onaga]

Searched everything, can't find an answer, please help.

Can't download any DLC from XBMC4Gamers... it's starts to download and extract, after that it says "Getting EEPROM HDD Key" and after that I get an Error:

Damn something went wrong, Server or Local network issue.

Or Something else ;/

 

How to fix this?

There is another thread here about the same issue. Rocky5 has released a new version 1.3.001 to possibly fix it 

Maybe have a look through the Rocky5's projects folder.

Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

From URLDownloder version onwards
 

1.0.19

1) Added external hdd-key.txt parsing so folk with corrupt eeproms can sign DLC

( hdd-key.txt goes in Q:\system\ just plain txt key is used. )

 

 

 

 

 

XBMC doesn’t like some eeprom hdd key values and breaks It doesn’t read it properly so I added the above. Just copy your hdd key into that file and it will be used instead.

Okay, just to make sure!

1. I take a backup from my eeprom to get the txt file for example from hexen (backup folder)

2. I create "hdd-key.txt" file and copy just my eeprom digits into this file

3. I copy the " hdd-key.txt" into Q:\system\

4 done!?

Unfortunately, I don't get it to work

This is what I'm doing:

I use Hexen to get a backup , in backup folder there is a file hddinfo.txt, i open this file and it looks like this

what exactly do I need? I tried everything... please show me which part of digits do I need?

afterwards i saved the file, rename it to hdd-key.txt and copy/paste it to Q:\system\

I tried to download a DLC, it showes the hdd key (basically the digits from the hdd-key.txt), but still get an error.

XboxHDKey value but no spaces 

 

can I ask what DLC? So I can make sure it’s not at my end.

Thank's Rocky! You are the man! WORKED!!!

Installed "Splinter Cell Chaos Theory Co-op Mode" successfully! (on a PAL version!)

I'm going to show my german audience this solution! Already made a "XBMC Installation Guide", two versions, one with TruHexen 2020 and one through FTP connection,

they are in german language but they might help other people as well.

I'm going to test other DLC's and if there is another error, I let you know. Keep up the good work!

Hi.

The same thing happened to me. I softmodded my Xbox with Rocky5's Xbox-Softmodding-Tool v. 1.1.8 and then I installed XBMC4Gamers 1.3.000 dashboard along with MS Dash 5960. The HDD Key is nulled with all 1s and I'm not using the original Xbox drive. Doing Rocky5's trick with "hdd-key.txt" file worked and now XBMC4Gamers gives no error any more when I install DLCs. I tried Amped 2 and RalliSport Challenge 2 DLCs and they work fine. But Project Gotham Racing 2 DLC does not show into the game, though I can see the new gamesaves in the MS Dash. For Dead Or Alive 3 DLC, instead, I don't see any gamesave at all.

Am I doing something wrong or are there issues with the all 1s key (which is the default key) or XBMC4Gamers? I tried launching PGR 2 with UnleashX also but nothing changes.

Thanks for any reply!

Hey! Happy new year!

Are there any news with PGR 2 DLC? I tried updating to XBMC4Gamers 1.3.001 but nothing changes. New content is still not visible when launching the game. Any ideas...?

Thanks.

[LorenzoV]

Ok, solved by myself.
