technoob Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 (edited) I have made a digital copy of this game on the HDD and I get a disc error right at the beginning, after Microsoft logo, that tells me to press A then the game shows the message again on and on. I've tried to launch it both from Evox and XBMC (hard disk game launch, not DVD disc launch). Maybe there's some setting to change or some file to patch ( I heard about Amped2 xbe fix, not sure it's the same case here) but I couldn't find anything on google Pls help Edited January 9, 2021 by technoob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDShadow Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 How did you make and transfer the "digital copy" to the HDD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technoob Posted January 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 via FTP, as usual, extracted the iso with DVD Mulletter then copied via FTP (Filezilla). Done this already 4 times at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technoob Posted January 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) sorry for double posting @HDShadow have you experienced the same problem with this game or got any solution ? On another forum, some guy told me that it can be probably a matter of long file names and suggested to virtually mount the disc, but that's only possible on soft-modded xbox ? Isn't there a iso loader or a way to solve long file names problem ? Does a CD/DVD solve the issue ? I mean, what if I burn the xiso onto a CD then rip it ? Will it work ?

SS_Dave Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 Are you sure it's not a Pal/NTSC problem? SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technoob Posted January 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) I don't know, when I check the extracted folder on XDVDMulletter it says Region: every region (anything checked but "Region Free"), Random Padding, XBOX1 Iso type. I've also tried unpatching the XBE in "Misc functions / XBE Details " mode and it says "XBE Could not be fixed : ( " So probably I just need the original xbe of the game? Does anybody have them ?

SS_Dave Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 The 1st file it looks at after the Microsoft banner is the A0.bik in the movie folder maybe check that.

technoob Posted January 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) I don't think so, I looked over and over at that damn intro screen and I think the sequence it blocks is with microsoft_in , microsoft_middle and microsoft_out In fact, the screen of death displays exaclty after microsoft_in. Instead of displaying the microsoft logo with fade in and fade out, it just shows the fade in then all goes black for a moment, screen of death. No big problem anyway, I'll just try Amped 2, hoping I'm not losing anything about the series (probably so, as I've played all Cool Boarders game for PS1 and the last two are probably enough to know all the series... probably just Cool Boarders 4, Cool Boarders 2001 hasn't so much more afterall /offtopic). The only way I can return to this "curse" of a game would be knowing if there's a way to bypass or skip the damn media check.

RetroEmulationNation Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 I am getting a similar problem with this game. But I don't even get the Microsoft logo, it immediately goes to a black screen upon launch. I replaced AmpedFiles.idx and Resource\ProRecs\Gigi Ruf.res using the fix from https://www.epforums.org/showthread.php?114073-FIX-Amped-Freestyle-Snowboarding-NTSC-U-HDD-Fix I am using a 1.1 Xbox, with the XeniumICE modchip, and the XBMC4Gamers dashboard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RetroEmulationNation Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 Have not tried different BIOS files... not sure on how to change it in xeniumOS MS Dash and XBMC4Gamers are both set to the same resolution settings - 480p and 720p enabled, 1080i disabled.

RetroEmulationNation Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 Thanks @SS_Dave Since I have a 1.1 board with 128MB RAM, what is the most recommended BIOS to use? I have no plans to do emulation or run homebrew, my Xbox is only for running Xbox games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 On my 1.0 - 1.1 boards with 128meg ram I use X2-5035.67 , It's a 512kb bios that can be flashed to a TSOP on the 1.1 or fits on the Open Xenium On the 1.2-1.4 boards with 128meg ram I use the Ind5004.67 (it's a 256kb) in a TSOP flash Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

RetroEmulationNation Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 Switching to X2-5035 BIOS worked The game is now able to load... however, my Xbox, which was previously configured for static IP, has now switched to DHCP. And it boots to some Xecutioner menu. How do I configure it to autoboot to XBMC and switch back to static IP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 You need a config file on E drive to tell the Xbox which file to lod 1st. This is the order and you can edit the x2config.ini file to set dash1name as the dash you want (Dash1name = E:/xbmc4gamers/default.xbe) dash1Name = c:avalaunch.xbe dash2Name = C:xbmc.xbe dash3Name = c:unleashx.xbe dash4Name = c:xbmc.xbe dash5Name = c:xboxdash.xbe x2config.ini If you load a installer disk you can FTP this file to your Xbox Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

RetroEmulationNation Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) I never configured the Xenium chip, as it came preinstalled on the motherboard. Just switched it on and started working on XBMC4Gamers without really thinking about it. There were four banks available, each labeled IND-BIOS Red, Purple, Yellow, and Green. I deleted two of the banks to make way for the XS-5035 BIOS, so I assume each bank was 256KB.

The disc error I would get is something about a "dirty disc". Finally found out what the problem was: The language set in the default Xbox BIOS didn't match the language of Amped / Amped 2. My Xbox BIOS (under the X3 BIOS, which was set to English) was set to German rather than English. So even though everything looked like it was English, the mismatched settings caused a "dirty disc" error in Amped 1 and Amped 2. Only game I've seen this happen in and very hard to troubleshoot! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds promising, currently my xbox has : slayer's evox (as default dash), xbmc, avalauncher and another one I don't remember the name. Where should I go to set the language to English ? ::: edit ::: nvm, it worked. I can't believe my eyes, lol I just went to the MS dash (under Evox system settings) and changed it to English. Voilà THANKS. Edited February 6, 2021 by technoob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
