i did use dvd2xbox and it still gave me the same results “script failed start med..” i could confirm if i’m using a soft mod or a hard mod but i’m not sure how, as i said earlier i brought this modded xbox. so i’m not sure how i could possibly tell, 

Change XBMC4Xbox's skin.  From the log files,  I see errors occur when the skin starts up.  It's trying to access an RSS feed that is no longer accessible.

...

And there's a script running medusa that's not working

Hmm, XBMC4Xbox can also run scripts on startup.

See Running Scripts from within XBMC

Make sure there's no autoexec.py file trying to run the medusa script.  FTP to the Xbox and look in Q:\scripts\ for it.

ok i changed the skin. but it still says script failed start_medusa.py thats what its been saying this entire time. and i didnt see any autoexec.py

how do i fix the medusa thats not working?

I really need to see an entire directory listing of your XBMC4Xbox installation folder's content - all files in all subfolders. Edit: Forget that, use Filezilla's file search feature to look for an autoexec.py file on the Xbox hard drive:

  • Server > Search Remote Files 
  • Remote Search radio button, fill in the path to search and the file to look for

Old info from here to the end of this post, forget this for now:

I know long and not so easy to obtain.

However, lets first start with Q:\scripts.

Hmm, I'm not sure what is tryiing to run the medusa script on start up of XBMC4Xbox.

I thought it may be something in the HDeeTV skin; however, now that you've changed the skin and it still does so.  There must be some autoexec.py somewhere in your installation.  The documentation for XBMC4Xbox mentions Q:\scripts\autoexec.py but you don't see such a file.  

Some file somewhere is trying to run it.  More research required...bbl

i removed it from the Q folder. now whenever i try to boot the def jam fight for ny game it says Script failed : RECENTLYADDED.PY And now my console itself is starting to freeze a bit, not that much though

You pick all these old skins to use.  XBMC's Weather plugin no longer works and Alaska tries to run a script, RecentlyAdded.py, on startup that crashes.  XMBC runs out of memory.

Try to use the latest supported ones - Confluence, Confluence Lite, PM3.HD or Project Mayhem III.

There's something weird with the Def Jam FFNY files - as said both the HDD Ready ones work from DVD-RW discs on my primary Xbox (chipped) but DVD2Xbox just won't install them from the same discs. 

FTPing in a HDD Ready version and it works fine.

But I've just been testing DVD-R discs (XISOs created from those same HDD Ready files) with two softmods and the same chipped machine.

None of them worked!

I was suspicious of the DVD-R batch I was using (Maxell); the first disc gave a verification error with ImgBurn. Only time I've had that is with a bad batch.

But I tested two other disc from the batch with a XISO of Xbox game: Black (small size so ideal for a quick burn) and they booted fine on all three Xboxes I'm testing. The bad disc must have been a rogue.

I've also proved to my own satisfaction its not the burners (two different lightly used ones tested) or ImgBurn.  

Wasted five or six discs doing this but all the Def Jam FFNY DVD-Rs using the same XISO that works using DVD-RW on my chipped Xbox's Hitachi disc drive do much the same thing on all three machines (the two softmods use Samsung B and Philips).

They take an unusually long time to be recognised and that sometimes fails. But when they are and can be launched (both XBMC and UX  dashes tested) they immediately stick at the Def Jam FFNY loading screen and eventually give a dirty disc error.

I've never had any DVD-R burn fail to boot except when there was a disc media fault. I just can't explain why DVD-RW burns work from disc on my Hitachi disc drive but you can't install them using DVD2Xbox. It just doesn't make any sense.

With that and the other testing evidence I'd say don't try to install or play this game from burned disc. FTP it in only.

I'd also suggest that if Shxlx006 use DVD2Xbox at any point he uses a file manager and finds the DVD2Xbox UDATA/TDATA save entries there and deletes them. Delete E:\CACHE too and any temporary game content on X, Y and Z. I'd also remove any Def Jam FFNY game install that has been made and start again cleanly by FTPing in a HDD Ready version.

DVD2Xbox UDATA/TDATA ID is 0facfac0 but check that just to be sure they are the correct folders. The TDATA one should  contain metai.d2x and a settings.d2x files. If you're not using the default skin doing this will revert it to default but otherwise there's no problem. Both DVD2Xbox's default UDATA and TDATA folders will regenerate on next boot.

I'm at a loss as to why this game does not work on your console.  I had no problems running it.  

I'll have to sleep on it for a few days. Maybe I'll think of something else to try.

Please do because I'm out of ideas too.

All I can confirm is that the HDD Ready versions (both) that you can find at the same archive work fine if you FTP it to the Xbox rather than use a disc based installation via DVD2Xbox.

There's so much odd behaviour I've had with this game from disc - I've now managed to install the XISO disc created from the Redump files via DVD2Xbox using the same DVD-RW XISO disc that didn't work last Friday.

As said the DVD-R disc I made from the same XISO refused to boot on any of the three Xboxes I tested. Likewise those made from the HDD Ready files. Even the Black test burn I did refuses to boot properly now on any of those three Xboxes.

I'm thinking the confusing results are due to a bad Maxell DVD-R disc batch issue. I was hoping they were different manufacturers but no they're the same as other Maxwell discs I've burned that work without any problems: CMC MAG AM3.

Both burners would have to have been malfunctioning for it to be anything to do with that, highly unlikely as both have only had light use anyway.

In short I have no idea what the problem(s) have been with this game and in such circumstances all you can advise is to use the install method that you know does work: FTP.
