Shmingers Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 Hi all, I have a problem that has me outside my element and completely stymied. Hoping someone has seen this before and could assist. My long-time main Xbox is a 1.2 hardmodded with a clone AladdinXT chip, running EvoX M8+ bios, and a 500 gig hard drive. I recently picked up a 1.4 that was in good shape. I fixed it up and TSOP-modded it, then I got my hands on an OpenXenium chip (it has Xecuter 2, Ind-bios and I added M8+), so I added it to the 1.4. I set X2 as the default launch bios. I wanted to move to the 1.4 as my main box, so I tried to clone my 500 gig hdd to a 1 TB I wanted to put in the 1.4. It appeared to work, but when I tried loading a game, I found that all of my savegames were corrupted. Dead or Alive 2 said the save was corrupted, and Burnout 3 said the save was "unuseable." Everything else except for my savegames, seems to have copied over fine. Did I do something wrong? I'm re-cloning the drive to see if it was just a bad transfer, but I'd definitely appreciate any advice you could offer. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, for clarity, the savegames on the cloned 1 TB drive were corrupted. The contents of the original 500 gig hdd are fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky5 Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 Transfer the hdd hey to the 1.4 & your saves should work again. Those games use the eeprom, hdd key as part of there signature (hashing) of saves. configmagic will let you enter the hdd key from your 1.2.

Shmingers Posted July 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 Thank you so much Rocky5! (For your reply, and all of your amazing work.) I've nulled the key on both, but I'll double-check using configmagic. Thank you again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The key used to sign them has changed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a bit of nerve-wracking work, I was able to use config magic to transfer the EEprom from the old Xbox to the new one, and everything works again. Bonus, I learned something new! Thank you both! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
