hey did the whole "elite cracker" deal and got halo 2, heres the problem.... i transfered to my box via ftp. it shows up under games in avalaunch - ALL is Well right?? well not really, when i go to launch the game, it just hangs there then after 10 seconds it restarts the dash...
I've searched everywhere for a solution, feels like very forum that has "halo 2" in the title.. and nothing,, just wondering if anyone is willing to step up to the plate and give this one a shot.
Also if anyone else is having this problem itd be a good thing to know that you are.. thatd give me some closure
and hey if i dont get it working.. its coming out soon so no big deal but it'd be nice to play before hand.. thanks fellas
system specs:
Xbox version 1.4
Xecuter 3 bios 1943
avalaunch
im about to give up on this halo 2 leek...

I use UnleashX and every now and then Halo 2 will freeze up at the load screen and I have to manually restart. Try using a different dashboard like Unleash or Evox, or just keep trying because it might just be missin here and there. Also, lauch Halo 2 from the default.xbe in your file explorer, not under Games or whatever. Just go into your File Explorer and do to the folder where the default.xbe for Halo 2 is (it'll be in the folder you ftp'd over) and launch it. I've found that often works better. Hope it works out for you.

I'm having the exact same problem and I've even formatted my hard drive loading fresh every dashboard available and manually loading the xbe using the different dashboards with the exact same results

it could also be the modchip, im using a Chameleon. that was the problem with a version of xbox media center on my xbox. but this could be a different problem to everybody elses because my screen stays black where as other peoples xbox's crash and restart.
this is from the xmc website

Q: I try to launch XBMC from a dashboard and it does not start (freeze or black screen), why?
A: Make sure that XBMC's .XBE (executable) is patched from DEBUG to RETAIL, if it's set to DEBUG older Xbox modchips/BIOS can't use it. (You can patch it with xbepatch or deXBE). You also need to make sure date/time on Xbox is correct (set in Microsoft-Xbox-Dashboard). In addition make sure that the video mode option for XBMC is set to "Auto" in bootup dashboard.
If you get same problem again try a other build of XBMC, if still same issue follow EvoX FAQ.

My screen would freeze up too. I use the latest version of UnleashX, and switched to the default skin. Now its fine. Try that.

I'm not using a mod chip, I have TSOP flashed my xbox. However, I had been using a mod chip in this very xbox recently with very similiar results with some games. I have tried using all the default skins and dashboards with all the same results. So I'm still at a loss

hmmm, I'm using a UDE gamesave hack softmod. It's working fine for me, so maybe it's a modchip problem.

Its kind of a long process. The forums and tutorials on xbox-scene can help you better, but I'll just skim it. You need to get the gamesave from xbins (look for instructions for xbins on xbox-scene). Depending on which game you have (you need the original game, not platinum edition) Splinter Cell, Mech Assault, or 007:AUF. On xbins, the gamesaves are under xbox/distributions and under itools. It'll read something like itool_1.75_SC, depending on the game. Now you need to download that gamesave and get it on a memory card. Easiest way is to ftp to an already modded box and put it on your memory card under MS gamesave manager. Or you can use Action Replay ($30) which hooks a memory card into USB on your computer. In the gamesaves, it'll be "Itools Installer" and a weird looking gamesave under whatever game you'
re using. The UDE tutorial gives you instructions on how to install it from there. You can read it here: http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=227528&hl=ude+installer. If you can't figure it out, all the information is all over xbox-scene so just read a lot. Tutorials and forums are helpful. Keep in mind you need to undo your old hack before you do this. Hope it works.

I think there is some confusion so let me help. Softmod and TSOP flash (what uses the gamesave hack) are completely different. There are basically 3 types of mods:
1)Modchip (an internal component that bypasses the onboard bios allowing you to alter your dashboard to a different one and allowing you to read burned discs too. Most common dashboards are Evox, Avalaunch, UnleashX, etc.)
2)TSOP flash (soldering the write points on your motherboard and using an exploit, usually savegame exploit, to flash your onboard bios with a hacked one. This too will alow you to replace the hard drive with bigger one and load your favorite dashboard or read burned discs.)
3)Softmod (installing an exploit, usually FONT exploit on the hard drive that loads when the system boots allowing unsigned code to be present, thereby also allowing your own dashboard loaded and/or burned discs)

Ok to start i use mod 1
1)Modchip (an internal component that bypasses the onboard bios allowing you to alter your dashboard to a different one and allowing you to read burned discs too. Most common dashboards are Evox, Avalaunch, UnleashX, etc.)
I use multiple dashes and have gotten the game to work from HD and Disc with Thc lite,Avalaunch,and Xbmc. But no matter what i do Evox will freeze up every time no matter if its on the HD or a Disc it can't play it.
My guess is that microsoft just picked the most used dash and blocked it some how.

Ok well i just figured out how to get Halo 2 to work with evox atleast on my xbox if you go into your system settings and go all the way down to TSR, Set

Well the TSR should be exactly were I said it was, if u cant find it you can also ftp to your xbox and edit the EVOX.INI.
In The ini around the top of it should be these to settings.
Set them exactly like they are just below then upload your evox.ini and reboot.
After all of that the game should run like normal now.
DebugTSR = No
TSR_Type = 1

Well, I have the same problem. Here's what I did to fix it.
Unplug your xbox from the network. Load up Halo 2. Then when you are in the main menu screen, plug the network back in. And voila! It's like magic! But do beware though. Once you go back to the title, and your xbox is still plugged into the network, it'll freeze again.
