I had the same problem. Chances are that a) your memory card is screwed up, or b) you have a platinum edition of Splinter Cell. The platinum edition has a patch which fixed the exploit that is used to activate SID 4. Try and get an original copy of MechAssault with the code MS02301L on the back in the inner ring (closest to the hole in the center), or the 007 Agent Under Fire with the serial code 1448517 on the front in the small print. If you want to use Splinter Cell, I suggest you try and find an original copy of it. The platinum edition is the only one that I know that has the patch.

Oh, and your Linux SID is probably not bad, but just doesn't work with your Splinter Cell.

Here's what the 007 Agent Under Fire CD should look like (used respectfully without biline's permission)


And this is where the MechAssault code should be


Your copy of Splinter Cell should not have the silver thing above it. Here's an example:

Notice the words "Platinum Hits"? That means that it's a platinum edition. Splinter Cell has one, too. That version has the patch.

Hope that that helps!

Try Bearshare. apps/archives and type the exact file name, or copy and paste it. This is the name of a Splinter cell hack save. You have to extract it. There will be two parts zip 1, and zip 2. Drag and drop them on your action replay.

ltools_v1[1].7.5_SC_NTSC

It might not show up right away, depends on who's online.

For example; unzip fceultra_v16.zipinto its own folder NES and transfer it into F>Games>Emulators on you X Box. and ftp your roms into F>Games>Emulators>NES>roms.

If your having trouble with FTP check out http://teammodders.com/viewtopic.php?t=128

Might be a dumb question. But if I got that USB adapter could I use a flash music player to transfer these files onto my xbox?

I don't think its a dumb? I don't know, but I don't see why not. Here is a well written tuturial with pictures on adding a usb adapter to your controller, with a removable 128 MB flash stick. So yeah I hope and think it will work without any additional drivers. Let us know what you get accomplished. Gone.........

Try erasing it with the xbox and the action replay software, otherwise the mem card might be bad.

Yes you can use a usb stick, but you would need to prevent windows from reformatting it everytime you plug it into your computer. And you would need to build a usb adapter for the xbox

@jjfreak5

After reading some more in this thread I meantioned earlier http://mesh.typepad.com/blog/2005/01/creating_a_usb_.html ; There is a post;

Quote" If you read the whole tutorial you will notice that in the begining it tells you that any info on your USB MEM device will be lost when using it for the first time on the XBOX (formatting differences). The same goes for using it on your computer AFTER it is used and reformatted on the XBOX. Unfortunately, you can only use the USB MEM device for ONE of the applications: XBOX or Computer. Pick your poison!" Quote

This pretty much confirms what Ca$h said. I would recommend just getting an action replay, it is well worth the money for what you are doing and can potentially accomplish with your console while moding, However the usb adapter tut is excellent for attaching usb devices, storing lots of game saves, and looks good too.

@WOOTY,

heres your problem: youve got the splinter cell save profile on the xbox, thats good. but youre missing the other key file: linux installer. if you have both the linux installer copied to your xbox, and the linux profile copied to your xbox, you should be good to go. a friend of mine had the exact same problem, i fixed it in a second.

Alright halo 2 does not fit on standard xbox hard drive. Did you back up your eeprom at the very begining like i said? Try using FTP to transfer your backed up eeprom to your computer.

Umm you can find a larger memory card or you can find a smaller softmod installer. I have never purchased the action replay memory card, i used my own memory card and just built my own usb extension.


--------------------------------------------------------

I havent used this installer in over a year. I never really liked it...

My favorite installer ever is SID v2.1
I plan to add that onto this guide. Because it is awesome. It has less features than the Krayzie Uxe Installer but it has never ever let me down.

I am not sure if it is possible to put it on a memrory card... If you FTP into your xbox your backed up eeprom should be in the "E" directory

No need for a special cord. All you need is to connect the xbox to your network.

here is a tutorial
