Are you hard or soft modded? If hard, what chip?

I'm asking because I ran into this problem with some other games not loading from the hard drive.

I'm still kinda new to xbox's, but I've been modding ps2's for quite awhile now. Just about a month or so back, I traded a modded ps2 for a modded xbox with an Aladdin chip (older white one)and a 200 gig hd. I had just purchased a xbox not 2 days before that and had ordered a X3 CE and was waiting for it to arrive. But I thought "cool", I'll play with this trade for awhile and when the chip arrives, I'll mod the other and sell this one with the aladdin in it.

A couple of games I loaded onto the aladdin xbox, those being Stubbs the Zombie and Greg Hastings Paintball Max, wouldn't play from the hard drive. So I checked the forums and seen that other people were having troubles with these games, so I just kinda wrote it off and figured I'd just play from the dvd drive.

Well after I finished modding my other xbox with the x3 ce and slayers 2.6 (WAY much easier than soldering a chip into a ps2), and was loading up the hd via ftp (I put in a 300 gig), I figured what the heck, and loaded Stubbs. Well sure enough, it plays just fine from the hd with the new mod chip. So I've loaded the others and everything plays just fine. I dl'ed the PAL version of Black and that plays with no problems.

Now I don't know if it is because of the different mod chips or not, but I do know that some games wouldn't load with the older chip and everything so far does with the new one.

I didn't have a problem backing this game up. It worked just like all the others on both DVD and HDD.
There should not be anything special to it. You may just want to try FTP'ing the files from the Xbox again and create a new ISO to see if the new one will work.
But mine was not backed up fromt the disc, it was already an ISO when i got it.

Graphically, this game is beautiful. I believe I also heard that it's suppose to be a 3-part game. Don't know that as a fact, just remember hearing it somewhere.

Game play is VERY good, too. I would say great, but I feel that it should've incorporated into the controls the ability to lean to the sides. The controls are very basic. I must say that the smoothness of the aiming is the BEST I've ever used on a console.

if you have a chip or are softmodded then the region should not matter.

Regions don't matter if you Xbox is modded? I know that's not the case with PS2. I'll try Enigmah if it doesn't work. I have a softmodded Xbox. Thanks for the help guys. On the original I only use Qwix for making my backups.

Maybe I'm wrong but isn't the problem that the game is PAL? Not compatible with US and Japan TV's? That's why Enigmah was created to allow a US or Europe xbox's output to be changed from NTSC to PAL or vice versa. Unless unbeknownst to me the xbox will convert the signal from PAL to NTSC for you, then you're SOL. I've never tried playing a PAL game, so like I said, I could be wrong.

BTW the PAL version is working on my softmodded Xbox. Thanks guys. Maybe something is up with the NTSC version since I haven't seen a copy of it floating around online.

Jigen,
a chipped Xbox should not have a problem with either PAL or NTSC
Your TV on the other hand can cause a problem if it is not compatible with both formats. Although most are.
But i have had 3 different TV's and none of them had a problem playing either. And i have a few PAL games for both my Xbox and PS2 and they play just fine. (both systems have modchips)

There is also a setting on the Xbox that you can change the region on. Mine is set to NTSC by default but still plays PAL just fine. Most likely due to the chip.

Steimy, yeah I realize that it's the TV, not the xbox itself that would have issues. Most TV's (in the US anyway) are not compatible with PAL at all, so this was my concern. I'm going to have to get a PAL game and see if it works for me.

they should work.
Like i said, i am in the US myself. I have had 3 TV's that i have had no problems playing PAL games on.
Samtron, Samsung & Advent
Plus 2 TV's at my moms house.
But having both my systems chipped may be why i didn't have a problem because the PS2 has a force NTSC mode and Y-Postion fix
option on the chip. The xbox i never switched anything and it played them on every TV i have tried so far.

For the sake of knowledge and experimentation I got the PAL version of Black and tried it. No surprise, it did NOT work, because it's PAL. Just FYI, unless you have a PAL set at home, or a converter, this game is unplayable.
I'm going to borrow the PAL version of Soulcaliber 2 from a friend. He swears it works on his TV, and his set is a piece of crap.

And i have never had a problem with any PAL games working on either my PSTwo or Xbox
