@PinkGnu

You know asswipe, you don't have to use this tutorial. The reason jon and I tell people to read, is because quite frankly, we've gotten tired of answering the same questions over and over. Most of the time, I feel like I'm talking to a ten year old with ADHD.

And no one thinks they're cool. Jon is cool to me, because of his awesome tutorial that was so easy to use. But none think they are cool. We've got brains, that's all I can say.

@people with questions about versions:

Just use the version that Jon's tutorial uses. It will be easier to understand that way.

If you are confused about NTSC and PAL, just think of Sony Computer Entertainment of America for NTSC and Sony Computer Entertainment of Europe for PAL.

NOTE: I may be using Sony as an example but it follows along the same lines for Microsoft.

ok well the party is posponed for me but im pretty sure i have ntsc because there is only one file of ltool 1.7.5 for mechassault i was on another site and they said it might be that the action replay memory card corrupted the game save seeing as how they have been known to but i am wondering if this is correct

@WizardWW2 - No, the Evox dash should automatically load when the Xbox powers on instead of the MS Dash if done properly. Also, be sure you're turning it on with the small POWER button, not the big EJECT button. But if it's still giving you error 21, it sounds to me like you selected the wrong version of UDE to install. Try re-running the installer and selecting the other one....

@cybershot - you can't play XBL with a softmodded Xbox. You'll be banned at one point or another. When they replace your HD they will have to put your eeprom on the new one, so it doesn't matter...

@Biggjake - I'm sorry man, I have never heard of or seen this problem. When you upgrade your dash with an Xbox Live enabled game, all you have to do is run the Linux installer and it will be fine. I don't know what you're doing wrong. You're probably selecting the wrong settings for your Xbox. In which case, REREAD the tutorial and select the proper settings during installation of the mod that pertain to your box...

jon so u mean that, if they replace my HD, they will put my bill gates electric signature thingy on the new one (not the 80 gig one) so i can play xbl again if i switch my 80 gig with the stock one? or are u saying i cant play live period if i softmod it. cuz i thought that if u power on the xbox with the game in it already so u dont let evox load, u cud still play......

let me try this again. @any one who knows. my xbox freezes at the xbox logo screen. it wont play games and it wont load a dash. i took it in to get it looked at and they said the hd is damaged and they wont replace it becouse that is modding. i dont think you can replace the hd any way because you need the eeprom from your original hd right? and i cant get to it. well what i was wanting to know was would a mod chip fix my problem? PLease answer
