Hi

I have been reading this and find it very interesting

I was just wondering if you could transfer a soft mod from one modded xbox to another nonmodded xbox through the connector cable. Can you transfer the soft mod without going through one of the original games, or is that necessary? Any help and lots of details would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Well you screwed up by not backing up your hard drive onto your computer, well if you did backup your hard drive, then just restore it back onto your xbox!
If you didnt back it up, i feel bad for you!

No, not at all. A crossover cable routes the transmit signals from one piece of equipment to the receive signals of another piece of equipment, and vice versa.

If you are trying to hook your xbox directly to you PC's NIC you will need a crossover cable.

An ethernet cable won't allow it to go both ways. You can use that type to connect to your xbox if you're doing it over a home Network. (i.e. Router)

Thanks alot, that saves me alot of work, i've been trying to do this with an ethernet cable! I feel dumb well got 3 questions!

1. In the softmod tutorial, it says put the linux on the action replay, what is the file called? whats the extension? (.rar, .xbx, .xbe, .dat)
2. Can i do this softmod with a crossover cable instead of the action replay? (im too broke to buy that! lol )
3. Why is EvoX illegal, and would it be illegal for me to post a link to evox-3985?

Thanks for responding o fast

No, maybe not a good idea posting that link..part of the fun is finding this stuff...BTW gonna send a few unhappy softmodders this way as well...read warning at eastcoastxbox (jcollins) before proceeding with risky mod....ALWAYS back up content of HDD..esp C:/ dash files, don't think "it won't happen to me" cos it CAN and DOES... USB info is at xboxlinux project...and please remember.. ""assumption is the mother of all **** ups""

I'm hoping that all you clever people out there might be able to help me.....
I'm trying to softmod my xbox (Crystal v1.6). I have all the h/w & s/w required.
The big problem I've got is that I can't copy the saved game files to the memory card via Action Replay s/w. I can copy the save game files into the 'PC database' within AR, but can't copy it to the memory card.
I think its the memory card driver, as it is currently a Microsoft driver, but it wont let me change it to an AR driver.
PLEASE HELP - this is driving me insaine, any and all help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thank you!!

to everyone who wants to softmod there xbox, please go here: http://aid.xbox-hq.com/

download the files from bittorrent, as they don't host them on the site, basically it is a complete Xbox softmod installer, with all the applications dashboards etc you'll need. As well as tutorials on how to FTP into your xbox and connect XBMC to pc networks. It also walks you through it step by step.

hardware wise you'll need something like this:
http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?category=85&products_id=3034&

you'll also need an original copy of splinter cell,mech assault or 007 agent under fire - hire it?.

the bit torrent download can be found from a link on this page:
http://aid.xbox-hq.com/index.php?cmd=downloads

and remember - always BACK UP YOUR XBOX HARD DRIVE BEFORE SOFTMODDING

this is what i used too.

start game >click A>choose linux click A>checkpoints click A should then load linux (splinter cell will dissapear)

If it still hangs on the load game screen try 'Levels', rather than check points.

I this doesn't work, try wiping the saves off the xbox and the memory card and transfer them again.

you'll need this:
SID.Splinter.Cell.v2.0.Xbox-Hq
then either:
SID.Splinter.Cell.v2.0.NTSC.Xbox-Hq
Or
SID.Splinter.Cell.v2.0.PAL.Xbox-Hq

Please note that there is an extra NTSC and PAL gamesave for Splinter Cell, so make sure you use the correct one for your region.

how big and what type of memory card do you have?

Hi ... i was in a game with a softmodder and saw what he could do on halo 2. so i decided to try.

Im getting the original Splintercell and Action replay

But ... I saw an article on http://aid.xbox-hq.com and it said :

'Why use Nkpatcher you ask? Because of the fact that it can automatically block Xbox Live, '

and i wondered what it meant , Would i not be able to play Xbox live anymore if i installed it.

And what Can i actually do with a softmod on my xbox
