@Skeetmchn - You need to download the gamesave that corresponds to whatever game you're using. For instance, if you're using Splinter Cell, you'd download the gamesave for Splinter Cell, 1.7.5, NTSC/PAL depending on what type of Xbox you have. The second step is to change the .rar to a .zip (i believe you may not have to do this, but some people have had to) so in order to do this, download WinAce, and read back a few posts, i think Slith tells how to change it to .zip format. As far as downloading it, just drag it from the right side window over to the left side window in whatever folder you want to, how do i know where you want it saved? Finally, read the tutorial again, i tell you exactly how to get the gamesave onto the Action Replay memory card....

oooo that might be a problem, the ntcp/pal, because i just put a random one on my memory card, so maybey that might be a problem. How do i identify which one my xbox uses? i have the version of my xbox, well.. the k number, so can i tell which one i should use by my k number?

Mini linux is a mini version of Linux operating system. This is not something that is to be installed. DO NOT USE THIS if you don't know how to use Linux. You could seriously F up your Xbox. Nowhere in my tutorial did i say click or mess with anything called Mini Linux. I hope you haven't done anything to mess up ur box. Cut it off and make sure it will still boot up and that you get the Evox dashboard....

Reposting my previous post
@SkeetMchn

ok I have read this entire thread so DONT FLAME me when I ask this question. I have a Xbox v1.6. If I try to either backup the hard drive or try to install UDE2, I get a green garbage on the screen and the light on the XBOX is orange. I know that you say this is normal. I am trying to backup the hard drive at the moment and it has been going on for 45 mins. Is this normal? Other people who had the same problem, how long does the backup and install take? This is a brand new Xbox and I think that their might be some security feature locking the XBOX up. BTW: the screen is frozen and nothing moving.

EDIT: I am using componet cables, does this matter?

EDIT2: Ok after 2 hours I give up. I am going to try a different softmod technique. Wierd because it doesn't even hurt my Xbox. It is like it is catching the mod and freezing the Xbox. Oh well. Worst case is I go buy a used Xbox.

EDIT3: Softmod Installer deluxe v1.01 works perfect and WAY better than itools. None of this green garbage screen freezing crap. Modded Xbox in less than 2 minutes. Also, you don't have to tell it what UDE or settings to use it automatically detectes it. By far the easiest Softmod option. :)

Thanks J, i was about to run it overnight haha.. um ya.. Is the Evox dashboard the cool blue looking dashboard? Because if it is, then how to i get this to be set as my default dash, when i load up my xbox by opening the disc tray, it opens itools.. So to get into the blue dash, i have to load halo, then when it gets to "Press Start Button", i open the disc tray, and it goes to it. Also, my x box live will not work with the mod on, i modded it earlier, and i took it off because xbl wouldnt work. I just had to go into the network setting and switch the IP from manual to automatic, but i do not know how to do this with the blue dash. Right now before I do any modding, I want to get my xbl online.. help

These keyboards just suck guys. The a and the q; the z and the w; JESUS. Not even an exclamation.

@Skeet

XBL will not allow you to play if it detects mods on your XBOX.

Later guys. New hotel today.
