@ R0gue38

there is no linux installer for Halo 2, just the 3 games mentioned in the tutorial.

Been reading these posts for the last three days....have a crossover cable that I just bought from Best Buy, an original Mechassault game, Action Replay with usb cable that allows me to hook up the memory card it came with.

When I move over the files from the MechInstaller. I get a prompt that says "not a valid xbox game save"

Here are my green-behind-the-ear questions:
1. Before I can install something like Slayer Evox, I have to softmod with (mech, mech installer, etc) right?

2. What's the difference between slayer evox and shademand's ready made xbox?

3. I tried burning the slayer iso to a verbatim DVD-R and the xbox would not read it.

4. What's the difference between a xbox 1.6 and 1.6b? How do I tell which one I have.

5. How do I install something like slayer evox, evox. unleashx, avulaunch? I don't care which one, I just want to be able to install one!

6. FTP. I need to have a homebrew dashboard before I can FTP?

7. how do I backup my original factory settings of the xbox in case anything goes wrong.

I'm in circles over here. Any advice at all is much appreciated.

Thank you.

@ alphy

make sure the gamesaves are in .rar format when you transfer them.

here are the answers to your questions
1. evox/unleashx is installed by doing the softmod
2. these are used to fix xboxes that have already been modded, you dont need them to preform a softmod
3. that is because your xbox isnt modded yet, unmodded xboxes only run signed xbox games
4. idk but it doesnt matter
5. that is what the softmod does
6. yup, exox, unleashx, avalaunch and others will work
7. after you softmod your xbox backup your eeprom.bin file located in the e drive and you can fix your hard drive in the computer

Thanks so much for the quick advice.

I was able to get NKnave onto the memory card finally. Thanks for the tip! Now I put in Mechassault (non plat. version) and under run linux, it says:

Controls: UNKNOWN
Difficulty: UNKNOWN
Current Level: UNKNOWN

Than, when I on hit Run Linux, I get an error message that says Unable to load <run Linux>, Press A to continue. Any Ideas?

So, I thought I would try another route; I have another .rar file called mechinstaller - 1.0, but this is one that won't load onto the memory card.

Incidentally, the memory card that came with the Action replay, does not work (is not reconized on the usb reader, but works fine on the xbox. The cheap green one I bought from gamestop ended up working and that's how I was able to finally transfer over files from NKnave.

Any ideas on what to do now?

here, try using this installer http://rapidshare.com/files/8338270/sid....ion.xbox-hq.rar you have to copy SID4.NK.Launcher and SID4.NK.Loader.Mechassault to your xbox and load the game, also, i heard somwhere that there are a lot of different versions of mechassault and some of them don't work so you may be better off using a different game.

Thank you! I had a mechassault that had "not for sale" on it. I went to Blockbuster and got an original. Got the Xbox working great, with unleashx.

Now, I'm not able to FTP. I bought a crossover cable so it's not the wrong cable theory. I've disabled my norton firewall, but in following the tutorials, using flashftp, i can't connect.

make sure your xbox ip type is dhcp, and you are putting in the correct ip in FlashFXP and you also put in xbox for username and password.

Hello poeple, sweet guide you've got going, but i need help with my xbox, ive recently deleted EvoX from my Xbox so that i could play on XBOX LIVE. Since then Bungie has decided to make the New Halo 2 Maps, Tombstone and Desolation Compulsary to play some of the Matchmaking Criteria. When i was downloading the New Maps I got an Error saying that i do not have enough free memory on my xbox and said that i Need to delete about 4k more Blocks. I searched and searched through music and save games to see what was the problem. They all summed up to be about 32,000 blocks used (mostly halo maps). After thi i thought, Fuck it, And I Wiped my xbox of all savegames except the Xbox live User accounts save.. (42 blocks) But after deleting everything it said that i only had 34,284 free blocks left of a Possible 50,000+
So my question is Does anyone know how to acces and see whats on my Xbox Harddrive ither than using the Default Dashboard? I think that I may have left a game on the Harddrive when I deleted EvolutionX
Can you please EMAIL ME with a reply? my email is
Chris_rob_b@hotmail.com
Cheers!

Email addresses are not allowed here.

Also, what has this got to do with softmodding?

You can possibly hotswap to look at your files. Either that or re-install a softmod and FTP.

Hey,

As this is a first post of mine, it seems like a bad impression. You'll have to put up with that.

I have made my own Action Reply Max thing, out of an xbox controller, and a male USB cable. that was pretty easy.

I also have a memory card which I can use too.

Basically I need to confirm which splintercell I have, I believe I have the original but I am not so sure.

And also I need the files for the splintercell installer. Assuming I have the correct one.

Ill also need alot of help, heh.

Cheers for readin',
Steve.
