I have an Aladdin chip and evoX dashboard, i have been playing every game fine on either DVD-R or hdd backup, but i just tried playing a backup of GTA: San Andreas on both the hdd backup and DVD-R backup with the chip on and it doesn't work. It will just keeps on kicking me back to the dashboard. So i bored the original from a friend and it does this with the original GTA: San Andreas too.
I was only able to play it with the chip turned off. anyone know how to fix this?

there has been many cases its usually has something to do with evox or the bios flashed to the chip, usually its evox try another dashboard and see if the game boots....

Set your Xbox's region to whatever region your game belongs to (NTSC or PAL). GTA San Andreas has a region lock, so when you try playing with a region free Xbox it'll just kick you back to the default dashboard as if you reboot the Xbox. I think there was a patch available somewhere that disables the region lock, but I don't remember where to get it.
For example, when I tried to play it with my region set to Auto on Evo_X, it would do the same thing it did to you. However, when I changed the region to NTSC, it played just fine.
Also, the soft reset may have to be disabled as well.

As far as I know, GTA San Andreas is the only game on Xbox that has a region lock. For whatever reason it just wouldn't load unless I specified my Xbox as NTSC. Actually, now that I think about it, I may have had it set to default when it wasn't working instead of auto...
After reading theridges post I now remember that I had in fact set my Xbox to default (NTSC) while trying to play a PAL version of GTA San Andreas. I later got the NTSC version and set my region to auto and it worked properly. That's why theridges didn't have any problems while Manh and I did.
Sorry about the mix-up...
