I'm trying to install a softmod using Krayzies' 1.1 Ndure installer. I'm using an original Splinter Cell game for the exploit. I've got a madcatz 8mb memory unit that i'm using for the transfer. I'm using a modified controller as the memory unit reader for the pc. I can load up the 2 game saves on the MU from the pc just fine(1 is 4 blocks and the other is around 370 blocks). Once they're transferred to the XBOX, i restart and start Splinter Cell.

After loading the "Linux" gamesave in SC, i've gotten two different results:
1. Black screen that stays that way indefinitely.
2. Blinking Red LED with a message on screen saying that the cd couldn't be read by the xbox.

Thanks for any help you can give me!

First..do you have the right version exploit for your region..there are 2.. PAL and NTSC.. using the wrong region does no harm but freezes on a black screen forever.. then again the screen does go black for about 5 minutes. If everything seems right try making a coffee while it gets on with it. It will wait for you when it wants your input.

The other thing to check is that your game is a real original.. the classics version doesn't work.

Yes. I've got the correct NTSC version.

So even if everything is working, the screen could be black for up to 5 minutes before the softmod menu comes up?

No, it's definitely the original version.

I was curious how this turned out, because I just made a new post on it. I have the same situation going on. I'm going to let it stay black for 5 minutes and see what happens.

My problem has been solved.

The reason everything was messing up was that I had a cheap memory unit that was corrupting my game save. Once I went out and bout a ActiveReplay brand unit and reader, everything went completely smooth!

Oh, how I love XBMC!!!

I have XBMC as my default dash. I also have UnleashX on the system, but it isn't my dash anymore. I can access it from XMBC as an app.
