Well that's the first thing you need to do. You need to either mod your xbox with a chip or softmod it using a memory card exploit.

I wouldn't advise you to play on XBL with your backup disc. The smartxx v2 supposedly has stealth technology, but I wouldn't risk it with a backup.

If you want to play on XBL then you need a chip. Softmod doesn't have stealth abilities and you can't sneak around XBL. I would suggest you ge t the Xenium 3 chip.

Sure is. That is included in an xbox right?

Where are you buying this from?

I love your sig Quadratic. I like the quote "F&*k yo couch" from a different Chappelle episode.

Alright, to the point. I have an x3 with the latest bios. I installed it myself and everything has been working great as far as making backups. I haven't touched the HDD yet.

Here is my problem. When I attempt to FTP a disc to back it up it displays the previous disc. For example, I was playing Burnout 3 yesterday. I just got Madden 2006 and I wanted to make a backup. When I put Madden 2006 in, I see the burnout directory via FTP. When I put the Burnout disc in and connect via FTP I see the Madden directory when I FTP. I just reflashed my BIOS and its still happening. I also switched to a different FTP program so that isnt the problem either. I also tried a couple other discs and I always see the previous disc. This happens even when I refresh the FTP directory with the disc in. When I start backing up the madden disc, it works but it thinks its transferring from the other disc.

Anybody ever seen this? I think there is some kind of FTP directory cache on the xbox. Is there a way to delete it if that is the case? I tried rebooting my pc and trying different clients FlashFXP and bulletproof. If there is a way to delete FTP cache that may be stored on my PC, that would be cool too. Free beer for any help. Any help or emails would be very appreciated.

Cheers

no but i just found an even better deal from 2 sites 1 for upgrading my harddrive for 20 dollars up to i think 200 gb. other dms xbit chip alone for 44.00 i think its alot better deal is it worth installing myself?
(i can take apart my xbox takes me 20 min so putting in will be no prob ) can u find be a better deal (will i need to write the bios or download from somewhere) also it sayz does not change orig. functionality of my xbox could i still download games and such after i got a dashboard?)

Hi folks

I have a evoX chip in my xbox and it plays back up games without a problem. The guy that was backing up my games for me moved away and so I am going to continue backing up my originals myself, so have purchased the pc, got a couple of dual layer dvd writers and have Nero, dvd decryptor. (Have read that the software alone will not copy the xbox games)

Just wandering if the the complete step by step at the start of this thread is current and up to date for me, as a complete and utter novice to anything like this, would be able to use to start backing up my originals and if there is anything additional to that guide that I should be aware of...

Thanks in advance

What FTP program are you using? If it's FlashFXP then that's probably the problem. I used to experience the same problems, but then I changed to WS FTP Pro and everything was fine. I don't think it's your xbox. More than likely it's your FTP client.

halofan54

It is worth it to install things yourself (for the sake of experience). However, make sure you follow correct procedure (putting the mod chip in first, flashing the bios, installing a dashboard). Afterwards, get a bios disc for whatever dashboard you have to install a bigger hdd.

rayukusa

The current thread is up to date.

That sounds like a Crossover cable. If it is, then sure you can do that.

It's probably giving you the files of the previous game you had in there. I would try using a different FTP program, like WS FTP Pro, to avoid confusion. Some people (like myself) experienced problems like that with FlashFXP and once we changed to another client, it worked fine.

the below and i keep getting an error please help


i do. Click on File > connection > Connecton wizard
2. When the Wizard launches > Site Name: Xbox > click on next
3. Server Address: 192.168.0.3
Note this has to be the correct IP address you have on your XBOX the above address is the IP address I am using - check what IP address your XBOX is using
4. User Name: xbox, Password: xbox
5. Connection Type: FTP
6. "there is a check box checked "Connect to this Site" leave checked and then Click on Finish
7. On the Right hand window you will have a Tab called Xbox and you should see the Folders\Directories on your Xbox.
