I want to soft mod my xbox and get the super running and everything, but i have a few questions. Do you have to to change your dashboard to use it? Can you erase them? I know how to do it and all but i dont want to screw up my xbox
hi there for the first question im not exactly shure but why not anyway its a cooler one.for the erassing yes and if your a smart lad youll back up your harddrive and be able to use your xbox after.im actually just waitin for my action replay to arrive in the mail but ive been lookin into this for a long while.I have a guide that i find is very complete and my buddy used it to softmod his xbox so it works if ya wanna use it its right here for your use.....If by anychanse something goes wrong i will not b held accountable for your mistake........(mech assault and 007 version availible on demand I have searched the web for instructions and parts needed for the splinter cell softmod proccess.To save other people from having to do the same i have put together a guide with links to download pages and a site to buy a part that one can use with a usb storage device instead of using a xbox momory card and a action replay cd-rom. instructions and action replay download at http://www.eurogamer.net/forum_thread_posts.php?thread_id=28592 For xbox usb female converter cable go to http://www.modchip.ca/store/home.php?cat=263 these instructions are for the splinter cell softmod only 1. Copy the contents of SID.Splinter.Cell.v2.0.Xbox-Hq to your memory device. Also copy Splinter.Cell.v2.0.NTSC.Xbox-Hq or Splinter.Cell.v2.0.PAL.Xbox-Hq as it's needed too. The best ways are to use a modded Xbox to do it (by unzipping the file and copying the contents to E:\) and then transfering to your memory card, or use a Mega X-Key or Action Replay to dump the ZIP files on to. 2. Make sure the gamesave is on your unmodded Xbox, then turn it off. 3. Insert Splinter Cell and turn your Xbox on. When you're at the main menu of the game, select "Load Game" and then highlight "Linux". Tress A to boot the Installer. 4. Once the Installer has boot, I strongly suggest to make a backup of your C Drive. Use the "Create C Backup" option to backup your C drive. To back up the Eeprom you'll need to use the Evolution X dashboard, which you will have to install yourself after the softmod is done. The Eeprom backup is stored at C:\Backup (this can't be changed unfortunately) so please remember this. 5. Install the Softmod. Please note this deletes the MS Dash from C Drive, hence why you have been told to use the backup feature. 6. Install what dashboard you wish to use. Unfortunately due to lack of space I can only put Evolution X and UnleashX in this package, I hope that is good enough. 7. Shut down your Xbox, then restart it and remove the disc. If this has worked like it should, you should see your choice of dashboard (either EvoX or UnleashX). Please note if you boot your Xbox and leave the DVD Tray open it will take you back to the menu where you installed your Softmod. 8. If you want to put the MS Dashboard back on your Xbox, you'll need to put MS Dash 5960 on your Xbox. The easiest way to do this (once the box is softmodded) is to use my Auto-Installer Deluxe to delete the files from C Drive and install the latest MS Dash. Note: when this is done you'll have to repeat steps 3 to 7. 9. Restart your Xbox with the DVD tray open to bring up the Softmod menu. Run the "Patch MS 5960" now, and it will put the MS Dash back on C Drive, and patch it so your Dashboards can now use it. Note, the MS Dashboard will be called msdash.xbe now, since the Xbox still needs the hacked xboxdash.xbe in order to boot the softmod. Once you've selected this option, it will run through some tasks, then boot PPF-XBOX to do the rest. After PPF-XBOX has done it's work it will restart your Xbox. 10. Now is the time to make a backup of your modded C drive. This comes handy just in case a game tries to update your dashboard. If this ever happens, just use the "Restore Mod Backup". If you ever want to remove the Softmod (mainly for Xbox Live purposes) you can restore your backup of C Drive by using the "Restore C Backup" option in the Softmod menu.
2 quick things to add yes you do have to change the dashboard and if you dont have a mem stick(flash drive)then you can use the store-bought version of action replay and it comes with a pc hookup so no converter needed(woot!).
no, you dont have to change your dash to mod. You can run the exploit, then ftp to your xbox and put the modded maps. Then eject the cd and put in halo and there you go. Some exploits may not be able to ftp. Get the evox ones off xx360xx.com peace
