p.s i wish some one would write a full guide on how and where to put roms and emus on xbox

 

Here is a tutorial on ftping . http://www.se7ensins.com/forums/other-tutorials/85-ftp-your-xbox.html . Generally you put your emulators in E:/Emus or F:/Emus or G:/Emus . Or whatever your emulator folder is named . Hope this helps ya .

 

thanks ill have alook and giv it a try ( iv never done this befor so i hope i dont *bleep* it up lol )

 

Since you have a softmod, do what S10MAN said or just
use XBMC to find your PC and download them from your PC
to the correct folders metioned above.

 

hi again i have a new problem iv been looking all over the net and cant seem to find the help my F drive has a error ( thats all the info it tells me ) and the file system ( thats all the files when your in the xbox's hdd ) is all over the place what can i do to resolve this stupid problem do i have to try and sort it out and fix it or do i just format the slayer off the hdd and replace it with a newer verion ( if so what is the best one out there and can your get it for free as i dont have a credit/ debit card or money )
and sorry for bringin up a dead thred

 

EVERYTHING XBOX SOFTWARE IS FREE.. so forget dealing with the scammers.

Now.. your F has an error.. if it's still a stock drive it will only be small and you have probably filled it up.. it only takes one retail game.

You need to learn to ftp to the box.. there are literally hundreds of guide scattered about with how to do that.. and everything else as well.

It's a softmod?.. if so slayers isn't what has been used.. you just have evox installed.. so don't under any circumstances mess with any files on C: or E/dash.. you can have a go at formatting F:.. but touching e or c WILL mess everything up in a way that you will have a very hard time recovering from.

 

i have a word doc with how to ftp plus i got my brother inlaw to do it for me and i dont have a game on there only save data the ms dash and slayer thats it no music no photos nothing so it cant be full is there any thing elce you could recomend ?

 

F can be full.. or not formatted.. or even on a 1.0 or 1.1 non-existent due to the hdd being only 8.4 gigs and/or not enabled in the dash XD .. hahaha
a softmod has a full set of C fies backed up on E.. that takes a good 500mb's or so

try formatting F

Anything else I can suggest.. yeah.. how about reading some of the many many stickies?

 

and i have one for you try reading the thread. I have said i have looked all over the net for the info ( what typ of homosapion are you !!! )

more then 2 months has passed between now and your original post... and you still haven't figured stuff out.... you are indeed a newbie and a real slow learner.... but here we go:

go get yourself the aid 4.3x (not sure what the latest version is) disc (dvd), it has 4+ gig of apps and stuff on it. all programs you (may ever) need will be on that disc. the slayer (2.7) is very good (i myself use that) but has less programs on it (for me that is oke, since i ftp stuff over).

you have a chip in it, that is good. it has 2 advantages which will make it easier for you to upgrade to a larger hdd. which chip you actually have doesn't matter. namely, if you boot of your chip the aid / slayer disc will boot automatically (the first advantage of the modchip).

meaning, put the slayer disc into the dvd drive and reboot your xbox so that it boots of your modchip!!!!

how to prepare your new drive?
take out (of your xbox) the old hdd (stock 8gig), put in the new hdd (40 gig). then boot the dvd (aid) or cd (slayer) OF YOUR CHIP. then (referring to the slayer 2.7 disc i use) choose the option to build an upgraded hdd. the disc will format the hdd and put all the files there where they are suppose to be. the slayer has all the apps (avalaunch, xbmc and some emulators). then choose your primary startup dash and your good to go. keep in mind that the slayer disc will only work as long as you boot of your chip. if you do not boot of your chip, after preparing your hdd with slayer, it will boot into the ms dash!

for the aid disc, i assume something similar goes. but maybe that has an option to install a softmod install on your xbox, if so (a softmod install i mean) it should work both of the modchip and ms bios. but maybe someone else who knows the content of aid can elaborate on that...... but the slayer disc install will only work as long as you boot of your chip every time!

if you have a chip, you do not have to lock your harddrive to your eeprom (the second advantage of the modchip). but if you boot of the original ms bios, the hdd has to be locked to your eeprom. with slayer/aid you have an option to lock your hdd. no need for the eeprom reader, your modchip will read out the eeprom and lock your hdd to your eeprom!

the aid disc i do not use, but there are tons of apps and emulators on there. if you want a lot of programs, go get that disc (Around 4.5 gig). slayer is around 650 mb, so using bittorrent you will get that faster.

for the roms, doesn't really matter where you put it (at least the emulators i play/use). i play snes games, and the snes emulator doesn't care where the snes roms are. within the snes emulator you can browse to the directory where the roms are.

go learn how to use ftp, it is so simple. any half-brain peanut can get that to work and it is almost a must to put files over to your xbox.

a good dvd media are the arita and platinum dvd's! both plus and minus work for me on all drives (philips, samsung and the thomson!!) same for philips 4 speed CDRW (which i use for the slayer disc)

 

oh thank you thats all i wanted and yeh i know im a slow learnere although i already know how to ftp and so all i need to do with the hdd is wope it cleen then plug it in and install the data thanks ( thats easyer than i thought )

 

ftp'en was the hardest thing to get your head around.

btw. not all hard drives are lockable. i myself bought around 10 or someting like drive with 40 gig capacity. and guess what, that is the really small proportion that is not lockable.... so if your drive isn't lockable either, don't bother with locking the drive (will not work) and always boot of the chip (that way the drive does not have to be locked)!!!

 

ok im gonna boot from the chip from whjat i just read it looks easyer than trying to buld a eeprom reader and my new hdd it locked at the moment ( i riped it out of a old pc from my friend ) i do have a guide on how to set it up

 

ehmmmmmmmmmmm......

if you take out a harddrive out a computer (not a xbox), the harddrive isn't locked.... pc's don't make use of locked harddrives, only xbox do by demanding that it is locked to the eeprom..... pc's don't work that way... no need to unlock a pc drive that isn't locked to begin with.
so in your case, no need to build the eeprom reader. it has no use in your case.

 

thank you so if i get this right all i do now is rip out the hdd from the box and put the new one in and burn the aid ( iv desided to go for aid now it has more apps plus its time for a change ) on to a dvd disk ( will dvd rw be fine ) and follow what it says to install it and get my xbox back up and running

 

that is all that you have to do.....
dvdrw... might or might not work, some drives are picky, some drives aren't able to read some types of dvdrw. just burn it and try if your dvd drive likes the media.

 

ok ill give it a try and i take it you have done this befor then ? and thank you for the reashurence ( if its spelt like that ) as soon as i get aid then i will be geting straight onto it thank you
