HOW TO SOFTMOD XBOX EXPLAINED AGAIN FOR LAZY PEOPLE

I recoment you go and Google it and get the IRC client. I would recomend this site www.softmoddepot.com and go into their tutorials page on the forum or the chat channel and they will tell you how to do it. Sorry for being brief, but the tutorial I was going to give you did not have the site working.

 

Ok, First Post, Only to Say a few Things.
Cheers Technique For the Info but i have a couple of updates.
For once us Brits have dipped in. I just tried The Sid4.5 Softmod using The CLASSIC Splintercell (Budget Version) which i picked up for a couple of quid at a car Boot, Im sure Game has shitloads of them for under a tenner.
Then i tried to figure out the cheapest way of getting an Xbox save to a memory Card. Well i Ummed and Ahh'd And i must confess that i cheated. I went round to my mates house and stole his Executer Chipped Xbox whilst he was out on the beer and Used Xbox Save Manager to transfer the files needed to my Memory Card. Then i did the Install as Directed ALTHOUGH I had a little teething problem with a blank screen and was ready to throw it down the stairs, but fo some unkown reason i double tapped The eject and Unleash X Booted. (maybe its a quirk, maybe its meant to be like that). I have also found the cheapest way to get a memory card is to use a USB Flashstick (most self respecting geeks have them as standard now the floppy drive on laptops has Gone,RIP Floppy Discs) I then took a broken controller i had lying around cut the cable and i counted Five Wires. USB only uses four. (i Matched colour for colour and ignored the yellow) and connected it to my Xbox. It got formatted in FATX and became my xbox card. Will work on piccys if Req, and WHEN i suss out how to transfer to the Card using a PC and NO Cheat system and no mates Xbox I will post in Red, i Promise.
Lets try and keep Softmodding the CHEAPEST SOLUTION

and i know how to mod

 

hey i cant get my ip to work i dont have a router is there a way to mod the halo2 maps without one and i click make a backup thing but i cant get back to the normal dashboard and sometimes evox dont come up also how do you burn the whole game to the harddrive

 

too many questions.............................
Ok, Routers are not required, you can bodge it with a crossover cable. Xboxscene.com has a good tutorial on this. But routers can only cost a tenner and if you love halo, it really starts to rock eith a mini Xbox lan going on!!
With the backup you did on the softmod i presume you WANT MS Dash back. Firstly use BoXplorer to check that you still have it (check e drive, then backup). If you see a file named MSDASH.XBE then click to see if thats your dash. If you cannot find it you will have to download and FTP across a working dash. Then you can revert the Mod.
Hope that Helps, And to put a game on to a stock Xbox drive, use DVD2XBOX, but you are kinda limited for space. (approx 4.5GB) so enjoy

 

where can i get an official xbox memory card and action replay "max"???

 

@Oakley28. I found an action replay Max at my local EB games was about 25-30 bucks. The kit came with a USB to memory card adaptor, 8MB memory card and cdrom with SW for moving files over to the memory card. Also found it at Wal-mart. AHH good old wally world.

 

do you just need action replay or the action replay max????

also somone told me that you need an official memory card is this true???

would this be okay

@Oakley28 I used the memory card that came with the action replay kit and had no problem softmodding my xbox. Not sure if there is any difference between the action replay and action replay max. Just found the box mine came in and it says action replay max on it.

 

Sorry did not ready your entire post. the item on ebay looks near identical to mine, and the item list has everything you need. Memory card, usb adapter and sw to run it. should work fine happy bidding.

 

you did read my post i edited it soory but thanks for replying. Ill bid on it now and see what goes down. Still confused on how to do the mod but im sure ill be fine. I know how to do the mod, its the backing up the eeprom or summit thats baffeling me :S

 

Use Krayzie Ndure softmod pack. really user friendly when you run the softmod the very first thing it asks you to do is backup eeprom and M$ dash. It also will not let you install the softmod until it finds the back up of those files so you cannot break it even if you wanted to. I am no expert but if you need any help getting the files or running the mod send me a PM (if you win the bid LOL).

 

Okay..I finally softmodded my xbox. I wanna put a game i already own on my HD, And install homebrew. Any help or links to places that can would be of great use. I looked everywhere on xbox-hq and found nothing.

 

I just use unleashed dashboard drop the game in the tray and in the menu choose copy game to hard drive and presto

 

how do you back up the hard drive ??? is that what the FTP(ing) with your computer is all about?? Just wanna make sure i know exactly what im doing before i do it. Also tio FTP, can i use a regular ethernet cable or do i need a differnet cable ???

 

Once you boot up with the game's linux installer, you can ftp your original hard drive. You can use an ethernet cable if you are on a router or you can get a cross over cable if you do not use a router. Make sure you back up ur eeprom before you mod. Just ftp everything, the C and E folders of your stock hard drive incase anything will go wrong later.

 

this tut sucks!
