My Xboxs aren't anything fancy actually!

My main unit is a modchipped Xbox (from way back when) with a stock HDD.

My others are also stock, except Softmodded!

I use them almost only for streaming media from my server (1.6 TBytes and counting)

Then only thing that changes in them is the version of XBMC... They all have the black case, Samsung DVD drives and network access!

 

ok here i am.
What I have:
-rooter
-crossover cable
-chipped Xbox (i have avaluch evox(the one that i use the most)and Xenium as dashboard

What i want to do:
-i want to FTP to my Xbox so i can install games init because it is very old and it has difficulties to read games.

other info:
Ip: 192.168.1.2 (it changes if i conect it to my Xbox
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
default gateway: 192.168.1.1

 

some1 help svp how do u step by step from 1st to last step download and install auto installer 4.10 Im mean to me as if i was stupid that how much probs i have

 

My new games will not play from the CD. It just jumps back to the dashboard. I followed chunkheads tips about checking the region etc. but it still didn't work.
I copied the games to my HDD using DVD2XBOX, and tried playing the games again, but the it still jumps back to the dashboard.

This seems strange, because it cant be a DVD drive problem if the the games still won't play from the HDD, can it?

 

Guys, try and keep your individual problems out on the forum, not in this thread!

 

but chunkhead your the one that said to me to go here and say my problem in another forum "how to ftp to your Xbox

 

This is the general troubleshooter page, not an individual issue thread!

Either post in thread linked above that most closely matches your issue or make a new thread on the forum!

wassup, chunk? It's been a while since i've bugged you with newbie questions. Here it is:

- you sure a switch will solve my problems? i've been told only a router would since only a router splits and shares the signal and that switch has to be configured with similar IP's to get Xlink Kai to share the signal between the PC and the Xbox.

- i'm thinkin' of buying a 360. does xlink kai allow the 360 using the same method? can i kick ass on doa4 for free?

- you hear anything about modding the PS3? Got one for Christmas. Ninja Gaiden Sigma owns!!! Best game in ages

Thanks, bro. Hope you a had a cool Christmas (no pun intended) and a Happy New Year

 

Very nice tuts! I find myself referencing them over and over. I am attempting to upgrade a xbox hd using your steps.
Keep up the good work.

 

good luck, ive done mine using chunks
tuts. no hitch's either i even swapped
my HDD with a 40GB a week later using
chimp. take your time, read everything
twice and do it once. once you can FTP
backup your stock drive C and E and copy
over the eeprom.bin for future use/repair.

Hey Chunk, thanks for everything you've posted, seems like you've helped a lot of people out!! Now, I'm hoping you can help me out...

I've had a modded xbox for about four years now... I use it for games, movies, music, etc... i've got it networked to my PC through a dlink router; i use ultrafxp for movies/tv shows, and i use qwix for games.. And i haven't had a problem with anything until now...

Yesterday, i turned on my xbox, and suddenly there's a big NOLINK! error in the bottom left corner, which turns into 0.0.0.0 errx after a while... I've done some searching around the net, and after two days now of trying to come up with a solution, and i haven't been able to get anything to work... i've gone through all my settings on the xbox, enabled/disabled everything, and nothing helps... i know the cable and router still work fine, cuz my laptop gets internet from it when i plug it into the same cable... I'm lost!

Any help/advice/opinions/anything would be greatly appreciated...

thanks!

 

Ok here's my situation. I just bought an xbox like 2 weeks ago and it is able to read burnt games. I want to FTP into my xbox and I know you need a modded one. Im not completely sure if mine is modded since when i boot it up, it deos the regular xbox boot but it diplays EvoX in upper left hand corner. It deosnt have any fancy menus, displays, options or anything it just displays the regular xbox menu. Ive followed several guides on FTP but none of them work. I mess with the xbox connection setings(under the regular menus) and follow the steps a-z. Nothing works. some1 plz help. If my xbox reads burnt games deos that mean its softmodded? EvoX is Evolution X? BTW the xbox deosnt have a chip in it.

 

Hi chunkhead, I'm sorry to bother you.

The deal is that I've performed the soft mod process like a lot, but I always had the same result: Games won't load, they just keep me jumping back to the dashboard, even if I copy the game to the hard drive, same thing happens. Weird thing is that I have a couple of pirate games that actually work (wining eleven 9 and Cruzades)I can play snes roms, launch the media center with no problems, dvd2xbox everything but play other games than the wining eleven and the other that sucks by the way.. . I have use the tool for changing the video mode but it doesn't help at all.

I really appreciate any kind of help.

Best Regards.

tried to install the AR and had the same problem. Except when i decide to look for the drivers in the installation folder... Man i was dumb... But it worked out perfectly this way.

How do you get stuff to the xbox hard disk? I'd like to get emulators, music... stuff like that in there

 

Morning, this has got to be the best XBOX thread I have seen

I have 2 consoles at the moment, both hard modded running EvoX

I think I'll pick up a third and try a soft mod

Thanks
