Tutorial/FAQ: Xbox Softmodding

hi, i have a problem. i got the action replay and the action replay memory card. i think the action replay is the original not max but i am not sure. it does not say "max" anywhere on the manual or the cd rom. the cd rom and device are green and black. it is 2003 verison. anyway. i tryed the softmod with 007. i did everything down to the letter. when i select load mission and pick the save, nothing happens. it just loads stage 3. i see no sign of softmod installer. now i was reading that some action replay memory cards don't do the trick. some people say that it has to be a offical microsoft memory card in order to bring the save over correctly. ok, but... action replay states that other memory cards will not work with the ar software. so witich is it? what should i do? do i need to buy a microsoft memory card...will it work then??? thank you for your time

 

I was given a used Action Replay dongle for free. You know, the black and green memory card transfer thingy that attaches to the usb port on your PC. I then went to my local videogame spot and purchased a used microsoft memory card. I didnt have the software for the action replay so I donwloaded it (I dont think I can link directly)from the website. Then I just followed the rules.

Hope this helps,

Hi,

I want to softmod my xbox. It's just a regular xbox (not modded), I've had it for a while now. I received it as a christmas present during the same year it was released so I'm guess it's an old build.
To softmod my xbox, I'm thinking of buying action replay. However, I do have some concerns over softmodding. I've read some threads on these forums with people saying softmod can 'zap' your xbox.

Knowing I have a regular old xbox, if I use action replay to install softmod will it work fine? If so, could you maybe recommend what to use/do to minimize the possibillity of my xbox being 'zapped'.

Thanks.

how come whe ever I do the SC mod it always freezes after i click on checkpoints.

 

Beats me? I just softmodded another xbox in lesx than 10 mins and everything went smoothly.

What game are you using? Splinter Cell? If so, try the other option. Also, make sure you have the correct files. Let us know what files and versions you have.

 

Does softmoding also remove the regional protection on games as well?

 

Just wondering If this will work on a 1.6(b)?

 

I have version Splinter cell: PH and im in ntsc using xbins 1 forgot name

 

k, how do i get this evox dashboard for my xbox? ive never known and im not to bright when it comes to computers =D

 

@pepsi2451

Yes. Softmods work on all versions.

@vanilaice

Which installer are you using, it may have UnleashX & EvoX as an option of install? If not, once your xbox has been modded, you can FTP the folder for EvoX over to your xbox "dashboard" folder. Probably located in the C or E drive.

 

i cant connect to flash fxp can u help me it keeps saying connection refused. my ip adress and everything are the same as my computers also

 

If by that statement you mean that the IP address on your xbox is the same IP on your computer...That is your problem. They need to be different. Your issue is conflicting IP's. Something should be telling you this in the bottom right of your screen. Either way, change your xbox's IP address to something other than what your PC is. As for the other settings, Gateway, DNS Servers, etc...they should be identical.

 

If i screw up and somthing happens to the modding menu how do i know i will get the old menu back because last time somthing happend and i could not get to any menu and all my xbox said was trying to connect to xbox live then it said it could not connect.
Thanks,

I was able to mod my xbox and it worked GREAT! However now I want to restore my xbox and I did use SoftMod Installer Deluxe. How do I use SoftMod Installer Deluxe with the DVD tray open to uninstall the mod and store my xbox?

Thanks--Tommigrl_7o2

 

how do you mod it???? Will soft modding let you burn games??????

 

@mx4life
You posted in a thread that talks about softmodding.................
Other than here, try Google or AfterDawn's search button to see what others have posted.

Nope. Not at all. But, with a modded xbox, you can play back-ups (burned games).

 

but then how do you burn games????? will a soft modded xbox play burned games???? I NEED HELP

 

About burning games, you need to transfer the game files to your computer, convert the files into an .ISO file, then burn it to a DVD disc.

Anyway, for some reason my xbox is no longer woking on my TV, it works on the two other TV's in my house, just not mine. I'm 99% sure it has something to do with the video settings, I'm just not sure what. All that happens on my TV is a black screen, as soon as I turn on the Xbox. It's really irritating me, and I need help.
