@ solja
use this tutorial http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/213943 and ftp the emulators to your e drive, make a new folder named emulators to put it in

@ Narayan
did you lock it with your eeprom.bin or did you type in the numbers and letters and whatever to lock it? if you typed it in you probrably made a mistake and your hd is dead.

 

i locked it with a password(my password) dont know why, but the hd is not dead i can see whats in it i just cant acces it even if i put the same pass
help

 

Im gonna do this so i can finally install the kiltrocity mappack!

 

well what i ment by dead was you made a mistake when typing in the password and now you dont know what password you put in so it is basically dead.

 

sorry, but its there a way to bypass the password whatever it might be!
maybe put a new one or get the one i put in?

 

no i dont think you can do that, you will have to get a new hard drive, and next time lock it with an xboxhdm iso of your eeprom.bin

 

i have a few problems...
1. ive tried to copy the files for the splinter cell and all it does is turn the screen black. doesnt do nething else, ive let it sit for at least 10 minutes and nothing happens.
2. on mech assult i tried to copy the files over and i go into campaign and click run linux and all it does is go to a screen with green letters and the ring on the xbox turns red ( like the ring of death in guessing) and it just freezes....

----please help me out, i would appreciate it very much------

 

does anyone know if you can transfer the save files from a psp to an xbox?... i cant get an action replay, there all sold out in the stores... so can you?

 

You can transfer the files, but they won't work!

 

so generally you NEED the action replay to transfer the game saves?
theres no other way?

 

would it work with an action replay Max?

 

Hang on, let me set the scene...

You have been playing a game on the PSP which is also available on the Xbox.

You now want to use the savegame files from your PSP version and load them onto an Xbox in order to continue on the Xbox...

Am I in the ballpark now...

I don't think you can do that!

 

i wasnt talking about the save files of A psp... im talking about the ones to softmod the xbox... transfer the files from the computer to the psp then from the psp to the xbox via the usb adapter...
