The drivers are stored in the Drivers directory. There should be two files in this directory: xbreader. Copy these to another directory before you edit them. Right click on xbreader. Alter the driver configuration file to refer to your USB flash memory device. Replace the default driver for your USB flash memory device with the driver that you just created. You need to convince Windows that the driver you're selecting is better than the one that it has automatically installed even though it's not digitally signed.
MaxDrive Xbox is the name of the driver you're trying to install. This allows you to copy Xbox saves to it using the Action Replay application. Don't bother looking in the Start menu: it should be in the parent directory to the one you're currently looking at You are following The Guide to the letter, are you not? If the replacement driver worked, you should see the word Memcard in the left pane. This represents your new 'Xbox memory device'. We need to format the USB flash memory device with the Xbox filesystem.
Right click on the word Memcard and select Format from the popup menu. During all file operations in the Action Replay application the green Memory Card capsule above the left pane acts as a progress bar. It will slowly change colour as the current operation completes. If you don't format it to the Xbox file system, any attempt to write the softmod will be met with a error telling you there isn't enough space on the memory unit. The softmod files are contained in the archive Softmod.
Extract it to a directory on your PC. Within the archive, there is a directory called SID 4. It contains the following five files: SID Each of these. In the next step, you need to copy SID To copy the files to the USB flash memory device, drag the.
As each file is added to the USB flash memory device, a short title should appear below the word Memcard. The aim of this stage is to have both the SID 4.
It should work in any controller port. Make sure to leave at least one controller plugged in. It's best to have an Xbox controller plugged into port 1 throughout the modding process. There's no guarantee that any unofficial software will allow you to control it from another port. If your USB flash memory device is working correctly with your cable, it should appear as a single Xbox memory device in a non-existent controller in the port you plugged the cable in.
If this doesn't happen, your USB flash memory device isn't compatible with the Xbox. Copy these items to the Xbox hard drive one at a time. To copy an item, move the cursor onto the small icon to the right of the large icon, press A, then select Copy, then select Xbox hard drive.
The aim of this stage is restore the USB flash memory device and drivers to how they were before they were used as a modding tool. Skip this step if you would like your USB flash memory device to remain as a modding tool. You can also use it to copy cheat saves from the Action Replay application on the PC to the Xbox hard drive. Format it as you wish. The aim of this stage is to cause the Xbox to load the SID 4. Different games have a different triggering method that I'm not familiar with.
You will have to look these up. If you've followed the instructions up to this point, you should see the screen above. If so, congratulations. You've done the hard bit. The rest is very, very simple.
This menu is the SID softmod menu. It is used to install and uninstall the softmod unto the Xbox. As long as both the special game content items are still on your hard drive, you can always return here to manage the softmod. I recommend you do not delete them after your modding is complete. The next stage will install the softmod. There is a small chance that following the next stage may irreparably damage your Xbox.
It has never happened to me, nor to anybody I have personally instructed to use this method. You are reminded that you follow these instructions at your own risk. A series of progress bars will be displayed while the copying is in progress. Knave's Ndure is what I use. It sets up the following functions: If you turn on the Xbox by pressing the Power button the lower of the two , the Xbox will boot softmodded.
If you turn on the Xbox by pressing the Eject button , it will load the Xbox Live menu. If you have booted to the Xbox Live menu, you can play on Live without being banned. I haven't tried playing online myself. Who knows what might actually happen if you try it. UnleashX and EvolutionX are dashboards : replacement menus for the Xbox. UnleashX is a lot simpler to use than EvolutionX and is the dash I will be using.
The softmod installer has just checked that you can install the softmod safely. You must have let it take backups for it to allow you to continue. You have successfully modded your Xbox. You can now run backups, copy over emulators, the whole shebang. This isn't where this guide ends, however. I won't leave you twisting in the wind. Select Restart Network to cause the Xbox to renegotiate its position on your network.
The aim of this stage is to have a completed Xbox mod running XBMC, ready to play movies, music and games. These are also general instructions for setting any Xbox application as the default dash. Don't put something as the default dash if you can't administer files from it! You can't use FTP while you're playing a game. The C: drive is a reserved drive for the Xbox internal files.
If you haphazardly alter the C: drive your Xbox may not boot and instead report 'Error 21'. The E: drive is the place where you should be manipulating files. The Xbox uses it to store savegames and other content, and you can use it also to store applications, games and any other files you choose. You can run an. All Xbox applications, emulators and games you will come across will be an.
It is currently the UnleashX dashboard we installed during the softmod. It would be EvolutionX, had we chosen it during the installation. However, we want to install XBMC as the new default dashboard, we have to deal with this evoxdash. Extract all the files within to a directory on your PC hard drive. Locate the XBMC directory , it should have a number of directories and default. You shouldn't delete the UnleashX executable: it's incredibly useful. It has a number of specialist features that XBMC doesn't.
It has greater compatibility with some. Bear in mind that you now have NO evoxdash. You should not leave your Xbox in this state and accidentally restart. If you've followed the instructions up to this point, you should see XBMC boot up Let's switch to it. Keep going until you find MC and select it. Drive C: is the main Xbox drive: the 'brain'. It contains the some of the files that allow the Xbox to boot up correctly.
No savegames or soundtracks will be or should ever be stored here. You should never attempt to modify the files on your C: drive manually unless you are absolutely sure you know what you are doing. The Softmod Installer Deluxe menu can automatically apply all necessary changes to the C: drive during the softmod installation or uninstallation.
Drive E: is the 'user' drive. The Xbox uses this drive to store your Xbox savegames and soundtracks. In addition to this, you can use the E: drive to store any additional games, applications or media as you see fit. However, you are not advised to tamper with the existing directory structure that you are presented with after the softmod is installed. Removing directories that the Xbox relies on for saving game data may result in games refusing to save or unpredictable data loss.
Drives X:, Y: and Z: are cache drives. These should not be relied on for permanent storage. From time to time, you may be advised to 'clear the Xbox cache'. To do this you delete all files within the X:, Y: and Z: drives.
Xbox applications are distributed in one or both of the following forms: the 'source' distribution or the 'binary' distribution. In almost all cases, you will want to download the 'binary' distribution. The 'binary' distribution contains all the files needed to run an application on the Xbox, whereas the 'source' distribution contains the source code files and project intermediates necessary to create the 'binary' using the Microsoft Xbox Development Kit software: you cannot copy the files within the 'source' distribution to your Xbox and expect them to run.
Within a 'binary' distribution archive, you will find the application. You can copy an application to any safe drive on the Xbox at any location you choose, your only obligation is to ensure that the directory structure relative to the. For example:. Boot the Game now hit start to skip past the opening.
Go to the Start Game Screen, and select the "Linux" profile. You will now only have a few simple steps to follow. First, in case something like a power outage or other Act of Randomness inturrupts the install, select "Back up C Drive" first off! Confirm by selecting Yes after you start the backup process, and this will only take maybe a minute it's all being done on the hard drive now so it's a LOT faster!
When that is completed, select "Install Softmod". This will load into a different screen where you will see a scroll down menu.
Then back it up to the E Drive. This will take a second. Then select "Install Softmod". Then select "Restart XBox". Just restart the XBox now and enjoy the payoff! Now i do not recommend playing movies off of the USB as it is only 1.
Network or DVD Drive is recommended that may be in another tutorial. Question 1 year ago on Step 1. Hi, I have a controller connection to usb cable, should this work for the usb formatting?
Many Thanks. All you have to do is install DriveDroid on your phone, copy the files to your phone memory and loaded it into DriveDroid. On your xbox copy the files from the "memory card" to the HDD of the xbox. Load SplinterCell. NTSC and load the linux save file.
Bsod does not come up. It takes me to a black screen saying contact microsoft with green words Reply 4 years ago. Just thought I'd add a comment as I softmodded my original xbox last night and used this guide as a basis. Obviously things have changed a little since it was posted but overall this was a good guide. Firstly, I struggled to find a flash drive that would be recognised by the Xbox.
You will be taken back to the NKPatcher Settings when complete. This allows the creation of new hard drive's or fixing your current hard drive a doddle as you will be able to lock these drives with a 32 1s key. What this mode does is puts the Xbox into a controlled error 16 state.
Don't be alarmed!. In this mode every game is loaded under the softmod, what this means is IGR on all retail original games and never needing worry about losing your softmod again, though with my softmod that's a moot point. Disable: This option will allow you to disable the persistent softmod mode. In this mode your xbox will work like any other softmod out there, retail original games will bypass the softmod.
This will change ingame languages for PAL releases. Where F takes upto GB and G takes the remaining space of the drive. XBPartitioner: This option is a placebo option, all above options will allow the partition table, I just added this for simplistic reasons.
This isn't really needed but if there are boot issues this can fix the issue. Restore Generic Font: This option will restore the generic font to the Xbox. This font works on all Xbox kernel versions and is the default font used. LED colour Self explanatory. Video modes Default: This is the default mode, supports all video mode. Force Progressive: This option will force p video mode even if your game doest support it. Note: This will make the image distorted in PAL video mode.
Note: This requires a compatible monitor that support sync on green, also it may not work on v1. Update Xbox Softmodding Tool This is used to update to a newer version of the softmod. Your dashboards are not touched, I only update the backend. Upgrade Old Softmods Used to upgrade from any other softmod to mine, or install a clean softmod. Advanced Apps Chimp ConfigMagic v1. NET is required to build some of the tools. Acknowledgments: I would like to thank the following, without there contributions to the Xbox scene we would not have what we have today.
