I can save if i use the emulators (nes,snes, gameboy and so on) but any xbox game that I have on the harddrive I can not get to save. This just started about 2 days ago. If i try to save the game just freezes and have to turn the power off and on to restart, am not able to restart from the controler (both triggers,black, and back buttons). Have checked the settings and the in game reset is turned off in all three places. Any ideas? All help appreciated. Thanks.

Glad to give you the info if I knew it. I bought this from a guy that mods and sells them. I do know it has a executioner2 chip and I added a 200 gb maxtor 7200 rpm 8 mb cache harddrive. It is supposed to have the latest bios on it. Evox according to the settings menu is version +3921 and avanlanch is supposed to be the newest Evox is the main dashboard. Hope that this helps and is all i know, if you know another way just let me know and i will get you the info. Thanks

Boy, that is a tough one. From how you are explaining this, it sounds as if you were previously able to do game saves from games on your HD, how about games that you are playing via DVD Drive? Through hacked bios and MS bios. Try booting from the MS Bios and saving a game. See what happens.
Did you do anything in between time where saves were working versus not working?
You may just end up having to restore some things. Trouble shooting this one may end up being tedious. What program are you using to launch your game? Whatever the problem, this will be a good learning experience for us all.
If worse comes to worse, just restore the HD and load whatever you want on it and go from there.
Hang in there and keep us informed. _________________ Good Deals: Death@Hand, funkydopenloven, StaticMind, Slamscaper, PorscheXboxter

You are correct I was able to save before and still can if I run from disk. I have added some games. Hold on.
Hey Guys thanks for the help with it I got it going again, it was the game James Bond 007: Everything or nothing. I removed the new games i put on one by one and it started working after removeing it. I added the other ones back and still works. I just can not put it on my hdd I have to run from the disk. If anyone knows a way around this please let me know. Thanks again guys.

Could it possibly be the app you are using? What do you think forahobby?
Is it the app or the bios that is in charge of directing the save?
If it were my machine and nobody could give me a definitive answer, I would probably try upgrading the app that I was using. Do you have DVD2Xbox? I know wthat some people use that app to backup games to the HD, I use Pxx HD Loader, but also have DVD2XBOX. If I was using one of those and having problems, I would try the other and see if I still had issue. That's just my thinking though. I can't wait to hear the solution for this one.
Please, by all means keep us posted. BTW, I am glad you at least have an option to save while using the disk itself.

yes I have both programs Pxx HD Loader and DVD2 XBox and both are the latest versions. I have tried useing both and use DVD2Xbox mainly.
I think it is something in the james bond game as I did it with both and when trying to run from hdd it would freeze during boot. If I ran it from the disk it works fine. I had copied it to the harddrive but had not played it yet as I was trying to finish another game I was playing first.
Maybe I should have tried it and would have found this out earlier and not have to have bothered you gentlemen.
Thanks again for the help it is very much appreciated.

No bother whatsoever, and be careful who you're calling a gentleman..HA It's interesting you mention the 007 game that did this to you. Do you have mechassault? I have read other forum posts in regard to these games having the ability to do some pretty wild things to an xbox. I have mechassault backed up to HD, but have yet to play it.
We want you to be able to do saves from games on your HD. That's what having a modbox is all about. Hopefully, myself or someone else will come up with some more ideas for you. Hang in there. _________________ Good Deals: Death@Hand, funkydopenloven, StaticMind, Slamscaper, PorscheXboxter

I completed the game...finally. The problem I had the most is when you are in a little like jet pack instead of a mech. Man, that one gave me the shits...you got huge mechs after you and basically no armor..you're just this little dude that can fly really good. Can't harm the mechs at all... Once I figured where I had to go, it was easier, but for the life of me I could not figure out where I had to get going to.
Keep playing....you'll get through it. It's an awesome game. Not really liking the xbox live part. I mean, if you have a ton of people playing it's okay, but one on one sucks. Just gets boring after awhile. Now, if two mechs could team up against the A.I. like in regular game play. That would be cool. _________________ Good Deals: Death@Hand, funkydopenloven, StaticMind, Slamscaper, PorscheXboxter
