I've modded a few Xboxs with chips. I recently botch one up and decided to try the soft mod. It was way easier than I though it would be. I have a few questions though. how do I change the path of the default dash? I want it to load XBMC by default and I want XBMC to load to evox when I choose dashboard. Right now I just have XBMC renamed as evoxdash. The other question is, can I use a hard drive bigger than 137 gigs on the softmod? I'd know if it was a chip install but I'm new to the softmod.
Again, Great work!

Do you *need* to put the MSDash back onto the XBOX? I mean, it's a little confusing in the instructions you give in the tutorial post, as it says IF you want to. What happens if I don't? Where can I get AID? Also, for that matter, where can I get SID 2.0, mininova appears to be down or something. Please? Confused n00b here.

Also, do you need AID to install the softmod?

I am in love with this installer. It has worked great for me twice now (two diffrent boxes.) I have a problem, when I try to re access the expliot via MA I get only a black screen. So I am unable to access the restore MS dash or install a diffrent dash. if anyone has had this problem or has any ideas that would be to great thanks!

You can use Auto-Installer Deluxe to install other dashboards if you wish, which is a good idea since it has more dashboards than SID.
What version of SID are you runnning btw?
Thank you for the quick response!
I used the Auto Installer Deluxe 2.0 and instlled evox as my dash.
The biggest thing for me is that I was not able to access the AID menu again after installing the mod.
and sjohn where you talking to me about accessing the menu by turning the xbox on with the eject button, and leaving the tray out?

I unerstand that the fonts hack should work for all xbox versions, however is this the fonts hack that eliminates the clock loop problem?

I was wondering if there is any special way of installing new dashes using the auto installer deluxe. Also how do you do it manually? THanks!

install evox or UX. then load up the XBOX-HQ AID via dvd, cdrw, or ftp. And install hacked dashboards to the c drive that way. _________________ Blue Chaos

I transfered the files to my modded xbox but can not find the files to transfer them to mem. card. The tut. says to put the files in the e:\ drive which I did. Do I go to the ms dash which i did, if not where do I go.
Please someone help me out?

Well firstly have you extracted the AID iso? If not do so first, using XDFSExtract or one of the programs that come with it. Remove the giant dummy.iso....it'll just waste space if you're copying it to the HD. Then just copy the files in a folder to E:\Games\. Then just go to load games from the dash and it should be there. It's self explanatory from there on.
If I'm babbling and this has got nothing to do with your problem, please tell me!

I'm trying to use a USB memory stick to transfer the files to the xbox, but I'm not understanding how I can write to the memory stick from my computer. OzXmemory will write an image, but it can't write files, unless I'm missing something. So how can I get the SID 2 onto the memory stick? I run linux and windows xp, so a way with either OS would be appreciated.
On a side note, I got one of the "Geek Squad" sticks from Best Buy, since it was relatively cheap. ($30 for a 256mb) I'm not sure what brand they really are, since I doubt that Best Buy makes their own, but the Xbox picks it up and formats it with no problems.

I am using the Mech Assualt method on a V1.6(b i think, its brand new) with an action replay memory card. When i click the install linux under campaign the difficulty, controls and level are all correct but when i press A it just gives this really annoying buzzing sound and hangs. Do you think this is because of the game or the memory card? Thanks a bunch

I recently preformed a soft mod via SID 2; I backed up C using the 'create ms backup' option and then successfully installed the mod (great installer package by the way). However, I then attempted to create a backup of my modded system but accidently selected the 'create ms backup' option again: this of course overwrote the legitamate MS backup. (sorry for being such a noob). Could someone possibly give me a list of the filles that should be in the MS backup (or if there is an easier way, a description of it would be most appreciated). Thank you..
