new freeboot released runs unsigned xex's!!

Heres a good idea, in next update the ping limit should be removed from system link. So then you can use xbox link and stuff like that.

Plus one to this idea. However, pinglimit can be stored in games, not in nand.

Games that are able to be edited now and be booted either way, so it's possible. But seriously, authentic XBL is better than any free solution, so just pay for XBL.

why would you pay for xboxlive if you plan going online with a homebrew console running unsigned XEX..instant ban..

MS were smart and wouldn't let us play system link on worldwide web

i'm hoping we'll be able to use system link worldwide again sometime soon so i don't need to pay ridiculous price for a silly p2p service with some content hosted on it (the Halo 2 multiplayer games we're good enough quality for me on Xboxconnect)

we should as a community create our own homebrew xboxlive, where you can download MAME360 through the XBR dash that'd be wicked

Geting christmas lights, dont know why.

i have a falcon, cygnos v2 and uses the smc from toolbox generated from my 7371.

i made everythink you can read in the readme. xmas lights when booting into dashboard, xmas when booting into xell.
tried with firmware 1.02 and 1.01 same problem. tried also with original smc.bin, same problem.

flasing back to freeboot0.01 everythink works fine. can somebody tell me why?

[Icekiller]

how are you doing it?

if your doing it liek it says in the readme it works...

does the toolbox actually show the !SWITCH command..?

is there a way to update with this latest release from XeLL or gentoo live?
I really don't want to be taking my box apart and resoldering the cable every time a new release hits

cygnos


mastag
no no elfs..
if your using freeboot poweron with dvd tray eject or use the mame emu for now..

I'm running the XBR thing on one of my old xenon boxes, respect to those who put in their free time creating it.

Since it doesn't come with a readme I've a few questions.

1.I own lots of original games.
Let's say I load up the 0800 firmware on one of my old sammy's I can then extract al the game files from them right?
Just put those game files into a folder with the patched default.xex in the root and transfer the folder onto a fat32 formatted usb-drive will work?

2. Also with the drive-limit removed can I only swap with 16/160/250GB? or also bigger than what MS sells?

3. Is it also possible to launch libxenon elf files from the dashboard? I would love to run snes9x since I'm addicted to super mario world (and the original dash has better wireless controller support compared to XeLL).

I does everythink the readme tells me. toolbox dont show switch command and i get xmas lights!

help.

/edit: dont know why but the new firmware dont work for me. tried again to generate a hack.bin with the original smc.bin and saw that the time before i tried the old one i used the patched one. with the old one it works!
but if i do like readme tells me i doesnt work (even if i use the new firmware or the old doesnt matter).

1) no. USB drive doesn't work at all.
2) any size should work, I used 160 gig successfully.
3) I doubt it.

[jhonnyp0lak]

Guys,

1 more bit of useful info i'll add is that i was following the instructions to get XBR on my xenon nand and i was getting christmas lights, until i noticed i was using version 2.0 of nandpro rather than 2.0b .

As soon as i used nandpro 2.0b everything worked like a charm

[MastaG]

1) no. USB drive doesn't work at all.

3) I doubt it.

Thanks bro,

I'll be getting a hdd transfer cable then.
Btw, 160GB is also available as a offical HDD right? So far I haven't seen anyone around with something bigger than 250GB.

No, official drives were 20, 60, 120 and now 250 GB

freeboot works with 320GB tested..
so i'm sure 160gb wil lwork too no need for SS.Bin just format with the xbox itself.

Dankjewel Gangster,

So if you use a non-standard drive like your 320GB how do you transfer stuff onto it?
I believe most of the tools for the transfer cable require the SS.bin which is only available for 20,60,120 and 250 right?

[benjmole1]

I wonder what would happen if we were to patch the .xex from a dev recovery cd, and run it.

Hmmm.

until they make a new software to support all kinds of drives it sound like you need a memory card and alot of time

You'd kill your console, for one.
Different efuse settings, and larger NAND.

how many times was this question answered?

Look back in this thread

[wickwack]

i saw some peeps asking for something like this a few pages... copied my post from xbox-scene

ok so i couldnt wait and i had to do it today... was pretty scary but it worked... so im ready to share my first small contribution to the scene... in form of a quick guide to install XBReboot v0.05 on your jtaged Xenon console from Gentoo Live CD running on your console... First NandPro steps are on winxp tho... (hurray for tetraboot PC)

1. Download and use Nand Pro B (i used this and i would risk saying it is a MUST)

2. Read kv from yout original nand backup: NandPro.exe ihada7371dash.bin: -r16 kv.bin 1 1
(i also had r6t3 removed after upgrading to 7371)

3. Inject kv into XBReboot: NandPro.exe xbrebooter.bin: -w16 kv.bin 1 1

4. Download latest Xell...

xell official release -> http://www.xboxhacker.net/index.php?topic=12373.0

i used redlines-> http://www.xboxhacker.net/index.php?topic=12513.0

5. Inject latest xell into XBReboot: NandPro.exe xbrebooter.bin: +W16 xell.bin 30

---- then we load up Gentoo on 360

6. You will need the xbreebooter.bin you have just created/modified in the steps above... and lflash.c from 360 repo by tmbinc

7. Start up gentoo on you xbox and get admin priviledges

8. Compile lflash (open terminal go to lflash directory and type gcc lflash.c)

9. That will output an a.out file (had a bit of trouble here)

10. Give the file execute bit: in same terminal window type: chmod +x a.out

11. Type in terminal: ./a.out

12. This will output the programs instructions... something like ./a.out readfile newfile where readfile will be whatever it reads from the 360 nand, and newfile will be what will be flashed... so it should look like:

/a.out nandbackup.bin xbrebooter.bin(the file u created, i had this in same directory as lflash.c and a.out)

it should double check some things and should work... it threw out some errors (logical block not found or such... about 10-15 of them... but it still worked) the lflash read me says not to flash 16.8 meg files blablabla... i personally didnt have any badblocks on my original nand backups and i had read some other having success flashing full 16 meg files so i went for it... now if you did have bad blocks then im not sure if you should go ahead and do this... please more knowledgeable users help me out here

anyways i rebooted my 360 and went straight into the new dashboard, was able to play a game with iextreme firmware from a while back (havent read up on drive firmwares yet but i think if this hack indeed has ability to run unsigned xex then firmware hacks might be obsolete now... anyways just thinking out loud)

turned of xbox then plugged controller on the back usb slot, powered on with Xbox button and went straight into xell, and was able to boot into linux and play emulators the old way...

I am quite a linux noob so i tried to make this mini guide linux noob friendly... glad to be able to help at least some of you out there...

can someone tell me where the media update is stored?
