Hi!

I'm just a newbie in the xbox-scene. I'm from germany and so i'm sorry 4 my bad or perhaps not so bad english.

Well, my Xbox:

I have the old one of xbox, the first german edition, not the newer christmas edition. I have a well working modchip on my xbox, a Final-Chip it's called. All my Xbox-Backup-Games work perfect! I burned them on CD-Rw's.

Well, I want 2 backup a game on my xbox harddisk. The game ist burnout 2 but it's was a dvd an now it's on my pc. 2x950mb i can't burn them on a cd-rw an I have no dvd-burner but I want 2 play the game. I downloaded all the xbox toolz and the new evox.
A HDD-Tool an so on. How can I copy the game to my xbox from my pc? Do I need to flash my xbox bios? If i have to do it, have I to mod my mainboard???? I think my mod-chip has already modded my xbox. How can I copy the game to the hdd? I have got a router, all needable cables, a ftp-app and a hdd-game-launcher! I read that I have to connect my Xbox with my Pc? But have I to install the new dashboard?? And where should I place the game? simply on C:\ ? And how to launch the game later ?

Plz Help Me!
THX 4 all answers!

Greetingz from a german xbox f4n! ;)

Update: I also have the patch for burnout 2 ! so I hope it works without flashing my bios!

I'm not 100% sure but I think this is covered on the stickys. If not, don't be afraid to use the forum search button because you aren't the first(or last) to ask this.

P.S. Your english isn't that bad. I think it's better than some of the Americans that try to post here.

Thx!

But what should I search for? What should I enter in the search field?

After unpacking the iso , where to copy it on the hdd? Can I create a new folder? After that simply start with evox? I think so :p

I just wrote a little tutorial on the basics of burning to a hd, it's called how to back up a game to XBox h/d check it out.

Also the best place that has every tutorial you will ever want to read go to LINKWORLD on the top of the fileforums then choose XBox and then go to XBox scene trust me everything is there!!

Thx!

Do I need the Evo-X Boot CD for all these processes ? If yes, where can I get it???? Or is it includes the evo-x pack evolutionxv1_8_458??

dude
26-06-2003, 09:35
yes you do need evolution x loaded on to you'r xbox as for v 1.8.458 that was the first beta version released you should get a newer version. the newest version is 1.8.3752

as for where to get it. please read the rules this was built with the stolen xdk and is henceforth illegal so we can not supply links etc you will have to use the search button for that one.

so one more question :( ! do I need a new bios????

I downloaded 1.8.3752 yet. On the page I saw some bios

Evox D6 Blue

Evox D6 Red

X2 4977 .......

Do I need one of these??? I prefer not to flash my bios. Can't I
keep my curently working bios???

The current bios not the coloured have media checks in them that circumvent the media check in the game that allows you to play off the hard drive. Depending on the version of chip you have you can either flash your chip through evox or you might not be able to flash it at all.

There are programs like isocraxation that will also fix the media check instead of the BIOS

dude
26-06-2003, 10:15
you can flash the bios if you want but you don't need to. most people only flash the bios
to get extra fetures such as the media check bypass. to be honnest on my main system i am still using the original bios.

ok , i keep my currend bios!

I have burned the new evo-x , my xbox is able to read the cd. I can see the new dashboard-menue with REBOOT POWEROFF BACKUP ... . But how can I launch a game??? With Evo-X or do I need Px-HDD Loader or else??? I'm going to transfer my game fron the pc to the hdd of my xbox, is that right or have I to do something before? When my game is on the hdd , how to launch it :confused: :confused: :confused: ?

Please reply


Thx!!!!

lol dude, Im curious. Do you have all your xbox's in the same house/home or split up. And if they are, are they all on the same TV, or are they split up on different tv sets?

I just never met anyone with 5 xbox's lol.

dude
27-06-2003, 09:05
they are all in my room it's kinda like my techno room.
i have 4 x24" wide screen tv's hooked up each to a xbox for multi player ( you would love my halo death parties). my main syatem is hooked to a 20" tv next to my 2 pc's. you name it i got it in there. radio scanners / phone unlock kits etc. i'm in to any thing that either plugs in or runs on batteries. lol

Sounds like you need to get out more!! :p So when can we come over for a big LAN death match?

dude
27-06-2003, 09:22
well between work ( 86 houres a week) and every thing else most of my spare time goes to my pc's and my xbox's.
as for the lan parties i'm in the north east uk i have well over 120 games but mainley play halo on lan with my brothers and dad, it's better to have a tv to you'r self rather than just split screen. makes the game more interesting.

i used to have the lan networked between 2 rooms with 2 tv's in each but as brothers do they knackered both of the xbox's i gave them. so i confiscated them. i am going to give them back when i feel like it ) lol

the reason i have so many xbox's is not because i'm a anorack it's just that i have some very stupid friends who got bored with theirs ( how in the hell can you get bored with a xbox ?) and sold them for stupid prices and by stupid were talking £90-£100. so rather than let them go to waste i bought them for spares at first but i could not bear the thought of killing one xbox to fix another so i kept all of them.

I'm jealous. I've got stupid friends and all they've ever given me is headaches because of their stupidity - not Xboxes!! :D


PS You work too hard then!!
