I have to say Ian that I will be opening mine up for a TSOP flash (prob
before I take it to Germany at the weekend).

The software hack is going great but I am finding it a little limiting.

The time setting hack is a little flakey and turning on the time sync
within XBMP has lead to it only booting properly when it is plugged into
a network (once the clock needs set). As this xbox is destend to live
out its life in the car I need a little more permancy to the hack.

Did you sign the xdisk XBEs?

Thanks guys, and thanks also for the off-list replies.

Basically, I used (or rather Sean used for me ;) ) the Mechassault
savegame
exploit, rather than a modchip.

I grabbed a copy of the xDisk Mark posted a couple of days ago, and
burned
it to cdr, which didn't work: a quick forum scan and I saw that this was
pretty much expected. I reburned the image on DVD-R, and similarly, no
response: xbox wouldn't read it.

Using FXP, I copied the apps folder from the xdisk across to the E Drive
of
the xbox, and rebooted: all of the apps are visible in EvoX, but no
matter
what I launch, I get the green screen of death.

The Pheonix/EvoX bootloader hoses the built-in DVD player too, so I
edited
evox.ini to launch the old dashboard for DVDs, again, the original dash
also
causes a gsod.

I'm happy to have a bit of a poke around, but the current "touch
anything,
it crashes" response is a bit on the tricky side to work with ;)

Ian.
