hi all
i got me self an x box last christmas and are hell of a pleased with it
i want to connect it to my computer and download saved games and put them on the x box hard drive. it says on www.xbox-saves.com you need evo x to transfer games over to the harddrive but i like the dashboard thats on it now.
can you transfer the games over to the x box with the normal dashboard or do you need evo x. if you only can do it with evo x is it worth having on there?
cheerz all :flame:

evox can be installed alongside the original dash, in fact there's an evox menu option to return to the m$ dash anyway.

If you want to tranfer files to the xbox you have no option than to use an alternative dash anyway(unless you have m$ sdk installed on your pc;) )

Also, you should be able to manually FTP it, and upload the game save manually. You don't *have* to use their tool to upload the save, I've done it manually a number of times, and it's worked fine for me.

Ebay, for Evox?

Lol, it's a free download, and very small at that. Not sure why you'd direct him to ebay.

First of all m8 you need a mod chip to run evox, get the latest version here http://www.biteable.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ also no need to replace ur ms dashboard if u dont want to u can just run evox thru a cd/dvd, read my xbox backup tutorial to give u an idea.

1. dunno

2. yes, you can use the original dvd player with the remote, or dvdx with the controller.

3. no, you can boot evox just fine from a disc.

I've not used xiso, only isomaker.

I'm sure I used nero to burn it.

It's best if you use a cdrw, cdrs generally don't work.

Yes cdrs r no good unless ur 1 of the lucky guyz that own a samsung dvd drive try using dvdrw, it might not boot the first time so just keep trying if it doesnt then u defenetly need a dvd burner.
Also dont use xiso or any iso maker, trust me! use record now max read my backup tutorial so that u can see the settings.
here's a thread on xbox-scene forums saying y u shouldnt use xiso here (http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?act=ST&f=11&t=34283&s=3a9d35e8125810a4ce8a50072c7eb897)

So does record now max actually create an xbox iso if it's given just a directory?? (like iso maker does)..

what's so bad about iso maker?? the few times I've used it it's been fine..

Read my backup totorial m8, u'll c how u can link ur msdashboard so u can launch it from evox all u have to do is rename it to msxboxdash,xbe n name evox's default.xbe to xboxdash.xbe n place it on the xbox c drive along will all evox files wich r skins directory bios directory and evox.ini, i'm pretty much sure that a firewall doesnt preven u from connecting to evox! u cant use same ip for both pc n xbox as i said play around with it, also how exactly r u trying to connect to ur xbox? hub, crossover?

SNICK!

06-19-2003, 06:40 AM

i am connecting directly from a intel 21140-based pci fast ethernet adapter (generic) card in the pc strait to the x box
i will play about with it and figure it out.

would buying a hub or a router be any use cause i might want to connect it to another pc aswell

also do you need a crossover ethernet cable to connect it directly from the pc to the box

sorry for being a pain in the arse

I boot from c partition.

the original ms dash is still named xboshdash.xbe.

evox is named evoxdash.xbe

Chip switched off boots original dash, chip on boots evox.

live works fine with this config.:)

oh! true m8 heard that some where else! :) ur right! samething though! question! how exactly do u do it? do u have to configure evox.ini? is it the bios? i'm using X2 4976.02 about to upgrade to X2 4977 from this site http://www.biteable.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/

doughboy

06-22-2003, 09:18 PM

ini file is pretty much untouched.

I've got 4976.02 in banks 1&2 and 4977 in banks 3&4.

the bios looks first for a file called evoxdash, if I can't find that it'll look for nexgen(I think), if it can't find either of those it boots the original dash.
