can not flash Aladdin advanced +

[sekim]

ok I have found out that the aladdin advanced may not be the best chip.

My goal for all this is to be able to backip original games, and be able to play them.

The aladdin chip works fine playing backed up games, but now I want to be able to make my own backups.

Things I have got:

*The correct cable.
*bios X2-4983.06
*XBtool (to resize the bios)
*From this link, I made the bios 256. As andy35 sujests.
copying-xbox-games.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1319&highlight=aladdin
*I downloaded dummy file Zip, and made a 100m dummy bin file.
*From team xecuter I followed the turorial on How To Create a FlashBIOS Compliant CD (turned off mult session and turned off joliet, put BIOS.BIN and DUMMY.BIN onto the disk, using disc at once)

I have burned this onto a
TDK DVD-R
TDK CD-RW
Sony CD-RW

Each time I start my xbox in the chipped mode (holding the power button for 2-3 seconds and the red xbox starts which is the chipped mode) place the cd in the tray, and then the *&(&)^ thing will not recognise the disk.
I must be doing something wrong.

I have downloaded dashboard 3935 and cloneXB to ftp games to my PC, but I take it that I need to flash a new bios to my xbox before I can put a dashboard on my xbox.


Any ideas?

hi,

If u are able to play backups on your set now, u are booting up to a modified bios already.

There's no need to flash the bios on the Aladdin chip to make backups. What u need to do 1st is to get a dashboard on your xbox set. The easy way is to download a copy of Slayer's autoinstaller 2.6. Burn the iso file into a CDRW. Boot up the Slayer disk and follow the download instructions to install Evox and apps into your set. Reboot your set.

If successful u will be able to see Evox dashboard booted up. Set up the network ip address on the Evox dashboard. (use DHCP if you have a router) There you have connectivity with your xbox set and completed the 1st step to making your own backups. Next step.

There are many ways to make a good backup. My method is to install DVD2XBOX on the Xbox and backup the original to the Xbox HDD. (This process will remove the signed XBEs ie patch the original ) Next copy the game backup folder from the Xbox HDD using FTP to the pc. On the Pc use the pc app SimpleX to create a iso image. You can then burn the iso into a DVD-R to use as a backup copy ;D

summary: Software needed

1. Slayer's Auto Installer 2.6
2. DVD2XBOX latest version
3. SimpleXISOv3
4. FlashFTP for the pc

Do a google search on the various s/w to get more details

Hope this helps
