i want to upgrade to evo but i was wondering do i have to sacrifice my xbox live privelages.

U can still have xbox live. Just use the xbox live patch, lock Ur HDD, and turn off Ur modchip. U also have to use an original game not a back-up because the modchip will be disabled.Do not try to use live with Ur modchip on!!! U will be banned

I use XBL with the following configuration with NO problems.


Xecuter 2.2 Pro wire install
Maxtor 250 GB 7200 RPM HDD (Locked using Evox)
Avalaunch, Evolution X, Unleash X dashboards boot from F:
All Emus/XBOX games running off F:



Ensure you leave the XBOX C: Partition unmodified(i.e. Multiregion dvd patch for xboxdash.xbe)
EMU gamesaves on E: are O.K.

With the modchip off boot to the XBOX Dashboard and be sure to reset your IP and DNS settings back to automatic if not already set.

Connect to XBL using an ORIGINAL game as Orochi said and enjoy.


I got brave and decided to risk it. I have been on daily enjoying content downloads and network play trouble free for about a week now.

Question for Orochi: What is the XBL patch? I did not require any patching.

If U used slayer' evox auto installer 2.0 not 2.5 there is an option to install xbox live "patch". which it just makes U able to launch MS Dashboard that has an xbox live tab without the chip being on. In slayer's 2.5 this option is not there, but when used it "patches" and makes the Ms Dashboard along with an xbox live tab without asking.Sorry, don't know if "xbox live patch" is an official term.

I am not familiar with the Slayer's install. Thanks for the update. Just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing out on something.



Bring on Ninja Gaiden!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well the patch is just adding the xbox live tab to the dash but was removed do to recent xbl updates (new one coming out in march).

mod is need to be off or else you get banned and get stuck with paying for a new eeprom.

i heard of a BIOS that you can play games from your HDD, with modchip on and everything, and not get banned from Live, it was on xbox scene a couple months ago

does anyone know what BIOS this is?

[Prican25]

no such bios i hate to say, xbox scans for hardware changes one of the main changes would be the bios

[Shibathedog]

hmmm, you would think there would be a way to get the Xbox to respond that it has all the original stuff in it...unless the Xbox Live service is throwing benchmarks at your system or something...
