Posted: Thu Apr 13, 2006 4:49 am Post subject: Ready to softmod but have a few questions.
First off I want to say howdy to everyone here. I found this site a few days ago and can only say I like what I've read so far, as to the help that is here compared to anothe site I've been to.
This is what I have so far, also I probably won't go on x-box live but you never know.
x-box ver ?
Action replay
splinter cell
SID 4.0 N-Knave Edition Official Users Manual
stock HDD ( will upgrade later)
K: 1.00.3944.1
D: 1.00.5659.03
Questions:
1. How do you figure out the ver of the x-box? ( been searching for 2 days)
2. I have Halo 2 game, according to the manual if I load this game on the unmodded xbox it will update my MS dashboard. Is there a time limit to play before the update?
3. I live in the USA so my x-box is a NTSC version ( it was bought here)?
That's all for now. I plan on doing the mod this weekend. I am still rereading the manual and getting some info off of here before I try.
Thanks,

1)you can identify what xbox ver you have based on serial number with xbox identifier , or open up xbox and compare hardware wise.
2)you wont even tell when its updating your xbox dashboard so dont worry about this .
3)yes usa is ntsc .
now that you have the sc game ( non platinum right?) and your ar kit meaning the software disc for pc the mem card and the usb to mem card adapter. then download aid 3

He's right, it doesn't really matter... BUT... Just in case you wanted it for your Xbox info, this is a page that will tell you with pretty fair accuracy. (And you won't even have to open your Xbox):
gus738,
Thanks for the help. I am getting aid3 right now and will probably give this a go on saturday. I tried to d/l xbox identifier from your last post but it didn't seem to work.
oh a couple more things:
I have non platinum SC and will upgrade hdd after softmod.
will update dashboard too.

Here is an update:
The computer that I had the AR software installed on crashed so I haven't done this mod yet. As soon as I find my AR disc I will give it a go.
Thanks for the help so far

didn't know that.
I did find the disc and finally did this softmod. Thanks for the help, this is by far alot simpler than when a friend walked me thru a softmod over msn. He sent me all the files and told me what to do.
another question though:
reading the sid4.5 N-Knave manual chapter 9 virtual eeprom patching--should i do this? This softmod is my sister and she won't be going on live.
I did the single boot mod with evoulution dash.
Thanks again gus738 for posting at afterdawn or I never would found this place.

no problem man your welcome. naa virtual eeprom can be important but just dont install any programs that can unlock your hd or it makes your xbox a brick... of course theirs chips and this and that . but why would someone unlock it for no reason? before reseraching? i'v seen this alot of times .... so sid4.0 had eeprom patched .
btw: evo-x will get anoyning after time since you wont be able to do half the things like unleash x . like music playback it wont do it ..... i really love unleashx .... and aid 3 its a must disc too for your xbox needs. _________________ Xbox 360 Premium edition

I don't understand what kind of programs will unlock the hdd. Is there a list of these programs?
This mod is so my sister can play the backups. More than likely that is all so Evolution should do for her.
Thanks again gus738 and I am heading over to signup for VIP now.

Evox with fixed script.
ConfigMagic.
Some linux distro might?
The main idea of the virtual eeprom patch was to prevent from locking when modded, and trust me, there's ppl out there who doesn't understand the point of some of these apps, and they end up here, saying like:
I was using configmagic, and somehow my xbox doesn't work anymore.
well, SId 4 was meant to do this and get rid of it, and even on ver 4.5 it can, but it must be done manually since, the eeprom patching creates a conflict on some PAL xboxes. _________________ Xbox v1.1
