Hi all,
I have a v1.6 chipped xbox and evox dash. When I switch to the retail Kernel, and try to insert an original game into the drive, I get a meessage saying that it can't recoginize this desk. I actually just got it moded. and since it doesn't work. I can FTP games to it and play them. but originals just won't work.
Any ideas???

Hmmmm....that is a strange one. Have you spoke to your modder? He should have tested that before sending to you. Most modders offer 90 warranty on their work, so you should take advantage of his support and find out why you retail kernel isn't allowing you to play games.
When you launch, "retail kerenl" from your Xenium OS does it load the original MS Dash okay? Check your settings and see what region he has you set at. If you are using the retail game disk and not a backup I really can't think of any reason why it won't recognize disk.
Are you getting any errors that are listed on the screen? Not all 1.6 versions come with Samsungs, but your drive shouldn't dictate you running retail games from the retail kernel. Only what type of media you run when your modchip is activated. When you select retail kernel your modchip is deactivated so it will only recognzie Music CD's and Retail Game disks mostly.
I'm curious to how you can FTP games and play them under the retail kernel?? That doesn't sound right.
Keep me posted and give me a little more info and I should be able to square things away for you.

Ok. 2 things. I don't get an error other than the cd can't be recognized. Also, I didn't make myself clear, I actually play ftp'd games on the evox dash not the original.
Lastly, when looking through the xenium settings, and it's setup for no region, which region should I set up for???
