LOL
sorry amiga i will have patience im just messing around, im so amazed that sppv and the xbmc4xbox communities are still so active, its been 12 years, not many tech things are still updated after 12 years, m$ ran for the hills after 5 years, i just removed the aerogel cap from my 1.0, i had to wash down the board too cos the acid was everywhere, so i have to wait for it to dry anyway, hopefully i got it in time before it really got in there, a few things are going slightly rusty from it but the acid looked like someone spilled soda in there, covering the lower left of the board about 5cm radius from the cap.
so far 3/4 boards have leaky caps and i have 2 more to check i sorted the 1.0 first, then onto the 1.2's (replacement i think, then relocated the 1.6 cap and check the last 2.
so i have a lot to do then ill make them all new installs, all the same softmods etc so its easy to maintain.

It really is remarkable that this community is still so active. I've never seen anything like it.

One day last summer I wondered if it was possible to mod an xbox console. When I google searched, I discovered it was! Then I spent months on end trying to find the game files. Since they're technically illegal to distribute because of end license user agreements with M$ SDK, many smaller sites that host the files seem to disappear.
Then I found out about SPPV's work, asked around for him and was told to go here. Then he helped me softmod and install a 320GB hdd.
I've been here ever since. Too bad more people don't know/care more about modding. It's fun! I'm trying out casemodding right now, then will move to LED mods and eventually the scary RAM/CPU solder mod.
Enjoy and feel free to poke around! I've learned a lot that way

He told me that he was doing a concert gig out of town around beginning of June. I think he'll be back the middle of the month

Not to worry guys Babylon is uploading. And yes SeriouslyCGI this sucker boots any way you want it. Its like the girl-friend experience of modding lol.
Burn it to DVD and use it like an AID disc. Extract and FTP or rip to F\Apps and it runs via HDD. Extract ISO and use included Babylon1.exe and it will create you an XBOXHDM disc or a USB intsaller. 256MB USB goes straight to HDD. 2GB and 4GB leaves bulk of files on USB so is very slow to install all the extras that way. Much better going via HDD, but those with a pussy 8GB HDD or a blown DVD dont have such an option.
As a teaser here is the failsafe/error sreen built into the Babylon1 PC Compiler. Dont think you can just lie and say you read the instructions because it checks for small file most would ignore without the instructions and tells you to GET THE f#&@ OUT and shuts down if it doesnt find them. Mltiple integrity checks have been built in. Afer every archive is extracted or directory copied it checks file integretity, before proceeding it checks for integral files. I tried to put in every security check short of a retinal scan and a piss/shit sample.
I also included a bullshit error, specifcaly to weed out those who sorry to say are just too retarded for modding lol Amiga kows what Im talking about lol
I also added a little tweak so Windows will treat this as a true Win32CMD app and not the Console app that it is so you can manualy adjust font and screen size if you have trouble reading it

SCARY lol. XS is jumping on the SPPV Bandwagon. It is no longer a fart at a tea party to mention an HQ mod app at XS lol. My work with many XS emu devs and cosistent quality instalers, and as Hobbs pointed out (damn you raining on m parade) lack of people with a brain to release, Babylon and all other SPPV intsallers are "good" works. They are sanctioned, approved and endorsed ad wil not resut in a "Ewwwww HQ, google it you d1ck dusting fag" respose
Also guys "Big" Prim just got outa prison 6 months ago, Satanic Slaughter House is back together after 9 year hiatus. My true love.......METAL.......Will RAIN SUPREME. All the guys have come west and we are hitting circuit again. So time is split like 20% XBOX, 20% Work, 60%METAL. Sorry guys but I love metal more than XBOX. And as lead singer, guitar, song writer, gig booker I have a ton on my plate

that is trippy, not what i was expecting, i actually really liked it, not in an ego boosting way but i actually thought it was good, it sounded like its was from a game or movie or something.
have you played brutal legend yet? my 6 yr old son loves that game, hes better than me at all games, he has more than double my points on 360 lol
i gotta say hes probably your biggest fan, with what youve done for the scene, only he doesnt know it, but he plays retro (although he doesnt spawn so he gets bored quick with 3 lives) and xbox games, hes got one in his room. playing shadow the hedgehog now. so a big thank you from him.
cant wait to try the new installer its just in time. removed leaky caps and re-doing softmods this week. the wife cant be without xbmc too, so i gotta keep that functioning.
cheers for the update sppv

This is more than just an installer SeriouslyCGI this sucker has a brand new compiled exploit as well. I went through NKPatcher11.04u and plugged every hole I could find and added some securiy features and made it more friendly to Shadow C Security.
By far Babylon is my best work to date. University of Michigan and my prof at Thompson Rivers University loved SID5.12 and my other work, but they gonna shit a brick over Babylon (SID5.12 featured topic on U of M IRC woo-hoo)

when you only see 4 members you kinda think the site is dead then you see 577 guests so many people dont log in, ill be interested to see the numbers on this download, this place feels kinda ghostly most days but then you see the guests and realize how many people are really watching. do you thnk you could put it up on mega and see how many downloads you get in one place? or do you have a plan for that already?
hopefully i can get past the eeprom question cos i want to chuck 6 eeprom folders in there, im getting my machines ready they are on the table as we speak and the kids are screaming wheres my xbox??
