Posted: Thu Mar 16, 2006 9:06 pm Post subject: ftp or patching boxplorer
New here,
I am trying to upgrade my xbox v 1.0 with a larger hdd 300 gigs.
This is an upgrade from a 200 gig that was done before.
Xenuim ice with 2.3.1 and using evox with a 67 bin.
I have been using boxplorer to rip to my hdd. no problems game run off it fine except Hulk, I saw that there is a patch to fix the error must run from disk.
I have wanted to use the g on the 200 but could not figuire out how to patch it. I tried to use an xbe patch program but did not have much info on how to get it to work.
anyway when I used the xodus os to upgrade from 200 to 300 it worked for 2 days to transfer 100 gig from f to f on the destination drive.
Now some of the games will not load or run. I started over and formatted the drive but did not transfer the F . I ftp'ed the files to my pc using c-xbox and then back this time I put Halo 2 on g just to see if it would work, but it froze.
I would still like to patch boxplorer but do not know how or with what program. or should I be using something else?
I backed up the 100 gigs on my pc and could just leave it on the 200 gig and use a dvd ripper that show g or complete the upgrade and try and figure out what I am doing wrong, I would also like to burn the games to dvd just for backup to free up the 100 gigs on my pc. any help would be welcome

UPDATE I got the g patch to work using PPF omatic.
The times before I could not get it to work.
Anyway, choose the default.xbe file in the boxplorer\xbox files folder to patch. then choose the boxplorer-g.ppf file and it should save as the default.xbe file. then ftp it to the xbox\folder that it runs from, and you should now see the g partion 7 in select drives screen.
Hope this helps someone.

I had the same problem with my games freezing also when I went from a 120 to 300.....easiest way for me to fix the problem was to simply re copy the games. I know you don't want to hear that but thats what stopped everything from freezing. That was just using the hdd upgrade wizard though...I didn't ftp to computer so I am not sure if that will work for you or not....good luck. _________________ Xbox V1.6

there is a way to transfer files quickly through FTP...i can transfer at about 65 to 80 mbps....all u have to do is set your ftp program to transfer 1 file at a time....i found out it was faster because when it was set to default which i think was about 10 files at a time it too almost 1 hour maybe more to transfer HALO 2 to my computer i changed the transfer to 1 at a time and i was able to transfer halo 2 to my comp at about 65 mbps per file which only took about 15 mins to send halo 2 to my comp. i'm also running evox. hope this helps

I am using cxbox to ftp and it takes about 11 minutes to download 4.5 gigs.
I did that to my g and it froze at the startup.
I will clean the cache and xyz to see if it helps, I was just wondering if you need to patch the files or is there a way to verify the data?
This just seam to be more time consuming then complicated.
thanks for the help i keep ya posted

if your going to clear your cache dont forget the E:/Cache folder, just delete the files in it not the folder itself, sorry gus I thought you posted in the wrong thread LOL _________________

xenium os has a clear cache function, I will just use that! what is this suppose to do or effect if you know?
I assume I just mirrored the hdd during he upgrade process and during the tranfer of F to F how were the games effected?
60% of the games worked, it was not isolated to a specific part of the disk area that I am aware of ?
keep ya posted

I think its just the chips cache, and my guess about the games is that some of them didnt get completley transferred if clearing the cache dont work. _________________

The cache was the issue as far as the games not starting or working so at this point all has been resolved!
Thank you
