Crash Twinsanity incompatibility

[et00l]

Ok here is the deal. I have X3 with 3108 bios. A 1.6b Xbox with an orignal Samsung DVD-ROM and a Western Digital 320 GB hard drive. When I had my 200 GB HD Crash Twinsanity worked fine from my hard drive or a backup multi-game disc. Now that I have upgraded to the new hd this game will not work. I have the hard drive locked and tried disabling my x3 and the original disc still locks up loading the retail bios. This game is my 3 yr old sons favorite game so I really want to figure this out. I have formated the C:\ and E:\ drives and put the MSDash back on the C:\drive. I have cleared all the cache drives in the X3 bios menu and manually via ftp. Any ideas on what the problem could be? I am also using componet cables and HDTV but it worked fine on that before and I also tried using the standard A/V cables with no luck. I can't think of anything else to try.

Well I put in a fresh 80 gig hard drive and set it up and tried to boot the game and no luck. It will not boot original or backup copy. I have tried evox and xecuter bios on this and the only thing left to assume that it is a problem with the new 1.6b motherboard.

Have to tried searching for a game patch? I've had to do that for one of mine in the past...

The original disc locks up the same when the chip is disabled.

One thing to add to this problem is that I have disable reboot on eject enabled and when the game locks up at the dash loading screen the 4 button reset does nothing, but if I eject the disc the xbox reboots as if I don't have that setting enabled in the bios.

I swapped my hard drive into another Xbox that is a 1.6 and Crash Twinsanity does load. It is also running Xecuter 3 and 3108 bios. The only difference is one xbox has 1.6b which the game does not load from and the other is a 1.6 which loads the game fine so obviously it is not a corrupt save or cache problem. It has to be a 1.6b problem.
