If its a question, its a question. If you have a question that in your opinion does seem like it would be in the forum(in this case probably not) then go ahead and ask away. You may get some flame for it, but you will get an answer eventually. Every community has there grumps, but theres always someone there to help. IE. Xecuter

why would you need two hdd's if your running linux? Besides the fact that the rootfs file may pretty much make your game saves limited but unless you are scared of going on live with same hdd as linux hdd....BWT gentoox is the greatest :D Learn how to set up a vnc client and you can go on your xbox from your pc and if you port forward port 5800 and maybe 5900, you can acces your xbox from any network.

Not just was that a dumb ass question, but it was almost the same dumb ass question I was gonna ask. I just got a little lazy and decided to get a X3CP-LCD-Thingy first. To save me converting two game ports to USB. :p
Here are the switch settings: http://www.teamxecuter.com/index.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=19111

I intend to use the X3 1959 on banks 1-2-3-4, Cromwell/Linux on 5-6-7-8,
And put Flash BIOS v3.03 on the 256k backup.
Would that be the safest way to go. :?:

Are the buttons on the X3CP, straight replacement for the dip switches. Or are they one for each bank. :?:

Help ME Please! Need to spoof Liteon as Liteon..

Basically I have 2 Liteons, one broken and the other perfect. I wanted to put the perfect one in the xbox that had the broken one but dont have the slightest idea of how to spoof it.. I have both keys and everything and am using jungle flasher. both liteons are on LT. Thanks in advance!

Re: Help ME Please! Need to spoof Liteon as Liteon..

just load up your dummy from your broken one and let JF autoload ixtreme

then flash to your good one (lite-on erase and whatever)

if you are flashing to a different lite-on revision, jungleflasher will put up a fight (warnings and such) but you can flash 7xxx firmware to an 8xxx and it will work fine, for example

Re: Help ME Please! Need to spoof Liteon as Liteon..

why don't you just swap the PCB (green boards) that would be a whole lot easier

a couple wires would need to soldered (for the eject motor) but that shouldn't be too hard.

but if you don't want to do that, you will need your dummy that you used to flash your drive originally from your xbox

if you don't have that dummy.bin and you have LT on that drive, you will need to MRA hack to extract your firmware

that is way more work and soldering than swapping the PCB boards

Re: Help ME Please! Need to spoof Liteon as Liteon..

id do that joe. swap out the pcb's, but it depends on the persons soldering skills. thats probably the easiest way to do it.

Re: Help ME Please! Need to spoof Liteon as Liteon..

you can, that's what i was trying to explain in my first post

just let JF autoselect ixtreme LT for the broken drive

then flash that firmware to the new one, regardless of the drive revision
