Xbox fixes progress log (Not much left to do here...)

[Zorlon]

A Quick update post

I now have H to Z complete mostly, though there are a couple of fixes I will be going back to mostly Long File Name fixes that don't have a quick fix yet, so I need to look at these more closely to fix correctly and a small amount of 480p fixes I need to look at again as I failed to find the correct code change yet, just extracting and uploading games starting with G now

Will do these for a short time then I will move back to my Phantasy Star Online mod fixing

Z to H = complete testing with a couple of fixes I will be going back to
G = complete only 1 fix was needed
F = complete 5 fixes done
E = complete 2 fixes and 1 game I need to find another copy of
D = complete 5 fixes and moving on to C
C = complete 3 fixes (2x PAL only display games)
B = complete 2 fixes done 2 games being a pain to fix...
A = Sorting files ready....

Fixes needed that I will go back to
(At the moment I don't know if some of the game in the list following can be fixed or not, the PAL games may not be fixable to NTSC 480p)

World Series Baseball = Icon missing - Fixed but want better icon
True Crime: New York City = Long file name/s FIXED needs testing (I want to make sure my fix is correct)
Tony Hawk's Project 8 = Long File Name/s
Tony Hawk's American Wasteland = Long File Name/s
Sensible Soccer 2006 = PAL mode only, look at hacking display
S.C.A.R. - Squadra Corse Alfa Romeo = PAL mode only, look at hacking display
Rugby League = Long File name/s FIXED /Find 480p code/Missing Icon/Wrong ID code (I want a none cracked version to work on)
NFL Fever 2003 = Icon is the same as 2002 version so I might make a new icon for this one
NCAA College Basketball 2K3 = Icon Missing
Monster Garage = Long File Name/s
Manchester United Manager 2005 = PAL mode only, look at hacking display
LMA Manager 2003 to 2006 = PAL mode only, look at hacking display
Kung Fu Chaos = Find 480p code (so far I can get it to boot in 480p but the mode switches back to 480i)
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban = Long File Name/s FIXED needs testing
Club Football = PAL mode only
Club Football 2005 = PAL mode only
Bionicle (LEGO) = Find 480p fix (I'm failing on this one)
Backyard Wrestling 2 - There Goes the Neighborhood = find 480p Fix (I'm failing on this one aswell, I can get 480p but then the game will not fully start :/)



P.S. the above list is rather short compared to what I have got fixed so far, you can presume I fixed the other games that needed fixing from C to Z

[Zorlon]

Almost complete just got #, A & B to test then look back at the few I skipped, taken about a month and a half to get this far testing every english released game (actually I have a couple of games missing)

Included in what I skipped are

A few long file name fixes I left because it would of taken too much time to fix mid testing, either because there was tons of long file named files or because the default xbe do not look for the files so some other file must look for them so need to be looked at.

The odd 480p fix that has failed so far (I may be able to fix those I don't know but so far I have patched every other 480i only game just fine even a few that had been thought of as not doable), as well as a bunch of PAL only games that I don't think I will be able to enable 480p with

There are also 2 games I want better dumps of so far maybe more as those have hacked main xbe files

Finally there are still a couple of games with missing icons that I skipped because they don't have an icon in them at all or I could use a save icon instead but the image quality is low so will maybe dig out some art work for those games including the cover art and see if I can't make a few nice icons for the few games left with no icons (the internal icon are only 128x128 and I will stick to that for now)

I have a few others that need to be checked that are mostly File name fixes that should be done, but I need to double check those and make sure the hacking has been done correctly or I may need to redo those from scratch and manually find the correct file/code to edit to take into account of the file name changes (those are only for HDD users)...

There are also a couple of 480p mods I am failing at so far, one game is just not getting past the first screen in 480p another switches back to 480i and there is one I can't get to display 480p at all even though I get found 3 versions of the 480i code and changed it to auto select between 480i and 480p :/ but I will take another look at those.

There are a few PAL only games but I can't see me having any breakthrough with those but I am going to have a second look though anyway (the games in question have no 60Hz support at all not even PAL 60 (480i @60Hz) only PAL (576i @50Hz))

Uploaded all my current complete fixes that was a pain in the bum to do but not as bad as creating the fixes to start with

I still have a few more to try and make I will have a very slow play of the Harry Potter game that has a few file name issue files, this is a game that has never been fixed but I have an idea how to but I need to get to a point that I can test my theory out

[seznam88]

Hi Zorlon, are you already fix these games ? If not can you fix them ?

Furious Karting [NTSC|U]
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban [NTSC|U]
Monster Garage [NTSC|U]
Tony Hawk's American Wasteland [NTSC|U]
Tony Hawk's Project 8 [NTSC|U]
True Crime: New York City [NTSC|U]

And also if you still missing game Dance: UK [PAL|E]
I can upload it for you.
Thank you for answer

[Zorlon]

Got DanceUK I made a fix for it also for 480p, though seems I never did post that one

Furious Karting [NTSC|U] I found no issues with the two files missing I also did not find any other reference to those files in the main xbe so could not do any testing to find any issues, same for the Monster Garage game I only played those partly though when looking for actual issues but if you hgave a save where there are issues let me know then I can re-establish testing with those two games

Harry Potter I found too dull to find where it had issues so if you have a save close to a point that it breaks let me know then I can test my work, I did have a WIP fix though may need to restart that one but I am sure I had that fixed so would not take much to do again

Tony Hawk games I never did fix done a lot of testing with 8 though and failed to find an issue even after I made what looked like a fix I never did find anything that actually used the skin that had a file name that can't be used via the xbox hdd

True Crime: New York City I have marked down as fixed but needs testing and is already posted

[seznam88]

Thank you for info
About that True Crime: New York City, is that Fix safe ?
You already posted it but you said that it needs testing so I don´t know if it´s safe to play with it without problems yet.

Safe? it is not going to break the xbox or anything but I never tested it fully another words I never played the game start to end, I just hacked the xbe to match the renamed files

If you really just want to play the game without being someone that tests it then just use http://www.epforums.org/showthread.php?90101

Interesting software I´m gonna give it a try.
