Unreleased Xbox game, from EA?

So considering that fact that I am a complete noob xbox-wise, how do you get that proto running?

The easiest I guess would be to get a debug console. How do you get that running on a retail model then? Any tutorials suggested?

 

OMG WOW MAN. YOU ARE TEH AWSOME! You just made my day man I love the xbox NFS games and now that my favorite console of all time is dead its nice to have a new title to look at. Thanks again mate, and if theres ever anything I can do to help you out just let me know~

 

there are programs that can convert debug xbe files for use on a modded box, but im unsure if this would work correctly due to memory restraints on stock xbox's

ive tried it on both my debug, and a original xbox with 128mb ram upgrade and xdk bios, and works ok on both of those

 

hmmm. I havent tried it yet, I was hoping it would run on a stock xbox that was modded. Diddy do you have a link to that software that converts the XBE? If so I will try it out a give the game a shot.

 

You are truly a gentleman! Much appreciated indeed!

 

Try X-S or geuex (french site)

 

I have found a program that may be what I wanted but I am having NO luck getting it running on my softmod. the first time the console just rebooted back to XBMC. After I started playing with patching and crap I just get to sit at a black screen until I turn the console off.

Diddy can you link me directly to a working program that you would recommend? I got mine (which crashs every other time I use it) from gamecopy world lol.

 

retailtodebug is all you need, all it does is xor a few bytes which you can do manually if you want, see xbox linux docs for values. You need to mod entry and thunk.

 

what?

lol I didnt understand a large portion of what you said. I will look into the retailtodebug thing but all of the programs I am trying to convert the xbes with are crashing for some damn reason?

 

make sure the files arnt read only, and use a cmd promt instead of the gui versions

 

Diddy I cant get anything to work at all. The command prompt and the GUI both crash. Can you try to get it running on a modded retail unit and let me know? I really really want to try this out and its killing me not being able to do anything

 

ill have a mess later on, and if i get it working on a normal modded box ill post the xbe files or get someone on here to host them for me

the other option for you of course is to install the xdk dash on your xbox

http://xbox-scene.com/articles/debug-xdk.php

pretty straight forward really as long as you can obtain all the files, but theres still a possibility that it will not run on a standard 64mb xbox

 

I've installed the files onto Drive E and although I can get it to load in, 2 or 3 of the xbe fail to launch anything other than the initial logos.

When I copied it over from my laptop, some of the artwork files failed because they came back as "illegal filename" which is odd.

The default debug xbe launches and I can get to the street scene before the girl drops the flag ahead of the flaming starting line, at which point the race clunks to a buggy end...

Ho hum!

 

Okay, the debug version stalls 2 or 3 seconds into the actual race.

Solution. Reverse, point in the opposite direction, turn around and get racing. It works for me, but so far I haven't won any races lol

The problem with the game stalling appears to be related to the FLAG GIRL.

;-)

 

Besides choppy framerate, am I the only one who this actually mostly works for?

 

I havent had a chance to load it up on my dev box yet

 

Well, unless you mean you can take off and race without going backwards first, then yes! Choppy as hell and on the last lap as I cross the line the game drops out completely.

What are you getting?

 

Parris could it be because you are using a PAL debug or would that matter?

 

I switched it to NTSC earlier on, but must admit I was using it for another title and must have forgotten to switch it back again as it was a PAL title I obtained a couple of days ago. Therefore, yes it performs a lot better in NTSC - still cuts out as I cross the finishing line, but that must be related to it being incomplete.

Cheers for pointing that out lol - must post note "remember to switch regions" on my forehead :lol:

 

LOL, wow. I dont even own a debug, im all retail NTSC hardware and that was just a lucky guess. I noted that the relase was from a US source and I know you are UK so I thought, hey... I will either solve his problem or make a fool outta myself lol.

Also, anyone have any luck getting it running on a retail modded xbox. I want to do the SDK thing but I cant find that SDK dash I need anywhere except on torrentspy and they are blocking me because im US
