Newer Games need Patching to boot From HD
Well... a number of new games being released lately have changed the placement of their MEDIA descriptor in the DEFAULT.XBE files of the game! Current Titles affected so far:
All-Star Baseball 2003
World Series Baseball 2004
High Heat Baseball 2004
Rayman3
... all need to be patched. Owners of these games will need to PATCH these games.. so that they can be properly backed up! This is the same mess that ENIGMAH BETA and XTENDER users faced in the beginning. Now ALL Modchip users will need to apply some sort of patch to make these titles WORK! (that is.. until a new BIOS is release.. that fixes this in memory!)
Until then.. we have the fine research conducted by XEERO of XBOX-SCENE. He did the detective work.. and was the first to post details of why these 4 games needed patches!
He learned that you need to change a string in the original DEFAULT.XBE
From:
00 74 4B E8 CA FD FF FF 85 C0 7D 06 33 C0 50 50 EB 44 F6 05
To
00 74 4B E8 CA FD FF FF 85 C0 EB 06 33 C0 50 50 EB 44 F6 05
and the above 4 games would function properly as a backup from disc or hd!
There is no knowing if these tools will help will all new games that come out…
There appears to already be one variation of the new XBE… MVP Baseball which has it’s HEX as:
C7 75 0F E8 A1 FE FF FF 85 C0 7D 06 33 C0 50 50 EB 44 F6 05
C7 75 0F E8 A1 FE being different from the four other titles. However.. changing the 7D to EB still fixes the problem!
