Okay, knowing that getting this debug kit to work could be potentially difficult, here is my advice regarding each issue which I numbered:sabu wrote: - XDK loads when I click on XBE from the Softmodded Dashboard after Filesearching the XBE.
1- XDK only displayed "Microsoft Dashboard" inside the list of things I can execute.
2- Upon clicking on the "Microsoft Dashboard" from the XDK, I'm only prompted with a freeze and the logo to Microsoft Xbox.
3- I'm displayed a Debugged IP which happens to be different than the IP I use to FTP to my Xbox, still cant obtain a Connection.
I read earlier in Neados post regarding an issue another user had with using it and Neados said that I see one of your problems is that you have a Softmodded Xbox? Am I not supposed to be running a Softmodded Xbox in order to use the XDK Features? Also about the version of the Xbox... I don't know how to tell what version the Xbox might be but if it helps, when I'm in the Halo 2 Mainmenu, I'm displayed the numbers 1.1 at the bottom right?
#1 - It should not only show this MS dashboard, double check your directories, as by default the MS dashboard will show up always whether it is present on the C root or not.
#2 - You might not have the Microsoft Dashboard in you C directory, so it is trying to load something that isn't present. Seeing as how you softmodded your box (as did I) it might not be a good idea to mess with these files.
#3 - Your Debug IP address and FTP address are used for separate things. The FTP address allows a default FTP connection using port 21 to access files on the xbox while the Debug IP allows to connect to the xbox while you are running a program or playing a game. (Pretty much runs two bios so that one can be used for games / apps / media while the other supports the debug connection.)
Trying to connect with an FTP server through port 21 will fail. I can't remember which port the debug IP uses i think it is between 70 and 89 but yeah.
