Ultimate Dashboard Exploit package for use with xboxhdm.
--------------------------------------------------------

This is a small package intended to make installing the 
UDE exploit easier using xboxhdm.

WARNING
-------

It's ONLY for people having a kernel version below 5713.
If you dont fulfill these requirements there is no point
in trying to use this package.

SOFTWARE NEEDED.
---------------
xboxhdm v1.6 or above
UDEpackage v.1.2

AND...
Since we cant distribute M$ copyrighted code this package is
not complete/functional before the update.xbe file accessable
for the installer. This has to be the update.xbe from
the 4920 version of the MS Dashboard. If you already have
this dashboard version on the HDD you dont have to do 
anything special. If not you need to add the update.xbe
to this directory (UDE) before burning the xboxhdm CD.
If you dont have a backup of the 4920 dashboard you can get
Slayers Evox v.2.5 Final. It has the following specs.

Note: The UDE istaller will check the included update.xbe and abort
if the md5sum doesn't match. Hopefully this will prevent people
from getting a non-working install.

WHY ?
-----

Some people dont have the option to use softhack packages from
memory cards. The alternative is to upload files to the xbox
HDD from a PC using HDD Driver or a fatx enabled linux.
HDD Driver is buggy (if people get it running at all) and some
people dont like to use linux because they are unfamiliar with
the commands needed. Xboxhdm tries to be more user-friendly
by including a semi-graphical filemanager, and now also has a tool
that should make installation of the UDE simple.

WHAT WILL IT DO ?
-----------------

This package will :
1) Install the update.xbe font hack (Bert-ate-Ernie).
2) Phoenix Bios Loader v 1.4.1   or
   PBL-Lite                      or
   nkpatcher.
   Only bios included is the 4981.67_ef bios. Include
   more bioses (E:\BiosLD) if you need. 
3) Evox v. 3935.    or
   MXM              or
   UnleashX

   Ip              = 192.168.0.3
   Subnetmask      = 255.255.255.0
   Defaultgateway  = 192.168.0.1
4) Install a font patched copy of the MS dashboard 
   in C:\ called msdash.xbe to be run from Evox when using 
   the font hack.
5) Make a compressed image of C: that can be used 
   for restoring for C: later.
6) Make a backup of your eeprom and hdd pass to
   E:\backup_linux if the eeprom.bin is included on your xboxhdm CD
7) Make a game save with eeprom.bin and hdd pass to be copied
   to your PC from the MS Dash memory menu, if the eeprom.bin is 
   included on your xboxhdm CD

On installation a game save directory is added on your
xbox containing tools to configure and reinstall the
package. These tools are the same as installed with
the Memcard UDE installer also available from xbins.
If fact they serve as a game save hack when used with
an exploitable version of Mech Assault.

If you have installed MXM as your dashboard you can reach
the ltools menu directly from MXM's main menu. An alternative
way of reaching this menu is booting your xbox with the eject
button. This should bring you directly to the ltools menu.

If you uninstall the UDE hack from the ltools menu you either
have to have the Mech Assault game to reenable the hack,
or reinstall UDE using the xboxhdm CD.

HOW TO USE
----------

Get the software. Extract both xboxhdm and the UDEpackage.
Move the UDE directory to xboxhdm/linux/

See the howto from xboxhdm for information on making the bootable iso.
(the impatient user can just execute the make-iso-win.bat script)
Unlock your xbox HDD, either by hotswapping or by unlocking the drive
with the unique HDD password (get it from Evox, ConfigMagic, or use your
eeprom with xboxhdm to get the password using the xboxhd tool).
Once bootet to xboxhdm with your xbox HDD on primary master 
type : UDE
Follow instructions. When you are done, remember to re-lock the drive 
if it was unlocked earlier. Reassemble you xbox. Enjoy !

Note : The tool assumes that the user has a working C-drive before
       the UDE is installed. The UDE can and will be installed
       in any case (since it will run without any other files than
       the ones included), but of course the uninstall function will
       not make much sence. The uninstall is aborted if it seems the
       unmodded C-drive will be non-functional (missing xboxdash, missing
       original fonts,...)

Remember that you can use xboxhdm and the built-in filemanager 'xbrowser'
to add, remove, renamed files and directories on your xbox HDD.
