XBOX Softmod - there *IS* a god, - and he effing hates me!

["Paul Gordon" <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!



Even this process, which is supposed to be so ***ing simple is annoying
the t*ts off me...



First off, I have an Action Replay, - but can I get Windows to recognise
the memory card as something it can write to? - can I b*ll**ks - I've
installed the Action Replay software, and it runs just fine, but wont
allow me to copy anything to the memory device. It appears in Windows
device manager as an unpartitioned 8MB device, - but I'm fairly sure I
shouldn't need to prepare it with windows... - first the manual doesn't
say anything about that, & secondly, I would imagine that it won't work
in the AR or the XBOX if I do?....



Fine, - give up on that I thought, - I also have a home-brew XBOX-USB
cable lent to me by another UKHAer, -- and previously used and stated to
be working... I also have (had) a "spare" 1GB USB key... So I
dropped
the gamesave files on the key, and it connected to the XBOX, - which
promptly said that my memory device was invalid or something, and it has
been erased... ARGH!  - that USB key now appears to be *absolutely*
F**ked - none of my Windows machines will revive it, - disk management
will NOT allow it to be repartitioned or formatted, - any attempt to use
the stick results in a hardware error message... - Thanks a bunch
XBOX....



This whole bloody XBOX mod business is driving me spare! - I know how to
follow a simple set of instructions, and I'm doing so painstakingly
carefully. Even then, absolutely every single step is a battle...



GRRRRRR
