Well seeing as all the Linux @ xbox360 users are here... I’ll post it here first.

I was getting sick of changing the KingKong dvd with the SDA loader DISC..
So I went hunting for the possibility to have 1 single dual layer DVD to do all my bidding...
After annoying Ssmurf on IRC he said it is very well possible but the only problem was that the dvd was in 'game' mode and needed to change to regular mode.

Then I searched around and got the basic readcd codehttp://free60.cvs.sourceforge.net/free60/xell/readcd(thx Tbminc for the good notes @ code ).

I also got a hold of the "close tray" PPC code...

After experimenting with a few possibilities, increasing the time etc... We (ssmurf & I) found out that the disc doesn't exactly 'needs' to eject.
The Dvdrom drive just needs to get the instruction to eject. So basically the Tray stays closed (cool!).

We compiled the code at an Xbox360 itself (tutorial is on free60 http://www.free60.org/wiki/Readcd).

After this we hexed in the SDA loader @ 0x00 because the Xbox360 ignores it anyway... (Hacked drive of course..)



What you need:
Vulnerable Kernel: versions 4532 and 4548
Xbox360 Dvd drive with patched firmware.
The new shader: released in the shaderform(loadfromdvd.bin)
Xorloser tools: kkpatcher.
Kingkong Game (first 1)
winhex
XELL-Bootloader-sda2-v2.6.21.1.iso (maybe there will be another one by the time this guide is posted...)


First backup your KingKong game with XBC, we'll name it KingKong.iso

 
After that we use the kkpatcher to patch our newly formed shader into the KingKing.iso(in dos):
kkpatcher kingkong.iso loadfromdvd.bin

You will see successful or something..

Hex Editing the xell boot loader sda2:
now start winhex, make sure you have more than 7,5 gb free on your C drive (winhex makes a tempfile..)
open KingKong.iso then open XELL-bootloader-sda2-v2.6.21.1.iso.

go to XELL-bootloader-sda2-v2.6.21.1.iso, control+a (select all), then Control+c (right click:edit->copy block->Normally).
Now go to KingKong.iso !!VERY IMPORTANT DON'T CONTROL+V!! First go to address 0 (alt+G).
Now go to Edit->Clipboard Data->WRITE.
Now go to file save just to be sure..
Burn with XBC and your done..



Just to be clear I maybe went through the motions but Ssmurf did all the hard work.. for which I’m grateful no more getting up to change the disc!

has been tested on a xbox360 with a Samsung & Hitachi 47DJ with older xtreme versions. But seeing as you won't go on live anymore..

yeah..
BUT you need to have Linux installed on your xbox 360..

so first use KingKong with the normal shader & the gentoo live cd install debian or ubuntu like explained here:
Install it to harddisk (optional)

Guide: http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=595543

Debian etch install Script: http://www.free60.org/wiki/Debian-etch (Recommended)

Ubuntu 7.04 install Script: http://www.free60.org/wiki/Ubuntu7.04

after you have done that,

Use kingkong with 'my' shader...
put dvd in and play start and it boots linux from your xbox360 hd...without changing discs or the tray opening at all..

This is very nice .

If im reading it correct you added a little more waiting


And in the waitready function you added the close tray code right?


So what you're doing is opening and closing the tray very fast. And this gets it out of game mode. Right?

What you need:
Vulnerable Kernel: versions 4532 and 4548
Xbox360 Dvd drive with patched firmware.


But, is possible with demo of king kong without  Dvd drive with patched firmware?
Anyone have demo taked from live?
He can try?

Shouldn't be a problem. Just use ultraiso and replace the kernel on the iso I created..

I setuped my box with auto boot game if it is in the dvd drive
 
0secs   poweron
29secs to boot to 'start' game
34secs to be able to press start (before the USB control is detected, should be faster with an xbox 360 remote control)

51secs for Xell to start the count down.

that would only sign the user part of it, but since the arcade games themselves are signed with the 2048 bit key, you couldn't run your own code or modified xexs that way.

I believe some one on x-s posted something about that.. something was invalid.. i'll see if i can find the link..

are you sure that the file you have is named loadfromdvd.bin?

does the file loadfromdvd.bin exist in dl-dvd-icekiller_smurf_kit?

LoadFromDVD.bin
should be the file name..

(try it)

owyeah.. you do know that you need to copy your kingkong.iso to that folder right? and name it kingkong.iso ..

guesssing on the pics your using vista? you need to start CMD as  administrator..

or change the owners permissions on all your files..
