got it working on mine on Pal xbox, this is what i had to do and just envolved EEPROM Region

all this stuff about the other bits are NOT needed:
Video output is still on widescreen! and working on microsft dashboard and evox and the game, region is set to "Auto" in xbox settings and Video Standard on "NTSC - North America" and TSR is set to "NO"

so basically only thing needing changing was my EEPROM.

So start configmagic, make a backup of the EEPROM, unlock HD and then edit where is says "NTSC REGION 4" and change it to "NTSC REGION 1" with the "On the fly edit EEPROM" option by deleating 4 and changing it to 1.

then select "Update XBOX EPPROM", then "Load XBOX EPPROM" - then "lock HD"

thats it, reboot console, and game should work and if you goto Configmagic settings again it should say NTSC REGION 1.


just be careful with config magic as you can screw over your xbox!

off to play some with monkey balls

OK, this WILL work on a PAL XBox (with its EEPROM set as PAL) without the need for an Evo chip, 'cos I'm watching it run through the demo right now.

You need UnleashX (or rather I only know how to make it work with that), then go System -> Settings -> Video Display -> Set 'Auto Switch' to 'Yes'. It should then work perfectly.

I'm running it on a 1.1 PAL XBox, set to widescreen with an Xecuter 2.3 chip running the latest X2 BIOS and it's working just fine. No nasty EEPROM fiddles needed this way either.

This is what to do if you have a PAL XBOX and you dont want to mess with your EEPROM.

Here is my experience with this release:

First my config: XBOX PAL v1.0, Bios EvoX M7 (K:5101), Dash EvolutionX 1.08.3935, IGR OFF, Game region Default, Video region PAL.

I booted the game from DVD in PAL video mode and the game return to dash...

I booted the game from DVD in NTSC video mode and the game return to dash...

I keep UnleashX as APPS for its support for .rar, .zip and its ability to autoswitch videomode EEPROM SAFE.

So i start UnleshX i go to Settings>Video Display>Video Mode (EEPROM Safe)>Autoswitch select [YES] and Multi Region Mode [NTSC M] and the Save and Exit.

Reboot start UnleashX>Launch DVD and game works!!! (probably it patch the kernel for both video mode and game region!!!)

I have UnleashX 0.37.1218A Build 543 (you can see that at Setting>Xbox Info>Dash version).

I installed the game on HDD with Complex Tools v1.60 with MEDIAPATCH set to 1 and at the end it looks like "media flags patched" and "no CD routine check was founded".

I start UnleashX and i launch the game from HDD and game DONT works!!!

I inserted the DVD in the tray i start UnleashX and i launch the game from HDD and game works!!!

I replaced the "patched" default.xbe from HDD with the original one from DVD i start UnleashX and i launch the game from HDD and game works!!!

SO IF YOU WANT TO RUN THE GAME FROM HDD SIMPLY COPY THE GAME FROM DVD TO HDD WITH BOXPLORER OR ANY OTHER FILEMANAGER THAT DONT PATCH THE .XBE's AND LAUNCH IT FROM UNLEASHX!!!

I dont know if it works with BIOSEs with EJECT FIX or with softmodded XBOXes with NKpatcher becouse this alter the ROE flag (rest on eject).

Works here on a XBOX (1.1) with SmartXX (settings all on American) without changing anything else.

Think that the SmartXX makes these changes somehow.

here's what I had to do to get the game working on my pal xbox, I hope it helps someone
my set up is 1.6 xbox, xecutor 3 modchip with x3 bios build 3039, evolutionx dash build 3935
open up your evox.ini
underneath the line "ChameleonLed = 15"
add the following 2 lines:-

GameRegion = 1

Adjust Game Region in Evox settings = yes

then save the changes you've made
ftp this evox.ini to your xbox c drive
reboot your xbox and the game will now work from the dvd (you need an ntsc compatible tv, once the game runs it automatically switches to ntsc)

as was stated by catalinnc if you want the game to run from your hard drive use a file transfer program that doesn't patch the default.xbe or copy the default.xbe over from the dvd to your game folder

BTW my setup was with cheapmod, bios 4981 X2.

Also installed to HD and works fine - using Px-HDD Loader. - took ages though!

will try on my kids crystal xbox tomorrow as that has SmartXX chip, seeing Drake008@ says his is ok and the kids are moaning that the PS2 version looks rubbish compared to the xbox one and they want it on theirs, lol

nah. invisible courses, how fun is that?

really wiered, especially since the story mode, time mode and party mode all works well. lol first i thought it was supposed to be like that. but it was just a little bit too hard. following some kind of trails of bananas to find out where to go. Very Happy

i dont think it has anything to do with xbox settings, but i dont think it can be the game in itself either. but obviously something is messed up here. really strange this. and i havent heard of anyone else expirience this either!?

edit: burned it to dvd and played from there instead. and now it works. Smile

considering the release groups do it for no profit, and they dont have to get you games for free, i'd be a little more grateful and stop whinging about it, some people have it working so it wasn't a total disaster. give the release guys a break.

lol, the thing is, it does work!

So what if you have to change 1 settings, so what if your xbox cannot be altered to do this setting thats your problem, if your xbox is setup right and you have a compatible TV, then the game works fine from dvd or HD

Just tested on my kids SmartXX chipped console, works a treat, all i had to change was region to NTSC M in avlaunch settings! as it was on Auto,

seems as if smartXX chips nothing needs altering EEPROM wise!

If you complain about having to tweak your settings to get it run, my oppinion is to go out and buy the fucking game yourself, or wait till next month (in my PAL case) till its officially released and spend £40 on it.

Thanks for the rls GAMERZ, keep up the good work, let's see an XBE patch soon tho plz Smile

*LOOOOOOOOL* i have got it to work but change eeprom on your motherboard becoz playing a game is a very danger thing to , 6/10 it destroy the mother but , a good rule never use software to change eeprom , NO its not a working realease , but still keep up the good work gamers just dont write Working a game where you have to change your eeprom
