Jedi academy/Max payne 2 freezes
 

My backup of jedi academy freezes when i try to save the game. I used a hex editor to fix the files and the data burn method (i didn't make an iso just burned the files)
Max boots up fine then freezes when trying to load a new game. Same method to burn it.

Try turning off all IRG's in Evox or try a better brand of media i.e Ritek as that might fix the problem. Also, why use a hex editor when you can use Craxtion to patch the Xbe for the media check, which will be quicker and is an excellent program for any xbox user.

Ill tell you why:

Well I found one thing wrong with Craxation and Ive already emailed LepPper about it. He has not gotten back with me though.

In Project Gotham Racing 2 I noticed it was a larger than normal game so I decided to rip it to fit on a single dvdr. I did so by going into the Demo's folder and copying and renaming files as to make things a bit smaller without deleting anything. I notice these demos had their own .xbe's. I then said to myself "Well Craxation will patch them."

I had a gut feeling that it wouldnt though. Anyways, after resizing the game I loaded up Craxation and made my ISO. I notice it only patched the .xbe's in the initial folder where the default.xbe is. It continued to make the ISO and I just thought to myself that maybe I should use the old fashioned Hex Editor just in case.

I loaded up WinHex with all my settings already set from ages ago, and clicked search. Of course it found the 4 .xbe's that were in the Demo folder and patched them.

I still figure that this only means that if you would have went to play the demos you would have found out that you would be sent back to the Xbox screen or at least given you a dirty disc screen.

Conclusion:

Craxation does not search the entire game but only the initial folder where the default.xbe is. If MS or other game compainies ever make an .xbe to load in the other folders people with older xbox chips are in for a suprise.



Tyler!

Thanks for the info, you learn something everyday.

hehe yup
o and another thing
if u have a stupid clock like me
then u should think about changin the clock
ebcasue in max payne 2 and the gta's, my clock freezes the game while loadin
so check that out

max works now!!
 

Max payne works now with the clock set. Go figure! Still can't get Jedi working right. It plays fine until its time to save or load a game. It still won't load of save a game. I use Ritek media.

yea i told ya
i dont get y max payne 2 doesnt work without the clock bein set
but o well
glad u got that workin
im not familiar with jedi academy.. so sorry, cant help ya there

jedi night working now
 

Jedi Knight works if you remove all your game saves off the HD. I removed them all but I don't know if just taking out most of them would have worked. Weird fix but it worked!!

wait.. what?
delete like eveyrhithing off e drive?
that makes no sense...

Yeah how would they explain that to the other game makers.



Tyler!
