EverytimeI try to load Blinx 2 it just displays a black screen and softlocks, nothing shows up, not even the intro. IGR also stops working so I have to press the power button. I know my dump is correct so I am a little confused.

I have had this problem before with 2 games. One was Animaniacs but swapping out the XBE with the European version fixed it. The other game was a PAL exclusive, SCAR: Squadra Corse Alfa Romeo, I simply changed the mode to PAL 50Hz and it works. Blinx 2 only had a global release so I can't swap XBEs and running it at 50Hz doesn't fix it. I also tried different resolutions between 480i, 480p, 720p but the results were the same. As a last resort, I tried looking it up but apparently I'm the only one with problems running this game so I don't know what else to do other than ask here.


One last thing for now, take a screenshot of the directory listing in the FTP that shows directory listing with file sizes of the files in the root folder of the C and E drives and post it in the reply too.


From the x2config.ini file, I see that C:evoxdash.xbe is the first item in the BIOSes boot order list. This file exists on the C drive and being 60KB in size is an XBE shortcut to another application that it runs. Please, attach the C:evoxdash.xbe file to a reply.


hmm, this shortcut file is a made with a different tool than what I'm used to. The XBE Shortcut Maker v2.0 creates a 64KB file while this one is only 60KBs. Attach the other evoxdash.??? files that are in the root directory of the C drive.


Edit 2: Ah ha, from what I've determined this shortcut file, 60 KBs in size, was created with XBE Shortcut Maker v1.0. v1.0 requires an old unsupported on Windows 10 version of .NET Framework to be installed for it to run. I don't use the v1.0 version on Windows 10 for that reason but I do use the v2.0 release. XBE Shortcut Maker v2.0 does not require .NET Framework to run. Shortcut files created with it are 64 KBs in size instead of 60 KBs.


Uhh... so it flashed and now it's broken. It shows the iND white screen but the LED blinks and it goes into a black screen just to show the white intro screen... in an infinite loop so I cannot access the console now it seems.


Other XboxHDM23USB releases, Beta 2 and Beta 3, are configured to access the Xbox hard drive - SATA or IDE - with a USB-to-HDD interface adapter. USB 2.0 adapters have a better chance of being supported than USB 3.0 adapters.


On my console when booting the patched ind-bios 5003.67.bin BIOS, at first, the eject light flashes green with the screen displaying the text "loading ind-bios" in white on a black background. After a few seconds, the eject ring turns solid green and the screen changes to a white background with a big green X logo and the text ind-bios printed below it. After a couple of seconds of this screen, my default dashboard's - UnleashX's - splash screen appears followed by the dashboard's menu.
