Do not ask us where to get it, because more than likely we don't know. Only specific drives have this special type of firmware available... Generally specific models of Samsung. Even with the hacked firmware you still have to modify the drive my soldering a few connections.

why didn't u read this?

no, he meant, once you have the files, is there anyway of unpacking them. I am at that stage. I have the files. I downloaded them (yes I already own the game, before you think Im a crazy warez pirate), and now I need to unpack them. maybe _SF_ can add this in his next release...

Yes, i ment after having the files on my computer. I have read the whole "Xeon v1.0 released" post and still following it. now back to the unpacking. is this just a problem of an unknown type of zip or is there more too it?

If the file extention is .rar then it needs to be unpacked by a program called winrar. it is like winzip but instead of using .zip format it uses .rar

i dont quite think that it is that simple. if it was it would have been done already. i think microsoft created a new compression thing just for xbox.... maby....

Actually, the problem is probably with some of the graphics functions called when Halo starts for the first time. If you run it in software mode it should unpack the data files correctly.

Sorry, i just misunderstood what you were asking.

so this way, you wouldn't need to get cache files of the xbox? OK, and once they have been unpacked correctly, you could run it... erm, not in software mode?
