Im using MA and under the sid4MA folder it just says Run Linux. I looked at the pic in the tutorial and the SC has Linux Profile. Are these the same thing or am i missing something?

I've tried several times and it continues to open halfway. Could it be some malfunction with the tray itself? Since I'm not too sure, I'll describe the process, maybe I'm doing something I shouldn't be doing.

Here it goes: As soon as I press the eject button, the tray comes halfway and returns in, then I press eject again to get the disc out, I pull it out turn it off and on, and I end back to the same intro and blank screen.

@Bud, the tray action is normal...Idk why you keep getting blank screens though. Try hitting the eject button to turn the Xbox on.

@outcast, Yes, same thing, different game.

The main thing I want to do with my mod is play emulators and backed up games, would evolutionx make things easier or should I just stick with unleash?

[AzzidReign]

Either or. UX is better but it's up to you.

[BuduViera]

Tried again hitting eject and powering off and on, but I still get the same screen. I thought I mention that when the tray opens, it doesn't even allow me enough time to pull the disc out, it comes close to half but not quite. Also just in case it helps, the light is not green at the moment.

Please see if this new info helps. I'll keep trying different things meanwhile, thank you.

Where do you live? US or UK?

[BuduViera]

I'm in the US. However, I downloaded SID 5.01 and followed the same process and this time I had success with the soft mod. I'm already experimenting with the different possibilities that Unleash X allows.

Thank you very much Azzid for your help with the installation of the softmod. I'm sure it won't be long until I post another question, maybe this time in another location of these forums.

Glad to hear you have it working. All dashboards can be installed with AID4 if you can find a download for it.
