xboxdash dvd region free patch disc v1.03

I have released xboxdash dvd region free patch disc v1.03 bootable directly in any modded xbox. The disc is fully automated and can be used to quickly switch between original and patched m$ dasboard, good for xbox live users. The disc is based on a fast and very powerful "mini Linux ram disk dist" which boots in less than 10sec (not counting xbox splash screen). All patch data provided by sylver from his excellent 'xboxdash dvd region free patcher v1.03'
for Windows. The patch tool used is ApplyPPF v3.0 (Linux) by =Icarus/Paradox=. All ppf3 patches features "undo data" to provide a slick restore function when
needed. The only file touched by this tool is 'xboxdash.xbe' on your hd system partition (C:), no backup files needed for restore function.

Supported original m$ dashboards:
---------------------------------
- 3944
- 4034
- 4817
- 4920 rev. 10027100
- 4920 rev. 1012a700
- 5659 rev. 17e4cd00
- 5659 rev. 17f14d00
---------------------------------
Usage:
Zip file includes an .iso ready to burn on dvdr or cdrw. Use Nero (win) or cdrecord (unix) to burn and make sure the disc is finalized (fixated/session closed). Boot the disc in your xbox. Progress is displayed on screen.
Affected file: C:xboxdash.xbe
If a supported original m$ dasboard is found; the dasboard is patched to make dvd region free. If a previously patched m$ dashboard is found; the dasboard is restored to original state where dvd is region protected.
Here is the disc "switch" procedure explained:
* boot disc
* found original dashboard
* do dvd region free patching
* don't use xbox live!
...maybe you watch some dvd movies now :)
* boot disc
* found patched dashboard
* restore dashboard to original state
* ok to use xbox live
...maybe you turn off modchip and play xbox live now :)
Troubleshooting:
If you get "* matching md5 128-bit checksum of [xboxdash.xbe]...failed" it means your xboxdash.xbe is either missing or not a supported (new?) version.
For some reason Craxtion might fail reading the included iso since it was created by 'mkisofs' (the mother of all iso tools) using UDF mode, heard
strange reports about this. On the other hand you don't need to use Craxtion, just burn the iso image and boot in your xbox.
Trademarks:
look mama no hands(tm)
bourne bash patch da dash(tm)
all trademarks are a joke(tm)
Changelog:
v1.03
+ initial release
+ following sylver's release sequence
- no support for untested dashboard - 4627

(User Info | Send a Message) http://www.eurasia.nu | I got a question in the mail:
-"why use this patch when you can use DVDX 2?"
The reason is that many people nowdays want to use a remote instead of the xbox controller when viewing dvd, or maybe they like the original dashboard "look and feel".
Also... Now there are lots of cheap "noname" xbox remotes (with dongle) on sale if you think the original one is too expensive. |

I just got 2 different region DVD remotes and I want to be able to switch between them.
Do I have to install a mod chip to use this?
If I need to chip my xbox, what's the easiest (cheapest) way and chip?
is there a purely soft mod that will work better?
