Bypassing the Media Check in Newer Games
This tutorial is a little late, but there have been many questions on how to go about doing this. I will explain how to manually patch newer games to allow them to run off your xbox HDD, or any other dvd media. Patching isuniversal amongst all games created around February 2003.
Just wanted to also say that you can get a patcher called "isocraxton" to auto-patch games for you. It is the only patching program that I would even consider using, as I have had many trouble with other patchers.
With that said, lets get started. Obtain the xbox executable (default.xbe) file of the game you want to patch. If you don't have one already, download a Hex Editor such as Hackman 7.0 and start it up.
Open up the executable file and search for this string:
744BE8CAFDFFFF85C07D0633C050
After you find it, replace the 7D with an EB so it looks like this:
744BE8CAFDFFFF85C0EB0633C050
Then just save the default.xbe file and your game will be patched. If you do not find that string, then search for this one:
E8CAFDFFFF85C07D
and again, replace the 7D with an EB so it looks like this:
E8CAFDFFFF85C0EB
Just save it and the game will be patched. Thats really all there is to it.
