Can't run an appl. on XP

[Hitcher]

I've downloaded a Progressive Scan Patcher of the Xbox only I can't run the thing.

When I try you can just see a little window open and run a few lines of something then it just closes up.

I've tried running it in different compatibility modes but still no luck.

This is the only link I have about it from Xbox-scene -


First Version of Progressive Scan Patcher
>> The first version of Progressive Scan Patcher has been relaesed.

"A PC hosted tool. It allows to patch xbe to make them ocmpatible with progressive scan displays (i.e. HDTV and true VGA converters). Tested on several XBox games, homebrew or MS (Dasboard and onlinedash). It allows progressive scan DVD playback if applied to DVD RegionX or MS Dashboard.

Hi All here is the first version of my patcher for game that do not support progressive scan mode. I tried it successfully on the Dashboard, The Thing and DVD RegionX. It's been reported to work on Hitman2 too You need a modded Xbox and the ability to make a backup of your game or running it from HD. Using te patcher on a file called Default.xbe will ouput a new file called Default.xbe.patched replace your game Default.xbe with that one (remove the ".patched" )and it should autodetect if progressive mode can be used. Enjoy. ProgressiveScan."


Anyone offer me some help please?

OK, I should have mentioned I'm not that good with PCs, how do I run a 'dos prompt'?

Goto Start/Run and type in COMMAND (or CMD if you prefer) - a DOS box will then appear.

Done that, then what do I do to run the appl.?

[Ciaran]

Just put the app in C: drive then type c:\app name

or if its in a folder then c:\folder name\app name

OK I did this and all I get is this -

XBox XBE HDTV and VGA Enabler by <ProgressiveScan>
XBE Progressive Scan Pacher, By Progressive Scan
Usgae : pp.exe file.xbe

C:\>

XBox XBE HDTV and VGA Enabler by <ProgressiveScan>
XBE Progressive Scan Pacher, By Progressive Scan
Usgae : pp.exe file.xbe

C:\>

file.xbe is an example of the name of the Xbox executable you want to patch.

at the c:\ prompt you need to type something like:

c:\pp.exe <pathtofile>file.xbe

and it will mod the executable to enable prog scan.

Thanks for the help Papercut, I'll try it out later.
