  1. I've written some firmware for the RP2040, thanks to a bunch of TinyUSB drivers created by Ryzee119 and the OpenStickCommunity, that supports pretty much anything the original OGX360 supports, apart from the 360 keyboard for Steel Battalion. On top of those I've added Sony Dualshock 4 and Dualsense support, and will be working on Switch Pro/Dualshock 3 once I get my hands on those. By default it's setup for the Adafruit Feather RP2040 USB Host board, but it can be compiled for the normal Pico as well, though that doesn't have a second USB port for your controller so you'll have to solder one to GPIO 0/1 (data +/-). The firmware can be compiled and used for - Original Xbox - Nintendo Switch - Xinput (not 360, due to the security chip) These are all the devices that are supported currently: - Original Xbox Duke and S controllers - Wired Xbox 360 controllers - Xbox 360 wireless PC adapter (clone and Microsoft, syncs 1 controller) - Xbox One/Series/Elite controllers - Dualshock 4 (PS4) - Dualsense (PS5) - 8bitdo v1 and v2 wireless adapters I've posted source code and compiled .uf2 files on Github: https://github.com/wiredopposite/OGX-Mini I'd also add that Playstation controllers are recognized by USB vendor and device ID, I'm not positive if there's a better way to do that, but those need to be manually added to the program to work. I need more of these IDs so if you're aware of some list somewhere, or your aftermarket Playstation 4/5 controller isn't working, just give me the VID/PID and I'll add them. I also need these for Playstation 3 controllers once I get around to adding support for those. This is the Adafruit board, no soldering is required for this, you just need a way to connect USB-C to your Xbox's controller port:

  3. *grabs a drink from my crowded freezer* Back to work. I peel off whatever's left of the adhesive pad thing. Maybe I could've just rubbed it off. Meh. For the absolutely clueless amongst us, what I'll be doing here is cutting a hole in order to add LEDs underneath to light the jewel (after polishing out the jewel). Mind you this whole area is not getting hollowed out, the jewel needs a rim of plastic to sit on. I decide the rim will be 4mm wide. Not owning a tool able to directly measure the plastic, I use my ruler to measure 4mm of width on some thick-ish paper and cut out a strip of that to use as my tool instead. With the paper strip and a needle I go around the circumference of the plastic, measuring and poking it with the needle to mark off 4 millimeters. With the needle's tip I connect the dots. Now the rim is clearly defined. Now I get my leather work gloves and safety glasses on. With my utility knife I score a second, smaller circle into the plastic. It looks like this (when it's done). Oh. The second circle doesn't need to be so close, but setting it farther away just means even more plastic to cut off later, and more time out of my day to cut it. At the start of scoring the plastic I'm applying very light pressure with the knife and keeping it slanted backward a bit so (1) the knife doesn't jump off track and cut things it's not supposed to, and so (2) if it possibly does jump, it jumps into the middle area there that we don't care about. Pic below shows the slant. Next pic shows how I'm really using my knife. I am not actually pulling it around with my right hand. My right hand is only holding it while my left thumb nudges against the blade to move it along. This gives me the most control over my cutting. Round and round we go, scoring the circle deeper. My aim is not to cut completely through the case, only to dig a groove. It's needed for the next step. This work takes a long g'damn time tbh. Better turn some music on... That's deep enough. Now I'm going to really cut out the plastic. I stab the groove and press down while wrenching my blade back and forth in the manner indicated by the blue arrows until its tip has penetrated the underside of the xbox's cover. I pull the knife out and continue along the circumference. Some explaining is in order. My reasons for the making the smaller circle and scoring it in before this step are (1) cutting right into the rim that I marked off would obviously ruin everything, and because (2) the plastic in that area of the xbox's cover is 3mm thick, too thick to stab and wrench at, it would take too much force to be safe for me or the xbox. The groove made it safe. All done. Now I reach in from underneath and trim the whole gnarly surface, cutting with a motion indicated by the arrow, gently, with little pressure. This step is not about final shaping so I stop just before reaching the 4mm rim. There's a tiny bit of slack left. ... I should say, even after all this cutting, the tip of the blade was still sharp enough to shave fur. :3 Greatest hobby knife ever, haha. Next step is final shaping. I do this with very coarse sandpaper and I do it outdoors while wearing a respirator (not a useless covid mask) and while running a fan. Sanding this plastic turns it into superfine dust that gets absolutely everywhere into the air, instantly, and I don't wanna discover what diseases I'd get from breathing that crap. If I didn't own a respirator and fan I'd just totally wrap my face in a shirt and jump into the shower afterward with the cover and all my clothes on. You know what. Maybe next time I'll just do the work while showering. Any grit of sandpaper from 40 to 80 will work. No fixed motions or angles are required for the sanding. Just shape the rim. Reaching in from underneath so I don't accidentally hit the exterior. I'm going to finish the shaping later and polish the edge with higher grit sandpapers. This is the look of things now. More to come.

  4. My experience with the dual fan + dvd elimination kit mod- Overall feedback is that I very much enjoy having this mod in my main build. I haven't played an actual game disc in years at this point, so the DVD drive was just taking up space. The Xbox I installed the fan kit into has an upgraded motherboard, with 1.4ghz CPU/128MB RAM, and I wanted to run a more quiet exhaust fan without sacrificing cooling. I installed a 60mm Noctua fan as the main fan and paired that with two stay quiet! 80mm fans. The system is extremely quiet, even at 100%, and I'm not seeing CPU temps go uncomfortably high, as was somewhat the case before. I haven't done temp testing yet (though I intend to), so I can't speak too much about the cooling difference with the mod yet, but so far so good! I also got a fan splitter and cut it down to a small size, then stuck it on the caddy. I didn't want to solder things together so that I could plug in the stock fan while working on my Xbox and be able to remove the fan caddy completely. I wasn't sure if the stock fan header would be able to drive 3 fans instead of one, but I haven't noticed any issues, even with all at 100%. I wanted to wire the 80mm fans off the regular CPU fan header to be able to control it in software. Quiet in XBMC and loud in games. Both parts are very well made and drop in place effortlessly. I spliced together a molex connector onto a DVD power cable. Works quite well and looks tidy. Praise: Very well made parts. Nemesis dialed the design in so that it all fits together effortlessly. The sturdiness of his prints are top notch. And they even manage to look good. His design lets you swap in different colored faces to the top of the fan shroud, which is a nice touch. Fitment is great. No alignment issues. Parts just drop in as if they were stock. Does what I expected. Blasting air directly down onto the CPU and PSU helps keep parts cool. I'll have to get a thermocouple and dig into it more, but seems to work, even if the 80mm fans might be recirculating some warm air. Well thought out / well laid out. The fan caddy has channels for running wires, and with my fans routing their wires was easy. Nem included a bracket for mounting SATA-IDE adapters with my kit, and it holds the adapter in place. It's not a cheap mod, but you get what you pay for. It's a niche product for enthusiasts, and it is well suited at its price point. I'm very happy with it and would get another in the future. Suggestions: Offer alternative way of mounting DVD bezel. Screw posts can break if you're not careful. Removing your DVD drive includes moving the DVD bezel from the drive to Nem's included mounting bracket. The bracket then screws into the Xbox's front screw standoffs. This has the side effect of allowing for situations where if you have the top case taken off and accidentally bump the DVD bezel, it puts pressure on the screw standoffs at an angle, instead of the usual lateral or downward pressure. This can lead to the screw posts breaking. Offering a DVD power cable would be helpful! After moving the HDD, the molex wire is no longer near the HDD. Running the power to the drive's new location requires an extension cable or similar otherwise. I made a cable by splicing a DVD connector to a molex connector, but it would be convenient if something like that could be offered/included. More room for running fan wires. This is more feedback for the 60mm fan bracket, but with dual-80mm fans mod too, there's probably going to be wires running between the fan caddy and the 60mm fan bracket. It's a bit tight and maybe would benefit from leaving an open channel in the 3D print for wires to rest in. Some means of powering the fans. Maybe also controlled via temp curves. I know Nem is working on a different method to power the fans (PWM, etc) so this may be a moot point later.

  5. I finally got my RF shield restored. I went with metal plating instead of painting. Below are some before and after photos. Unfortunately the before photos are with the case on but you can still see the difference. Apparently the original finish was not metal plated, but some kind of metallic paint. When the RF shield was placed into the rust/paint removal solution the original finish came off instantly. A couple things to note. Although the rust has been removed, the pitting of the metal remains visible. I was warned about this before hand. The inside corners on the bottom piece were very difficult to plate. A special anode had to be created for that area, but even with that there are spots where the metal plating coverage wasn't 100%. I was originally going to use a rust removal solution (I didn’t want to sand it) and spray paint it, but the cost was only slightly less than metal plating. Overall I’m very happy with the result. I’m considering having the RF shield from my 1.4 Xbox restored. It doesn’t have any rust but it's very tarnished, so the result should be even better.

  6. I can confirm that I have success with the modified ATX supply: Currently backing up everything via FTP as the hard drive has a lot of hours on it too. I will be putting together a guide as promised for the next guy, the power supply is from a mini-itx case that was going to the dump, I'm going to transfer the guts to that. Thank you for all your input, stay tuned for a guide.

  7. I've been testing this for 2 ish weeks as they've added some of these new features. Here's a video unlocking a factory locked stock orpaned WD HDD with vendor comands. Here's a video of unlocking a factory locked stock orphaned Seagate slim HDD with vendor commands. It also works on rubber jacket seagate models, but I didn't have a factory locked (maximum security) HDD to test it on. This did unlock every drive I threw at it. Because Team Resurgent was still working on fixing issues with older generation Xenium chips, all of the unlocking was done on an Xblast Aladdin modchip I converted myself from a cheap Aladdin XT Plus 2 from China and a 49LF080A from Digikey. Special thanks to Modzville for helping me figuring out the Xblast Aladdin stuff. I'm impressed at the incremental updates, but floored by the double massive feature drop of other modchip support and Vendor Specific Command orphan HDD unlocking.

  8. After hitting so many walls in my recent projects, it’s nice to have at least one idea come to fruition. This has probably been done before, but I’ve never seen it so I thought I’d share my success story. I have achieved complete IDE elimination with this awesome Startech adapter. Downside is the size of the adapter, but I have a few ideas to make it work. The speeds are really good thus far, but I haven’t done much testing outside of menus. Look past the mess of cables lol. https://imgur.com/a/Ima00KO

  9. This thread will demonstrate how the xbox jewel can be removed, and in a pair of follow-up posts how a hole for it can be made on the xbox cover, all in a very low-tech manner. I'm not confident enough to call these tutorials, but they may be helpful. First: removing the jewel. I grab a couple feet of dental floss and stuff it under the edge of the jewel with a card or what have you. Then I dribble some rubbing alcohol down there, because in my experience rubbing alcohol acts as a mild solvent on the adhesive pad thingy underneath. Whatever helps. By the way it was another modder, not me, who invented the floss method. I start flossing while keeping the arms of the floss in that letter U shape. I'm going to add more alcohol in a minute and re-position the floss at the other side of the jewel then continue working it. After a while the floss approaches the middle of the jewel and it starts to bind, that's when I add some mineral oil to lubricate everything. Pretty much any type of oil will do though. The whole mess starts to look like this... Getting farther in, the floss wants to bind again despite the oil. I don't want it to snap. I lift one of its arms to a 90 degree angle and slowly work the floss back into action. Eventually the jewel is off. This took maybe 10 minutes.

  10. I did this on a 1.0 tonight and played Halo 2 for a bit. I didn't notice any issues and XBMC4Gamers reported a temperature drop from 145f to 120f (both measured on reboot after playing for a bit). That's 63c down to 49c. I still want to play with it extensively to make sure it's actually stable, but if it's not, I can always put the resistor back.

  11. Figured I'd give my results of testing I did today. Initially, I was under the impression that a softmod couldn't take advantage of anything past the stock UDMA 2, but a user on the xboxscene discord said it should work, so I tried it. The results aren't exciting, but it's a clear improvement. I performed the tests on a v1.6 with an HGST 3TB HUS724030ALA640, at full capacity, only 100GB free on F. The only changes were the bios version. UnleashX noticed the changes. The stock bios showed Ultra DMA Mode 4, the UDMA 5 bios shows Ultra DMA Mode 32. I was told this is to be expected, as UX doesn't show the correct numbers, but it clearly shows the changes being made. Everything I tested showed an improvement, although minimal. I ran every test 3 times and took the average. The xbox has an 80 wire and Startech adapter. UDMA 2 (Mode 4) UDMA 5 (Mode 32) Console Off to XBMC4Gamers = 36 seconds 34 seconds XBMC4Gamers to Emustation = 16 15 XBMC4Gamers to UnleashX = 51 50 XBMC4Gamers IGR = 33 32 UnleashX Soft Reset = 18 15 XBMC4Gamers to CoinOps8Massive = 12 11 XBMC4Gamers to Xenon's PS1 Pack = 15 14 XBMC4Gamers to Xenon's NES Pack = 16 14 XBMC4Gamers to Halo CE (No Trainers) = 27 25 XBMC4Gamers to Halo 2 (No Trainers) = 34 32 XBMC4Gamers to Def Jam FFNY (No Trainers) = 26 24 My next test will be with my old 60GB OCZ Agitity II that I had in my pc versus UDMA 6.

  15. Darkwatch Launcher What is Darkwatch Launcher? First some background. Darkwatch was released on PS2 and Xbox. The PS2 version has split-screen cooperative campaign. For the Xbox version, they removed split-screen coop in favor of having an Xbox Live mode. Some Russians figured out how to resurrect the coop mode. The discussion can be found here: https://www.emu-land.net/forum/index.php/topic,69320.0.html?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en. The caveat is that the functionality to save/load the coop progress does not exist in the Darkwatch game files. Coop progress is saved (in the RAM) until the system is reset, at which point it restarts at the first level. The solution? Darkwatch has 17 different chapters or levels. By hex editing the default.xbe with a different starting level code, coop progress can be resumed where it was left off. That's where Darkwatch Launcher comes in! I made Darkwatch Launcher with CDX. It gives you the ability to launch Darkwatch with chapter selection for Coop, or you can launch into the original Live-enabled version. So what is Darkwatch Launcher Package? Darkwatch Launcher requires 18 different patched XBE's to function. Darkwatch Launcher Package includes a .BAT script file which generates and patches the 18 different XBE files. It also includes the launcher files and folder structure. NO GAME FILES ARE INCLUDED! You will need to source those yourself. 480p, Widescreen? Darkwatch Launcher Package's patcher script also allows you to patch the game files with a 480p fix and/or widescreen. The 480p fix patch can be found floating around online. The widescreen patches can be found here: http://ps2wide.net/xbox.html. Why? Because I, like many people, search for couch coop games to play with my friends/family. It is scarcely known that Darkwatch can be patched for split-screen coop, and due to the inaccessibility of the patches and the difficulty resuming progress, I believe it is oft ignored. Darkwatch plays like a zombie/vampire western version of Halo. It is worth your time if you are looking for more couch coop FPS experiences. The Xbox version also has advantages over the PS2 version: 480p, widescreen, and in coop, both players play as Jericho, making cutscenes logical.

  18. Use the TSOP flashing tool. In the OP I explain how I use the tool to flash the latest version of Cerbios. Edit: You can use the "Xblast Only" version near the bottom which will make this MUCH simpler for you. Just run the exploit and it will immediately run XBlast. Then you can net flash Cerbios from your PC over the network. As for the latest version of Cerbios: That is the one we're all using these days.

  20. With the Adafruit Feather board I linked, you plug the USB C end into the Xbox with an Xbox to USB adapter, then your controller into the USB type A port. If you wanted to use the normal Pi Pico board, you'd need to attach another USB port to it for your controller, here's a diagram of that Firmware for both boards is in the Releases section of the Github. There's no wireless functionality on either of these boards so a wireless adapter like an 8bitdo or the Xbox 360 PC adapter is needed for that

  21. Yes, I usually only post when there is a big update, at the moment I'm without my PC, so I can't go very far, but I have 2 maps from Episode 1, and 2 from Episode 2 running successfully.... Portal is already running all (missing models and textures).... When I get another PC I will start making optimizations on the episode 2 maps to be able to run them all on the Xbox with a good frame rate and all the content (or almost everything).

  22. Once again, only my opinion: I don't see what the point of simulating an XCM is. I would honestly rather have a unique, pure Xbox shell that nobody else has. I say it's perfect the way it is. XCM was meant as a fresh replacement for an old shell. You HAVE a perfect shell. I say keep it.

  23. I'm not sure, you could try the Pico firmware and see. If there's an issue with that board, it would be routing for gpio 0 and 1 not being impedance matched, so if it doesn't work you could also try putting 27 or 22 ohm (or around that) resistors in series on the data +/- lines before the USB A host port and see if that helps

  31. If I had to guess I would say it needs a recap. So replacement of the capacitors. You can lookup and buy kits for this or order them individually on their own. Sounds like by power it on and off multiple times before getting it to boot is charging the capacitors enough to give it some life but once you turn it off they start to drain and once drained the problem returns. I could however be wrong and the issue might be something else. I did have an old TV like this though that I found on the side of the road. If I plugged it in after being unplugged it would not turn on right away. After some time of being plugged in the set would turn itself on and work until power was removed. Then the problem would then repeat. I eventually replaced a bad capacitor and the problem was solved.

I get way too much satisfaction taking these things apart and detailing them. @Bowlsnapper I should probably go ahead and get a startech adapter housing from you, but I’d rather wait for the clear version also. Guess I can hold off on that one part for now as it would be the easiest thing to swap out, being right on top. Should have a finished product tonight.

  41. It has 2 512KB sized banks. You can flash any 256KB or 512KB modified Xbox BIOS to it. PrometheOS, SmartXXOS, XeniumOS, etc. are modchip control firmware which won't work. The latest BIOS is CerBIOS. It is a 256KB modifed Xbox BIOS. Edit: Which modified Xbox BIOS to flash to the modchip depends on which Xbox version you have. Not all modified Xbox BIOSes work on v1.6 consoles.

  42. Hotswap method is not highly recommended. It’s best to go ahead with a softmod and then proceed to FTP the eeprom backup files to your PC in labeled folders to keep track of which Xbox they’re for. The softmod tools will indeed make a backup, but only to a folder within the Xbox. So that’s why you need to move them to a pc. Those eeprom files allow you to either build a new HDD for repair, or recover an old one that may have been messed up by accident. Looks like you e a good plan going so far.

  43. Speak of the Devil. Integrated Elpis HD and Xblast Aladdin/Jafar Support... as well as efficient HDD unlocking. I want to try buying some HDD lots and seeing if I can find any gold. Open-source is proving to be quite competitive for not making anybody any money. "Life... Will find a way..." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PrometheOS, the trailblazing custom operating system for Xenium/OpenXenium and Aladdin Chips, has just unveiled its latest version, V1.2.0. This release heralds a significant expansion in compatibility and features, setting a new benchmark in the modding community's capabilities. What's New in V1.2.0: Expanded Modchip Support: Now includes support for XBlast Aladdin/Jaffar-based modchips, specifically targeting 1MB 49LF080(A) flash chips. Crucial Fixes for Xenium Chips: Addressed and resolved an issue where PrometheOS was not working on some genuine Xenium chips. VSC Unlocking Feature: Introduces the ability to unlock any OEM OG Xbox drive, even without a known HDD key or if it's not paired with the console. This is a significant breakthrough especially when it comes to DLC Preservation of orphaned drives. It can take up to 20+ seconds to complete. HDD Lock/Unlock Efficiency: Improvements in the speed of HDD locking and unlocking. Custom Fan Speed Control: Users can now set custom fan speeds directly within PrometheOS. Additional Audio Options: Adds volume control for background music and sound effects, giving users more customization over their theme. Integration of Elpis HD: For those with Cerbios HD-enabled BIOS, Elpis HD is now integrated into PrometheOS. UI and Navigation Improvements: Upgrades to the default UI colors for both the skin and Web UI, along with enhanced menu navigation that remembers your last position, make for a more streamlined interface. Community and Collaboration: Welcoming Phantom: The team is excited to introduce Phantom, the newest member of the PrometheOS team. Their fresh perspectives and contributions are eagerly anticipated. Acknowledgment to the Xbox Preservation / XCAT Team: A heartfelt shoutout is extended to these dedicated individuals for their commitment to preserving Xbox DLC.

Looking Forward: PrometheOS V1.2.0 heralds a significant milestone in Xbox modding, introducing expanded chip support and innovative features within an open-source framework that broadens the community's modding capabilities. This dedication to pioneering open-source development, combined with the continued support and contributions from the community, paves the way for a bright future in Xbox preservation and customization.

  44. Just wanted to show off the newly printed X3 Bank Select Buttons without starting a new topic. They look much better than the resin I was using and I think they look better than the stock white buttons, honestly.

  47. 1. Correct. Get those things out of the 1.0-1.1 and 1.3-1.4 boards ASAP. 2. Just do it beforehand. It’s not like they’re going to blow up the Xbox, but might as well since it’s in the game plan anyway. 3. There’s been some recent changes to how soft mods operate. FTP could be possible, but I’ll let someone else chime in on this one. There are no alterations made to the HDD besides adding a couple of files to support the mod. You can much more easily grab the data off of them after they’re modded. Wether soft or hard mod. 4. Answered in #3 5. If you have SSDs lying around then go for it. I personally wouldn’t recommend going to buy one. This is a huge debate within the community. I’ll let you delve more into that with a YouTube video or something. At the end of the day, XBOX was made in 2001 for IDE drives. They’re just not made to utilize the full capabilities of an SSD. The rest is sort of user preference. Hard mods are all around a better type of mod, but soft mods are excellent for casual users that are only going to play emulators and some Xbox games. Nulling your HDD key is an easy way to not forget your password and give the ability to use that drive in another nulled console with little to no issue. As long as the drive is locked(Soft mods require a lock). If you label the drive for the Xbox it came out of, then there is no real advantage to nulling. It’s also worth noting that nulling the drive can render some existing game saves, useless. That can require another process of resigning your game saves to get them to work again. Edit: I forgot to say DEFINITELY backup those drives. There is a community database with tons of game files for extra content like DLC for maps and other cool stuff. I don’t know where right off hand, but there is a list of things that are still being looked for and you may have some of it.

  48. When I was interested in a full 3D game engine for the OG Xbox, I wanted to do a simple technique that Conker Live and Reloaded did with facial expressions. The mouths where 3D, but the eyes where 2D textures with 2 stages. It's not shape group based (I think) but uses bones for the mouths and textures for eyes like the outside and the inside of them. There might be an 8 for this. When I finish my own skinned mesh renderer and animator then I will do this. Seems to be the best looking way to me. Lipsync Oh Wow.mp4
