  1. I just finished my Xbox port of Celeste Classic so thought I would share. This is my first Original Xbox port, so it's not the best port, and it can have problems. https://github.com/danielgpinheiro/ccleste-xbox

  3. Yes, last year my main xbox's psu started overheating followed by the same symptoms. The fault was not with my mainboard, I verified this by swapping in a known working psu. So if you have another psu, find out. And technically it's not a "FRAG" by the way.

  4. This is the newest version of the installer and is the one I would use. I would select "DHCP and no BFM" at the beginning as long as you are running Cerbios already.

  5. I highly recommend checking out OperationSports.com forum, we've found several original Xbox Live official roster updates there and they definitely have skilled roster modders in their ranks.

  6. RAM chip 3 was the culprit. Reflowed with lots of flux. It would boot with pressure applied to the top of the case. I was able to hold the pressure and test with xblast. #3 was giving me fits, but the no boot was due to a bad job on chip #1. Chip #1 had a slight bridge and would fail sporadically, and chip #3 needed a reflow. In the times I have done this, it definitely wont test or boot if the first chip isnt done right. So if you are like me and do all 4 at once and dont get a boot, check chip #1 first. Also, the boards I have done have been 1.0-1.4. Chips from AliExpress and drag solder with lots of flux.

  12. I’ve always been partial to the paste flux over liquid. That’s just a preference of mine. I also usually tell people who are starting out to go with a paste or gel type until they really get the hang of it. When people start out with liquid (having never used anything else) I think they tend to not use enough of it. IMO.

  13. Ok so I totally messed up this Xbox. It's so mint and it's a crystal edition. I modded it with a Smart XX mod chip and 400GB IDE Hard-Drive. I made it so I can easily unplug the mod chip and install the original Hard-Drive if I ever wanted to bring it back to original. Everything was working well. All I was doing was finishing it up. I'm upset because I cannot get it to work again and I am hoping someone here can help. Long story short, I had the Xbox open and the Hard-Drive was removed, I was going to re-install the Hard-Drive after copying a bunch of DATA to it and then it happened, I dropped the end of the IDE cable onto the power supply and seen a small puff of smoke. Yes, I had the power plugged in......big mistake.....rookie mistake..... I really don't want to "replace" the motherboard with another one. That's the lazy way and it won't be "original".... so please help if you have the knowledge and experience replacing major components on original Xbox motherboards. The voltage from the power supply spiked through one of the pins on the IDE cable. I know which one if it helps.... Ended up Killing the Phillips DVD drive and the main Xbox motherboard. Took apart the DVD drive. I figured, I'll take the lazy way and replace the mainboard in the DVD drive and call that a day. Maybe fix the original one later. Now I still have the dead motherboard. I found one of the pins from the IDE port leading to the MCPX 3 South Bridge (Korea) was shorted. I don't have any schematics for this unfortunately, maybe someone could help with those. The line that is shorted I have removed the components causing the short. I removed RP6T1 and the MCPX 3 South Bridge. I have a 1.2v A38727-012 motherboard I am using for parts. I moved the RP6T1 and the MCPX 3 South Bridge (Taiwan) over to the "dead motherboard". Now the Xbox turns on and boots but will not complete. I am stomped with error 13 with the mod chip/400gb HDD setup. With the Hard-Drive un-plugged it gets error 07. Boots into my Smart XX bios. But that's it. Won't boot from a HeXEn DVD either.... With mod chip unplugged and with the original Hard-Drive, it gets the same error 13. Basically I know it's not an issue with the Hard-Drive's, or mod chip. I tested the mod chip and Hard-Drive in another Xbox 1.4v. I also checked all my solder work. The MCPX 3 worked fine on the parts motherboard... I tried a different DVD drive, DVD power cable, IDE cable, Xbox PSU. The motherboard still has an issue. I just don't know if there is anything special I have to do after swapping a MCPX 3. I know in newer motherboard of PC, that when changing a south bridge that the ME region has to be cleaned. I just don't have a lot of experience with PC's older than 2008. Is the MCPX 3 from the 1.2v not compatible on the 1.4v? I am pretty sure they are both the same part.. Only difference is where they were manufactured.

  14. I agree with @Bowlsnapper. If it does this at startup, the chip needs to be replaced. The System Management Controller (SMC) - the PIC processor on v1.0-1.4 motherboards or Xyclops chip on v1.6s - handles the overheating condition at a hardware level. It flashes the eject ring LED orange and spins the fan(s) up to max speed to cool the system. If the temperature reading does not go down the SMC shuts off the console. The front panel buttons do not respond after the overheating condition has been sensed by the SMC. Edit: A damaged trace from the CPU's temp diode to the ADM1032 temp sensor or from the sensor to the SMC could cause a false overheating condition to be sensed. As well, leaked clock cap electrolyte under the chip that cannot easily be cleaned without removing the chip could cause the error to occur.

  15. Depends on the size. See below. 64 GB (with 4 KB clusters) 128 GB (with 8 KB clusters) 256 GB (with 16 KB clusters) 512 GB (with 32 KB clusters) 1 TB (with 64 KB clusters) 2 TB (with 128 KB clusters) 4 TB (with 256 KB clusters) 8 TB (with 512 KB clusters) 16 TB (with 1 MB clusters) It would be interesting to know if any partitions have an ER next to them though. I’ve seen weird stuff happen loading games from a hdd partition with errors. Haven’t seen the dirty disc error but black screens and crashes I have. Anyway, that’s just my first thought in easy things to check.

  16. Always nice to see new developments for the OG Xbox! I've actually wanted to mess with porting OoT (Ship of Harlinian) and SM64 with the co-op mod, decompressed audio, and fancy model/texture upgrades, but have a whole lot of nothing in regards to knowledge needed to make them happen (ᗒᗣᗕ)՞

  19. 1. Do you have multiple profiles? If not, there is an option to Auto Login as well as hide profile pic, so it boots straight to the dash. 2. I still have square blocks for loading. 3. You can rename your artwork for those folders. Just need a poster.jpg, synopsis.jpg, and an alt_synopsis.jpg. If you want background art, then add fanart.jpg. 1a. If you don't need two profiles, enable Auto Login and hide profile pic. Use audio settings in main dash. If you have a startup playlist, just press X at boot to show media controls, Right Thumb Up/Down controls volume. Dpad Up/Down switches between Pause/Stop. 2a. I've never tried visualizations, but just did and I don't see the media player controls during screensaver. Right Thumb Up/Down controls volume, and Right Thumb Left/Right seeks. Pressing B during visualization stops my playlist also, but it's my first time using it. Not sure what all it used to do. I noticed that if you use the Fanart screensaver, pressing B doesn't stop the playlist, but Right Thumb deactivates screensaver, unlike visualization. 3a. Never heard of Opus. Here is his Theme template for Gamers.

  21. Rename those long-named folders to something much shorter. For example: Doom 2 Minor Sprite Fixing Project v2 to simply Doom 2 Sprite Fix and Vanilla Smooth Weapons to VSW, etc. There's most likely a limit to the length of the arguments in the cut file settings.

  24. Fuck the wires and shrinkwrap. That's retarded. I wire up the negative so I can anchor the LED in place with the resistor. MUCH easier to anchor from one hard point instead of between two hard points. I make sure it all fits under and within the metal shielding.

  26. I ended up copying the XBMC folder that is used as an app into the C drive then using Rocky5's dashloader from Xbox-Softmodding-Tool pointed the custom dash to the proper .xbe file. The dvd drive no longer works as I would of used the slayer 2.7 installer disc to change the default dashboard. I did however backed everything up using fatxplorer just incase I could not ftp into the xbox. Hopefully I can still ftp and use insignia I will find out in a day or two that is usually when the xbox resets itself.

  27. Hello! For those people with a Xenium modchip, I have made an open source recreation of a legacy adaptor that allowed you to use extremely common and cheap HD44780 compliant character LCD displays with the Xenium modchip SPI interface. The legacy adaptor was called 'SPI2PAR' and has long since been out of production and extremely hard to come by. The old website actually still works for now (http://cheaplpc.com/xenlcd/) if you want to see what it was all about. This design and info is all on my github page https://github.com/Ryzee119/spi2par2019 It does everything the old one does I believe (although I never had one), but it also can read the Xbox SMBus directly with a couple extra wires to the LPC header for temperatures from the ADM1032 onboard temperature chip and fan speed which are displayed and updated on the LCD mid-game. It can also read the Conexant and Focus video chips to work out was resolution your game is running at which is displayed on the LCD aswell. (This doesnt work on a 1.6 though due to the Xcalibur chip) XBMC can already display these, but these extra SMBus features will only apply when you're in a game or program that doesn't normally support LCD. Works best on a 20x4 character display.

  29. I'm not sure about that, is there a host that puts the 8bitdo into pairing mode as soon as you plug it in? I've always had to press the button.l, at some point I could maybe try sending random packets to it and see what it does.

  30. 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:

  34. Aha! No, its okay, Ive got 3 boxes - two are softmodded, so I just stole the HDD from one of those and changed the lock to my main box’s eeprom in fatxplorer - just to give me something to boot from - as soon as i flashed the TSOP i went back to my main HDD thats set up for a hardmod. Is true open xenium or similar is probably the way to go, but I also nerd out repairing amigas, C64s and the like so a more generic eeprom programmer will probably be more useful for me in other ways too… but yeah, money allowing, i’ll get both! ta!

  35. ... Wait, so he ISN'T trolling? What kind of millionaire xbox collector have you guys ever heard of? "Just add to cart and buy it you will not regret it." " Just click and buy it." - Bro, it's 100,000 dollars. I don't think a bank will even approve a transaction that large through ebay. That's a hell of an impulse purchase. "If I want to take less than my asking price I will lower the price." HAHAHAHAHAHAHA...WOW. I think you'll be doing that if you want to actually sell it. This poor man is suffering from "I-know-what-I-have-disease".

  36. Thank you for the kind offer, I'll take you up on that if my 18 inch doesn't work/not long enough. Yes we have Amazon warehouses/facilities and Amazon lockers all over the place, none the less Amazon Canada kind still sometimes be a big rip off compared to the US version. So in Canada that 24 inch cable is actually $35 cad plus tax, the 18 inch is $10 cad plus tax. Don't know how a 33 percent longer cable warrants over 3x the price but supply and demand I guess. That same 24 inch cable on US Amazon is $10 US plus $10 US shipping to me so that would be like $27 cad (product plus shipping), still cheaper than Canadian Amazon though takes longer to get off course. On another note, of course Best Buy didn't have the 10 pack DVD-R for $5.99 in stock, so ordered a Verbatim DVD-R 50 pack for $24 cad on Amazon. That should last me for the rest of my life lol

  38. So the FRAGing (flashing red and green) when d0 is grounded means it is either the soldering (probable) or bad chip. Your soldering after second time looks better… but could still be the issue. I hesitate asking you to keep trying because you could burn up the pads with too much heat. You really need some flux. I wouldn’t recommend trying without flux. Is the hard drive locked? Do you have an EEPROM backup?

  42. Welcome. I've used a pack of 50 Memorex DVD-R's since the days of SID and never had an issue. I would just ftp over the Extras Disc and run as a virtual disc. Download and extract Rocky's Extras Disc Attacher. Place the Extras Disc.iso in this folder, and ftp it to your App/Applications folder. It should say 'place extras disc in here'. Restart the xbox and run it. There will be Upgrade/Update options, since you're already on Rocky's, choose Update. As for Chimp, I really prefer FatXplorer3Beta on PC, if you can hook up your stock hdd to it. I use the Startech USB 2.0 adapter, but use direct Sata for larger ones. Since you're Samsung, there are reports of issues with the recommended Startech sata adapter. I've used this cable 4 times, and it's worked great, snug fit.

  43. Just got this setup with XB1X pad and the 8Bitdo v2 adaptor. But one thing that's an issue is I need to press the sync button on it to wake it up when I power the xbox. Any way to make it auto wake? (search on boot) Also thank you for doing this, amazingly simple to get working. (hold boot, copy uf2 to mass storage and done)

  44. Correct. Higher bitrates mostly, which leads to less macro-blocking artifacts in HD videos. It's mostly the CPU upgrade that helps with this. My 1.4ghz / 128mb Xbox still has about 70MB of RAM free when using this profile, so it's not hitting a memory limit.

  45. Version 0.2b: Added initial support for starting playback partway through a video. When playing a video that was already in progress, XBMC now starts playback at the correct time. This doesn't seem to affect all videos, further testing is needed to determine why and target those codecs/containers/etc. XBMC now displays the correct length of the currently playing video. XBMC can now fast-forward/rewind in currently playing videos. Transcoded videos are delivered over TS streams (instead of MKV). Changed profile identification. New builds of XBMC in the future (beyond 3.5.3) should now work with this profile. Beginning to add support for Photos. Doesn't work yet. To-do: Fix thumbnails for media in XBMC. Not sure if thumbnails being sent by server are too large or what. Profile has a spot for "MaxAlbumArtWidth" and I tried setting this to 192 (the size XBMC uses for its own thumbnails), but I'm pretty sure this only affects music. I don't see an overall thumbnail size setting. Figure out why DLNA folder browsing doesn't work. Jellyfin handles "special" libraries in a certain way that XBMC doesn't like, including Movies, Shows, Music. Browsing Photos directories (and other basic library types) works. Settings RequiresPlainFolders and RequiresPlainVideoItems to true doesn't seem to help. A lot of testing is still needed. There is a huge variety of content that JF supports. Need to dial in exactly what XBMC supports and ensure transcoding or direct-play happens properly. Need to test: HDR, high framerate videos, high bit depth videos, Atmos, and many others. Create versions of profile targetting 1.4ghz / 128mb upgraded motherboards. Testers needed! XBMC4Xbox-v0.2b.xml

Thanks bud. 128MB ram and custom power on off sounds, led strips + led ring. 16tb has XBMC4Gamers Dragon 4TB build and I added to it and changed it to start in XBMX4GAMERS instead of dragon at boot. Dragon is a cerbios hdd - So yeah I got cerbios going with stellar hd+ but had to strip the cci games out and use folder method on this one.

  47. I found this and thought it would potentially make a nice jewel backlight. They are paper thin, 10cm x 10cm EL panels. They are cheap and simple. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000511081220.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.3cc67ef9BTKbRB&algo_pvid=70858ccc-5276-4812-92bf-166bf11b0c47&algo_exp_id=70858ccc-5276-4812-92bf-166bf11b0c47-8&pdp_ext_f={"sku_id"%3A"12000019280130651"}&pdp_npi=2%40dis!CAD!!12.2!!!!!%402101d91e16555800182977430ed7b3!12000019280130651!sea There is a little inverter for the panel, but its small enough to fit behind the harddrive. Its powered by the extra molex connector on the startech ide to sata board. They come in 3.3v, 5v, and 12v. I got a few 5v panels, and a few 12v panels, since thats the available power from the molex. I thought maybe 12v would be brighter, but no, its the same. The panels are all the same. Its only the inverter that is different. Some 12v panels I ordered came with a slightly larger inverter that will not fit in behind the harddrive. So, if you order one of these, make sure its the small inverter that is included.

  49. use an eprom (27C2001/27C020 or bigger) or flashrom (29F020 or bigger) connect pins 22, 24 and 31 of the eprom to GND (pin 16 of the eprom). you might have to connect 31 to 5V (pin 32) if you are using a flashrom. Reset is A18 on this diagram. FOR XBOX v1.0/v1.1 The two unused points are only two additional Adress-Lines for the Chip (with which you can access everything beyong 256 kByte) ... so they are NOT needed. FOR XBOX v1.2/v1.3 (Thanks to D-BlooD who posted this diagram on forums.xbox-scene.com) FOR XBOX v1.4/v1.5 (Thanks to pcmerc who posted this diagram on forums.maxconsole.com) WE is the location you jump on the bottom of the board along with the other point on top that is standard on all motherboards. These are the write enable for reflashing the TSOP. Pad 33 is also known as link to 32 in previous pinouts.
