Hey guys, all my original controllers are out of commission for now unless until i can fix them, if i even can. I have a few 3rd party controllers but all the joysticks just feel awful, i don't know if its the dead zone or the sensitivity or both but wow they just do not feel good. Anyone know a way to help with this? I dont know if i can install some other joysticks or if its possible to modify the ones in them already or what. Honestly might just be time to buy or build that wireless xbox360 controller mod.

Wow i never knew you could do that, this changes everything lol all my games have just been sitting on my pc cuz i didnt want to take the time to FTP em.

I wish i had more confidence in my skills, i want to get one and try it out but i dont know if i can actually install it without messing it up lol. I am interested to see the results though.

Dave is the man, he helped me when i ripped up my trace. Good luck man hopefully you can get er goin again.

Well big surprise but the right tools for the job makes it alot easier and better. Boots and everything now im going to go through and clean everything proper and it should be good to go.

Well thats my temp fix till i get the proper wire and stuff. It actually broke off but it did boot up.

Wait it actually works now...i actually did it hah. Yeah so its just gonna sit here till i get the proper wire and stuff but its on the right track. Amazon should have it here monday so now i really excited i may actually get this done.

Well i probably bricked this poor thing, tried to fix that D0 and when i was soldering by the capacitor i pulled the trace up off it, tried to get it all back together but it still does the same thing as when i started. Guess i wont be doing anymore hardmods but at least it was an interesting project, even if i failed.

Yeah idk every guide i looked up said to solder it to a ground and not the chip because it doesn't work well on the chip. Ill be cleaning the entire board once i get it running properly hopefully i can get it going thanks guys ill let ya know how it goes.

There ya go, i removed the mod chip and got the same error, didn't do anything with the D0 yet. Probably whats wrong though it looks terrible.

So i got everything installed and i get the xbox trying to boot 3x (i can see the fan on the gpu spinning) then it flashes red/green and no more fan spinning on gpu but it sounds like my hdd is still going. No picture at any point. I had alot of issues with soldering the D0 point and if im being honest i dont know if its soldered to a proper ground or not i put it to one of the bigger square pads on the motherboard. Also when soldering the D0 point i coudnt get any solder to stay and i couldn't really even see the point anymore so i went above it to another point and scraped off some of the solder mask that was on it and soldered there instead, i was hoping that since it was on the same trace it would work the same but i doubt it works like that. This is the exact chip i used and its a version 1.0 xbox. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GWQXP62/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

You thinking of selling the clear or orange one? I don't need any of the original cases.

Alternatively if anyone knows pricing on some aftermarket cases id be interested to know aswell.

Hi looking to buy some cheaper cases for my 2 xboxes, i don't need anything crazy but it seems like the ghostcases seem kinda flimsy and break a lot so i figured id see what you guys have to offer. Trying to spend less than 50 USD per case and id be happy buying even just 1 dont really need the 2 unless its for cheap ya know.

Well it worked finally idk if it was the drive or the adapter but its going good now. I really shoulda got the Startech adapter from the start its much better and comes with a splitter even. I think im going to try to use other drive i have in my other xbox and use the Startech to clone it then try to switch over to the cheap one to use after.

Yea i cant get anything to work so i just got a new hard drive, adapter, 80 wire cable, and a molex splitter. Figure ill just start from scratch cuz im tired of trying to get this to work ha.

It was the recent version of chimp, i re downloaded and tried again with the same results. I am powering my hard drive with a pc that i got for free and just did the paper clip trick with it to get the psu to power the hard drive without needing to power the mobo of the computer. Could this be my problem maybe?

Should i just buy a startech adapter and try again? Dont really want to wait for delivery if i can do this with stuff i already have.

So ive been trying to clone my original xbox hard drive over to a wd1600aajs hard drive and i cannot get it to work. I have to set my jumper to slave to even get chimp to boot right, this is the adapter i used people said it worked for them in the comments and i wasn't really trying to spend the like 25 bucks for a good one. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JVUXMRI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Just a heads up i just got an xbox from someone i know for 10 bucks and used the cd drive from that ha. Now i just wait for the rest of my parts to come in the mail!

Trying to do my first softmod and all is going well except my xbox refuses to actually read my disk so i cant load the save game to get the process going. Anyone got any tips for me to get it to read? This should hopefully be the last time it needs to read a disk so i just need it to work once really.

I also have just joined and have a fresh xbox ready to soft mod but i need to make 3 posts to download some files.
