Hi everyone. I'm posting now hoping to get some help with my Xbox. I haven't used it for 5 years and I took it out again 3 days ago and now it started doing what's in the video (link at the bottom): the image glitches and goes black. When this happens, the power and eject buttons do not work at all and the only way to turn it off is to unplug it from the socket. By the way, it's a v1.1 XBox. If anyone has any idea what could be the problem, I'd appreciate the help. Here's a link to a video showing the issue: https://streamable.com/rsie40

I’ve got a weird one here. I’m repairing another lot and I’ve run across an odd one. It was a stock 1.6 that gave about 2 seconds of flubber sound before it cuts out and no video at all. It’s not throwing any errors after leaving it on for a few minutes. Still has a solid green light. I popped in a mod chip and still the same result. Then I starting a few tests. All tests were run with and without a chip. Here’s what I have tried so far. -Composite, component, and HDMI adapter all give same results -Built a new HDD for the mod chip -Changed the 5 caps near PSU (Clock cap...

Hello, I have a xbox 1.4 motherboard. Clock cap of course had leaked however console worked fine. I disassembled the xbox to remove the cap and clean the area. I noted before i started that the diodes and resistors just north of the cap had taken the brunt of the leak. with the transistor in the Q7f4 position having its top leg detached from board. and as I said xbox still worked fine. well while cleaning the cap off that transistor fell off. I don't think I have much hope of re soldering it back at my skill level. So to my question, seeing how the xbox still worked with that...

Hi, i have an 1.6 original xbox with some peculiar problems, first of all, i just got an OG controller, everytime the console is on idle on dashboard, when i try to connect my controller, the HDD shuts off randomly, and when i turn on the console with the controller already connected it just turns on fine, until i'm playing a game and the controller vibrates, the HDD goes off too, also something that i noticed is that, i can't even play a game anymore, everytime i put a disk on the dvd drive, guess what? the HDD also shuts off, the weirdest part is that when i use the generic controller that...

Hey there, a few years later I got my Xecuter3 stopped working flashing green/red. Got that chip since, what, 20 years? So okay, not great but, well... Luckily enough I had a left over from back then, so I swapped the modchip and everything goes well, back in business! Fast forward a few weeks ago, Xbox refused to boot (black screen, flashing red/green). Removing the modchip the Xbox I got the original dashboard back. Are those known to fail? the last one I used failed really fast! Given I have made the ram upgrade (128mb), what could be my option from...

I just got hold of an Xbox with a RAM upgrade. Opening the machine reveals traces of a modchip. The LPC pin header is installed and theD0 has solder leftovers from what I can only guess is a wire to ground. But as there is no modchip so the TSOP must have been flashed. The R7D1, R7D2 and R7D10 pads are also shorted. Booting the box shows what appears to be the stock flubber animation. It stutters a little and just before ending shows Xecutor2 with white letters at the bottom. Booting with no HDD gives this error message overview: What am I looking at here?

Hello... I wanted to see if my old box had some life in it's shell. I have the Xcecuter chip..and some games on a hdd. The box starts..I can start the games. For example Halo..it loads. I can chose a profile and it starts to load. Then it just goes black screen. I start Fable..it starts and I can see the intro. If I press A it just restarts the intro with the guy walking towards the screen. Is there a way to fix this or is it files corruption? Thx 😅

PCB files and BIOS patcher can be found on github: https://github.com/Prehistoricman/Xbox256MB/tree/master Upgraded Xblast OS can be found on bitbucket: README and Downloads The new Xblast OS comes with a RAMTESTER variant that lets you test the stock set of 4 chips. This can be useful even for a typical 128MB mod when things go wrong and the Xbox won't boot normal Xblast. MachoNacho already did a tutorial on installing this upgrade: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2hvSL30Rlg So here's a brief tutorial for installation. Tutorial Be aware this is an...

Hello, ladies and gentlemen, Apologies for my poor English, it's not my native language. I'm writing to you from Moldova. I am a happy owner of an original Xbox version 1.1, equipped with a DuoX3 modchip. I decided to upgrade the hard drive, replacing the original IDE with a SATA 500GB drive using a no-name adapter. The Xbox recognized the new SATA HDD. Using the TruHeXEn 2021 disk, I followed these steps: 3.TSOP Flashed / Chipped Xbox Tools 3.3 Chipped/Flashed Xbox Disk Upgrades 3.3.3 New Disk, NTSC Xbox The firmware installs...

From what I am gathering it's not looking like there's a way for this to work properly but I figured I'd ask around and see if it's possible. I'm assuming that's what the SD card slot is for? But is it actually supported yet? If not I'll just have to rebuild these SSD's after reformatting them for Stellar in FatXplorer.

Title is weird I know. Let me explain. Got an Xbox with faulty HDD. Installed OpenXenium chip (D0 on MB to D0 on chip) with PrometheOS 1.5.0. Installed 120GB SSD drive with a SATA/PATA adapter. Formatted HDD in PrometheOS. Copied evox dashboard and XBlast onto the console. Can boot into dashboard This is where I wanted to use XBlast to see if TSOP is writeable - but without writing to it. I know it doesn't matter with the stock BIOS. This is more a thing about trying random stuff for the fun of it. I get the "No valid Flash device Detected!!!" and I immediately...

I removed the arcade source button ages ago because I didn't need it at the time since I consolidated into just a simple Apps and Games source. How do I go about adding the Arcade source button again to place Coinops 8 inside of that? I tried adding source but it looks like it's just missing and I can't remember for the life of me what I did to even remove well over a year ago now.

Do any of You guys have the box art and dvd label for the TruHexen 2024 that You can share? Thanx - Janders

I'm simply curious. As I read and understand it the BIOS and kernel (in an unmodded vanilla MS Xbox) are both stored on the flash chip. To flash it with a custom bios I have to make it writable... How did MS update the kernel then back in the day? The dash I can understand since it's just a file on the harddrive.

Hi, I recently bought an Xbox, and I noticed that had EvolutionX installed. Being a very old softmod, I wanted to try to update it via the Disk Tools of Rocky5, but does not allow me to update, comes out a message that says ""Hacked Bios/Hardmodded mode" or similar, and nothing, do not make me update. I tried to ask for information on other forums, but more than answers have made me come further doubts and perplexity about the matter... I do not know anything with the scene modding xbox, I have always modified Nintendo consoles! Therefore, I apologize in advance if I improperly...

Quick question: Is it possible to just pop in a random HDD and format it on a hardmodded console? I have read that the Project Stellar chip have tools for it. Does cerbios (ChatGPT says so, but I have a hard time finding any information that verifies it)? Any other BIOS? Or does it require a modchip to have those kinds of capabilites? It's simply to avoid the hassle of using FATxplorer in a virtual machine and avoiding stress on the DVD drive.

Bonjour à tous, J'essaye de faire un rp2040-zéro avec Prometheos et Cerbios. Je peux récupérer les fichiers modxo, prometheos et cerbios. Cependant, je suis un peu perdu sur la façon de procéder. Dois-je installer Modxo puis prometheos et Cerbios ou puis-je installer Prometheos et Cerbios directement ? Je remercie d'avance ceux qui pourront m'aider.

I was attempting to upgrade my friends 1.0 xbox to 128mb, after successfully installing the 2 ram chips on the top of the xbox and testing them one at a time with xblast, I moved onto the bottom. I installed the 3rd ram chip and tested it with xblast and it was flashing red and orange, so after going over all the ram chips with my soldering iron this problem persisted. So I took the xbox home with me and removed the 3rd ram chip with hot air, and I noticed that a capacitor was missing, specifically C5T7 on the 3rd ram slot. So after finding the schematic for the ram and...

I've grown to really dislike Startech. The glitching with Samsung DVD drives, £20 price tag, that obnoxious double ended molex connector that gets in the way. I hate that it's considered the best one. I've had a few run ins with those terrible generic adaptors from Aliexpress too. Recently someone on Ebay has been selling modified generic adaptors that adds two resistors to improve boot times. It works great and doesn't have the problems Startech has. Trusted seller btw, have bought lots of custom Xbox sized 80 pin IDE from them before I plan to start selling modded Xboxs soon,...

Fixing a 1.0 and found this in it. Can't seem to find it on the modchip archive. No markings on the board that I can see.

Hi. By a chance does anyone have the top shell of the XCM Ruby Red case. I am ONLY looking for the top part (see picture). Mine has a small crack in it, that's why I'm looking.

I am seeking help from the Jedi xbox council So I have a v1.0 128 upgraded. Controllers were working no issue on stock dash and cerbios dash when I had my smartxx v3 chip installed.

I have switched ports I have switched daughter board. Same issue plus same on another xenium and a alladdin xt chip. But xenium os no issue with controllers at all.

wassup ogxbox gang I have taken on the task of doing a reproducing a limited batch of X3CP faceplates. I have already been pointed towards the right direction for making X3 chips/wiring and screens so i will end up including those too in the final product. There's a few 3d printed versions out there at the moment however the quality is pretty low in most in my opinion. I initially wanted to do 500 pieces but I would probably make a small batch of 50-150 first and might do another run in the future depending on demand. I am working on getting the correct colors...
