I started working on another one and it has an Xecuter 2.0 Lite chip. It says Xecuter2 under the X at boot, but boots to the stock dash. I've held Power and Eject for a few seconds each at boot, but no change. What's my next step? I thought holding one of the power buttons was the way to do it. I'll add pics soon. Removing the Bios jumper makes it FRaG with no A/V. Removing the On/Off jumper defaults to the stock bios, stock dash. Removing the Flash jumper has no effect.

Hi, I was wondering if the installation of a mobile Pentium III 1333 MHz would be possible in an og Xbox. This would be a lot easier, since you wouldn't have to use an interposer and modify the heatsink. Has anyone tried this set?

Wanted to use a Crystal case for a project I have coming up. Anybody help me? Also looking for a blue case of any kind.

I've had these ol' boys stashed away for a really long time now. I wonder if they still work? I also have all the cables, switches and everything for a few of them still.

First of all, how are you all? I have been away for like 2 years, but this forum has been for me, one of the of the most welcome and good vibes forum ever for me! I didn't know where to post this, but here we go: If anyone knows me (and most of us) I have done everything to make my OG Xbox look amazing! I built my own Xbox Component cable with a 360 original component cable, and since then I have the most amazing looking image, plus using Xbmc4gamers, I remove the flicker filtering or put it very low (around 1 or 2) and I am seeing this console as sharp as it can...

Soooooooo I started to attempt the 128mb ram mod myself today. I was using a mix of soldering iron and hot air but after painstakingly getting the first chip lined up perfectly, then soldered on, TWICE and then both times it ending up ever so slightly out of line.... I BOTTLED IT, removed the chip, cleaned up and put away all the equipment. I clearly don't have the patience or a steady enough hand to do this mod I am now looking for anyone in the UK who can do this mod for me. I will happily pay for the service. Its a 1.4 console. So no stacking needed. Anyone out there...

Is there a way to make a custom screensaver? I see options for a possible fanart slideshow but it's grayed out and I can't seem to figure out how to enable that.

As the title says. I have a console that sometime experiences a random power down. I have left the console running for ages on its own and the power down has not happened, then I have been just flicking around in PrometheOS or XBMC4Gamers for a few moments and the console has shut down. This console has been recapped and has no issues booting up at all. However the controller I have been using has a split in the cable right at the top where it joins the cable relief before going into the controller itself. Could this cause a short that causes the console to power down. I am running...

Hi, all I have modded a xbox with an flashable aladin modchip, every thing was fine, flash cerbios, the install xmbc for gamers, give back the xbox to the owner, he was happy. He notice after a few weeks that he got like some wave in the screen, so I search to find that could be from bad caps so he take me back is xbox to check it out. I take it appart to check if I see bad caps and I see nothing, I put back together the xbox and now it's booting and stuck on cerbios screen and when I try to boot with eject it's stuck on cerbios safe mode screen. What could do that and what I could do...

Hi everyone. I have a Phillips DVD drive that i have taken apart, cleaned and replaced the belt on. When i slide the tray all the way in, the laser mechanism doesn't "engage" (not sure about the correct term, but it doesn't move up like it should to read a disc if a disc is placed in). I manually slide the black plastic part at the front to get the laser to move up, but sliding the tray back and forwards won't do it on its own. If i plug this back in, when i open the drive, and try to close again, the laser still won't engage, and the drive just pops back out and stays out. If i leave...

Well, I built the encoder. L2 is a little crooked, but I'm lazy, so fuck it for now. I'm about to hook it up, so with me luck! @lopenator

https://www.amazon.com/Card-Adapter，SD-Memory-Adapter-Converter/dp/B08SK4G7RP So why not? With a CD drive delete and no ide cable this would create lots of room for mods . And being able to take out the SD and load stuff seems faster. And is cheaper than most of the HDD options .

Any help on how I go about adding multi disc games for the PSX emulator while still having the menu only show the single game and artwork for it as a selection? Would I just name a single folder after the game and have the various ISO's inside it? Since the only way the art will attach is if the file is named the same as the artwork. I can't seem to find a decent guide for making this work.

Probably an HDD issue but not sure what I can do .. My Xbox has a xecuter 2 modchip and when I flip a switch this insert CD screen appears. 3 switches with one of them opening this screen..I am no expert with that modchip but can this help?

I went to the website and there's a PS1 system link on there under the "Download > Extras" but it seems the links are dead or something. The artwork can still be grabbed on the downloader dash at least. Any help would be great!

Hi, I've just installed XBMC4GAMERS and updated it. I've tried downloading a few applications using the downloader feature on the dashboard, but when i go to open the "Applications" option on the dashboard home screen, i get an error saying "Remote Share: Path not found or invalid". I have saved the application folders to E:/XBMC4Gamers/Apps Does anybody have any idea what I could be doing wrong?

So I'm finally upgrading the HD in my second OGXBOX. After initial issues, I was able to get HeXen2018 to load. I went through the process and chose to have the whole ~1TB for the F. After the process was complete and I booted up into UnleashX I noticed the f drive wasn't showing the full space. In fact it's a hell of a lot smaller than expected. Instead of the ~1TB it's showing 123,408.52 MB for the F. I attached a picture below. Thoughts? FYI it's hard modded with a Xenium ICE.

Hi all, I'm hoping there's a reasonably simple way to add CoinOPS launch icon alongside the Applications, Games, Emulators folders/icons on the Root of the dashboard? I've tried adding the source to have the CoinOPS icon (folder) appear on Root, next to the Applications, Games and Emulators icons. Then within the CoinOPS folder I created a shortcut .xbe within its own folder that points to the defaultsplash.xbe used by CoinOPS, this does point to and loads CoinOPS from its actual location but is a bit messy imo. I also don't know how to create an icon picture for this, within Xbe...

First of all... I absolutely love this site & community. You all rock. Period. Grab some popcorn, this is the fist 'official' time I'm telling the "brief" version... So my name's Toby Dziubala and I was the most junior member of the very original handful of people who were on the "Xbox Advanced Technology Group" or "ATG" group. Through a series of wild twists of fate, I was hired sometime in late 1999, when it was only about maybe 10 of us. I worked directly for Seamus Blackley, who interviewed me, and I was working shoulder-to-shoulder with Drew Angeloff. My first...

It was booting OK before I removed the 3 old capacitors near the CPU/Power connector, also the clock battery. I replaced the 3 capacitors and now get this issue (see attached video with sound stutter at the end). I have removed/replaced all 3 capacitors again, also tried mounting them on the underside of the motherboard for testing loose out of case, but get the exact same results, even doing them 1 at a time etc. I have visually checked the board front and back for solder splashes, trace rot and other abnormalities with magnifying glass, everything looks great! I have had this issue on a...

Hello everyone! This is my first attempt TSOPing an ogxbox and I have a problem. I am running a 1.4 (I guess) with a winbond chip, which I successfully softmodded with the endgame exploit and rocky5's softmodding tool. I have also removed the clock capacitor. I have done the wiring work in order to TSOP (I used copper tape instead of solder, pics below) which I double checked with a polymeter. According to the cerbios manual, In order to flash a winbond chip, you need to use xblastos. So the options I am selecting from the ogxbox cerbios disc v2.3.2 are -...

I am so angry. I was convinced that the traces on the motherboard on my Xbox were fine, and it was that board. But no. The light doesn’t show up, and the power button is finicky. All that I’m left with is an Xbox with messed up plastic, and a hand that’s dying from how hard it was to get the face plate off. If it’s the traces, then that means I have to buy Conductive Glue (Not Soldering), a Multimeter, and some wires. So, any advice. Remember, it’s not only the LED, but also the Power button.

Hello there! So I have tried various versions of Snes9, the art downloader (also manually inserting), trial and error image file inserting and deleting, etc. I cannot for the life of me get a nice background image to popup only on SNES9XBOX. All other emulators have nice backgrounds. I have enabled recourses, taken that off, refreshed a dozen times, rebooted. Any help would be awesome, thanks in advance.

I need to look at the Power/Eject board on my Xbox. But before that I need to get off the front panel. And OH. MY. GOD. This is SO hard! I tried just pulling up on the three clips, prying the face plate off with a screw driver, or even doing both, but nothing! I took off the controller ports too, but still! What on god am I doing wrong?

So I hadn’t done this mod before and figured Id send it. Unfortunately I set a chip kinda off center and when I tried to fix it just created more issues for myself. I sadly damaged one of the legs pads on the chip next to the power by the CPU caps. The system kinda try’s to power on but it is only by slight fan movement over the heatsink (it’s a v1.1) then it turns off. It was doing this prior so it’s not acting worse. I plan to go back and look for solder splashes/bridging. Im worried though that the damaged caused will prevent it from ever working even if I do fix and potential bridges. I...
