Pretty sure nobody posted it here already, but I designed this DVD SSD caddy thing a bit ago and wanted to add it to this thread. There's a decently detailed instruction manual in the project files on Printables

Rocky has been working on his version of Origins if you'd rather wait on that. Heres a video he put on xbox scene discord for X4G Theme channel. I've never fooled with Origins as I've only heard of issues, as it wasn't intended to be released in its current state. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1351888054633369661/1361439530221175085/2025-04-14_21-29-42.mp4?ex=6802b75e&is=680165de&hm=3ac6608b5f9eb3e85f3ca0bdc380b5d0d7950b5972fab6f4c702b9d611426a83&

Original Xbox HDD Upgrade – Need Advice Before I Start
Andrew smith replied to joloh's topic in General Xbox Discussion
First things first. What is the mfg date from label underneath console? This will determine if you can hard mod and upgrade ram with ease. Emulators are great but emu's and homebrew run way smoother with ram upgrade. -
Best Replacement Fan To Make XBox Run Quieter?
Andrew smith replied to Vulcan_Zombie's topic in Hardware Mods
Turn the volume up on the game you are playing, always remember the cooler the og xboxes run the longer they last. I have a cpu heatsink fan, a gpu heatsink fan , the stock case fan. It runs under game at 20c so I turn my Amp on and subwoofer- 24 replies

Best Replacement Fan To Make XBox Run Quieter?
trencherfield replied to Vulcan_Zombie's topic in Hardware Mods
You can squeeze an 80mm fan mod in them with a 'Be-Quiet' 80mm fan that has good CFM output, thereby doesn't have to run fast. Snip the metal grid cage away behind the fan, its restrictive and doesn't really affect the EMI by doing that. Reduces the noise as well coz the airflow is not hitting it then. You'll need to cut the plastic hard drive caddy a small amount at the back to fit it and remove the two fan posts by snapping them off. See guides.- 24 replies

Try EvoX M8 plus 1.6 BIOS on your chip and see if that exhibits the same issue.
-
Try the video settings for via Enigma and region, switch it back n forth from 480p/480i etc ntsc, pal, ntsc-j and see if it shifts it. Try a different bios for the 1.6 see if that helps.

Never really had any power issues, mine is also 1.6. Purchased it from eBay, had a dead hard drive, cd drive works fine. Modded it with Raspberry Pico/modxo/cerbios Couldn't really tell until I started a game, even the dashboard looked ok lol
-
Power supply may be on the way out and may have already caused issues to the motherboard. The original poster stated his also would not power up sometimes, dead give away on a v1.6 that. They don't suffer the front trace rot clock leak damage. The consoles are now getting very old and they are likely to start giving up the ghost in lots of aspects. You can try another v1.6 power supply or build one of the newly released USB-C power supplies for it and see if that helps. https://github.com/Redherring32/Xbox-USB-C-PSU Rev -121 is a v1.6 console.

Hi, did you ever get this resolved? I'm going through the same thing and ready to give up lol I replaced all caps, cleaned up the insides, repasted. Triple checked component cable, even made another cable and it still won't output any red (pr) signal.

which caps cause the wavey lines to go accross the screen?
Fringle replied to bulkchart32's topic in General Xbox Discussion
It’s definitely something to look into. If this wasn’t a free upgrade/repair for a friend I would for sure look into it. But since I’ve already upgraded the hdd, added a modchip, sata adapter and the Wii2hdmi free of cost I’m happy with the result as I’m sure they will also be. -
Absolutely agree, the wii2hdmi's aren't really known for their QC Just speaking anecdotally that a signal conditioner qsb fixed my image distortion in that particular instance. Could be something to look at once all other potential problems have been ruled out.

@bulkchart32 @ForceLikeObi Well it does work. Some people change it with an resistor, some with a LED. Of course a cap can also be used. I have done this on another 1.6 as well. Works like a charm @TinkerMods I changed the Power Supply with another 1.6 model which does work. With the same result. @MadmanMaddox I don't have the harddrive nor the DVD drive connected. I am going to order a capacitor tester. And going to redo the work. Remove all caps. Test them and install them. I'll keep you'll posted can take a while to complete.

@trencherfield I removed that little bridge but with no luck. I have solved the problem be ordering another OpenXenium chip and LPC Rebuild Board. I installed the LPC Rebuild Board and the original OpenXenium chip... without any luck. Same result. I switched the OpenXenium chips and everything came back to life Guess the OpenXenium chip has been bricked. Maybe because I shorted the Recovery pads while trouble shooting? I guess the handwired LPC I did, did work. But my modchip wasn't.

Goomy started following Original Xbox: Has my disk drive had it?

If you have any electronic repair experience, or feel like learning it, you can recap the drive circuit board. Pretty common failure with the OG Xbox. I'm currently in the process of doing it to 2 consoles myself!

Fringle replied to bulkchart32's topic in General Xbox Discussion
I have 2 1.0s with internal wii2hdmi and they have zero distortion in the image. It was also a while ago that I installed these and more recently the 1.4. It could come down to a lower quality batch of adapters as well. -
Just as some gee-wiz, and piggybacking on what @Bowlsnappersaid, I had a 1.0 with an internal wii2hdmi that also had that image distortion on it. I tried a nemesis signal conditioner qsb and it solved this issue. I got it off of Etsy from CustomXboxDirect, and for about $5 plus shipping it's worth a shot, imo. If I'm not mistaken, Microsoft split the CPU and GPU power delivery on 1.6's, so they have a more stable picture than the previous versions. Your 1.4 may benefit from a signal conditioner qsb. Just my two cents.

Cerbios v2.4.2 and 1.6 Xbox: warping issues on some games
nikeymikey replied to Bozzer's topic in Bios
Report your issue in the xbox scene discord the cerbios team or someone close will see it and there also may be others who have had the same issue. -
I don't have a crt edtv, but i've tested the console with two different composite cables on two different crts and on a led hdtv, and the warping on the upper part of the screen was there even on the hdtv. I've tested this Xbox with EvoX M8+ and the image was as it should be on the same crt i've taken the photos. Given that, and considering that the board is in perfect condition with no swollen caps and also i've read that Cerbios had issues with 1.6 Xcalibur video encoder chip, i think it is Cerbios' fault.
