I just went ahead and bought an OpenXenium chip to see if something is somehow bridging inside the Xenium 24k. I’ll report back here once I get it and install it.

I have no idea how it’s happened. I have installed OpenXenium and project stellar and had no issue. I have never run across this. It’s like when the chip is installed, it’s disabling the front panel buttons. I have to pull the plug to turn it off.

I don't know how that can happen since power or eject turned on the console. Pressing power again should turn it off. If off, pressing the top larger front panel Eject button will turn the console on and eject the DVD tray. Pressing it again will close the tray but not turn off the console. That requires pressing the smaller power button.

I have a 1.6 Xbox with Xenium 24k modchip. System worked fine but feeding buttons prior to install. Lpc rebuild and added pin header and Xbox boots with chip great. Eject button takes me to Xenium is and power button boots into my dashboard (Xbmc4gamers). The issue I’m having, is that I can’t use the power or eject after in turn it on. Don’t think it’s a trace issue due to it being a 1.6 and not having the issue prior to the chip. Any help would be awesome

So it was the capacitors and the modchip tested it on another console same issue put another chip on work like a charm, that board is retired until I can figure out how to repair its traces if it isn't burned to the point of death on the capacitor solder points next to the heatsink by the power supply

the stl for the face plate exist for some time now, but if you want to let make a face plate like the originals (so not 3d printed), you're looking at a price with 5 digits to make the injection mold and some samples. For a console like the og xbox it's a big investment, the userbase is not so big and not everybody loves the face plates.

This tool is released, it's called Repackinator. You can download repackinator from the team resurgent github page. https://github.com/Team-Resurgent/Repackinator Just use untouched redump iso files and the program will do the rest. It will also create the attach file. the main repacklist.json in repackinator is fully tested and is build like so: all usa games + pal exlusives + jap exlusives. If you wish to convert another version of the game for some reason you can add it to the repacklist.json (you can find the alt games in altRepacklist.json) Here is a compatibility list for xiso with cerbios: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTsVPLdUJvc0R8oYXbx5xVSEBHW98VH2xM5XkvODvC01Sbcj9b3I2laWD3ZxN-Yklm4qJR2jF4nXuiu/pubhtml?gid=0&single=true And here is the compatibility for CCI (cerbios compressed images): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/1/d/e/2PACX-1vSewa5ynfmFC6Dg9FeF9nBF511dGgHc6VwtmR5AH3yyba-bqXO2OAvR-_xxPSLk84xCiM8LxntTYzHX/pubhtml?gid=0&single=true

Do you know if this tool is ready? I have been pretty busy the past year since this thread died out and am starting to get around to wrapping this up and if there is a way to get all the games working as iso's I'd prefer it.

well if you do a few more, put me down as interested. If you don't, no worries, but I did want to throw my hat into the ring, so to speak.

The issue with that is that if I save files to it from my xbox, they show up after reboot so I know it worked, but when I use explorer360 to look at it there are no files at all. it's as if their both writing to different partitions but it only has one and I confirmed that the computer actually coppies files to it by checking the ipod with explorer360 on another pc. The xbox can see the files it writes to the ipod and the pc can see the files it writes but neither can see both.

I tried that, FATXplorer does not recognize it in the devices screen, it sees it as an option to format but after I format it it does'nt show up, if I try to preload them when formatting it says something along the lines of "partition 0 does not exist or cannot be found", not sure what to do

Dustin/MakeMHz, has stated that they’re working on compatibility with the old XLCD screens AND, the STL has been released for the faceplate along with the X3CP board being successfully cloned. I think it’s safe to say that It’s only a matter of time now. Glad I still have the old X3 lying around. In other news, my Stellar just arrived today.

Format the ipod nano again using FATXplorer 3.0 beta then copy the two save files / numbered folders to the root / top-level folder. Edit: Forget that you ever knew that the old buggy Xplorer360 application ever existed.

Not 100% on this, as was not even aware you could do this with a nano. It sounds a bit like file permissions, the NT file system which fatx is based on can be a bit picky. What you could try is make a real splintershell save by playing the game enough to get to a save point. Then on your computer delete all the files in side the save, not the folders just the files then from your hacked save copy all the contents into their respective folders. Pop that into the XBox and see if it likes it. He folders will grant the implied permissions on your transplanted files.

I got the xbox to usb adapter and a copy of splinter cell to softmod my xbox, multiple sites confirmed you can use an ipod nano to do this so I plugged in the ipod nano to the xbox and it reformatted it. I tried coppying a game save to it and restarting and it was still there. when I open fatxplorer it does not see the ipod, when I try xplorer360 I am able to copy the save folders 5553000c and 21585554 and it stays after removing the drive and reopening and I got them to show up on xplorer360 using a different computer with the ipod connected. Then when I tried to view those saves in my xbox on the memory card, only the test save (soul calliber) shows up, not the ones I coppied over. I also noticed that I don't see any folders in xplorer360 that would be from the soul calliber save which my xbox can still see, but my xbox does not see splintercell or anything else. any help would be appreciated

I would appreciate it! No rush!

I think he did mean an addon to stellar to get the x3cp xlcd working under stellar. Not a whole new face plate.

Yes, worth point that out for others, but I was taking it as a given Naif understood that as he described the method in full in his previous post about the IGR issue. The DVD drive spinning up is unfortunately without a solution as it is a feature of the Thomson DVD drive which is what I suspect he is using. I have not noticed that with any other DVD drive but the Thomson is noisier than the others so it is more obtrusive. It is checking if there is a disc in the DVD drive and it seems to do that whenever you do almost anything including just closing the DVD drive tray, double checking there is no disc present. I too find it rather annoying.

what caused that corrosion to occur?

IGR is a four (4) button combo, not just two (2). Both triggers plus the two buttons you mentioned.

Does anyone have a link to download video previews? The one listed above is no longer working. Thanks!

That’s the diode that has likely died, preventing the laser from reading the disc. Interestingly, I was able to clean the “crisp” off the traces going to the diode, meaning the traces are salvageable. But it appears the diode is glued in place… With all this being said, the laser actually looks like a fairly simple concept which I hope translates to easy maintenance. Here’s the picture of the cleaned traces!

The IGR work with me but i don't like to hear the DVD Drive spinning also i want to make survive long as possible. XBMC i remeber when it was softmodded i just installed XBMC in E and then the unleash always boot it

Some Evox M8+ BIOS seem to have problems with the IGR. I have an Aladdin chip that came with a pre-installed EvoxM8+ BIOS and. if you checked it with the EVTool I mentioned earlier, it showed that IGR was enabled. Problem is it still didn't work, neither Back + Black or Start + Back did anything. Only when I reflashed it with a known good version, which I think SS_Dave provided or linked me too, did both IGR methods work including with XBMC.
