Pics.

You may already have this/checked these and it’s not for the part you’re looking for (still looking on that one) but I thought it might be a good reference if someone else was looking at this. The caps list for that rev C foxlink psu. C3 680uF 200v C6 100uF 25v C10 100uF 25v C15 47uF 25v C17 1000uF 16v C18 2200uF 10v C19 1200uF 6.3v C20 1200uF 6.3v C21 1000uF 10v

I'd just be interested in the complete front panel as I already have crystals and an X3. Again though, I can't bring myself to drop hundreds of dollars on it. At the end of the day, it's just a cosmetic upgrade, but damn do they look good.

I can attest to this... Look at my workspace, for example.

New firmware is live: https://github.com/dtomcat/picoPromSD/tree/main/firmware Adds folders... so each backup(s) will into a folder with the serial number as the name... makes much more organized for those who backup multiple boxes

I have thought about letting it go many times over the years but never actually gone through with it lol. But cold hard cash can do weird things to people

So I've bitten the bullet and ordered an OpenXenium from a local Oz seller on Ebay, good feedback etc (ended up costing me $49.35 with some Ebay discounts, equates to ~$32.78USD (there is no way I could get one shipped to me from an Overseas seller for that price, shipping alone is abominable). Hopefully it arrives in the next few days.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1efsIxiSqpHYJDpcv6rwFCmLD4QIavvo5/view?usp=drive_link That is the SVF file. Nowhere NEAR a meg. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1X20iC4nKLsDnB93HjSxS_Hu_6pIsCj3A/view?usp=drive_link That is the 1MB SST image. It has Xblast as the OS and Cerbios on the 256 bank. 512 bank is clear.

Wanted to let you know I saw this. Just a minute.

^Yes have tried that (via fiddling with wires due to lack of a switch bank) same issue. I know my wiring is working because if I jumper the "enable" pin to ground it frags when the ground/D0 cable is plugged in. It also frags if I ground D0 directly to ground without being plugged into the chip.

Thank you so much for your work Rocky, I hope everthing gets better for you.

P.S. I used the bios chip from my working xblast chips it is the aladdin.

thanks dude. so much respect!

no worries dude. thanks for the help

I got a flashcat and now it worked but sadly now the chip does not boot anymore I used NANO USB Programmer and the 1MB bin file from here, I used this programmer before with the 256k chips without a problem. what svf file did you use? I used this one: Gruß

Updated some things since this video a day or 2 ago from this post going live. Life’s been hard the last year, but am still here plodding away. Hope everyone enjoys the new features

Ah ok. My bad. I’ll look around for that too and see if anything turns up or if I have a parts 1.0 psu.

Have you tried booting from the other flash bank? Could be that the bank you're attempting to boot from is empty and resulting in the frag. The 2.3b has a 1mb flash memory which lets you use either 1, 1mb bios, or 2 x 512k bios's.

I have already bought the fuses it. it's the inductor I need to locate unfortunately.

Nah definitely wasn't a 1.6 as it was a normal variety pinheader install, no LPC rebuild or anything required. I don't recall the exact version number but it was probably a 1.2 (it wasn't a 1.0. I remember that much at least. Funny thing things you remember and forget over the course of 15/20 years).

What mobo revision was it attached to before? Do you happen to remember? Could have a 1.6 bios on it. Just sayin. May need a flash anyway. Yes, it could cause a FRAG.

So separate to my Softmod in another thread, I also have an old Xecuter 2.3b lite which has sat in my toolbox for about 15 years or so. Physically it's in pristine condition. I have no idea what bios it should/might have on it, as it was removed from my old Xbox way back when after I got another (original Xenium) chip. I have the ground/D0 cable and a switch module. I'm not the worlds best solderer but I managed to use braid etc to remove the solder from the LPC holes on my v1.0 board, and solder in a 12 pin header. I don't have the cable for the switch module for this chip, so have tried using spare wire to set the switches so the chip would be enabled. The LED's on the chip light up when powered on, regardless of the state of ground/D0. However, if I jumper the pins to enable the chip, or ground D0, my console frags (eg on/off three times, ending with flashing green/red light). I have triple checked my soldering. I used a multimeter to test all the pins on the LPC following a guide in another thread and voltages etc appear correct when the console is powered on. D0 is definitely correct as there is continuity if I bridge the top D0 point with the wire (which is soldered to the bottom D0 point). My question is, if the Modchip bios isn't correctly flashed/loaded, would that cause a Frag? I'm worried my soldering isn't good enough but all the multimeter tests seem to indicate everything is working as it should be, leading me to think the chip is faulty/dead (even though the LED's light). I'm close to ordering an OpenXenium if I can find one somewhere, as that will negate my TSOP/HDD issues, but just worried there might be something i'm missing with my soldering etc. Thanks for any advice

I’m not 100 percent positive but I think this is the fuse. It appears to be the same manufacturer, it’s 4A, 250v, radial leaded, slow blow fuse, and it’s the 382 series. https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/littelfuse-inc./38214000000/3306886?utm_adgroup=General&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=PMax Shopping_Product_Zombie SKUs&utm_term=&utm_content=General&utm_id=go_cmp-17815035045_adg-_ad-__dev-t_ext-_prd-3306886_sig-EAIaIQobChMIqPa2iYfmggMVdp5aBR1wegCVEBwYAyABEgKRIPD_BwE&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADrbLlgD_ELLgrItXk15nzBmKSB4d&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIqPa2iYfmggMVdp5aBR1wegCVEBwYAyABEgKRIPD_BwE Here is the data sheet on the 382 series time lag fuses as well. https://www.digikey.com/en/htmldatasheets/production/526913/0/0/1/382-series-datasheet

Is the Magnet link still up? I was literally in the process of doing this myself for just the US stuff but if someone already did it for all regions I'd be more than happy to delete mine and seed this indefinitely.
