LOL, I take it you went and found it now then

Ok thanks for the reply. The only other issue I seem to keep having is "Network Error detected, please restart XCAT" but it seems to continue uploading files after that notice has appeared.

Heh, true. I was kinda joking about the thread being old.

...... Well damn. I assumed the OP had looked... I am ashamed of myself. @nikeymikey

This is all expected behavior. If XCAT is about to run out of memory to prevent a crash it restarts itself. It will start the hashing again from scratch every session but will only upload files it has not hashed and reported on previously. It will not "rearchive" any files again. Once a file is uploaded to completion one time it will never be uploaded again by any user in any session. Every session is unique including restarts while running. XCAT has no way of knowing if you FTPd in content from another console or otherwise put a bunch of new files on the drive unless it scans the drive again. If a file has never been seen previously XCAT will also list the same file twice per scan, once when hashing it, and once when uploading it.

my adapter has it, interesting

I have it if you want it....

Did you even try googling "StarCraft ghost archive"? Because it's the first damn result

@Harcroft Question regarding v1.02.. Is it supposed to reset all counts back to zero and start again? Mine was at 19% and about 5000 files indexed, then the next time i looked it was back down to 5% and the bottom three counters were al back to zero? Edit- After quickly scanning through again back up to 21% (I presume this is where it reset previously) It has just reset a second time. However this time it seems to be re-archiving everything it did when I first ran the xbe today as if it hadn't run before?? Thanks to the new feature of listing the files as it goes I can see that it is scanning and archiving the exact same files it did first time around.... Edit2- The app has just reset again at 21%. It had uploaded 60Mb of data. I have closed app down and restarted console before trying again. Will update post if it restarts again. Edit3- Made it to 51% this time before saying network error please restart XCAT, then starting the scan all over again. Have rebooted again and re started the app.

Looks great, I'll take a couple when they are available.

No worries. I will grab 1.02 and get scanning EDIT- Much faster, flying through the scan now compared to last time.

Board's startup date is listed at the bottom lol.

Startech costs me like 60-70$ bucks with shipping since it is only available in the western hemisphere. AliExpress is banned for me. So I can't buy quality stuff. I'll have to go with those cheapo adapters and try my luck. Next biggest hurdle is finding a 80wire cable. Which is also only available on western e-commerce and AliExpress.

Hope he doesn't say _SIKE_

Sounds pretty cool. Would you be willing to share?

Yes I had it on several of my Xbox's.

yes they do, I ordered 2 from other countries that look like bootleg startech adapters with the same chipset and they all had the same problem.

I appreciate the offers for more testers, but we do have dedicated and skilled testers. The wait is generally on developer/development time, that being said Crunchbite managed to get v1.02 done and it's available now. The most important fix IMO was the cumulative delay between uploading one batch of files and scanning the next, but several other fixes and upgrades are included. v1.02 - Massive speed increase when processing files - Improve network error handling - Add self updater - Show most recently processed files during processing Available now on Xbins, digiex.net and xbox-scene.info

Apologies for leaving you hanging. Life is crazy right now. I’m glad this worked and you were able to figure it out. Happy gaming!

Gotcha. As for caps you were on spec for those. Just as a helpful note…you always go up a bit in voltage and microfarad but should never go below on either. The biggest constraint from going up in voltage usually comes from space. Higher voltage equals larger capacitor. For your silver cpu caps there are five to replace and those are 1500 microfarad 6.3 volts and they are 10mm diameter by 20mm height (though you can make 23-25mm in height work if need be). I’d have to look but I believe the lead spacing is 5-6mm. I would still give it a close once over to make sure there aren’t any solder splashes/bridges anywhere. Maybe even a good cleaning with a soft bristled brush and some 99 percent ipa. Hopefully you’ll be able to resolve the issues all around. We are all happy to help out as you’re working through it though.

IIRC, it's actually missing entirely. It's just open pads but with R4 on the silkscreen. @Raidernick Do other adapters with the Marvell controller exhibit the same Samsung drive issue?

Is there a guide for doing this mod? I assume it is just a replacement of an existing resistor but where exactly is "R4"?

As long as it's the green adapter above with the master/slave jumpers then you can get UDMA6 to work as long as all the solder joints are good(you might need to reflow stuff). As for the Samsung drive issue, it's the whole issue I posted about a while back where if you combine a Samsung B drive with cerbios 2.3.1 or greater and a hdd over 1tb(I tested 2,3 and 4) that on first console boot the DVD drive will give a busy error in XBMC or just not read the disc at all until you reboot the console once. Rebooting the console, starting xblast(or similar) first THEN the bios or putting the disc in before bios load does not cause the issue. It only happens on first boot directly to bios THEN inserting the disc and you get a busy error or it just won't read. It's a very specific issue that only happens under a specific set of circumstances but is very annoying. Using the china adpater prevents the bug entirely so on those consoles that is what I use instead of startech which I use for every other drive type.

I also keep forgetting about the resistor mod. Maybe I'll buy a pile of AliExpress clones and put it there... If it fixes all these issues, why the HELL wouldn't they populate R4 themselves? Wouldn't it improve their sales? Will it really run with a UDMA-6 bios? I keep seeing that people can only get UDMA-5 and that's only with the DVD drive disconnected. I keep forgetting about the Samsung drives. VERY important point. What about the HDD over 1TB thing? I haven't seen that. And newer Cerbios versions? I'm not familiar with those issues. Maybe I should get one of these, populate R4 and do some conclusive testing for us all.

Gotcha. Well I guess I’ll be ordering new caps for the fella. lol hopefully that fixes my issues.
