That's odd if you weren't having that problem before. I'm running xecuter 5035 bios on the tsop for what it's worth.

Now that fox has done this mod, I wanted to point out two things I encountered after doing this mod. 1. IGR seems to get bugged. Before this mod If I pressed the IGR Combo then the Xbox would immediately reboot to the Xbox screen and into dash. Now if I do the same then it just stays at a blank screen with no signal like the Xbox is powered off but it's not, it still is powered on so I have to power cycle it manually through the power button to get back into it. The slight workaround that I found for this was holding the IGR combination keys for a second longer than before it works 6/10 times. Mostly fails in Homebrew (tried on QuakeX by lantus, CelesteX, HydraX, Odamex and SoRRx) but works in Xbox games better but not perfect. I have those bottom of the barrel Aladdin X2 chips running EvoX M8+ with IGR set to Compatible. 2. I'm not sure if this is a causation of the this mod, but Call of Duty 2 is freezing about 30-45 minutes into any level of the Single player campaign. Restarting the console and the game it sometimes goes past the point the game last froze but then also freezes on the next level. I'm hoping this is more a "Bad copy of the game" issue. It is a HDD ready rip not a DVD.

Sorry, @fox That should have said “you can always go up a bit in voltage”.

yes, it's a last ditch effort. After all my troubleshooting I reflowed everything in this area and the same area underneath the board, which is the portion that got flexed. It was certainly at least one of those components with a broken joint. It's something to bear in mind when/if you have this problem.

Thanks , I’ll reflow one more time and if it still isn’t detected I’ll remove and order some other replacement chips , will reach out to you for seller’s details should I need it . Reason I asked is I was also thinking maybe these were just a bad batch or DOA as you said .

If that's the case, then I've been lucky. I've had A/V snags all the time when removing the mobo, especially during RAM installs.

Yes... it would frag. I have like, 75 chips from Ali, and they are working great, actually... maybe yours are just DOA, or fake?

I’ll definitely take a look at them. I could certainly see that being possible. They are old and something could need a reflow especially after I took it in and out a few times. Thanks for the idea. I’m willing to try anything at the moment haha

Have you tried using or are you using Cerbios UDMA6 with it ?

I got them off AliExpress mid last year in a pack of 10 , installed it in December and just been using it as 64mb as it’s not affecting anything . If the soldering isn’t correct shouldn’t the console frag on boot as it did previously before the reflow ?

Those are the proper model number. Where were they sourced from? @L2000

This sounds similar to a problem with my xbox a couple years back. When you were tilting the mainboard to remove it from the case, did the audio-video port get snagged on the port hole and flex the board at all? With my board the problem was a bad joint or joints around the port. Just throwing this idea out there.

Why?

Hi all , just wanted to find out by those in the know if these ram modules are compatible for the 128 mb upgrade . I’ve installed all four , failed on all four . Touched up all joints with soldering iron , got the three reboots and Xbox wouldn’t power on , reflowed with hot air station and Xbox goes back to booting as if there’s no extra ram attached . I then replaced one of the ram modules to see if blast would detect it and still nothing . I have no issues accessing Xbox dash or Cerbios flashed Aladdin booting XBMC4Gamers .

That's the older version of the adapter, the newer ones are missing several components on them. I guess they are cheaping out on the production quality now.

So in the last hour and a half or so I has gotten to 51% three times in a row and then reset. It flies through everything up to that point as all has previously been scanned and/or archived and then stops briefly, starts to upload a file from E:\DEMOS and then resets. Hasn't even finished scanning E drive by that point. It is a 6tb drive and has a lot of content on it. I did get as far as 70% once earlier on today. I have been running the app since 9:30 this morning and its now 6:15pm as I write this. Powered off now and will try again in the morning. EDIT- Ran XCAT again this morning, got all the way through to 100%, had 4 files that failed to process even after multiple retries. After saying no to a further retry I got a message about Network errors and asked to restart XCAT. Have doen so and will let it run, if it fails on the same files again I will leave it there and say its complete Strange how it kept failing at the exact same spot yesterday and today has just run through to completion on the first try. Now to move on my other consoles and drives

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
