So which donation system should I use?

I do have an Xecuter 3 console for sale too…£500 if that’s any better for you

wow that's cheap, here in NZ they're getting high prices.

I knew there was a way to do it and thought it was with xbmc4gamers but wasn't positive. Thanks! I’ll file that away for the next time someone asks.

Nah, I just sold 2 stock consoles on eBay, just softmodded but not other changes for £15 each

Thanks so much for your reply, yes, it appears I don't need to update as realistically I never go into the Xenium OS anyway, and I've got Cerbios on there now and the only time I'll use it again is to flash to new Cerbios *hopefully* versions I didn't know that about the X3, I should dust off that Xbox and give it a workout and a new bigger hard drive. Appreciate your input. I have a softmodded 1.6 I'm yet to mess with, I hope to upgrade that to Cerbios too, fingers crossed I don't stuff it. I had a look tonight at original Xbox prices, they're sky high now. Pay more for them now than when they were new Looking at the screenshots, the new version looks ugly anyway.

Unless you use XeniumOS regularly to swap bioses etc then you don't really need to update it. The newer versions are compatible with the INTERNAL HDMI mods (Stellar, XboxHD+) so not sure if it will make any difference to the issue you were having. It really a personal choice if you want to update it or not. Will you get any benefits from updating?? As you said if it aint broke.... Also the X3 chip really does benefit from using the X3 bios, I believe you can also switch banks without using the dip switches. Just hold down the "white" button when powering on the console and it should take you to X3 Config Live and you can switch bios banks there Tbh though if your using Cerbios then there really is no need to switch to any other bios at all

Well received my Xbox and all the original parts including the ox chip. The ox chip doesn’t look as bad as pictured earlier pretty sure it was staged for the photo under microscope. Bought another OX from Netherlands as it’s already got Prometheos loaded. Got in touch with previous installer on previous page and he fobbed me off. Didn’t even bother to respond. So I asked a local modder to swap the Aladdin to OX. Hopefully he did a good job… only charged $80 AUD

The easy way to set it all up is to put all the games (XISO) in their own folders on your HDD, then in XBMC4Gamers push the "black" button then go to settings, Then choose "Skin Settings", Then go down to "Scripts" move across to the right and go down to "RUN- XISO to HDD Installer Script", The script will run and do what is needed including adding the attach.xbe to each and every iso game it finds. This is the simplest way to do it on the console. If however you are going to use Repackinator to get the XISO files from the Redump ISO files I mentioned earlier then that also has the ability to create the attach.xbe files needed.

This is actually planned for a future release, so I do appreciate your contribution, although it is coming soon, among other fixes and additions.

Yep, add your games folder as a path to be scanned. Then rerun automatic. It should now find your games.

Ok, I've managed to update my Xboxes to Cerbios, all UDMA4 and just left it at that, seems fast enough for me so don't really care about trying to go faster. Everything appears to be working fine on them. I appreciate all of the help. Next, my favourite two Xboxes are Xenium's, from memory Xenium Ice chips, original ones from back in the day. I use component cables out to a HDMI converter, and If I recall correctly a few years ago I had to downgrade my Xenium OS for it to work on my HD TV's properly, can't remember what that was all about, now I see there is a new Xenium OS 2.3.5 that seems to fix that video problem I was having, is it worth me installing it? Or should I leave mine as is. They're working fine so should I just take the if it ain't broke don't fit it stance, or is there a benefit to updating to the new 2.3.5? I also have one with an X3 chip on an Xbox but prefer the Xenium OS over using the dip switches.

There is. You will need Rocky5s disc attacher located here. https://github.com/Rocky5/Xbox-Softmodding-Tool/blob/master/Utilites/Xbox/Attacher%2C Detacher/Extras Disc Attacher.zip There should be a default.xbe file in that zip. One way you can do this is to make a sub folder inside your Games folder. Inside that subfolder place the game xiso and that default.xbe file. You would then go to File Explorer and navigate to that default.xbe file. Once highlighted you press the white button (if I recall correctly) and then select “rename xbe title” or something very similar if I’ve forgotten the exact wording. Then enter your new title. After you do that (and probably a restart) you should see your game show up under Games off the main menu with the new title you’ve given it. That’s the down and dirty way to do it anyhow. Lol. There may be a nicer way to fix game titles but that’s the way I did it years ago. I think with some dashboards you can do it without having to do the rename manually but I will let someone else answer that if it turns out to be the case.

I extracted the ISO and modified the ZIP files to contain a 5849 dashboard instead of a 4627 dashboard. Am I allowed to repost the ISO?

Thanks very much for this great explanation. You mentioned above .XISO, is it possible to load games from .XISO directly without extracting them ? If so can you tell me how ?

That is the most cursed IDE adapter.

Its not the dash that's the problem, it's the games included. Your HDD was copied from a HDD image file downloaded from the net by whoever sold the Xbox to you. Tbh its a pretty lazy way of filing a drive quickly with as little work as possible, before selling it on.. If it was me and my console. I would rip the HDD out and connect it to my PC, boot up FatXplorer and format the drive with C,E F and G, completely clear all the origins crap from it and start all over again. Use the "Clean C&E drive" files as a starting point, then install XMBC4Gamers as my dash of choice (Normally I install it to E:\XBMC4Gamers and use "XBE Shortcut Maker" to create a shortcut file (evoxdash.xbe) that goes in C:). At that point You will have a clean drive that boots directly to XBMC4Gamers. OR you can format the drive as suggested above and use the files I have linked below. This is a C and E drive exactly as described above, boots to XBMC4Gamers in E with Apps folder containing DVD2Xbox, Xbox Artwork Installer, MS Dash (shortcut xbe) and Enigmah video switcher (Run it once and use it to switch your console to be an NTSC console, then you can activate the HD Modes in the MS dash, bear in mind you will need component cables to use them tho). Most bioses should look for evoxdash.xbe in C first so this should be fine to use with pretty much any bios. C-E with XBMC4Gamers plus apps.7z Once you are at this stage you are free to add any games you wish to a Games folder in F and/or G. Now as for sourcing the games... I would get the Redump files from Archive and use Repackinator to extract them or convert them to XISO as you can be 100% sure that those files are good and do not have any errors.

Thank you for the info. I was asked how I set up Origins with my dash and got Insignia going, so I was fulfilling a favor. I'm glad that somebody with some familiarity with the image was able to offer some insight and advice. Rock on!

It’s setup to load on stock and hardmodded xbox. Hence the NKPatcher stuff, this is for retail Xbox. So all you do is lock the drive to a nulled/eeprom/all 1’s key and boot the Xbox to be up and running. For hardmods wipe the C partition or just delete everything bar evoxdash.xbe if it exists.

What are you asking exactly?

The fixes and 720p hacks are also found on the OGXbox installer disc. Don't forget the Halo 2 patch that just came out. https://github.com/grimdoomer/Halo-2-HD I have a 48 inch 3D plasma TV and I can confirm that it is badass. Plasma is king. I can't stand LCD and OLED looks so good it's almost too perfect. CRTs are amazing. Yes, it can never be truly 100 percent perfect, but it can still be 99.98% perfect, and that's good enough. Nothing looks like a CRT and I will always love them.

Yes indeed. I found a google drive folder just now with 247 game patches, 720p/widescreen patches from a thread on reddit. Heres the link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/17mhs1QO2XHnRNNDdzOR9VFdJGEdh8NdB Im going to patch silent hill 2 and try..

use XDVDMulleter v10.2beta to extract game files

I'm really interested in your reply, do you mean that I might need to change the dash and that would help me fix some problems ? This build includes as well the unleash x dash, which have the same problems when trying to loqd games through it

Thanks very much, will try this
