  1. Make sure in your LCD.xml you change LCD.timeWide21, LCD.timeWide22 with something else as this is bugged out in xbmc with xenium chips

  2. Hi Frizzo, I'm also new here and starting with modding my Xbox. I have a 1.6b XBOX which was hardmodded 16 years ago. Since I dusted it off after 10 years on the attic I decided to bring it into the new decade. These are the mods I'm planning with the reasoning, might help you decide what todo - Installing SSD --> mainly for noise reasons. I found the price difference between 1 TB SSD and 2 TB HDD not that large, and I rather have a quieter system. I also need to update the BIOS to a new version, since 16 years ago 1TB drive did not really exist as far as I can remember - Doubting about disconnecting the DVD --> Not planning to play games from DVD, so not using it would help with some noise at startup. But on the other hand I noticed that you should still use it from time to time otherwise it gets stuck. - 80 mm Fan --> installing a Noctua 80 mm fan and will also replace the cooling paste while I'm at it - Install OGX360 --> I find the OG XBOX controller not accurate enough for todays standards. There seems to be a large death point and not too much range on the analogue sticks. I hope a newer controller might make gaming more fun. The controls on old games are typically not the best according to todays standards, so a bit of more accuracy might help in my view The mods I'm skipping - 128 mb ram --> As indicated by Geeba mainly usefull for emulators and homebrew stuff, but also if you want to play patched 720p games as far as I read. For me too much of a hassle so I will stick with the standard US games on 64MB. It at least gets rid of the 480i and gives me 720p on some titles. - XboxHD+ --> Nice option but I already acquired a pound cable which delivers descent performance. There are a lot of complaints, and I might be blind to some of the issues it can give. Other option would be the Chimera solution which is apparently of great quality.

  3. As for the heatsink - try to source a later item as these were fan-less if you are modding your xbox, also whilst you have it apart add the 80 pin IDE cable and possibly an 80mm cooling fan.

  4. I'm guessing TSOP over the softmod? I honestly can't remember but I dont think 128mb upgrade will work on a softmod? What are you mainly going to use the Xbox for? 128 RAM is good for emulators and heavy skins in XBMC etc. but will add little to Xbox games unless (again from memory) you patch them to use the extra memory.

  5. Welcome You could try - Tutorial - How to softmod the original Xbox in 2021 (Rocky5) | Se7enSins Gaming Community I've not softmodded in many years but that looks pretty straight forward.

  6. Looks good to me. Try what @SS_Dave suggested in the previous post. Edit: The only thing that may be questionable is the length of the red wire jumper connecting the Arduino to the adapter board's CS pad. Make it as short as possible instead of having that big loop of wire.
