The HDD needs to be unlocked in the first place. If the HDD is locked to a different XBox you have a key miss match and the xbox will not boot. However, you can boot an old very old slayer installer (the ones without BFM bioses) but you wont be able to install anything. The HDD will just show up blank. Not even to sure why slayer is able to boot with a to a different locked XBox but it will show you that your MB is fine. The only problem you have is the HDD.

I would say your MB is fine. Error 06 : Incorrect hard drive password. I assume, that the HDD is locked to another xbox. If you put a different HDD in your XBox and boot up an installer diesk of your choice you should be able to set up the new HDD and your XBox should then work fine.

Every IDE drive works on the XBox. Every. And or the yellow wire just search for the right points. Maybe an SATA adapter works on 1 or 2 drives (guess one with Panasonic (it was I belive) conroller (like in the LG`s). You talk about original games on a "hacked" drive. Again, that comes down to firmware lvl and needs to understand what the og xbox dvd drive does, what the xbox does and so on. Then rewrite a firmware or create something like an adapter board which then holds a firmware to translate I/O. So your post offers nothing new for your own topic. And I think I should stop because I'm tired of saying you need a firmware to make dreams come true. I'm out here.....

Still comes down to the drive firmware and where to connect it, to usb? (Not possible (didn't even work with an HDD). Didn't even works with a modchip. Reason is the same as above, DVD firmware (except for the 8163b which can do it (not even to sure why)). You need a skilled coder for a drive firmware in the first place which also means that you have to reverse engineering the xbox dvd firmware and the firmware of the 360 drive (or which ever drive you plan to use) ect. pp.. Thats the point you need to start. From there you do/plan the next steps.

Well, I don't say it's impossible or can't be done. And I'm not closed minded. But I also do not close my eyes and see downsides which you may should consider as well to avoid running blind in one direction. There is also the point that the work puting into a project needs match the use (Hope that makes any seens). So if you put 1, 2, 3 years of work into a project for 50 ppl. that makes not much seens other than you have proven that it is possible. Consider that you can get the 4 PC drives and for at least 2 of them you can get new lasers and one of them can read OGXBox games. So maybe, just maybe, it is smarter to work on an SD Card based ODE thing which will work on a retail xbox. As a baseline I would say that you have just one game on the card which boots right away when powering on the XBox. This would also eleminate the fact that all DVD's will die soner or later. Anyway, I repect what you try to do and I wish you luck for it but it takes more than just an idea.

Well, I apologies for bursting bubble after bubble but face reality. I did not say that it isn't possible, you just need to find that one man/woman who is able and willing to pull this of just because he/she can and just for the fun of it. And that is the major problem here. You may have more luck in the XBox discord since there are more of the guy's/girl's who can do and/or have at least more infos on how you can or can not do it. You need 1: ppl with knowledge from the 360 scene as well as 2: ppl from the OG scene and join them for a project like this. Or you pay an engineer who then can do it as a full time job. What you plan is a huge project which didn't pay of at all. However, it's super nice nerd stuff and I would like to see it happen but I highly doubt it. And one thing more. This topic has round about 600 clicks. I bet my ass that some ppl with huge knowldge have read this topic but no one has made a post. And without looking at your sub reddit I would say, that there is also no good post that takes the project a step further. So if I were you, I would start a request on the xbox discord channel (if not already done). And again, sry for bursting a bubble or meybe being rude in anyway. It's not my intention.

Will also not happen. The 360 scene wasn't never that active like they was on the OGXBox - at least from what I know. There are just a handfull of users left like Octal450 (Josh) or 15432 (Aka Alex) who are knowledgeable enough to say if something like this would be possible at all. And there would be also no benefit for the OGXBox which was your initial thought. And if it would be possible M$ would have done that already but there are games where it's simply not realy possible. M$ also removed some games from the compatibility list because they are not able to fix the problems which some games had. Also take in account that the OGXBox is a x86 system and the 360 is a PPC system. I personaly see no real use for me using a DVD drive. But like I wrote above, a more or less "simple" raspi "ODE" mod for not so skilled users would be something nice to just flash a TSOP or softmod a XBox (Problem is for both you need to run a supportet game which needs a dvd drive as you know). But on the other hand you can get a cheap mod or just a LF49020 chip and exploid your XBox that way. So I think that everyone with enough skill to make an ODE posible for the purpose mentioned above would say, get a mod chip and use FatXplorer. It's basily not worth the time, effort and money - I guess. (Except there is someone who just want to make it happend because he/she can do it (you never know)).

That will not work. You need to write a almost hole new firmware from almost scratch for the drive. And even you find a coder who has the skill and will to do it, he would need all versions of 360 drives and consoles as well as a ogxbox and a lifetime support on free coffee and a shit load of time. I realy like the idea but it would basicly take an @Prehistoricman who not take an no as an answer and that took what, round about 20 years? Anyway. The only valid reason for a DVD drive is softmodding and easy TSOP flashing. That being said it would much more useful to have something like a raspbarrypi which could be used to accomplish that by hooking it up to the IDE cable and do all that on there own when powering on the xbox (of which im 99% certain that this will also not be possible). Bottom line: Before a SATA DVD drive becomes available for the OGXBox, little me writes propper english (which will probably never happen (at least in this universe)).

I don't think that there is a "list" in the firmware at all. The drive probably just detects the OGXBox DVD and sends that info to the 360 and then the 360 decides to run that game or not. Remember that the 360 has a compatibility partition for that (A hecked version of a patch for the compatibility mod can downloaded on the interweb). So the only plus is that the drive can detect/read the OGXBox DVD's.

I wonder if XBox 360 drives could be start point since they can read original xbox games. And they also have the same connector for the yellow cable (not to sure about the pinout on the 360 but I would guess MS was lazy and the signals are the same).

These 4 can read original xbox games. How ever, if you don't care about that, you can use any PC dvd drive that uses IDE. You would however need to find a way to connect the eject, status (Tray in/out, disk rdy, no disk ect.) to it. For a temp use of a dvd drive you can leave the original xbox drive connectet with the yellow cable but thats just a temporary solution like getting drunk before you go home to your wife.

You don't use these files to launch a installer. You copy these files to your memorycard (MC) or usb stick using FatXplorer 3.0 and from there you copy them to your XBox. After that you launch one of the supportet games like Splinter Cell and launch the save game and the flasher will start. But thats all already written in the included pdf files. And there is a demo video in the first post and another one on YT.

He cant flash the TSOP without a HDD. (Or he could in case he is able do de solder the TSOP, flash it with an external flasher and solder it back). One solution would be to read the eeprom with a raspbarry pi (piprom) and create a hdd using FatXplorer 3.0. The other option ofc would be a modchip. In case the OP has a RaspbarryPi, I would try that first. PS. There would be also the option to build a serial eeprom reader from some basic parts in case there is no RaspbarryPi on hand.

Cyanoacrylate based glue is made for this purpose. Before the point you glued with it will break, everthing else will break before the glued part breaks again. I use it to make my HDMI case mods (And for the slim fan mod shown above and some other things as well). However, even a good 2k epoxy will hold.

What happens when you tie D0 to GND instead of connecting it DO on the Aladdin? Will she boot?

Hot glue on a, more or less, hot surfice? You could use a old chewing gum which would give it more strength. If glue, then 2k epoxy or better a cyanoacrylate based glue.

One thing you can do for free is this : https://imgur.com/a/cYqLDPB Works very well for me even I just use 2 screws.

TITAN does not use a G partition just a huge F partition. So you would need to setup your HDD from scratch with your 3TB HDD because TITAN will not see your G partition. I suggest to use Cerbios over TITAN. However, you would also need to setup your HDD from scratch (Using FatXplorer 3.0) in case you want to use the full 3TB. If you are fine with the 2TB (of your 3TB) Cerbios will work out of the box with it and will see your G partition. The latest Cerbios (v2.2.0 atm) can be found here :

You can use it with the x2 and you can use it with your hdd since it's F only but you should not use it. TITAN is made for HDD's 2TB+ HDDs and still have some things not working like IGR.... So you gain nothing at end.

Copy your bios.bin file to : C:\Bios\ (Pay attention that you have at least 256kb free space on C:\ and that the bios has this files size after you copied it! (Sometimes with the softmod you simply have not enough free space!)) Copy Xblast.xbe to E\Apps\Xblast\ (Or somewhere else on E:\ Launch the xblast.xbe. Do not pay attention to what xblast say in the main screen. Go to flash menu and flash your Winbond. E: Your TSOP points are ok? Have you test them with a multimeter?

The softmod and hardmod didn't play nicely with each other. How ever, he can keep all his games on F & G even he setup C & E from scratch. 2 ways he can do it. 1: Using the OGXBox Installer which offer the option to just setup C & E or just C or just E. The other partitions will not be touched. 2: He uses FatXplorer and setup C&E on the PC. And reformating the old drive is also not necessary.
