i want to oc the cpu of my v1.4 xbox to lessen the constant frame drops that it has on many games. does anyone have an oc'd bios for it that i can test? someone gave me a tool to make my own modified bios a while back but i don't care enough to figure out how to use it tbh. this question is manly for james and kaosengineer.

i have recently been playing xmen: legends on my hard modded xbox. this is the 1st time i have done this. i have played this game through many times and i have noticed a couple glitches that i have never seen before. this is the first time i have ever played it from the hdd on a hard modded xbox. this is also the 1st time i have ever played it through on a v1.4 xbox. most of the times in the past were on my v1.6 and once on a v1.0. both used the disc. so i'm not certain if it is that i am playing it for the 1st time from the hdd or that i'm playing from a v1.4 xbox for the 1st time. thoughts?

i have a prototype game that i want to run on my modded xbox. how do i turn it into a file that will run on it?

my experience has been that even a locked drive connected to a pc will still show it's health status, hours of usage, and start/stop cycles with the program crystaldiskinfo.

the make adapter to connect an ide hdd through a usb port to a modern pc.

a locked hdd will show as having all dead sectors.

always a good idea to hold on to that old hdd

i don't know. i live in the usa. u can look at the page and see. other 80-wire cable will work fine. but the one i posted is a perfect replacement in length, space between connecters, and stiffness to the oem.

did u ever get this fixed?

these are perfect 80 wire replacement cables for the og xbox. https://chimericsystems.com/collections/uncategorized/products/custom-xbox-ide-cable

try installing the board and psu by themselves. only connect the psu, start button, and tv to the board. plug the console in and hit the power button. u should be greeted by the regular xbox flubber and then it will take a moment for the system to frag. this is a way to find out it the problem is in the board or in one of it's attach components. also, did u replace the 3 caps in front of the heatsinks? did u try to replace the thermal paste(don't if u haven't already)?

hey dave. i was actually thinking about tagging u in one of my updates. i highly recommend these chimeric ide 80-pin cables. i stretched it out beside a stock ide cable and it was identical in length and spacing of the connecters. i also think the dark gray color looks better. it seems to have good flexibility too. the new feet and memory card port-to-usb controller adapter work very well too.

UPDATE 2: i just installed the new ide cable and it works perfectly. highly recommended. it is identical in length to the oem cable.

UPDATE: i got the stuff in the mail yesterday. the ide cables are the exact length of the oem cable and look great. they would especially look good in a clear or translucent case. i haven't tried them yet(i intend to soon) so i don't know about their performance. the new feet are made of a flexible plastic so they won't have the anti-slip properties of the rubber feet. they also have no adhesive on them so u will have to supply your own. the controller to usb adapter is a VERY snug fit in the controller. it works but it will be very hard to remove. i tried removing it with needle nose pliers but stopped trying because i was afraid i would damage something. i'll try to give an update on the ide cables when i install one. they appear to be the perfect replacement. if u have any questions then please feel free to ask.
