Yep the potentiometer is the same as in the 360 gamepd. I tried desoldering just the side bit (i.e. the X pot) and soldering another one in place (I had spare parts lying around) but I ended f*cking up the board because I suck at soldering Thanks for your answers anyway.

Hi there, I bought an old duke gamepad which unfortunately has a problem with its left thumbstick. The thumbstick feels OK and can move in any direction but it always sends the same x-axis signal : full right i.e. maximum positive value (tested with TestLaunch). What could be the cause? Bad cable? Bad solder? Bad joystick mechanism? Something else? Please advise! TIA Serge

I just did that, but it didn'nt work. [UPDATE] I have no idea why, but I installed XBMC4Gamers and it suddenly started working. Thanks anyway!

I am using a good old Duke. I don't know how to get back to the stock dashboard. There doesn't seem to be anything directly in c:\ BTW, I softmodded the xbox using latest JRocky5

Hi, Funny title, less funny behavior : my 1.6 xbox won't run chimp. I have another soft-modded 1.6 on which chimp works quite well, so I copied the chimp app folder over to the new one, but no luck. I tried downgrading from component video to composite, but no luck. I tried renaming the Chimp folder to chimp, but no luck. I get to th first screen, linux boots, "starting chimp" is displayed in green and then nothing. What should I do? TIA Serge

I resoldered the 6 points but that didn't help. I guess the Duo is to blame then. I'll keep the xbox softmodded for the time being. I might get back to it later, and properly refix the LPC using the V4 shipped with the openxenium. Thanks anyway.

HI all, I am new to mochips but I recently decided to take the plunge. I found an OpneXenium which I bought reasonably cheap on eBay (including LPC rebuild). Since I am not so good at soldering, I also bought a spare 1.6 to try my skills. To my surprise I found that it had been modded. A disconnected Duo X2 was hanging loose inside it (a white model with AMD chip). As is, the xbox boots without problem into MS dash. When the duo is connected and I start the xbox via the eject button, everrything works as intended (MS mode) When the duo is connected and I start the xbox via the on/off button, a red light flashes and the xbox enters a quick on/off cycle (drives starting then stopping). My guess is that the Duo is defective. It probably was installed to read exports (since the HDD is a 10GB model), then fried and disconnected in order to sell the xbox. But that could be good news If I can make use of the already fixed LPC. Can it be done, as the nubers of pins differ (+2 for the openxenium)? And what would I be supposed to do with the white wire (D0) that is connected to the duo? Please help! Serge

Yes! I had forgotten that folder. Thanks a lot!

Hi there, My 1.6 og xbox won't softmod. I tried Splinter Cell (Error 21) and 007 (reboot). It runs fine otherwise. I was browsing the internal memory via MS Dashboard today when I came across a strange itrem, called NkPatcher. I suppose the xbox has been softmodded then brought back to MS standard. Any idea on how I could re-softmod it? Or why any previous (maybe failed) attempt would prevent me to re-softmod it? TIA Serge

Now I feel even more lost. To sum it up : I have a stock unmodded 1.6b Xbox and I want to softmod it and swap its HD for a bigger one I do not have access to another working xbox than the aforementioned I haven't been able (yet) to find a USB stick that I can use to perform the Splinter Cell softmod. I managed to format one on the xbox but copying to it works in the most bizarre ways (see my first post) So what are my other options? Can I extract the eeprom.bin via Xboxhdm2.3? TIA Serge

> You don’t need Xplorer360 for this just a copy of Xboxhdm2.3 and Rocky5 variations softmod for xboxhdm2.3 Do you know a good howto guide for this?

> So you are trying to make a 1tb hard drive for a Xbox Yes > Do you have the HDD key from the Xbox you are making it for? No. How do I get it? > And is this for the damages Xbox that locks up on booting? No, this is the other one, a v1.6b that actually works.

Ouch, this is a complex tool. I tried to "build a new xbox hd" since this is my second goal (1st softmod 2nd swap for a 1GB SATA HD). But I feel like I don't really know what I'm doing. And I don't know what a "hotswap" is I understand I have to dump my xbox's eeprom somehow. Don't know how though.

Yes it is. I'll give xboxhdm a try. Thanx BR Serge

How do I know? BR Serge
