Thanks for the replies. I've hooked up my PC and Xbox to an ASUS RT-N56U rather than the cheap (but much newer) Technicolor EPC3940L from my cable provider. I'm now seeing consistent speeds of 10MB/s+ with occasionally dips to 5MB/s. Surprised at how terrible the cheap router had been performing.

Good advice, I probably should transfer it internally in my PC. But I would also really like to figure out what's causing the slow FTP speeds. https://youtu.be/pbzc7yQTqLU Comparing Halo 2's load times it looks like my drive is performing as expected internally. Going to try another router with security off.

Hello, I'm looking for some advice around improving my FTP speeds. I'm using WinSCP and both my Xbox and PC are connected to my router via Ethernet cables. I'm using XBMC4Gamers as my main dash but am loading into UnleashedX for FTP since I've read it should be faster. From what I've seen speeds approaching 10MB/s (even slightly above) should be common... Still, when transferring to the console I'm currently lucky to get speeds of over 1MB/s - they're usually much lower and often only around 250KB/s. For some reason transferring from the Xbox to my PC gives much faster speeds at around 5MB/s. I've tried playing around with the max connections in UnleashedX, I had it set to 10 and have since set it to 2 and haven't seen any real improvement.

I've removed the clock capacitor and I'm considering replacing the remaining capacitors in both my 1.0 and 1.4 model Xbox consoles. I can't see any obvious bulging issues but from what I've read after having the consoles in storage for 10+ years it's a matter of when rather than if they will fail. Most capacitor kits I see for the Xbox only include a handful of capacitors rather than a complete set. Example: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Xbox-V1-2-1-5-Capacitor-Kit-3pcs-3300uF-6-3V-SANYO-WG-Super-Low-ESR/233613510241?hash=item3664734661:g:axcAAOSwHjxe3Z4~ Are there only specific capacitors that I should worry about replacing? Or should I aim to replace all capacitors on the board - even including the PSU? Or should I wait for issues to arise and just replace them when they need it. Thanks in advance for your wisdom

I managed to get some assistance from Rocky5, posting the solution here in case it can help someone in future. Installing the correct Kernel font seemed to fix the issue. This is automated through NKPatcher. NKPatcher > Kernel Fonts > Advanced Features > Kernel Font Options > Install Kernel Font The other suggestion was to try using the 'delay files': NKPatcher settings > Kernel > Advanced Features Only go up to 3, as higher can softlock your Xbox, not all Xbox do, but stick to a max of three. (Start at 1 reboot, 2 reboot eg...)

Thanks for the help SS_Dave, I just went through the XBMC4Gamers install from the HeXEn 2020 disc and it still does the same thing. I've attached the C: and E: drives

Yep, it's one of my original consoles that was un-modded and sitting in storage for 11+ years.

The LED is a solid colour. The green flubber animation plays and then it goes to a blank screen.

Hi people, I recently soft modded my 1.4 Xbox following Mr. Mario's Rocky5 guide. I've since set XBMC4Gamers as the default dashboard. When I first power up the console on I just get a blank screen, to get the XBMC dash to load correctly I need to open and close the disk tray. Any ideas for how I could fix this?
