  1. Is the Magnet link still up? I was literally in the process of doing this myself for just the US stuff but if someone already did it for all regions I'd be more than happy to delete mine and seed this indefinitely.
  2. Do you know if this tool is ready? I have been pretty busy the past year since this thread died out and am starting to get around to wrapping this up and if there is a way to get all the games working as iso's I'd prefer it.
  3. I purchased one of those USB Programmers to try and flash the fake chips on an Aladdin but haven't gotten around to it yet. I'd rather use an Openxenium, just seems so much more straight forward.
  4. Would love to know if this worked for you, I am looking into making my own OpenXenium chips and am running into the same question.
  5. So after doing more reading I see that I do have to cut the trace on the L-Frame for this. My new question is if I cut the L-Trace can I still use an OpenXenium chip with that 1.6? I might be switching back and forth between chips on some of them.
  6. I have like 6 1.6 boards that I was going through and was pre-emptively rebuilding for OpenXenium chips last year. Fast Froward to this year and OpenXenium doubled in price and are usually sold out anyway. Decided that I'll just grab some of those cheap Aladdin XT Plus2 knock offs from aliExpress and buy one of those re-programmers for the chip. I have only installed OpenXeniums so this is my first experience with these Aladdin Chips. Was looking this guide here on the forums and instead of wiring the D0 to a point on the pin header like with OpenXenium it says to ground it to something on the board while the comments say to ground it to the D0 point on the chip. Just wondering what would be the best practice for these chips. Also in the steps it does not mention cutting the trace on the L-Frame which I always heard was a must with these Aladdin chips.
  7. Just for clarity on this since I am not at all familiar with reprogramming chips. All I need is one of those Nano USB Programmer's from ebay and I will be able to reprogram the wrong chips that get sent with the fake Aladdins off Aliexpress to be able to write new bios to the chip?
  8. I am using the HDD ready ones because that's what I have and I haven't really heard or read anything that makes any other option better than that. It seems there is no perfect solution to having all games work one way unless you go into the files yourself and fix what needs to be fixed. So far every game I have played using my HDD ready collection works. I am only doing NTSC games, no PAL or anything. Color breaks down like this: Green = Shoe in(both User and Critic scores are high) Blue = at least one User or Critic score was very high and the other was also high (most likely taking this) Yellow = Both User and Critic scores are mediocre. Taking these in a case by case basis based on popularity/genre. Example: if there are already a lot of games in this genre that are already in the running to be added then I probably won't add yellow games that have a lot of the same type of games that are Green or Blue Orange = User and Critic scores vary greatly. I will go through and manually decide if these games should be added or not Red= trash, don't even bother. I actually have a list of games that I decided to go with. These games coupled with some emulators and their full NA collections leave around 60gb of free space to work with so if someone wants to add some extra games they like that aren't on the list they can. Here is the current list I have: https://pastebin.com/1009CtYa The Excel sheet I have should also reflect this as well. The column labled "Used for 1tb image" has an X in it if the game is on the image. If the game is green or blue I have a comment as to the reason why it is not on the image. Usually this because it has a sequel that is a better version of the game, typically racing games or sports games: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pAWehUWFH4Ile26KSPYFiU6t1IPWM2PpOKxN3UO8lMc/edit#gid=0 The reason I am doing this has less to do with boot time and more to do with me having a cheap source of 1tb drives. I also don't like having the entire collection on a drive anyway so this is more for efficiency. I guess boot time could also fall under efficiency so that is also a bonus!
  9. Thank you very much. I always forget that the white button is magic on this dashboard. I was just selecting it with A and not seeing any Delete option.
  10. I tried deleting the folder in Profiles but the profile is still showing up when I start my Xbox. Any way to completely delete a profile?
  11. Cool thanks for the advice. I have only run from folders and have had no issues so far. Using and XISO just seems like a pain but I haven't really tried yet.
  12. Is that last section for games running from a folder? Also wondering if it is better to run from an XISO vs a Folder? I have been trying to find information on this and it seems like there are a lot of pros and cons.
  13. Random question. What is Kekule?
  14. Can you even still buy Cat4 cable?
  15. Thank you! At this point this is enough to take it off the list. I need to cut as much as I can right now. Another two racing series I have come across with sequels were Project Gotham Racing and Rallisport Challenge. Are these sequels fine on their own or do their predecessors add enough to warrant keeping both.
