I just realized that pic was in the OP. I actually found it on ebay.

Definitely a real thing I've seen in many youtube vids. I most recently saw an lcd temp display on the front of a console. A bit of an eye sore, but a very nice feature.

Get them from pandora.

Did you try to lock the drive after backing up the eeprom to the chip? GoTeamaScotch has provided some great info and I'm assuming you mean that you tried a known working, "40 pin IDE" cable. What do you mean by all clients are empty during FTP? You should be able to log right into the drive using Filezilla. If you're using the correct settings and IP address.

I may give that shot since I can't find any concrete information. I really don't want to bork a psu or even worse, an entire motherboard. Thanks for the input

Unfortunately, I’m needing to convert down to 110V. There is a lot more info on converting to 220v than stepping it down.

I only found one, but I’m almost certain I had some more of these things around here somewhere. I’ll keep looking. Im amazed nobody else has any extras being that LIVE was out of service forever.

I probably have some in my parts bin. I'll check for you.

You've probably got some trace rot under the board where the clock capacitor was located. Once they start leaking, they can damage components. Remove the motherboard completely and check continuity on those traces. Here is a video explaining what you should check and how to fix the issue if they're damaged. https://youtu.be/IqZ20K6o1yc?si=OsGMit_TtIeJic_O

Lol I did already understand that cci is for cerbios. That compatibility list makes it seem like those games do not work in cci format. That's what I was getting at. It specifically says these game will only work in hdd ready files. That is the reason I mentioned the method ModsvilleUSA used, in case others aren't running the almost complete cci library. Best I just not comment about this stuff to avoid confusion. Also, I believe Dempsey has said some of those other games will most likely NOT get fixed due it being a speed issue and not Cerbios related. Something along those lines.

No, if you have any installer disc such as Rocky5 extras or OGXboxInstaller, you should be able to ftp while running those. Assuming you have either or and your Xbox can boot them.

That list sill states that some games only work as HDD ready. I’m a little confused here The modzsille video showed the fix for the split iso and file names too long. That was simply ripping the iso to the HDD, which fixes these issues on the fly. Edit: IIRC, he just ripped the iso image and didn’t have to burn them to disc.

No you’re not screwed at all. Sounds like you’ve just got some files mixed up and causing confusion, resulting in the hang at splash. Renaming the .xbe to .old seems like the issue. I’d suggest deleting that file, copying the default.xbe from your dash folder on E: to the root of C:. Then rename the file in C to “evoxdash.xbe”. Try to reboot and see what happens.

For the HDD ready games that can’t be used with .cci?

I saw a Modzville video I believe, where he talked about just burning the .iso of incompatible games and then ripping them to the HDD. This way it eliminates the split iso and long file name issues. He also shows results of them working as intended. I guess this is the best if only workout currently for those incompatible games.
