[Ogx360]

Is there anybody still offering the OGX360?

I tried the usual suspects but they are not selling at the moment. I prefer to have a one stop shop option, but worst case I'll have to make it myself

[Suggestion for Noob (modded xbox 128mb ram, 2tb, fanless heatsink ??? **softmodded**??)]

Hi Frizzo,

I'm also new here and starting with modding my Xbox. I have a 1.6b XBOX which was hardmodded 16 years ago. Since I dusted it off after 10 years on the attic I decided to bring it into the new decade. These are the mods I'm planning with the reasoning, might help you decide what todo

- Installing SSD --> mainly for noise reasons. I found the price difference between 1 TB SSD and 2 TB HDD not that large, and I rather have a quieter system. I also need to update the BIOS to a new version, since 16 years ago 1TB drive did not really exist as far as I can remember

- Doubting about disconnecting the DVD --> Not planning to play games from DVD, so not using it would help with some noise at startup. But on the other hand I noticed that you should still use it from time to time otherwise it gets stuck.

- 80 mm Fan --> installing a Noctua 80 mm fan and will also replace the cooling paste while I'm at it

- Install OGX360 --> I find the OG XBOX controller not accurate enough for todays standards. There seems to be a large death point and not too much range on the analogue sticks. I hope a newer controller might make gaming more fun. The controls on old games are typically not the best according to todays standards, so a bit of more accuracy might help in my view

 

The mods I'm skipping

- 128 mb ram --> As indicated by Geeba mainly usefull for emulators and homebrew stuff, but also if you want to play patched 720p games as far as I read. For me too much of a hassle so I will stick with the standard US games on 64MB. It at least gets rid of the 480i and gives me 720p on some titles.

- XboxHD+ --> Nice option but I already acquired a pound cable which delivers descent performance. There are a lot of complaints, and I might be blind to some of the issues it can give. Other option would be the Chimera solution which is apparently of great quality.

 

[Hello from NL]

Hi all,

New member from the Netherlands. Recently booted up my modded 1.6 XBOX after more then a decade of it catching dust in the attic. Only problem I encountered was a stuck DVD drive which just needed a bit of persuasion to get working again (would not open or close). Surprisingly all my burned discs still worked after, burned them 16 years ago.

My plan is to bring the xbox into the new decade with a new SSD, Fan and OGX360. For the first 2 the parts are already ordered and I plan to upgrade it this weekend. I'm still looking for a OGX360 so any tips are welcome.
