  1. Getting CerBIOS to see my F: Partition

    in Bios

    Yeah, Repackinator will do all the work for you, including converting from raw dump into XISO, splitting, removing the video partition, making the Attach xbe, which is Cerbios compatable (also backwards compatible with older bioses.). But you need a PC (Windows/Linux) for that. And in its current version, it only supports the full size raw dump, so no padding removal to shrink them down to a smaller size. 

    It's as close as you can get to the real thing, as almost all games should work now without any of the patching that one use to do and without any of the possible tampering that one might have seen with hdd ready versions.

    There has been some talk of a new version that will include a "shrink" feature, for those people who have full sets, but don't want to fork out the cash for a 16tb hdd. But I can't say if that will be released any time soon or not, tbh. Either way, it's a really cool app that saw a lot of work go into it, so if you can get access to a PC give a spin.

    I actually just moved my C and E setup over to an Origins image and I have all my games now. IN folder format. :) Now I just need to know why BFM loading wipes out my partition table, forcing me to rewrite manually with XBPartitioner. Things like Chimp and the "attach.xbe" method of ISO loading just decimate my table every time and it scares the SHIT out of me.

    I also need to know why every game on the origins package loads in widescreen with a stretched 4:3 aspect ratio. Super annoying... are all the xbes patched that way or something?

    Managed to replace 2 leaky caps but now I've put my x3 Xbox back together it seems the eject button isn't responding. Should the second little port on the face plate have something plugged into it?

    I think one socket is for the switch panel input and the other is to go out to the X3. Look around for a disconnected molex.

  6. Insignia XBL replacement sign-up opened

    in General Xbox Discussion

    Posted

    Hey, guys. I recently upgraded my HDD to a 2TB. Origins F and G, replaced dash and everything. Now I can't connect to insignia. "Could not connect to xbox live." Switched back to my old drive, nada. It's able to connect to the DNS. I am officially freaking out. Did I break something by swapping my drive out? Can anyody else confirm that they are still connecting okay? I'm gonna start a thread because I'm panicking.

  7. Black Screen With Chimp

    in Applications

    Posted

    I've placed all the files properly and set jumpers correctly. BFM loading seems to happen and then blank screen. I'm using a Pound HDMI adapter. Do I need to buy composite cables? I've read that that is probably the reason for my present misfortune. Anybody have luck running with HDMI? 

    As a side note, ANY time a BFM is loaded on my machine, my partition table is ERASED. It's kinda freaking me out. I keep having to boot with my X3 bios, run XBPartitioner, write the table, and then Cerbios will see F:. Any idea why BFMs keep wiping out my table? ISO loaders do the same thing.

    Have you splitted the iso in chuncks <4GiB? Something similar happened once to me when I forgot to split the iso. Other things I would try is to repartition and reformat the drive under cerbios. But also wait for someone more skilled than me on the matter.

    Nah. The iso is only 700mb, so no problems there. i donˋt think reformatting is something that will fix it... but thank you. :)

  11. Help with adding bios to new Harddrive hard modded Xbox

    Yes I have the xenium mod chip with the hd+. It’s all new I had it professionally installed . 
    I connected a new hardrive , FileZilla shows the c and e partition no others.. I did make sure it was m8plus.bin for Verizon 1.6 board .. I ftp it over but when I go to load it via the xenium os the tv shows no hdmi device connected .. and after awhile it will boot up the error 16 screen .. In the launch menu I have m8plus and the hd+ software .. I followed a couple YouTube videos and patches the bin file and transferred it over using FileZilla . I can’t seem to get a bios to work .

    XeniumOS does not have LBA48 support. That's why you can't do anything with F;. It doesn't know how to. You'll have to use XBPartitioner under a BIOS that supports LBA48. M8+ should. I have no idea why you can't get a bios to work. Kaos probably does.

    Hey all , I have a hard modded Xbox with xenium installed , I don’t have a old harddrive with bios , I have he hdmi+ installed and it’s working I connect my Xbox via hdmi, I can’t seem to get a bios to load , I can’t load hexen cause I don’t have a dash board , I formatted the c and e partition via xenium , every other partition I get failed to format .. I get the error 16 lots , I Tryed ftp m8plus but it won’t work .. I have a version 1.6 mother board .. what am I doing wrong ? I have a hexen dvd made but it won’t load cause I don’t have a dashboard I guess .. I have a new 2tb harddrive .. i can boot into xenium but that’s it 

    Okay, help us out here by clarifying a few things. IS it the Xenium modchip that you have? Is that what you mean when you say you have "Xenium installed"? I know you have XeniumOS. If you have a legit hacked bios, you shouldn't need a dashboard to load hexen. It should just run automatically if it's in the drive. Are the bioses you're flashing intended for 1.6? They need their own versions of each bios. Try to give as many detals about your setup as possible so we have all the info we need to help you.

  14. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2003-2007 Driving & Putting Question

    Hello XBOX Community. I have Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 and have a question about distance for driving and putting. Obviously, I pull the left thumb stick back then forward and pick the most appropriate club but how do I make it go SHORTER or LONGER? There’s no POWER INDICATOR like 99% of other golfing games have. Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    That arrow you see on the ground in front of you: move it about 1FT behind the hole. That's how they decided to do it, I guess. Coming from hot shots golf, that's a VERY weird way to do it.

  16. XBP Table Writer Just went with my games

    in General Xbox Discussion

    Posted

    Hey, that's exactly what XBPartitioner looked like for me when Cerbios didn't have a table to reference after I went off of X3. Adjust the partition 6 size to take everything and make sure G is NADA. Then write that table, assuming that it reflects the size of what should be left over on your HDD after partitions 1-5. If that doesn't work, you may have formatted... but if all you did was run the table writer, you're probably okay. You just didn't have the right option selected when you accidentally wrote the table. You will want to make sure that F: gets everything. NO G:... assuming that that's how your drive was configured before this happened (You only had an F: partition and no G: at all)

    OKay. I don't have a PC, so I'll have to rely on the script. I'll see if I can find it.

    Okay, I am experiencing an EXTREMELY weird glitch:

    The script creates the xbe like normal. I try to launch the XBE, but I just get a blank screen, SOLID HDD activity light and alternating LEDs. Then, my LEDs go back to green, my video signal dies COMPLETELY and my TV actually goes into standby. But that's not the weird part. The weird part is, when I booted up again, my F:partition was not being read anymore. I had to go back into the X3 Bios, run XBPartitioner, write the table again, and then Cerbios could see F: again. Also, when I booted into X3 to do so, there was a green vertical bar on the left. Narrow, but HELLA noticeable. I'm officially freaked out. WTF is happening?

  20. XBP Table Writer Just went with my games

    Hello There, yesterday I was with my father trying to upgrade our old and loved Og Xbox, but I'm new with Xbox tools, and after some try and error trying to get Chimp to work. I ran accidentaly the XBP Table Writer after that, and all games in the F: and G: partitions were gone. Now when I try to send any file to these partitions via FTP using Filezilla, I get the error "550 Internal error" or "Failed to get folders"

    I just ignored the error and got a DVD that I instaled the HexEn 2018, and with that I could clone my HD, but all the games that we had (Almost 120gb of games) are missing. Someone knows if there's any way to recover the games that I lost or at least recover the storage ? 

    You probably wiped out your previous table and now have no access to the data on that drive. You may have also formatted the drive as well if that's what was indicated in the top right when you hit start and y. As far as I know, there is no tool that can recover unindexed files like there is for NTFS and FAT. Dang, man. Why did you have to hit start and Y? Lol. I feel for you dude. Maybe somebody here can confirm what I'm saying?

    🤣 old HDDs at high speed. That Maxtor drive noise was noticeable from inside an entertainment cabinet, across the room... the fan is bad enough IMO lol.

    It would be fun to get a 10,000RPM drive, even if the bus is bottlenecked and wouldn't allow for any benefit... just for the 1337ness. Dude, when my fan is on 100% it sounds like a Dust Devil impeller.

    Edit: Appears that 10,000RPM drives are no longer a thing, probably due to density improvements and SATA advancements... and SSDs.

    You need a UDMA5 compatible IDE drive and a 80 wire cable but it will work just fine.

    For some reason, IDE drives are over twice the price of an equivalent sized SATA drive. I might as well just get a SATA drive and a startech adapter. Anybody tried the dual HDD feature yet?

    And for god's sake, how do I mount isos in Cerbios? Lol.
