Nice job.

Temperatures will be recorded in your dashboard. When in XBMC I go to system info with the right stick button and I am showed CPU and GPU temps. This is done with a hardmod. Softmodding is janky. I wouldn't wait for a HDD failure... unless you don't feel comfortable soldering. I wouldn't want to mess with the thermal paste, either. Unless your system is experiencing lockups, it's really not needed. This thing doesn't get that hot when cooled with properly functioning fans.

I've never needed to do it. I know that. lol. That stuff is bulletproof.

Well... it can be MOUNTED internally. But what we're talking about is true HDMI. So the Ryzee encoder, Harcroft OpenXHD, MakeMHZ HD+. The wii2HDMI can be mounted internally, but still pulls the signal from component first. That being said, it does a GREAT job of converting the signal and It looks as good as you're gonna get with component to HDMI conversion, in my opinion. I have one and it is awesome.

Thank you for verifying. I was hoping somebody would.

OGXBox XBlastOS MC/USB TSOP Flasher Created by Sweetdarkdestiny There is no need to softmod your xbox before TSOP flashing. This tool created by Sweetdarkdestiny makes it very simple to flash your TSOP with nothing but a stock console and a USB drive. But really, as long as you are able to launch the MS bios from your TSOP, even with a chip (disabled, of course), this tool can do it for you. The readme "How to run the exploit save" contains information on which games are exploitable and will tell you which folder to use for the game you want to use. I have used this thing multiple times and it is quite idiot proof. Please read the "Read ME" to understand more about how to run the exploit. For the record, I use splinter cell because it's pretty straightforward and works every time. This is the way I personally use it: I place the 21585554 folder and the game save folder I need on the USB drive. I then drag over the bios I would like to use to the flash drive. As long as you remember where you put it, that's all that matters. I plug in the flash drive and boot to the MS Dashboard. I copy both save files (the installer application and the exploitable game save) over to the HDD using the game save manager in the MS Dashboard. I then restart the console. I load the game and follow the instructions for that particular game. Once the exploit loads and I am in the tool's menu, I use the live file browser to copy the bios I placed on the flash drive over to C:/Bios/. I can then be assured that I know exactly what bios I am flashing and as newer versions of Cerbios come out, this is the simplest way to go about it for me. You can also name the bios files anything you want so that you know what they are when in XBlast. Once the bios is in the Bios folder on C, I navigate through the menu to "Launch Pure XBlast." (I'll post more specific navigation instructions when I get home.) This launches the standalone, unscripted version of XBlastOS. I just go into the flashing tools section, find the bios file I want to flash which is already freshly copied over to C:/bios/ and let XBlast do its thing! Simple, painless and awesome. There are also many automated/scripted procedures for this tool and many bioses to choose from, if you need something other than the newest version of Cerbios. There are lots of ways it can be used. I am posting the 32MB version, since it is the most comprehensive and useful. The 8MB version is available in the fichier folder that Sweet posted. DarkDestiny, Thank you very much for creating this tool and for sharing it with the community. Your work is very thorough and powerful and I use it with lots of projects of mine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fichier Folder : https://1fichier.com/dir/oXIMz61T Mega Mirror: https://mega.nz/file/ZjF3EarT#qRyBz7AOIDMO77wbPrXiyj43nwBQYKMZKyvue-1tAMw --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There is also an XBlast-only version which utilizes the same exploit. You will immediately boot to xblast and you can HTTP flash from your PC, which is also a quick way of doing things! https://mega.nz/file/FqVjHIhD#MKTgY-fJMfEUuv3jmrBmvMbCYRCdGqHehrQq-YweMVg https://www.xbox-scene.info/forums/topic/379-xblastos-4-game-exploids/#comment-696 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am only able to offer help with using the tool.

For what it's worth I DID burn all the discs and they work, some even burned at 10X. So unless they corrupted in between my download from fichier and my upload to Mega, I would say you either have a corrupt download or bad burn.

Okay. I was gonna say, it looks almost like a TSOP hardwired to the board. Do you happen to know what this chip is being used? EDIT: Oh you posted it. Nevermind and thank you!

I wanted to point tout that when heatsinks and the adhesive are that hard to remove, what's being used is likely thermal GLUE, not just paste. Meant to keep that heatsink there no matter what happens! It comes in handy when you don't have a way to clamp the heatsink down in some situations, like the CPU upgrade for this console.

Did you get a good copy going?

... dude, that is an entire IC soldered to teh board. That's a new one for me. I'm not even familiar with what those solder points are!

Yes, I would have been concerned with true HDMI encoders.

Nah. I would open the case and point the crosshair at the very bottom of the block. I am honestly not sure how accurate a heatsink reading would be or what the temps should look like, since it is already cooling to the atmosphere. As frosty said, your temps should be within a certain range. if they are higher, that's pretty much your sign right there that the paste isn't doing its job since the processor temps are usually pretty consistent, under a load or not. Use a pea size amount of thermal paste and no more. That will be plenty by the time you've pushed down the blocks and flattened the paste. When you open it, It would be cool to see how hot the sinks run when on for a while. The only problem is, without the drive bays covering the heatsinks, there is not proper airflow to cool your processors and something could overheat, especially the GPU, so I don't know if I want to recommend that! Good airflow will make your heatsinks pretty cool, in the first place. (thinking about this all now)

Pretty nicely done. What is the LED sticking out of the controller port, BTW?

Basically it's when you are showing temperatures in software that are much hotter than what you feel when you put your hand on your heatsink. It is no longer efficiently transferring heat from surface to surface. IR thermometer would be useful in this. @Gunky

Stupid question: Are you booting from the TSOP itself or from a chip? Just need to make sure... I know you said you have M8 on there so I assume you are strictly TSOP modded with no chip.

Updated to show EOL status and to provide links to xbox-scene and to the Cerbios installer thread.

...... Is anybody surprised that the Nemesis STM32 liberation module comes to my mind here? Is that unreasonable? I, being the conspiracy theorist I am, am a bit skeptical... @FrostyMaGee @Dtomcat18 This is something that isn't needed.. it's already been done in a much easier and featured package... Yes, frosty, the picoprom

OGXbox Cerbios Disc 2.3.2 Created by Sweetdarkdestiny A very big thank you to sweetdarkdestiny for creating this other amazing piece of work. The original thread is here. This thread is basically a mirror. https://www.xbox-scene.info/forums/topic/382-ogxbox-cebios-disc/ THIS IS NOT THE OGXBOX INSTALLER DISC! PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY! This the new Cerbios Disc 2.3.2. Build 03 This is disc started as a simple flasher made to make it easy as possible to flash the Cerbios. Now it's a fully grown installer which is up to date by this day. It not only provides every public available Cerbios bios in different flavors, it now provides you evey needed dash, app you name it. You have the option to launch this disc in 4 different modes: DHCP + Boot From Media Cerbios (BFM) bios. DHCP with your own bios which you have on the modchip/tsop. Static IP + Boot From Media Cerbios (BFM) bios. Static IP with your own bios which you have on the modchip/tsop. You also have the option to use XBlastOS, EvoX, GentooX or ResctooX to flash your modchip/tsop in any mode! This flasher also offers a simple option to go from a softmod to a TSOP flash for NTSC & PAL users. And it offers even more like the latest Team-Resurgent apps on it up to date to this posting. As well as apps from the XBox Preservation Project, Cerbios Intro Maker, CISO, Custom Cerbios Splash, Ram DeLimit & XBMC4Gamers / Emustation Artwork Stuff. UnleashX in a special version only available on this installer, Rocky5's latest XBMC4Gamers dash with additional skins and XBMC-Emustation build. There is also the option install/reinstall more apps (if needed). And like you may know from the OGXBox-Installer this disc here provides every repair option you can think of. Below I attached a couple of screens. And a massive shout out and HUGE THANKS goes to JadeSparrow for his support, suggestions and testing! You did an incredible job! Finally, here is the changelog or at least some parts of it. The changes we have made are massive! Boot Menu Added: The "Cerbios Archive" to it (Not using a BFM for this). And I removed it from the other main configs since there's no need for it to be there anymore. Added: The about & Infos section to the Boot Menu and removed it from the other configs since there's no need to have them in every config. It saves some lines of code and speeds up the boot slightly. - Added : Huh!

It minimize the work to maintain all 4 modes by HUGE amount. Who has seen that coming? Changed/Added: A non BFM boot menu to avoid problems using a new blank HDD. I also added the options to launch this Disc in varius flavors. * Guess it's the best to do it that way for now. The main flasher will stay on the 2.3.1 till a beta of 2.3.2 or newer drop. I also added a lot of icons (still a lot missing). And I wrote a lot of txt files. Made a DVD Cover AND a "Cerbios Disc - Sort of Manual" (Still WIP). And a lot (!) more adds, fixes, changes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fichier Download Folder : https://1fichier.com/dir/XpNkvkyV Mega Mirror: https://mega.nz/file/MvUyEJRC#cZsvQ5Dw7Bl-lZn9jbXoj4yCuQHsyJpvB3IClucG4X0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This software package was created by @sweetdarkdestiny. Credit goes to him.

I'm not sure what "support" I could really offer, since I didn't create it. I can help people with what it is they want to do and give them a procedure to follow, but as far as troubleshooting the installer in more than basic ways, I am not able. I wish you were still around, updating threads in the "on-the-ball", prompt way that you normally do. I don't have answers to a lot of questions. YOU do, sweet. I've been trying to do what I can to support your work in the only way possible: To distribute it here in the way I feel you would have. All your links disappeared at the same time and people were looking around for them. I wanted them to have a link to find. I'm attempting to make sure that people understand that the Cerbios disc is different and what it's purpose actually is. As for the 1.5.4 version, I'll be sure to state that it is EOL and that it should no longer be used, but is available for download if wanted for any odd reason.

I don't understand this statement. I give you credit for the software and only provide some Mega mirrors. I'm not a developer and don't claim to be. If you can find anywhere that I claim to be a contributor to the project, I will gladly remove it. I don't understand how creating threads and mirrors gives the impression that I want people to think it's my achievement. It obviously isn't. Your software is good and so I want to share it with people on the forum. Your installer and TSOP kit are pretty much my go-to in any situation. I want there to be access and mirrors. Anything I post is an exact mirror of the fichier files. There should be no confusion. Every thread it titled and labeled pretty clearly. Cerbios disc is Cerbios disc. OGXbox Installer is OGXbox Installer. OGXbox Installer Cerbios Edition is OGXbox Installer Cerbios Edition, etc. No "support" is necessary. I will add the Xbox-Scene thread links to the posts so that any support needed can be given there since I didn't write anything. All my support is experiential and anecdotal.

Pretty sure the PICOPROM will be easier to use. This looks like the nand flasher for the 360 that you actually have to solder to.

I can't, because what you see on top would not be able to be supported by anything and I would just have strings a half inch above the bed. This is the only way I can really orient it. I'm using cura and I can see support settings in the setting menu, but it is only to enable the options in the UI. I enable all to be viewable (why they would do this I have no idea. maybe to make it easy for stupid people?) and they will not become viewable. So I can't add the damn supports because the UI is a piece of shit.

I printed a few of these and this was the result: That's bullshit. Am I missing something here? @NeMesiS @Dtomcat18 There is no support for this section. The model is printed upside down, compared to this. How can I support these areas in my elegoo slicer? What should I be looking for?

It's the TSOP kit that Sweet made. The TSOP kit is meant to be used with a USB drive. You need an exploitable game in order to flash the TSOP. You also need to be able to BOOT from the TSOP to be able to address it with ANY flashing software. There is no way to get around this. If you boot from the LPC, only your LPC will be addressable. If you boot from the TSOP, only the TSOP will be addressable. That's why I've been saying that it's probably NOT worth it. You'd have to get everything done on occasions when you can get the TSOP to load. There is also no guarantee that it is just a corrupted image/flash. Your chip may be dying and it may not work at all to flash it..
