  1. I admire your skills GREATLY, dude.
  2. I like that Jewel! Nice work here on everything!
  3. What is the dash? Is it similar to origins? If I had that problem I would probably just wipe out te dash and start over with something I know works and the just re-link all the shortcuts and what not. It may be more trouble than it's worth though in this case. I wish I knew. I've yet to try this build...
  4. It smells like plastic and some Styrofoam. Awesome.
  5. Was just makin a joke, my apologies. Well if it's just for fun and experimental, then lets see if we can do it! Didn't mean to make it sounds like a dumb idea. If you can pull it off, you would probably be the first! So you're saying theoretically, you could boot XBlast from one bank and try flashing again if something goes wrong. But if XBlast detects a certain chip type, it will probably try to flash a full 1MB again not just 256, so you would have to keep that in mind. But I'm sure you know that.
  6. If you're talking about 4 DIFFERENT bioses, that sounds like a lot of work to avoid buying a chip. lol.
  7. Exactly. Although at that price, you would never wanna open it. I don't know who that product is intended for...
  8. Here you go. https://mega.nz/file/kmVEAAoK#he1Fd9CSbkJ8rXU2z2TRIKwjDTk_Z_VVVXyZBSKiSqQ
  9. Could be. 50 C I think is totally fine. If that's your temp then I wouldn't worry too much. Your Thermal glue is working fine and I wouldn't worry about thermal pasted since that's the case. That shit is bulletproof, really.
  10. Is it possible that hot running processors can slow down enough to cause frameskipping but not fully freeze the console?
  11. ... Wait, so he ISN'T trolling? What kind of millionaire xbox collector have you guys ever heard of? "Just add to cart and buy it you will not regret it." " Just click and buy it." - Bro, it's 100,000 dollars. I don't think a bank will even approve a transaction that large through ebay. That's a hell of an impulse purchase. "If I want to take less than my asking price I will lower the price." HAHAHAHAHAHAHA...WOW. I think you'll be doing that if you want to actually sell it. This poor man is suffering from "I-know-what-I-have-disease".
  12. Wait... your HDD is softmodded? Since your TSOP is flashed and you are hardmodded, I would run an installer disc and reformat that drive. Back up any goodies you have on there and restore a normal dashboard structure. Having a softmod and a hardmod can cause major problems for you at some point. Also, instead of a programmer, I would buy an XBlast Aladdin or an OpenXenium. You will spend probably less money and you will have a chip that you can boot to the chip's OS with and flash any bios of your leisure without a programmer. Stock Aladdins are a nightmare to deal with.
  13. In my experience, this liquid flux is REALLY not ideal for LPC soldering. Find yourself a bottle of Amtech flux. It is MUCH better and will behave more in the way that flux traditionally does.
  14. Ah, onboard OS. I was incorrect. Kaos is the man to ask then, in this case.
  15. Like @dtomcat suggested, do NOT use the D0 on the chip. It doesn't work on Aladdins. You are probably booting the stock bios on the TSOP and not booting from the chip at all. Ground the mobo d0 to a ground pad or a screwhole ground pad. THEN try to boot. Don't wire up the chip at all.
  16. I would ask @KaosEngineer about the OS on the chip as he is very well familiar with old chips. I assume that the Cerbios flash overwrote the bank that XchangerOS was stored on and left the other one untouched/blank. Old chips like the X2 are kinda like that. A pain. Modern modchips sore their OS on flash banks that are not really supposed to be accessible except by certain means, like the OpenXenium. I don't think the XChanger has that benefit. Cerbios is a GOOD bios for what it's worth and it's what we're all using, UDMA 2 Isn't so bad for now until we get this remedied. Edit: This post contains inaccurate information and I am embarrassed and ashamed.
  17. I don't know if I can even come up with a response appropriate enough to react to that price adequately. I question my reality now. Am I dreaming?
  18. I also have weird issues with FTP just like tht. I have no idea why. FTP is sketchy on the OG. BTW you should have no issues with UDMA 6. I am not sure if the advantage is there with spinning platters, but I don't see why it wouldn't be. I always flash it with my Startech boxes. ... Unless you're attached to that X-Changer cuz it's old, you may want to consider upgrading your chip. One that can at least run XBlastOS. OpenXeniums are nice and these types of chips are both a LOT easier to deal with and are able to store OSes that can flash the chip with ease through multiple means.
  19. What on earth...? lol
  20. That sounds like a coma boot. Like the flash is being partially read.
  21. Dude SICK! Thank you!
  22. Okay... why even bother listing it for that price? There's no way he really thinks it's worth that. People are getting desperate.
  23. Are those not both the same model? I'm confused...
  24. NICE WORK! Is there any way, we could have a version that leaves the spot open completely so we can put an original jewel on? I'd be interested in seeing how that would look.
