XBlast OS v0.65 - Now with Sharp TSOP flashing
Prehistoricman replied to Prehistoricman's topic in Bios
Yes I think so. I have a third party controller so I'll give it a go some time. -

Download: https://bitbucket.org/prehistoricman/lpcmod_os/src/master/releases/ Changes since 0.64: Can now flash Sharp TSOP Xboxes. No need to use GentooX any more! Safer flashing. Xbox won't reboot if flashing fails, which is most important for TSOPs.

XycloMod: flash the on-board BIOS on v1.6
Prehistoricman replied to Prehistoricman's topic in TSOP Flashing
No luck, still working on it. -
Can't get Aladdin XT clone to boot on 1.6 Xbox
Prehistoricman replied to Shmingers's topic in Modchips
Should be fine but I meant to confirm if the flash is really working properly by flashing a non-EvoX BIOS and run it on your 1.1. Just to see that it's no longer booting evox and thus the flashing worked. -
Can't get Aladdin XT clone to boot on 1.6 Xbox
Prehistoricman replied to Shmingers's topic in Modchips
What are you using to flash it? I wonder if the flash is not working properly despite it saying it's good. If you flash it with something different like stock microsoft or cerbios, does the expected bios boot then? -
XycloMod: flash the on-board BIOS on v1.6
Prehistoricman replied to Prehistoricman's topic in TSOP Flashing
When you run the script or GUI, does the Xbox stop responding to the power button? It should. -
XycloMod: flash the on-board BIOS on v1.6
Prehistoricman replied to Prehistoricman's topic in TSOP Flashing
Try connecting your ground to the other side of the C7C7 cap (the one that DEBUG is wired to). Can you measure the RX and TX voltage after connecting to the Xbox and plugging it in? 3.6V is unexpected. -

Prehistoricman replied to Prehistoricman's topic in TSOP Flashing
You have a connection problem as the GUI says. The script is less stringent in determining if a connection is made. Check ground connection and voltages of the RX and TX. -
XycloMod: flash the on-board BIOS on v1.6
Prehistoricman replied to Prehistoricman's topic in TSOP Flashing
Never tried it but you'd need to hook up the some extra pins to power the chip up -
XycloMod: flash the on-board BIOS on v1.6
Prehistoricman replied to Prehistoricman's topic in TSOP Flashing
I think your cmd isn't at the right folder. Easiest way is to open the folder where xyclops_flasher.py is in file explorer, shift + right click empty space (not on a file), click "open PowerShell window here". Then you can run the python command. -
XycloMod: flash the on-board BIOS on v1.6
Prehistoricman replied to Prehistoricman's topic in TSOP Flashing
It means there was a timeout while trying to program. Not a python installation issue but a setup issue. Check all connections especially your ground connection. See if you get the same error every time you try the script. -

No, that image shows a different arrangement. I really don't recommend the AV port option as stated in the tutorial on xbox-scene. I haven't been able to edit my post here. -
256MB RAM upgrade release and tutorial
Prehistoricman replied to Prehistoricman's topic in Hardware Mods
BIOS patcher updated for v1.6 compatibility! I'm not aware of anyone who's tried out this mod on a 1.6 yet but now it's ready for when they do. -
Have you considered using the test points? All the flash chip's pins are broken out to test points on the back side of the motherboard.

The small (0402) caps are 10nF, medium (0603) ones are 100nF, big (1206) are 10uF.
