[xbox original xecuter 2 start up screen]

The modchip installed is an Apple-X V1.0

Kernal 1.00.5101.01

Dashboard 1.00.5960.01

When i press the power button there's an orange xbox logo and everything seems OK.

Boot with eject (as you say this is looking for xbox bios) there's a green xbox logo, the button flashes red/green and it goes straight to a text screen saying service required, with the number in top left 16. If there's a disc in, it will load with no issues.

Is there a guide I can follow to rebuild the info on the HDD? Or one I can follow to understand how to add a bigger HDD with an emulator and stored games?

Quick update:

I'm now left with System 2 and wondering what options I have to achieve fitting a larger HDD with an emulator, so I can play games without the need for discs.

Any help/guidance on how to do this would be much appreciated.

Hi all,

I have recently bought a couple of xbox originals from eBay, but they aren't "original".

After some research I have concluded the following:

System 1

v1.4 motherboard

Seagate 10GB HDD

no visible chip mod

boots with xecuter 2 logo

Question: is this just a softmod? If so, can it be restore back to stock?

System 2

v1.3 motherboard

WD 8GB HDD

Apple-X V1.0 chip mod

Boot with power get orange xbox logo

Boot with eject get green xbox logo but the the button flashes red/green with a text screen saying service required, but works with a disc in

Question: can the error screen be resolved?

 

All I wanted was to do a bit of retro gaming with my children
