is there any way to speed up the loading of the home screen?
Jailer replied to bulkchart32's topic in Hardware Mods
Just a quick update on my issue. I purchased a different IDE to SATA adapter with a Marvel controller and my boot issue is resolved. It's back to booting normally now. The adapter I bought is a Star Tech brand off Amazon. Only thing I wish was different was that it had a standard molex power plug instead of having to use the power adapter that came with it. It's not a big deal it just make cable management a bit more difficult. Thanks for the tips guys! -

It was disabled shortly after I acquired the drive, it's an old drive out of my TrueNAS machine. I've still got 4 more of them sitting around. I'll check into a different SATA adapter to see if that helps. They're cheap enough to swap out. Thanks for the heads up guys. -

It's an older WD green, it's not a SMR drive. Not complaining here, just wondering if it was normal. The difference between boot times with mine is quite significant and I was just curious if I had some sort of issue. My old seagate 160GB IDE drive loads the flubber animation and boots right after the DVD drive initializes. My 3TB WD green sits at a black screen with "Xecuter 2 config live loading" text at the bottom of the screen for nearly 30 seconds before it loads the boot animation and finishes booting. In the grand scheme of things it's not a big deal, I can just wait for it to boot but I just wanted to make sure I didn't have some sort of issue after changing drives. -

I have the same issue with my hard modded 1.6 xbox. Recently added a SATA 3TB drive with a NFHK SATA to IDE adapter and a 80 wire cable that looks like the one on the bottom in the pic above. I'm also getting extremely slow boot times and this is with a freshly formatted drive with nothing on it. MY 160GB IDE drive that I removed boots up instantly. I have not tried cerbios yet, I'm still running whatever BIOS was flashed to it around 15 years ago when I modded it. -
Why does the HD AV pack usually cost so much?

Mine looks just like the bottom picture. I've never seen the one in the top pic before and never even knew it existed. I was kinda late to the xbox scene. -

Ok it's different than what I have. I have an xbox branded component cord for my xbox that is quite heavy and has an optical digital output near the connector end and thought that's what this thread was talking about. -

When you guys are talking HD AV pack are you talking about the component cables or something different? -
Been lurking around here for a little while and figured I'd join the fray. I recently dug out my old modded xbox to re play some old titles that I missed only to find that the OG xbox scene had sprung back up with a new born popularity. I'm amazed at some of the things that are available now for this old workhorse. Props to all those out there that are putting in the hard work to keep these old things going and making them better than ever. I've got a 1.6 OG with a Xenium ice mod chip that I installed several years ago. It's been great other than the DVD drive not wanting to eject occasionally. Also have a modded 360, my second one due to RROD. Also have a PS2 with a mod chip that I installed just to see if I could do it and I'll never do another one again. Lastly I have a stock PS3 that's been used for nothing other than a Blu Ray player it's entire life in my home theater until it quit ejecting disks. I guess I don't have very good luck with consoles. Thanks for putting this community together, there is a lot of good information here and the people here seem very helpful.

Hi all! Old timer with a bunch of consoles...
Jailer replied to griff2bad's topic in New Member Introductions
You might be able to look into the left side vents and see if a modchip is installed there. Otherwise taking it apart is your only option. Don't let that deter you, they are very simple to take apart. It's called a TSOP flash. It's where the onboard BIOS chip has been re flashed with a modded BIOS. That's all I can help with, I've never replaced a DVD drive in an xbox. -
I know I'm late to the game here but filezilla, especially the last few versions, are terrible about disconnects and not just with the xbox. I've had much better luck using WinSCP. It's too bad too since I prefer the user interface for filezilla over any other FTP client I've tried.
