On second thought, its also for Retail and Debug units all-in-one.
-
Its named 'Hybrid' because it will work on all Xbox revisions from 1.0 - 1.6.
-
Can't wait for this piece of kit.
-
Luckily, I've finally managed to do it. All I had to do was flash the X2 5035 BIOS onto my PrometheOS installation, copy my logo onto my E drive, and then it shows. Thanks guys for your help. This thread can now be closed.

Haha, that's awesome. Any idea what the text says underneath?
-
Most likely your Xbox is fragging. Double-check that you've soldered the pin header correctly.
-
The cheap PLCC32 DIP adapters have a poor-quality socket, which doesn't latch onto the pins correctly. Normally, I would have to slightly bend the pins on either the chip or the socket to get it to work. Most of the early Aladdin chips often use a 49LF020 chip (not A or B), later ones do have the A or B variants of those chips.
-
That is a 29-wire Ownmod, uses a similar diagram to the Enigmah and Xtender chips. I highly recommend you swap this out with something more modern and clean, such as an OpenXenium chip.
-
I'll check that out. Thank you
-
I'm trying to modify the logo inside of the BIOS, not make an INI config file to locate a custom logo bitmap with the X3 BIOS.
-
I looked in the leak, and it seems like the logo is using some strange encoding algorithm.
-
I would like to know if there's any way of extracting and then injecting a custom Microsoft logo into the Xbox BIOS, usually its "xboxkrnl.exe" I may be wrong.

Thank you, this is far more helpful. Here's the updated TOR link if anybody is looking. http://gd6is466quuhsgzbztyv4sjswdhgfii63wf54qsb32v27xmm5dxbtmid.onion/eur.html

Rock on dude. -
In this well descripted analysis, Markus Gaasedelen has managed to successfully dump the console's secret boot ROM by intercepting the Intel CPU's JTAG functionality with a custom made adapter. Its amazing to see discoveries appear here and there to this very day in 2023, since this can open the full capabilities of the hardware to many hobbyists and hardcore developers. Detailed explanation can be found here: https://blog.ret2.io/2023/08/09/jtag-hacking-the-original-xbox-2023/

Snag up the OpenXenium.

Xbox Crystal Green - suggestions
SylverReZ replied to SpamXDagger's topic in General Xbox Discussion
Those crystal models are great for installing internal LEDs. -
And in the works also, a second version of this chip will come out, be much smaller and will have decoupling capacitors for less power consumption and little to no instances of fragging.
-
A new revision of the Cheapmod Mini is being designed currently. This will have tidied up traces, the correct chip placement for installation, as well as plenty of netting for GND.
-
And yes, this, in theory, will fix the chip back to a working state.
-
CPLD programming requires a Lattice ispDownload cable of which they are extremely cheap nowadays. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001298833117.html
-
In relation to your question, yes, any 49LF020 chip will work regardless.
-
The 49LF020 had a bug where it can accept any address as valid, therefore it will send the data as it requested, that is how earlier cheapmods worked. Later, this bug was fixed in the later 49LF020A/B chips and therefore no longer worked. This is when the Aladdin chips had a CPLD, that created its own LFRAME and address lines that receives back as valid, without cutting the LFRAME on the motherboard.
-
These are going to sell for pretty low of course.

Do i need to replace my hard drive ?

Everybody has their own preference of whether to use a HDD or SSD. I find SSDs to be a lot faster at loading games directly.
