  1. There is currently nothing out there that provides that option.
  2. USB physical connections don't mean much. Just because it fits doesn't mean it is going to work. There needs to be a driver that tells the Xbox how to use the device plugged into it. In the case of the Xbox, that will not exist. It's not like your pc where people submit their drivers to Windows Update and it just automatically pulls them down when you plug a new device in. That seems to happen so automatically and seamlessly that people have no idea that it is occurring. That's why people think if you just plug something into USB that it's automatically going to work when the physical connection means basically nothing.
  3. You could probably get the job done with that but 18.00 for all of that means it's got to be pretty low quality. Obviously you will get diminishing returns but jobs are always easier and have a higher chance of success when you have good tools. Just using really nice silver bearing solder will improve your work tremendously. The small things add up to make a big difference.
  4. That would be nice. Unfortunately the forum software has no such way to set that. If I modify the skin to put it there, it gets wiped out each time the forum/skin need updates which is every couple of weeks.
  5. nothing can be 100% protected from a careless owner. The good news is, the mistake will only cost you around $30.00 to replace and start over.
  6. Your dvd drive is failing. It's not reading the game partition and only reading it as though it's a dvd movie.
  7. Not going to look through all of those links. If it can be used as a wireless bridge then yes. If it can't, no.
  8. You almost certainly have too many workers. This is how many times it connects to the server. It will kick you if you have too many. Turn it down to 1 or 2 and you'll be fine.
  9. I don't believe such a tool exists. I'm nearly certain of it. It would need to be written.
  10. You can't measure the value while it's in circuit. With SMD caps it's a bit difficult. You need to lift a side of it off of the pad in order to measure it. The best way of going about this is to just get a bead of solder on your tip and heat one side of the cap and gently lift with some tweezers. That side will be molten and as soon as the other side gets soft it will lift a bit. Remove heat and keep holding the tweezers in place for a second or two. Assuming the side you lifted is now disconnected, you can remove the tweezers and measure the value. This is useful since the other memory sockets have the same caps.
  11. I'm thinking this was a partner net console or whatever the beta of Xbox Live was called for devs. (if the eeprom contains an online key that might confirm that?) After that service was taken down someone probably attempted to mod it to retail and failed miserably.
  12. Replace those capacitors and it will most likely come back to life. I'd clean it up with some IPA too.
  13. There are threads on here of people getting 100mhz or more BUT, when people overclock you never know their situation and how long they actually ran it. Also there is really not any benchmarking we can run to make sure it is stable. So it is REALLY difficult to say how far you could push your silicon. If 1mhz down from a crash gets a successful boot, it sound as though we both understand that is still not stable in all likelihood. So I think it might be a bit higher than you're guessing but not as high as reported previously.
  14. it varies for everyone but your assumption wouldn't be correct. Why would they sell something maxed out? Maxed out = unstable. The varying environments the Xbox would be placed in would not always provide adequate cooling. The variance in chip capability would make a large amount of chips unstable even in perfect environments. They always build in some headroom.
  15. I think you may be conflating different things. The reason you'd need a static IP is if you're hosting a website at your house. Then you'd need your IP address to never change so your DNS records will always point to the correct place. Then you'd forward ports to allow the traffic to come inside your home network and go to the web server. If you're just gaming with a console, you don't need a static IP. The ISP can block ports at their end, but chances are they aren't doing that and getting a static IP won't lift that restriction.
  16. Port forwarding allows traffic destined for your public ip on a certain port to get allowed through the firewall and directed to a particular host on your local network.
  17. There is no difference. The instructions will be exactly the same as any other x3 with x3cp installation. Grounding d0 causes the xbox to ignore the tsop and boot from lpc. So it doesn't matter if the TSOP is flashed or not.
  18. There is no need to remove the TSOP. Leave it alone and install the X3.
  19. I'm not going to sit through that tutorial, but did you use a sata hdd or ide? If you used sata, what adapter did you use? What are your jumpers set to?
  20. I don't know... I'm just guessing but did it occur to you that the downloader is supposed to run on the pc and then you ftp the files to your xbox? The topic creator is the creator of the current softmods, and numerous other invaluable programs we all run on our Xboxes. He's not going to put something out that doesn't work. It's more likely that you are misunderstanding the purpose.
  21. Great writeup... for the values "extended slow", "slow", "typical", etc... I wonder if those could be due to the memory test on bootup. Since Samsung sold MS some shit memory chips, the Xbox had to test their stability on boot at various speeds trying to find the lowest common denominator of the 4 memory chips. This is why some Xbox's seem faster than others in spite of them having the same cpu and gpu. So I suppose those addresses could be various memory clocks that the Xbox can set on the fly. I wouldn't think you'd need all of the addresses if it were just making a note of which one was stable as that could be a single address and value. This is obviously all speculation and could be completely wrong. Just thought I'd offer it up.
