I cannot seem to figure out where to place the Cerbios animation files and how to structure the .ini file to point at them. My other question is where to put the XMV player. I guess I need someone to explain it like I was a child or their golden retreiver! Help!

2TB Origins - works on 1.0 but fails on 1.6
AlaskaCC replied to AlaskaCC's topic in General Xbox Discussion
Excellent. Thanks for the suggestion, Dave! -
The 2TB disk works fine, including all games, on my v1.0 console. I installed it in a v1.6 console with an Aladdin chip/Evox F&G bios but it does not load all the games. The files are there, confirmed via File Explorer and FlashFXP, but the games will not start. It loads some games but not all. It will go back to the startup menu. Very strange. Any recommendations?

Origins - Cannot get MS Dash to load...where is it?
AlaskaCC replied to AlaskaCC's topic in Dashboards
The file was hosed. That's why it wouldn't load the dash. I had to copy over a fresh version and now it works fine. Thanks for the suggestion. -
Glad to see you back on the scene. I love that EvolutionX menu!

I have the Origins package on my 2TB drive, which is locked to the console and I cannot get the MS Dash to load. The system freezes. Questions: Can you confirm that the MS Dash is actually included? If not, where do I put it? I have read the stories of people tampering with the menu or structure and having things "blow up". I appreciate any help or suggestions. Thanks.

Thanks. Wiring is the same (for the switch bank) from the pinouts I've looked at and the switch bank has the same number L33-11678 as mine, just a different colour. I might try and fix mine, but if that fails, what would you want for it including shipping to the UK? To get you back in the game, I'll do $10 plus shipping. First Class International would probably be best. I do not know how much that would be.

I have a spare 2.3B Lite that I can part with. It has the switch bank. I see some differences but don't know if the wiring is the same.

Thanks for the responses. It sounds like more than I want to take on right now.

The X3 on top works perfectly. The one on the bottom gets smoking hot and will not boot. I am guessing there is a short to ground but not sure what to check. Any ideas? What typically fails on these?

I have one that is missing two buttons. You can see the pics in this thread:

I am willing to upload it if someone wants to host it.

HDDSuperClone is a Linux-only program? https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1YdjHdjQbi0fig5BzCJgyGyC9tilnDJ6j The author has made it open source.

I have a clear pro switch but it is missing the protect button. I may have pulled it and the #4 button off to replace some on another unit that is now gone.

$20 + shipping.

I have about 18 of these for sale. I acquired them from a friend that was into case modding. I think they are the GhostCase Kits but I do not see any labeling that confirms it. Not looking for retail. What is a fair deal?
-
Which of the drives only require new firmware, the power connector fix and other minor wiring changes? I thought it was only the 8163B and Samsung's 616T or 616E. Doesn't the 8164 require a different daughterboard? I never heard anything about the 8050 as a possibility.
-
Send me a PM and let me know if you are interested. I have at least 5 available.

There was no voltage reading on the IC, although I have 120V at the power supply. So if I understand correctly, you are suggesting that I solder a connecting wire from the IC light blue pin to the light blue point near the power/eject button and same for the purple. Is that right? Is it okay to use Kynar wire for that?

I have several boards (1.0, 1.1 & 1.4) that will not power up with a known good power supply. Capacitors all look good and there are no visible signs of damage or component failure anywhere. Are there typical failure points that I should check? Would it be worth it to replace the power caps anyway? Thanks for any help. I hate to ditch these boards or just use them for parts.

That is customary for the Philips DVD drives that I have used.

Had to do a fresh install of FlashFXP. Cannot remember how to move 0-byte files. Just changed the Transfer Mode to Binary instead of Automatic. Hopefully that will fix it. Looking from some help on this one. Thanks.

100% perfect timing. I was just moving a modchip from a 1.6 box to a 1.4 and was preparing to use Hexen. I backed up my C drive, knowing that Hexen would drop garbage all over everything and I'd have to rebuild. I was reading the recent messages here and saw your post. I immediately downloaded and used the DVD. You get a gold star and bonus points for the swift load time. The menu is simple, clear and concise. There are plenty of options. I especially liked having access to some of the programs and system menu. I'll keep using it and provide feedback as I go along. Props to you!

The Pro Switch package comes with a power switch bypass board, as seen in the attached image. This console did not have that important piece installed. I opened one of my other X3's and was doing some comparison. I pulled the little board and tried it in the other console to prove-out the problem/fix. That resolved it. Thanks for the suggestions and help. I sincerely appreciate it.

3294 BIOS. I put the chip on a new board (1.0), in the same case, and the same thing happens. It will not boot to the MS Dash by holding down the power button. Is it possible the power switch is a bit funky. There are some LED mods in there and I'm wondering if that is impacting in some way. I also flashed a fresh copy of 3294 and it didn't seem to make any difference. I can force it to boot the MS Dash by changing the order in the X3 menu but that is not a solution.
