The clock cap when new would only retain the time and date for several hours with the mains removed anyway. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

Check the 4 resistor banks next to the IDE connector You should get around 330 ohm on each resistor Test the 2 yellow dots then the 2 orange dots and so on for all 16 resistors, If you get a reading above 350 ohm then that resistor is faulty and you can tack a 330 ohm resistor across the faulty one. You should also consider recapping the board as well. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

You can use any led in place of the clock cap on a 1.6 board, It will only work one way around so if you fit the led and it will not power on refit the led the other way around. You could also extended the LED leads so it's located to the front of the Xbox and shines down from the front panel. Fitting a LED will not change the way the Xbox boots and the only thing that happens is you need to set the clock if you remove the mains power but that happens anyway even with a cap in place. If the Xbox is connected to your home network the clock is set automatically by most modern dash boards. I am not sure what you mean by this ?

Convert the games to CCI (Cerbios Compressed Image) format and you can fit the whole US games list on a 2TB drive with room to spare. On the 2tb drive I use I have around 900 Xbox games and emulators (Coin Opps Massive) with space left.

Normal terrestrial TV (FTA =Free To Air) Although I used to have a pay TV via satellite but that now comes via the internet on the STB (Set Top Box). Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

I don't have the analogue audio connected to the receiver just the coax digital. The receiver then converts to HDMI to send to the screen. The TV is really just a FTA tuner and a screen with the receiver switching from a Cambridge music sever for just audio and STB for streaming music videos with all audio signals being digital.

It defiantly makes a difference, The less you process the signal the cleaner it is Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

My version 1.6 has been like that for years Coax audio and component to the AV receiver then HDMI to the TV The friends used to comment of the sound of the games. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

The version 1.6 Xbox power supplies rely on the PowOk signal from the main board to enter standby mode. When you 1st apply the mains the PSU will output a the 5volt for about a second then the mother board sends the PowOk, From there the power supply will continue to run, when the main board sends the PowOn signal the power supply then enable the high current 5 volt and 12 volt supplies to allow the Xbox to boot. Check the SMD transistor next to the Gold clock cap and the Xyclops chip, It's the transistor on the bottom in the pic There is plenty of YouTube vids on replacing this part. Also testing the 1.6 power supply out of the Xbox is not something I recommend as without a load the voltages will read incorrectly. This is a 1.6 supply running with and without a load and the 12 volt supply is only 6.8 volt and the 5 volt is 4.7 then with a load the 12 volt is now 11 volt and the 5 volt is 5.09 volt Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

Kind of any this is better than the grey nondescript icons Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

I have the M$ dash working as a application in the Applications folder but I can't get my head around making the fancy images to make it look pretty with the "Xbox Artwork Installer Artwork Builder" program. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

Hi all I have a customer that want's the original M$ dash as a app and I can easily set that with a short cut but I am having issues making the artwork to display in xbmc4gamers ( I had a look at the stuff from Rocky5's GitHub on making the images needed and that went over my head). I have looked at the artwork installer but there is nothing there so I am hoping some one here has made the appropriate files I can copy to the folder for the M$ dash.

I am still interested in getting my hands on one if you have any spares. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

Sometimes I think people forget the outlay that goes in to making things. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

Check in the M$ dash to make sure it's not set to mono as normally mono uses the left output Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.
