  1. In theory you could put a 10farad cap in place of the 1farad but would take 2 to 3 days to fully charge if it didn't damage the charging circuity with the inrush current. Cheers SS Dave Those that can Hard-Mod. Those that can't Soft-Mod.
  2. I would highly recommend that you get the correct power supply the version 1.6 power supply's I have here are always hot even in stand by mode. I have used a non contact thermometer and get temps around 45c in a room temp of 25c where as the others are always room temp in standby. Plus the version 1.6 has a 5 volt in standby that would need switching off. Cheers SS Dave Those that can Hard-Mod. Those that can't Soft-Mod.
  3. I went to the local ripoff electronics shop up the road from me. SS Dave Those that can Hard-Mod. Those that can't Soft-Mod.
  4. That one will do the job fine. Cheers SS Dave Those that can Hard-Mod. Those that can't Soft-Mod.
  5. Not really as just over 2 years ago Is stumbled across a torrent with 90% of the Xbox games in it from memory it was 1.6 terabyte zipped that I uploaded to a 2tb drive and no I can't remember where it came from. Most of the games I had before I got the torrent where done by swapping games for Xbox upgrades. I mod you Xbox for a copy of your games I don't have type of thing. You may have to wait until you get a bigger hard drive and then use DVD2Xbox. Cheers SS Dave Those that can Hard-Mod. Those that can't Soft-Mod.
  6. Hi QuazyPat What version of DVD2Xbox are you using I remember that some games had ACL errors when copping to a Xbox hard drive I just can't remember much more than that it' been that long since I have used DVD2Xbox 15+ years. Cheers SS Dave Those that can Hard-Mod. Those that can't Soft-Mod.
  7. I don't think the circuit that's for the clock cap would charge NiMh batteries unless the Xbox was powered on for days possibly weeks even. The clock Cap was only ever for short term time and date retention any way Your best bet try a 2.5F 2.5 volt cap I don't think the circuitry around the clock cap would correctly charge any thing bigger or like me fit a network port in every room. Cheers SS Dave Those that can Hard-Mod. Those that can't Soft-Mod.
  8. As the clock cap was only able keep the time for several hours replacing it is not really worth it.. All my Xbox's get the time and date set/updated via the internet on power up any way. Cheers SS Dave Those that can Hard-Mod. Those that can't Soft-Mod.
  9. Lets do baby steps and fit the chip you have ordered and get the Xbox running 1st Cheers SS Dave Those that can Hard-Mod. Those that can't Soft-Mod.
  10. Hi Swirlygiver The BIOS that's supplied in the Aladdin chip will work with all Xbox's (version 1.0-1.6) I would say leave it as is for now. You fit the mod chip and then you should be able to use a install disk(Hexen,Slayers,etc etc) to get the Xbox up and running. Cheers SS Dave Those that can Hard-Mod. Those that can't Soft-Mod.
  11. Hi coptimus I know where your coming from my 55+ year old eyes are not what they used to be and with out my goggles I can't read a computer screen so I use something like this' 80% of the time it's just a desk lamp the other 20% for close up work (fitting 100pin ram chips). I took a small PCB to the shop and tried it 1st. Cheers SS Dave Those that can Hard-Mod. Those that can't Soft-Mod.
  12. Hi Bot_1 I took 4 weeks holidays in July 2019 and have not been back so it's been relaxing for me. So with your mod chip I would remove the Orange from L1and the Red from L2 and the Yellow from the BT point then add a link from BT to Pin 2. You can leave the D0 connected to ground. The LED mods are some thing I have yet to do much with the only one I have done with LED's is to replace the eject ring for a blue only setup This one is for a 7 year old . As for the Aladdin mod chip I have 3 different styles it's the most cloned mod chip . The one on the right was pulled from a non working box and the problem was crap soldering to the board had damaged the traces on the chip that's why the links to see if it still worked and it is working. The middle one is a new one straight from china the I added the link for enable and the red wire is for the led switching via the 3.3 volt power in a version 1.6.There is a cut trace under the wire to disconnect the 5 volt supply. With the version 1.0 you can flash the BIOS reasonably easily to save on the cost of a mod chip or fit a Aladdin chip to it as well. I would flash it as the only chips I fit are in Version 1.6's Cheers Dave
  13. I would not mind getting copy's of the schematic if you happy to share Cheers SS Dave Those that can Hard-Mod. Those that can't Soft-Mod.
  14. That's good to hear I had forgot about the long delay that Hexen has. Cheers SS Dave Those that can Hard-Mod. Those that can't Soft-Mod.
  15. What version Xbox And mod chip if it has one ? If you not sure post some pick's Cheers SS Dave Those that can Hard-Mod. Those that can't Soft-Mod.
  16. 1st thing is remove the clock and repair any damage and then add the links to enable the TSOP Flash. If the OE drive is working I then copy the came save to the OE drive then load the game and reflash the BIOS. If the OE drive is not functioning or not available then I do the following. Fit the 10 gig drive after clock cap and links are added On the 10 gig drive it has 3 sets of game saves 1 for 007 Agent Under Fire 1 for Splinter Cell 1 for Mechassalut I use a Open Xenium chip edit the EEprom and lock the drive and when the drive is locked I remover the chip and the D0 link and boot to the MS dash and load 1 of the 3 games an run the game save then flash the TSOP with what ever BIOS I think is going to be needed. After it's all flashed I unlock the drive with the same mod chip. You can also make your own Xblast mod chip and do the same. Cheers SS Dave Those that can Hard-Mod. Those that can't Soft-Mod.
  17. Hi YokaiFox I am good and how are you? Cheers SS Dave Those that can Hard-Mod. Those that can't Soft-Mod.
  18. Hi Patrick I am sure the file your looking for is out there, But if you have a look in the store on this site for the cost of a take away coffee you can start download now. Cheers SS Dave Those that can Hard-Mod. Those that can't Soft-Mod.
  19. Hi Daniele. That depends on the problem as to what section you post in. Cheers SS Dave Those that can Hard-Mod. Those that can't Soft-Mod.
  20. The mod-chip and TSOP flash have the same chance of failing it boils down to how work you want to put in to it. Me I have a old 10gig drive that I use to lock to the Mother board with a mod chip then boot of the MS bios and flash with my own version of splinter cell hack, I then unlock the drive for the next main board that needs flashing. Then load a install disk and format and install a new dash etc etc There is others as well for 007AUF and Mechassault. Cheers SS Dave Those that can Hard-Mod. Those that can't Soft-Mod.
  21. Yep Fit a mod chip lock the drive and remove the chip reflash the TSOP then remove softmod. For the cost of an Aladdin chip (Around $4 usd) I would just leave the chip fitted unless you plan on using the chip in a different Xbox. Cheers SS Dave Those that can Hard-Mod. Those that can't Soft-Mod.
  22. The Xbox won't boot off the 2nd drive as it's not locked to the Xbox so the short answer is no the quick easy way is to fit a mod chip and scrap the Soft-Mod. Cheers SS Dave Those that can Hard-Mod. Those that can't Soft-Mod.
  23. The only difference between a version 1.2-1.4 US and Euro power supply is the input voltage with the same for the other versions as the output voltage is the same world wide. Cheers SS Dave Those that can Hard-Mod. Those that can't Soft-Mod.
  24. You could try making a new Hexen disk and when your burning it set the write speed as slow as the burner will go , Also some USB style DVD/CD writers are slower than built in one's. I also have a preference for Verbatim DVD-r disk's but you may need to try different brands and types DVD-r, DVD+r, DVD-rw it can be hit and miss. As Admin has posted now that you can network in to the Xbox that's the most reliable way to get files on your Xbox. And as it's been mentioned before the all the drives are getting to the end of there life and the 1st sign is having problems reading copied disk's and slightly marked ones. Cheers SS Dave Those that can Hard-Mod. Those that can't Soft-Mod.

    I would say no. The easy way is to fit a mod-chip the you can fit a new hard drive the use a install disk of your choice to set up the drive to you liking, There are mod chip's for around $4usd and upwards. Cheers SS Dave Those that can Hard-Mod. Those that can't Soft-Mod.
