Have you tested a different bios (Ind 5004) on one of the other banks? Did you configure the bios with Cerbios tool so the bios is looking at the correct location for the dashboard? It's the MakeMhz OpenXenium chip refusing to work with Cerbios HaHa Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

I have read about people just adding a link and the Xbox will think it's got a flat capacitor and start up, I have tested that and it works but it not some thing I was comfortable leaving like that. I saw a comment from a long term Xbox repairer about a year ago and he fitted a LED in place of the capacitor in a 1.6 and that Xbox has been in use for years constantly, sort of like a standby light Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

Here is a pic of a clock cap out of a 1.6 and it's started to leak just like the older version in the 1.0-1.4 Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

Have you set the fan speed to 30 in the cerbios.ini file? Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

Yes there is On the 2.3.1 you set the button combination with a configuration program that sets it in the bios file Try Left trigger, Right trigger, Dpad up, Back ; A = 0, B = 1, X = 2, Y = 3, BLACK = 4, WHITE = 5, LEFT_TRIGGER = 6, RIGHT_TRIGGER = 7 ; DPAD_UP = 8, DPAD_DOWN = 9, DPAD_LEFT = A, DPAD_RIGHT = B, START = C, BACK = D, LEFT_THUMB = E, RIGHT_THUMB = F ; IGR Dash Combo, Resets back to dashboard, If ISO is mounted then keep it mounted as IGRDash = 67CD ; IGR Game Combo, Resets the current loaded game IGRGame = 467C ; IGR Full Combo, Full system reset IGRFull = 467D ; IGR Shutdown Combo, Full system shutdown IGRShutdown = 678D Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

Just run WDidle 3 and that disables the power save then you basically have a WD blue Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

Best to upload some good pics of the inside to a file share site and add the links here.. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

How high a temp are you talking and what version of board and dash My 1.6 with a Evox dash reports 64c 30 seconds from power on at room temp and it will still be 64c 2 days later. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

Generally is only the emulators and dash boards that benefits from the extra ram. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

I have tested this game on my Xbox using the cerbios and xbmc4gamers as the dash board and it loads 100% ok Maybe it's time to use a new dash board that will automatically run the game in Pal or NTSC-j if needed.

Cerbios and patched Ind 5003 both support 128meg ram most games don't support the extra ram unless you patch each game, chihiro will use all available ram. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

So you mate is a fluid engineer? (air is classed as a fluid) He is correct about the stock heat sinks and even the stock fan works well when clean. But the HDD and DVD trays form part of the ducting for the cooling and running the Xbox with out them it will add around 15 to 20c on the CPU temps I use a 3D printed shroud when testing the was designed by a member here to keep the temps down Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

When using cerbios on a version 1.1 when I check the info page is reports 97meg free and the same Xbox with Stella I get 33meg free With the Stella chip With Cerbios Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

If they are in poor shape I sand and paint them I have been repairing electronics for 40 plus years and have seen all sorts of erratic behaver from poor grounding and missing shields I get annoyed when people say M$ put the shield there just because of FCC regulations.

If the board is a 1.0 to 1.4 then you can use conductive paint instead of solder to link the two write enable points. The it a thread here that has the files you need to re-flash the onboard bios with out preforming a softmod 1st then once you have successfully re-flashed the on board bios then you can use Fatxplorer V3.0 beta to format and install the files needed to drop the new drive in to the Xbox and it will boot. As an example it takes around 3 to 4 days to fill a 2tb drive with games via FTP and well under a day to do the same with Fatxploer V3.0 Beta Here is a tutorial on using Fatxplorer https://www.hazeno.com/ogxbox-large-hdd-cerbios https://www.hazeno.com/og-xbox-hdd-2tb-and-under Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

I have the same feeling about soft modded It's a onboard bios re-flash or mod chip. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

I have also found out that xbmc4gamers will not use the full 128meg ram and apparently that will get fixed soon with yet another update! Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

I had that happen when I didn't have the cerbios.ini file on the HDD/SSD C drive as I think it defaults to "Drive setup=0" Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

Did you power on with the Eject button or there is no bootable drive present try setting no DVD in the cerbios.ini ; Drive Setup ; 0 = HDD & DVD, 1 = HDD & No DVD (Legacy Mode), 2 = HDD & No DVD (Modern Mode), 3 = Dual HDD DriveSetup = 1 Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

This is how is set the boot order in Cerbios.ini ; Dash paths (always falls back to \Device\Harddisk0\Partition2\xboxdash.xbe) DashPath1 = \Device\Harddisk0\Partition1\xbmc4gamers\default.xbe DashPath2 = \Device\Harddisk0\Partition2\evoxdash.xbe DashPath3 = \Device\Harddisk0\Partition2\avalaunch.xbe Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

I tested my Aladdin Xblast chip and powering on with the power button with the BT held low (ground) to boots to the nominated bios file and with the BT not connected it loads Xblast menu The term BT is probably short for button Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

Partition 1 = E drive Partition 2 = C drive Partition 6 = F drive Partition 7 = G drive D drive is the DVD drive Normally you have xbmc4gamers on E drive Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

I tested Froza with Cerbios and it boots fine Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

On a stock Aladdin chip if the power switches on with the BT held low it boots with the chip active The X3 chip has connections to the power and eject buttons to determine what happens According to wiki The Lframe This active-low signal indicates the beginning of an LPC bus transaction. Driven by the host only. I suspect that when you power on with the eject button there is some data on the LPC port that the chip sees and knows that's a eject button. You can try it Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

Did the games ever boot? Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.
