[XBox Audio Buzz/Hum When Using Component Cables]

PureChaosX,

Are you using cheap chinesecables to connect to the TV, it could be the cause, these have lots of interference,

For this mods you need to have a 128 mb ram xbox, question is how do fps behave after applying these patches?

[720p Games Patches(Ips) Thread]

On your videos is only a 128 upgraded xbox or also a upgraded cpu?

Is it worthwhile the ram upgrade? Do games run much slower?

[High Quality Diy Component Cable]

Cian,

 

Ordered a second hand Xbox 360 component from Germany for 12 euros these cables are very cheap because if I'm not mistaken only one Xbox 360 motherboard didn't have hdmi out and almost no one needed the cable hence the low price, it has digital opt out for audio but not going to solder the audio, also have a composite cable which I had beheaded, mine had glue on the solders but with a hair dryer I heated the glue and removed all with my fingers. If I'm not mistaken if you don't bridge pins 6 to 18 and 7 to 19, the console won't identify this cable as a component one.

 

Just don't know which way is easiest the way you chopped the head of the new cable and stripped the cable, or just open the head of the 360 component desolder the ground cables and all others and solder them again in the correct order on the new head.

Already ordered oficial xbox 360 component to do the soldering, I have those cheap Chinese attached to a component to hdmi converter it just enhances the ghosts and low quality image driven by the cheap cable, also remember running same game on a ps2 system with its oficial component cables it looks a lot better than running on a Xbox which is unbelievable. You're right also own a pal system no HD quality cables on sale anywhere

[High Quality Diy Component Cable]

Did you notice an upgrade on image quality? I have a Chinese one and on 480p the image is dreadful still haven't received my 360 for soldering.

 

No problem using the head of the cable of cheap Chinese as long as you do the soldering directly to it not on its cables.

Which dashboard you use? Of course the most famous is Unleashx but XMBC4Kids seems to be feature rich and extremely eye candy of course lots of fan arts to download and settle but very beautiful and professional.

Today ordered what it could be the best game for original Xbox, no more no less than original Splinter Cell game, always liked stealth combat simulation allied with awesome software modding capabilities, the vendor had 10 copies of the game last week, now it only has 4, I guess this game must evaporate in no time, never know what can happen to my current system, and need to buy another one, or have a backup one, the console itself with no mods is even cheaper, in the US you can buy multiple ones form as little as 50 USD

I patched some dlc default.xbe for some games. 

Thank you, will apply on games I have with me,

[XBox Games Fixes Collection]

Alright thanks

[High Quality Diy Component Cable]

Just ordered an original XBOX 360 component and will begin the soldering soon, I don't care about digital coaxial, the initial diagram on the first post works right?

It's very straightforward and comprehensive.

[XBox Games Fixes Collection]

Thanks so much, it was exactly what I was looking for, I guess lots of users will be graceful as well,

[XBox Games Fixes Collection]

Dear All,

Has any of you has a collection of original xbox games fixes, like enabling widescreen and so on, like for instance the website underneath has some fixes to apply for hex editors, tried doing it on Auto Modellista and it didn't work something I did wrong, is there anywhere someone you had already applied these fixes and packed all together?

Thanks

You can just use XBlast OS to flash a new BIOS. No reason to burn more DVDs and have numerous versions of HeXEn. Copy the XBlast OS application to the HDD (latest version is v0.56) and put your desired BIOS file in C:\BIOS.

XBlast OS is the best tool for flashing and is a lot cleaner than HeXEn.

Thanks Forlorn already flashed new bios with the tool you recommended , you're right a lot easier to flash and gave me the feeling of safe patching [emoji4]

Now everything is working as it should, wanna thank all the members of the forum for your help. quite happy with my new console, also own 360 (all versions phat, slim and e) and one S, but this sits as the special one.

 

 

[Made a HeXEn 2018 Update]

Alright xblast seems the easiest way to flash since it flashes winbond as well and it can be ftp.

 

 

On EvoTool which option of the partition enables f & g  for larger HDD, or which is the option on hexen dvd for f & g?

1) Partition 6 takes the rest of the drive

2) Partition 6 takes up to 137gb / partition 7 takes the rest

Thanks

 

 

[Made a HeXEn 2018 Update]

I have a winbond chip, is xblast on the hexen DVD? On the Evo bios config app what is the option to have the biggest HDD, is it partition 6 and 7 with the rest?

 

If is easier to flash by an app way better than burning new DVD is true

 

Progressive mode gives always better image than interlaced, really is funny that on 2016 someone has managed to hack the bios to enable that on all modes, really very useful the hack, I don't have the expertise to do this. Also a user on the original thread has tried and had no problems even it has a new Evo logo.

 

Is amazing how this console is just full of surprises after all these years.

 

 

 

 

 

[Made a HeXEn 2018 Update]

Easiest way to accomplish this would be to replace hexen 2018 bios files with equivalence naming the same, burning the ISO again and flash these new bios

[Made a HeXEn 2018 Update]

Btw if I wanted to try this new bios, on Hexen 2018 for example for the M8 EVOX+ bios for F and G partitions, the file I needed to replace was "evox.m8plus.fc.137.bin" ? Does this file corresponds to the option on Hexen?

 

 

Is there an alternative to flash this bios without hexen, already know the difference between force 480p and component to vga or true HD bios, the later is used more for arcade cabinets.

 

 

[Made a HeXEn 2018 Update]

I have found this thread on another website regarding forcing the XBOX to display force progressive modes, and enabling everything to 480p instead of 480i, well here's the site

For component to VGA

https://assemblergames.com/threads/truehd-vga-xbox-bios-collection-happy-new-year-gift.59405/

To force 480p

https://assemblergames.com/threads/force-480p-xbox-bios-collection-santa-gift.59122/

This could be useful because if someone is using upscallers on interlaced modes, you see vertical lines along the way, but on progessive games the image is perfect, don't know if there's an app to force this, the downside of these bios, is that you have to have mandatory component cables to see anything on your console

Besides the bios itself it also brings hacked editing tools for the bios, so everything is included on this pack.

What are you thoughts on this? I think there's something very interesting on these new bios.

Don't know if the author of the bios MrNova is also a user from this ogxbox.com

TRUEHD VGA XBOX Bios Collection.rar

Force 480p XBOX bios collection v3.rar

Don't know if component-to-vga  are the same as component cables, so I have posted both threats.

[Hd Component Vs Hdmi Dillema]

Already turned on the converter which has upscaled and remove lots of ghosting and now is 1080p, quite happy probably the best image this console can get .

[Removal of Dvd Player]

Forlon,

I was thinking of doing the same, since your last Hexen DVD on EVOX M8+ it doesn't check for dvd drive.

As when you IGR  you notice a small hitch/noise on the dvd drive, checking for a disc. this way you will avoid that,. but on FTP why do you need a DVD in the first place, how many times you install a new HDD on your console.

[Removal of Dvd Player]

Dear All,

I want to unplug or remove the DVD from my XBOX

What is the most convenient way to do this, do you remove the DVD player from the box leaving a tray open for better air flow and afterwards how do you cover the opening, or just unplug the IDE + Power cable and leave the DVD on the box.

As the combination of FTP and larger HDD, the DVD Player gets completely obsoleted.

Thanks

 

 

[Hd Component Vs Hdmi Dillema]

Dear All,

As most users on this forum have faced the same issue, which solution is best for better video quality,

I own a so called "cheap" component cable, which in fact is not so bad as I imaged, besides having a  slight ghosting on the image, when I remove the audio (left/right) rca, the issue is more or less gone, but on the flip coin no sound.

So I figured out what could be to fix the issue of HD picture.

1) I thought of getting a converter from component to hdmi, namely "Portta PETRHS YPbPr Component Video and L/R RCA Audio to HDMI Converter Upscaler 720p 1080p" which converters the signals from the component cable to straight HDMI signals and hopefully the ghosting effect could be gone with this solution, given the treatment the box does to the conversion and have an upscale image.

2) Or ditching the components cable and buy this HDMI Link cable, on amazon

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Original-MASCARRY-No-Mods-Required-Converter/dp/B07JHJB1Y8?SubscriptionId=AKIAJKVC5TM5C4Y6TOSQ&tag=haggle-web-en-21&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B07JHJB1Y8

My system is a 1.4 revision of the Xbox, read horrible stuffs about xbox 1.4 and hdmi converters like Pound, but this one is of a different brand.

What are you thoughts on this?

 

 

 

[Made a HeXEn 2018 Update]

Nice work, I always wondered why the M8+ insisted on the DVD. I have removed the DVD on two builds, this is great.

Sorry for changing topics, after removing the DVD how did you cover the opening left by the bay, or left it open for more air flow?

[Replacement of Stock Fan]

Which paste did you use BTW? Any special one or brand? On my console it must be fully dried, didn't have thermal paste with me gonna buy it next week.
