I have a set of good RAM chips I’d be willing to get you for shipping cost. Also got a board to go with it if you need the spare SMD components. I’m not aware of where you can source those chips at this point beyond other dead units.

This is the guide I used, it works well. Grab a flathead to remove the tabs, it’s surprisingly easy once you know what to do. http://www.dynatron.org/howto/XBOX/buildit/disassemble/face.html

Well. They’ll work 50% of the time. First boot they’re spinning up, don’t respond to the Xbox. Error 7 occurs due to HDD timeout. Reboot and all all is well. I’d suggest against BUYING one for this purpose but if you’ve got a green laying around it’s better than Stock.

Really, any SATA drive that doesn’t take a ridiculously long time to spin up will work. Even those are okay, they’re just so slow you have to start the console twice to actually make them get to dash. Think WD Greens.

DoomX. DukeX. Maybe you could fit QuakeX on there - any of the three. I’d suggest just using any emulator pre-5th gen. The rom sets are incredibly small.

As far as I can tell there’s little if any practical difference so long as you use the latest ones.

From what I read of the thread you linked it looks like XBlast is meant to be flashed onto the chip at a specific location in the chip’s memory. I’d expect that if you booted on another bank after successfully flashing XBlast THAT would work. But it doesn’t seem like the initial flashing of XBlast can be done within the Xbox itself. Rig up a CheapLPC and use that. Never done this particular mod myself so I’m not certain however.

You know. I always thought that shortcut was weird. I ended up just removing it because I couldn’t get it to work. The config.xml for UnleashX will probably be in C:/ which controls the menu layout. Locate the directory it’s scanning for XBMC there and move XBMC to match it. It may be necessary to create your own menu item for it which is doable but a bit more involved. If you don’t feel like doing that UnleashX settings can also create a shortcut for it in Settings > gamepad/IR shortcut. It’ll launch whatever you like based on a particular button press, and if you flashed IND-BIOS on you can reboot with the controller, then hold say “A” and XBMC will come up on its own. For reference, Here is a link to a modified config.xml which references the XBMC location as E:/Apps/XBMC/default.xbe.

Just trying to get a better read on my CPU for patching games. 1480 works on some but others are a bit more finicky.

That’s the way to do it, then!

To wot M8

BAHAHA! I actually really like this idea.

The closest thing I know of to such a premade pack would be, eh, CoinOPS? You could download CoinOPS massive and I suspect that would get what you need. Personally I can’t stand CoinOPS because i think the front end is gaudy. I’ve a few SNES games that wouldn’t transfer and never bothered to fix. Check the names of the affected games. Are they longer than 42 characters, including the file extension? they would have to be shortened if so. The snes library I believe is well under one thousand, but there’s also a limit of 4096 files in one particular folder on FATX. Batch renaming often isn’t going to give you something very close to the original names, but if the length of the names is an issue on option would be to drop the affected games into a folder on your computer, CTRL-A to select all of them, and rename any one of the files. This would rename EACH of those files to whatever you choose to the name you entered, with the number appended. Such as: thisdidntfit1 thisdidntfit2 thisdidntfit3 and so on. In the end you’d still have to rename them but you could do it over time.

OK, United States.

Got a dead 1.1, a 1.0, and a fried X2.1 Lite for anyone that wants them. Each has pretty extensive problems. Cost is just whatever it takes to ship. Hope they go to a good home, haven’t been of any use to me even as scrap boards. I just try my damnedest not to nuke them in the first place these days!

Hey man, that’s what they’re For! They’re damn fun consoles to play on and to mod on. I’m. Just glad we could get another box going. You should see some of my own threads. It doesn’t always end so well happy gamong, bud.

Damn man you just can’t seem to escape the problems you’re almost there though. You don’t need a specific version of Rocky5 to make it work on your console. Fortunate, because there isn’t one. ON a stock HDD you will see no F:\ partition C:\ 500MB E:\ 5GB X, Y, Z,:\ 750MB each. I’m a little tipsy but this comes out to about 7.8GB. No surprise you don’t see an F:\ partition. When you upgrade, you should be able to use an F:\ up to roughly 490GB. If it doesn’t show you can just use XBpartitioner to redo it, and that should work. when you install Rocky5, just make sure your dashboard is booting from one of Rocky’s supported paths AS WELL as your Bios’es. I’m not sure offhand what M8+ looks for, but my TSOP+softmod consoles boot from C:\default.xbe. Worst case scenario, bash your head against the wall a few times just like you did to boot HeXen in the first place. Open the file explorer. Rename whatever your dash is and remove it to C:\evoxdash.xbe edit: can’t remember what the dash config was back when I used M8+, but on IND-BIOS my consoles boot from the above. I edited the .cfg to do that, though.

Nah man you good. If 2002 + no GPU fan it’s likely a 1.1. Gotta ask to find out If it works with another TV or original cable, I can’t offer much besides maybe your cable has failed somehow. I would guess this is NOT the case however, as unless you’ve installed IND-BIOS and disabled the AV check it will clearly flash orange/green on startup to indicate no A/V. Bad bios will however not do this. Since you likely have a 1.1, crack ‘Er open if my above solutions fail and check just above the GPU heatsink (on the left of the front of the console faces you) and look for a chip with a lot of pins. If it says conexant, go down and to the left and look for the LPC port. It’s basically just 16 big holes in the mid-left portion of the board. The nearest IC to this is the console’s TSOP chip. What is it? Post everything it says on the chip. Depending on its model, you can do some very, very, very minor soldering to boot from another copy of the BIOS stored on the console. Here is a link from this site which shows how to split your TSOP. You may be in luck and successfully boot from another bank. Try all three. Don’t bother with the 3.3V lines, just bridge A18 to ground, then A19, then both. Test after each attempt

Hmm. No video with no apparent diagnostics. Few things could be going on. I have a 1.6 with a failing video port; sometimes it seems to boot perfectly and others I have to wiggle the AV cable around a bit to get anything out of it. Try that and see if it reboots, whether or not you get video. It may be necessary to reflow or replace the video port, or just be really fiddly with it to make it work Of course as always try another cable and tv. It happens! To this end, what kind of cable are you using? Composite, component, hdmi, vga? less likely based on what you’be described but the last thing I would think of is a bad/failed BIOS. do you know what revision your motherboard is? On a 1.0 or 1.1 it’s Exceedingly easy to test this out, but otherwise you’d need a modchip to rule out a bad bios.

Also, please do cool it on the thread creation

They’re pretty much all the same, but PS1 and N64 emulators have spotty compatibility. As I mentioned in your Homebrew thread check out emuxtras. The latest and greatest emulators are there.

I like to think we have a pretty good community around here and the downloads section is nice. Plus you’ll see some of the most badass mods and collections here that there exist. Look up @thePiratePimp‘s collection. Ryzee119 made multiple dope mods, like the OGx360. And it’s just a fun place to hang out. You’ll see me around here a lot

Buy literally any SATA hard drive, a startech IDE2SAT adapter, and an 80-wire 40-pin ide cable. That’s what’s required. The cheap adapters work too but they’re a bit harder to start with and occasionally nuke your drive because the QC on them sucks How you do it depends on whether you use a softmod or a TSOP/Chip to boot a modified bios.

Most of the good ones are ports. Quake 1-3, Doom, come to mind. Check out the emuxtras forum, I believe that’s where I got most of mine. You can even find some on here.
