Yes they do. They run unsigned code and allow you to play backups. Everything else is frills.
-
I agree. This isn't worth the effort. Just drop in one of Snapper's modified Aladdin chips and be done with it.
-
Legendary.

They "get the job done".

Pics.

What do you need?
-
If your XBOX is truly TSOP flashed, just boot an installer disk like OGXBOXInstaller or Hexen's and rebuild your console any way you like.
-
Because I doubt they actually flashed a different BIOS to the Aladdin, and merely ruined their installation.
-
You should be able to boot an installer disc and build your hard drive that way.

Ftp transfer fails when I transfer xbmc4xbox.

Not happening. Using an OG XBOX as an HTPC in 2023 would be an exercise in futility....there are just too many better options these days for people to maintain XBMC for such an old console. -
Seriously?
-
The color code on the front panel power button stays a solid green?
-
And they work just fine with the mod too.
-
I've only had Aladdin's without the transistor and three of my mods have reflashed properly. If you have a non-transistor modchip, go for it I suppose.

Aladdin 64 v1. 6 - Failing to flash Cerbios SST 49LF020

It looks like someone tried to butt smuggle that chip into prison. -

What happened to that modchip? -
Check for swelling or leaking capacitors on the motherboard.
-
Is the console hard-modded?
-
I wonder if some people don't know that FRAG actually stands for "flashing red and green"....
-
The "coma console" is a very specific symptom. The term coma doesn't just mean "it won't boot". In many cases, XBOX's that exhibit the "coma" signs can be recovered. Just like the term "FRAG" shouldn't be used for every XBOX that won't boot to the dash.
-
Yes. But a failed MCPX isn't to be confused with a "coma console"....they're different things. The MCPX is essentially the motherboard's northbridge chipset....it controls certain functions of the motherboard. If that chip fails, you'll probably not have error checking or error codes to work from.
-
When the MCPX is gone....it's gone. It's the hidden villain when people go poking around probing resistors....following traces.... A voltage spike will kill your motherboard and you'll have no error code or indication that it's the MCPX.
-
You can hard-wire 12v from the power supply and dial the speed you want in with a potentiometer, diode or voltage regulator.

I wouldn't pay money for a 20+ year old IDE drive.... -
Has there been any work done on this console previously?
