Cian, I made one of these cables and it works wonderful, that was about a year ago. But hear is the deal, I am getting a super nice TV, but it only has composite and S-video. Do you have any tips for me? Could I add Svideo to this cable somehow? Thank you Cian!!

So this is my struggle, I bought a japanese Sega Saturn model 2 more than a year ago. The power switch on it came completely destroyed. No refunds for me, because it wasn't the seller fault, etc. After 1 year of procrastinating, I tried to fix my Saturn. And believe it or not, I found the part I was looking for to fix the power switch!! I could not believe it, because I live in Chile, near the south pole, and an old tech geezer had the part I was looking for! I was so happy! I fixed it, so I thought, but I came down with the reality that now the PSU was completely dead. Aesthetically the PSU is perfect!! Nothing blown, nothing cracked, and nothing corroded. I already tried to fix it with the help of a great guy on Reddit, but to no avail. So here it is my idea, could anyone in this wonderful community spare with me a Saturn PSU? A PAL 220v PSU hopefully? I have in my possesion three 220v OG Xbox PSU's and one 110V American OG Xbox PSU. I could give any of those PSU's in return for a PAL Sega Saturn PSU, my PSU's are perfect and all working great! My best regards to everyone! You have always been great to me. Hector Hidalgo.

Need Skin for Crt Tv (4:3) With Cover Support
Hector Hidalgo replied to Hector Hidalgo's topic in UnleashX Skins
Actually after months I have learned a lot of dashboard skins, do support covers on Unleashx. The problem is that the covers look very tiny and small. For covers, ask Anarchy42085 for a link to his media files and covers, I have the link, but I don't know if it's OK to share "his" work. Just ask him if you need those covers. Cheers. -
Why Are XBox Power Supply Upgrades Neglected?
Hector Hidalgo replied to US-Solidsnake8997's topic in General Xbox Discussion
So you are saying ALL (Tuscany, Delta, etc) PSU's get warm while only plugged in to the wall? And with the Xbox turned off? It would be a bummer, because I bought this PSU in hopes of simply keeping it plugged in to the wall all the time without having to worry... and of course so I don't have to use a heavy and noisy power down converter (110v to 220v). And thank you Dave for your always amazing and constructive feedback Is always nice to read your experiences on the matter, is cool. -
Why Are XBox Power Supply Upgrades Neglected?
Hector Hidalgo replied to US-Solidsnake8997's topic in General Xbox Discussion
Mostly the government stealing money from me, about 33 dollars exactly, and they marked my power supplies like they costed 100 dollars the package and from that completely fictitous number, they charged the TAX. By the way SS Dave, I am doing my replacement of the power supply right at this moment. Do you know wich PSU is better? I have 3 Delta PSU's and 1 Tuscany. The only difference is that the Tuscany seems to have more copper resistors and staff. Any idea of which is a better brand? Thank you Dave! You are super helpfull -
Why Are XBox Power Supply Upgrades Neglected?
Hector Hidalgo replied to US-Solidsnake8997's topic in General Xbox Discussion
In my case I am just happy upgrading my USA PSU 110v to a 220v PAL PSU, that N64freak sent me. I needed this because in my country Chile we have 220v but NTSC format. Sadly customs charged me almost 35 dollars in TAX, because according to them, it was a console... I am still happy though, custom bastards won't take away my happyness (the problem was that N64freak sent me 4 PSU, that's the other reason I got taxed...) Cheers to all. -
Chimp Blackscreen, I Don't Have Composite Cables!
Hector Hidalgo replied to Hector Hidalgo's topic in Applications
I have a softmodded Xbox. Imposible to buy a chip in my country, well I guess there is 1 guy who sells the Aladdin chip, but why do that when you have a sofmodded able Xbox? (mine came softmodded, old softmod but good enough). No matter, everything has worked so far, so we can leave this thread as "solution found" etc. Thanks to all of you guys.- 4 replies

Chimp Blackscreen, I Don't Have Composite Cables!
Hector Hidalgo replied to Hector Hidalgo's topic in Applications
I did just that! But then I learned that you only have to plug the "green" cable into the yellow composite input and you will see a black and white crappy image, but good enough to use chimp once... sadly I had already made the composite cable, almost destroying 1 of my fingers in the process- 4 replies

XBox Chimp Cannot Allocate Resources! Cannot Clone Hdd!
Hector Hidalgo replied to Hector Hidalgo's topic in Applications
Thanks Kaos, I've already done that, because without it, I wouldn't be able to see anything on the sides. But no matter what I do I just cannot make the fonts, letters, etc look bigger, they are too small, because this dashboard is probably meant for HD TV's. I guess I would have to try to mod XBMC4gamers myself... Thanks Kaos, for your time and your always nice feedback Hector. -
XBox Chimp Cannot Allocate Resources! Cannot Clone Hdd!
Hector Hidalgo replied to Hector Hidalgo's topic in Applications
Thanks for that info Nikey! By the way, what dashboard do you recommend for using with a CRT (4:3 480i) I have used Xbmc4gamers and even though is nice, it is way too big for my screen, I cannot see what button does what etc. I am using UnleashX and sure, is good for my 4:3 TV, but Xbmc4gamers seems faster and it also has those nice covers. I wish I could find something like Xbmc4gamers but with bigger fonts! Bigger UI etc! But I cannot seem to find anything like that. A patched version of Xbmc4gamers with bigger fonts would be ideal for me, and for anyone using a CRT honestly. If you know any dashboard like this, please let me know! Thank you all again for your time, Hector. -
XBox Chimp Cannot Allocate Resources! Cannot Clone Hdd!
Hector Hidalgo replied to Hector Hidalgo's topic in Applications
Mmm interesting, because my 5400 sata is about exactly 2 seconds slower than my old IDE drive. That woud mean that it doesn't make much of a difference. Maybe using the Startech Sata to IDE adaptor we could gain those 2 or 3 seconds back using the Sata 7200 drive, so it could be just as fast as an IDE 7200 drive. I only have the chinese sata to IDE adaptor, didn't know about the Startech when I bought mine. Thanks for the input SS Dave, this is all very interesting to me -

Hector Hidalgo replied to Hector Hidalgo's topic in Applications
Nikeymikey, why you say it may not be worth it, in your country 3.5 7200rpm drives are also more expensive?(they are here for some reason). Because now that I have been searching in my city, is hard to get one in a good price. On the other hand 2.5 5400rpm are everywhere and cheap, I am using a 500gb from a PS4 Slim I "used to" have, HGST brand. Still, now that I have been using the Xbox for a while, everything seems a bit faster, also, with the Maxtor I would get 6 seconds between the black screen (after microsoft logo) and entering UnleashX, with the adaptor and sata drive it takes 8 seconds. That's about it, and having 10 big games installed. I think is good Cheers and man I am so happy, sadly I am starting with a bad flu right now, crap... hahahha uuuhhhh... -

Hector Hidalgo replied to Hector Hidalgo's topic in Applications
You mean that using a 7200rpm and a 5400rpm is irrelevant due to the adapter making any HDD equally slower? -
XBox Chimp Cannot Allocate Resources! Cannot Clone Hdd!
Hector Hidalgo replied to Hector Hidalgo's topic in Applications
Yes Kaos that is exactly what I got! But then I just said, screw this, and pressed A and it was like pressing enter, and entered Chimp. There was no where on the Internet that would tell you about this, I assumed Chimp simply wasn't compatible with my HDD and never thought to just press A, which I did eventually and it worked, not witstanding the errrors. Thanks Kaos -

Hector Hidalgo replied to Hector Hidalgo's topic in Applications
Nikey, do you know if using a 7200rpm Sata HDD makes a difference vs a 5400rpm Sata HDD? I am using a 5400rpm HDD and it is a bit slower to boot compared to my old IDE Maxtor 40gb. I mean now that I am going to start transfer all these games (which will take days) I rather know right away the truth about this. If it does not make a difference then that's great. Cheers Nikey and thank you for your feedback, and to all other posters I thank you also, hope my experience also help others! -
XBox Chimp Cannot Allocate Resources! Cannot Clone Hdd!
Hector Hidalgo replied to Hector Hidalgo's topic in Applications
Kaos, I left 1024MB free and XBPartitioner allowed me to use all my HDD space (except that 1gb of course) on the F partition There must be some kind of explanation, I just know it works! Thanks Kaos! -
XBox Chimp Cannot Allocate Resources! Cannot Clone Hdd!
Hector Hidalgo replied to Hector Hidalgo's topic in Applications
Yes! I did it! The trick was leaving at least 1024mb free and then created the F partition! And it worked!! ahahahaha YES I DID IT! FINALLY, you guys have no idea how much I have struggled to get to this point! In my country all of these things are super hard to come by, console included. Now I have 468gb on F partition -
XBox Chimp Cannot Allocate Resources! Cannot Clone Hdd!
Hector Hidalgo replied to Hector Hidalgo's topic in Applications
Yes, I used it! And I made the F partition to use the MAX 469,249,38 MB but the problem is that at least on UnleashX, it shows only 258.560,56 MB free, a bit more than half. MMm, I am almost there though! What could it be! And yes I used the latest version -

Hector Hidalgo replied to Hector Hidalgo's topic in Applications
G partition? I didn't know that existed. Is XBpartitioner an APP you use on the Xbox? or is it a windows program? Thanks Can you install games on the G partition? I mean I would like to have F for all the games if possible. Sorry for all the questions! Cheers! And thank you. -

Hector Hidalgo replied to Hector Hidalgo's topic in Applications
Kaos thank you so much for you input. I did it! But now the problem is that I only have 123.408.50 MB free on my F partition! I have a 500gb HDD and I used the second option on Chimp (F occupies all available space). What could it be...? Thank you Kaos you are really welcome, and I am so happy to see you in this thread My best regards, Hector. -
XBox Chimp Cannot Allocate Resources! Cannot Clone Hdd!
Hector Hidalgo replied to Hector Hidalgo's topic in Applications
What happened was that my Slave HDD was locked and chimp was unable to unlock it on startup, but I started chimp anyways and from within Chimp I unlocked the slave HDD and now I am cloning the master to the HDD! I don't really know how I did that. But I hope it ends up correctly. Cheers and thanks for the advice and the info. -

XBox Chimp Cannot Allocate Resources! Cannot Clone Hdd!
Hector Hidalgo replied to Hector Hidalgo's topic in Applications
Guys Guys I am almost there! I disregarded the unnallocated bullshit, and then just waited and started chimp. Later I saw that my Slave HDD was locked, maybe I locked it myself about a month ago! When I was working with XboxHDM23! I went to the Slave HDD options, and I unlocked it using the Motherboard option. It unlocked! Now I am cloning the Master HDD into my Slave Hdd!! Fingers crossed! -
