have you verified those ram modules you bought are the real deal, not counterfeits? where are they sold? asking cuz I might do another 128mb myself, after finishing my current project

those traces look totally trashed in the full size image, have fun fixing that idiot's mess notice that the wires below are always squished on the ground posts in secondhand pre-modded xboxes does the X3 even still work?

for some reason I thought the topic was the type of cords for computer PSUs nevermind...

That's what I wanna know. All of mine went to hell just months after getting them. There are two left that I keep cobbled together with rat tail splices and tape, I don't touch them for months, and yet somehow in that time another part of the wiring inside self destructs. Are these things actually being designed to fail? Reminds me of one time I bought a General Electric audio extension cord at best buy. It stopped working a year later cuz the wires inside literally turned to dust. I was like holy shet... What are they alloying the copper with, crushed chalk? Last time I ever bought any of that garbage brand's designed-to-fail trash.

most days I spend an hour or two slumped back and staring at my wall what's emitting the red light inside? pretty relaxing color combo tbh

where are they selling that for 10 bucks? I hope to fix these consoles without spending any money (or much more time) but if an aladdin lets me tsop AND it's that's cheap somewhere then that's a valuable tip to me, thank you

Clarification please. I have discs now but I see nothing on the tool's github page about fixing a botched softmod or doing any other recovery stuff, only customizing logos and themes. So does it have those functions? Nor do I see how I'm supposed to flash the tsop while the modchip necessary to run a burnt disc is still plugged in. That was possible with my xecuter 2.6ce but not with the chameleon. In fact, I hear that almost all the old modchips, when active, make the tsop inaccessible.

the only possible fix for case scratches I can think of is painting a case with a specialty spray that has a texture to it, I don't have experience with those though I saw an ebay listing where someone used one called herculiner (six coats of it, pic below) and I'd guess that would override any light/moderate scratches https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/8zwAAOSwmPRk7pCk/s-l1600.jpg, but the stuff is expensive iirc for deep scratches/gouges, if it were me I would fill them with JB weld, sand that stuff level with the case and then use a textured spray, that's actually how I did -- with regular spray paint though -- the usb controller port on the foxbox because I didn't feel like plastic welding the gaps left over by the power button hole, pic below I'm not sure what you mean by magic eraser

Well it only works on smooth plastic, not textured kinds like xbox cases. It's about polishing with sandpaper and micromesh pads. If you're dealing with light to moderate scratches on smooth plastic, not deep like someone ran a knife across it, you can polish it back to a basically like-new appearance. You just sand the plastic gently with a series of grits from 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500, 3000 .... in that order. Higher grits than 3000 will make things unbelievably shiny btw. One of the plastic lenses on my infrared safety glasses that I use for forging was scratched bad and when I polished it up to 3000 grit it was already clear as glass again. Pic below is a jewel polished to 1500 grit. I also gotta point out to only use brand name sandpapers/pads, like 3M. I gambled on some cheap off-brand sandpapers last year that are prominent on the different merchant sites, I think the brand name was ADVcer, that were alleged to be 4000 to 15000 grit but they were a scam. You probably knew about basic polishing though.

okay, if it were scratches I had tips ready

What's the matter with the plastic?

Same, they sound dumb. More modern terms and slang though...too many of those have a downright Idiocracy feel to them, and I don't care to live in a world like that, or at least to be exposed to it. Those get filtered. There's enough stress in a day without the news or a blogger or someone talking to me like I'm a retard. Didn't wanna derail things with a rant but it seems OP's problem is practically solved, so yeah... I had no idea other people hate that dumbass word. No joke I was genuinely taken aback.

yeah it's foxreplace, I uh....have problems I remember somehow editing XBMC to change it to applications, but on topic I fudged a softmod like OP once and the dash fix for error 21 with halo 2 didn't work, I wonder how he fared

that odious contraction actually became one of my trigger words, I can't believe other people hate it, too I have a word filter add-on always running these days

do want

well holy crap, how much did that cost?

a third world country calling itself 1st world

when I saw the OP I thought to myself "how big's it gonna be, like 50 gigabytes?" are those rars parts of one large file or are they individual game/emu packs and usable independent from each other? downloading 57GB would take a month

wut I saw like a dozen old threads this past week saying it does resize them

alrighty then, I'll try those eventually (no fresh discs yet)

I just mean its optical drive is so old and picky it won't read a disc that has a little tiny scratch. There was admittedly no use in mentioning that part. I don't even know how to find cerbios by the way. Is xbins still an irc channel or did it move to that trendy discord thing? I don't know what discord is but from the stories I've heard I don't think I wish to know.

no, I see now that my earlier post was confusing, sorry for that the behavior I described (after the installer part) is with the chameleon removed from the xbox I will figure out how to fix this

I don't know if all that is necessary yet, I can still run discs (if they're spotless), so burning a rescue disc or something seems to me the logical next step. But thanks for the offer.

did all that, now this xbox is borked the installer pop-ups were saying that everything went well, the system rebooted, the flubber animation did its stupid thing, then I get a black screen with solid orange front panel lights okay, I'm going to bed...
