  1. That is exactly what MakeMHz is trying to prevent many of us from doing. Just over the last few days MakeMHz has issued a number of DMCA's and Legal Threats across the community. For simply sharing information found in this very thread... MakeMHz doesn't what the Xbox Modding Community as we know it to survive! EDIT: It's getting to the point that many people won't show their support for me publicly due to potential repercussions from MakeMHz...
  2. All good, no offence but these are things we should address... Some might not see it that way, is it still not the IP of Microsoft? I don't think Microsoft license allows tampering of any kind. Besides I'm sure you like many others have or still do use modified bioses and backup games, true?
  3. Correct... How is dumping EEPROM from the Original Xbox any different? Trying to point out that, this is the very nature of what we do in this community. Modchips by definition are devices that circumvent copyright protections, including Stellar. So that you and everyone else can use modified bioses and play backed up games. The moment you open your console, you could be breaking the law...
  4. I'm sure he would have also referred to the ADV7511 Evaluation Schematic found on Analog Devices website. ADV7511_ADV7343_Eval_Schematic.pdf Public knowledge that anyone can access...
  5. Correct... MakeMHz promised to OpenSource the HD project years ago... If he doesn't want to follow through with commitments that's MakeMHz problem. But he shouldn't complain if other developers decide to make it for themselves.
  6. As far as MakeMHz is concerned he is TeamXodus, by purchasing their domain and abusing that to issue DMCA's www.teamxodus.com I was DMCA for hosting XeniumOS due to MakeMHz claiming copyright! @Dtomcat18 Answer me this, does MakeMHz own XeniumOS?
  7. Available Soon: Further information to be announced...
  8. Obsolete in less than 24 hours.... Merry Christmas...
  9. Programming with "STM32CubeProgrammer" is very straight forward... However, some STLinkV2 clones will only work with "STM32ST-Link Utility" Above are the setting used to connect to the STM32F030 via STLinkv2.
  10. I've been sitting on this for a few weeks now, But I think it's perfect timing to announce the Stellar Elimination Module. Above is a minimalistic 3.3v version that I retro fitted to my XeniumICE modchip, there's also a 5v version. These will be OpenSource along with the ST-Link adaptor, including Gerbers, BOM and Schematics within the next week or so. I would say that the MakeMHz XboxHD+ Legacy addon has already become obsolete within 24 hours of its release.
  11. Save yourselves the money and buy a $2 STMF030C8T6 Dev Board. STM32F030C8T6 ARM STM32 Minimum System Development Board Module For Arduino DIY KIT - AliExpress
  12. Bahahahahahaaaaa..... What an absolute joke, no wait it's not April... Now he's charging $25usd/$39aud for a cut down STM32 addon board.
  13. Hello @Konwektor I've been following your progress... I was able to put together a BlueRetro+OGX360 with what I had on hand inc. status LEDs. Tested with Series X controllers and found it having some problems, from what I understand this is a known issue. Seeing your forks definitely pointed toward you doing an internal 4x channel version. I assume you would be using USB switches or similar to select between Bluetooth and OGXbox Controller? Either way it seems we lose most of the functionality of the OGX360 particularly for wired controllers. The OGX360 can actually support the OGXbox Controllers, so many of the switching OGX360 designs on GitHub were unnecessary. If only we could retain full functionality of the OGX360 for wired controllers and switch between BlueRetro using Controller Port Detection. Be very interested in what your thoughts are on this. Cheers, Nem
  14. XeniumGOLD Concept: Turns out you can get clear solder-mask with black core PCB. Using this method, I was able to put together a concept design. I added an extra layer for the top side to add some visuals. Used buried and blind vias to make things as clean as possible. However, doing all this would make the design very expensive.
  15. Or you can get a device like the EMC2101... Adafruit EMC2101 I2C PC Fan Controller and Temperature Sensor [STEMMA QT / Qwiic] : ID 4808 : $5.50 : Adafruit Industries, Unique & fun DIY electronics and kits
  16. Definitely... Ryzee's SPI2PAR for an example: Ryzee119/spi2par2019: Open source recreation of the spi2par, a board that allowed you to use HD44780 compliant LCDs on the Xenium modchip for the OG Xbox (github.com)
  17. Yes, it would be an interesting test to perform. Some blue smoke would go well with a crystal console This document was forwarded to me, I was told they found it on a Facebook group for console repairs. I can't even remember who gave this to me and that's about all I know. File attached... But it does have alotta handy information, the "SMC Fan Control" title stood out to me.

  18. XeniumICE Programmer: I had a lot of fun working on the python script for the "XeniumPGR". Above is a quick video demonstrating what I've done with it. Firstly, the script takes care of the button and all the LEDs since it was never fully implemented in the "Xenium-Programmer" code. The video starts with the RPi zero powered up with the script running. "Power" LED is now "Standby" LED to show when the script is ready. I start by showing the long press function for rebooting the RPi, to signal this the LED's cycle from left to right. Once the RPi boots up and the script is ready it will signal this by cycling the LEDs from right to left. I demonstrate that the modchip will only power up when plugged into the programmer in the correct orientation. Short pressing the button can start or stop running the flashing command "./xenium-programmer" The progress LED turns on whenever the flashing command is running. Getting the "passed" and "failed" LEDs to function as intended was difficult. I had to monitor the output of xenium-programmer for "ERROR" and "FAILED". If either of these two strings would appear it would be deemed as a "Fail". However, if the command completed without failing it would be deemed a "Pass"
  19. XeniumICE Modchip: You can see that the XeniumICE modchip is only slightly larger than an Aladdin. Edge of the modchip lines up nicely with the edge of the motherboard. I'm very satisfied with how it turned out...
  20. Introduction: All new XeniumICE modchip design inspired by the original Xenium GOLD. Edge connector for easy programming along with a purpose built XeniumPGR. Plenty of connectors to support further addons, RGB and LCD display as for example. Small and compact multilayer PCB design, only a little larger than an Aladdin modchip. The modchips in the above image are the prototypes, final design will have gold immersion (ENIG) finish and are currently in production. Coming soon...
  21. SMC Fan Control Came across some OGXbox documentation and there seems to be a PWM pin (13) on the SMC. From what I can tell, PWM is converted to DC for the case fan. I hear that Cerbois supports AUTO fan control, it would be interested to see if we could control PWM fans in this way...
  22. LoL... Thats more than me, I only really ever used 3DFillies until now... Like I got good quality form Sunlu but it's more about the workability of the filament and reducing the rate of failures... It really annoys me when a 10 plus hour print fails, cheap filament costs me more than it saves. I would easily pay an extra $10 or more per roll if I were to rarely get failed prints like I did with 3DFillies. I could start a 10 hour print and never check it with little to no concern. Or even print over night while I slept... With Sunlu I have to set my alarm every hour to make sure I remember to check the prints as I get distracted with other tasks... EDIT: Just ordered a roll of Polylite PLA+ Pro, so we'll find out soon.
  23. Correct, you can email me over at: [email protected] Cheers... There was no difference between Polymaker PLA+ and cheaper PLA+? Nothing annoys me more than failed prints... I mostly want good bed adhesion and for it not to be too glossy. Don't forget I'm in Australia and my options are rather limited. Need to make sure I can find the same filament from alternative sources so I don't find myself in the same situation again. I really don't want to be spending the next 4 weeks trying out different filaments instead of printing these kits...
  24. Special Offer I need to do a bit of fund raising for a number or reasons: 1 - Printers are starting to show signs of wear n tear and I should start stocking up on spares including some beds to suit PETG. 2 - Need to buy a bunch of filament to get back to printing again. 3 - And if possible, some extra funds towards PCB assembly. Considering that I won't be using Sunlu or 3DFillies anymore, I didn't want to charge full price for them... What's available: 8x Black Sunlu PLA+ inc. extra Blue faceplate 1x Green 3DFillies (old) inc. extra White faceplate 1x Blue 3DFillies (old) inc. extra White faceplate 1x Red 3DFillies (old) inc. extra White faceplate *$100aud plus shipping for a complete kit 2x Black 3DFillies (new) no extras *make me an offer Shipping: The kits have been pre-packed and come in at 600 grams You can use Postage Calculator to see what shipping will be, just put my postcode as "3000" Postage calculator & delivery times - Australia Post (auspost.com.au)
  25. Filament After doing some research and checking out a number of reviews the "Polymaker" brands stands out to me as being premium filament. Bit more expensive but if it produces quality prints and makes my life easier during bulk printing then I'm happy to pay more... Currently undecided between the "Polylite PLA+ Pro" and the "Polylite PETG". I'm not currently setup for PETG and would need to buy some new beds as PETG will ruin my PEI beds so I might get a roll of the PLA+ Pro and do some prints to see how things turn out.
