So I actually found my old Slayer EVO-X auto installer dvd. I was going to see if I could run it in. I connected a network cable to the thing, and it booted up fine!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been messing with it for 2 days so that is a crazy coincidence, if it is a coincidence at all. Rebooted it a few times and it's good. Pulled the network cable, still good. No idea now, but I guess I'll just be happy its working again I do notice now if I go into the factory system settings from EVO-X, I get a red flashing light and code 21. Maybe the thing is finally on it's way out Will be a sad day if that happens.... Thanks for the reply Steo1024,

Hi all, First post here. Have my soft modded OG xbox that I have had for probably 18 years. Has a 120GB HDD in it, and I use it mostly for Mame at this point. Just last evening, it started doing something very strange. It boots up OK, I get the factory boot animation, "Matrix Inside", etc, but then when it transitions to the EVO-X menu, the screen only updates what looks like a frame every 2 seconds. It will slloooooowly fade in the EVO-X menu, then I can hold "down" on the controller and it will slooooowly move from one menu entry to the next. It's almost unusable. Once I start an app, everything is OK. For example, Mame works fine. It just literally takes 5-10 minutes to get through the menu to start it up. It has been probably 15 years since I have messed with this thing, as far as modifying anything. Anyone have any suggestion as to what might be going on?
