Heck yeah a using this on every build now! So clean and smooth! Will text it with a 64mb unit next time I get one. I already rammed everything on my shelves. If I figure out the LCD thing I will post the solution here
-
I love this dash! My only issue seems to be getting it to utilize the saved LCD settings. It seems to save settings fine, when i reboot the settings are still correct. However, when I reboot it does not display the dash info. If I toggle the type of chip it displays correctly until I reboot again.
-
very true. but that is much easier than finding a good CPU these days lol!

I just saved a board with a bad hard drive the other day. I installed a xenium mod chip, and used the Xenium OS to create a backup of the EEprom. Then I also used the OS to lock the hard drive. I was able to boot Xbox dash, so I proceded to softmod, then flashed.
-
I will sooner or later, my work schedule for January is jam-packed. The Xenium mod chips require a separate circuit board to translate info to the LCD.. It is called a spi2par, they are very rare. The one I have is the only one I have seen anywhere other than the website that used to sell them. An LCD with SPI protocol can be used as well, but they are expensive and hard to find from what I am told. I never really looked into SPI LCD's because I have the spi2par. If anyone has information please share it. http://www.cheaplpc.com/Xenlcd/default.asp

Yes, the hard drive should be set at cable select.
-
In your case, you can FTP the file E/x2config.ini to your PC and make sure this part is a zero. doDvdDriveCheck = 0 then FTP it back to E partition copying over the old one.
-
you do not need a dvd drive at all if the bios has "DVD Check" disabled
-
I can only do them for the ones I have, I need to verify before I will post them. I'm sure I will get one sooner or later.
-
It is an Xecuter 2 Lite mod chip. looks like you already have a good bios on it, I would try to use it as is.
-
Not really a secret, all you need is a compatible processor, the right reball stencil and a good BGA rework station. several small tools and supplies as well. Not one of these are cheap, your best bet is to have it done by someone that has done them already. N64Freak does some TOP notch work, I have been testing one of his 1Ghz and it seems perfect! the board is very clean too! just do not buy his supply on me because I have like a month before I can get one. GrrrRrr! ~scary growl~

That is coming back to the hard drive not working. it could be the ribbon cable, but could be the hard drive. you should make sure the ribbon cable is plugged in properly. if it is and you get the same error, see if it will boot a hexen disk.
-
First thing you can do is take it apart and see if there is a mod chip
-
sweet!
-
Awesome! I have a lot of stuff, when I sort it I will put it up
-
sounds like you may need to flash a bios with proper LBA48 support, like KaosEngineer posted.
-
Awesome! Always nice when it is something simple
-
I have a SABRENT IDE to SATA converter that will only work with a 40 wire Ribbon cable. Tested in all version Xboxes except v1.5, the only one I do not have... yet. tried it with mod chips, it just will not work with an 80 wire cable. I have not had a STARTECH to test, but I see a lot of people having luck with an 80 wire cable. is your STARTECH's jumper set to "cable select"?
-
GREAT WORK! Glad to hear you got it working. small issues can be the biggest pain
-
HEY! the 1.5's are real! I think there's one in unicorn valley. but really though, the 1.5 has been reported as real. you do have to softmod it to allow it to boot disks, then you can TSOP away
-
I have found unusual problems cloning drives, I always FTP everything now. I have a friends 128MB 1Ghz xbox from N64Freak and it runs fast without issues.
-
yes, you need to softmod before the xbox will recognize HEXEN. Then you can flash away. just make sure of the version of xbox you have. Rocky5 has a great softmod method from what I am hearing, you will have to look here for it. maybe someone could point you to it, I have to go to work.
-
Sweet! don't want to see an X3 not used at full potential.
-
I am glad it helped someone
