Ah, good to know. I thought it was kind of needed. Thanks Dave.

If he's using a sata hdd and a pata to sata adapter, doesn't he also need the 80 wire ribbon?

Awesome! Thank you.

Thank you for your time. This seems interesting. How did you make your logo? I assume it has to be a certain size? Could be cool to have a RR logo. lol

Hello Kaos, thanks for the information. I was looking at EVTool and thinking about trying that to a bios I had. I didn't want to take a chance and mess up though. I will give it a shot now that I know I was in the right direction. The picture you posted doesn't show up. When I click on it I just get 404 invalid url. Thanks for the quick reply. This is good stuff! Just saw your post and wanted to say thanks Benur75!

So I managed to repair my xbox and while I was at it I got to work on a couple of 1.6s I had. I've installed the Aladdin XT Plus2 and I left the on board led off so it doesn't turn on. I used the TruHexen 2020 disk and flashed the 256k BIOS, v1.6. Now when I boot, as I'm sure most of you know, I get the purple triangle with the Evo X logo. I don't really care for the logo and I would like advice on what would be the best BIOS to install on a: 1.6 with an Aladdin chip stock hdd but going to upgrade eventually working dvd drive but that may be removed want F and G no LOGO. Thanks guys!

XBox Works but No Light Around Eject Button
Riff-Raff replied to psnap777's topic in General Xbox Discussion
I finally got time to pull my box apart. It looks like it was just the trace for the green led. 10 minutes and it was back to being all good. Thanks guys. Going to start on these two 1.6s here soon.- 23 replies

XBox Works but No Light Around Eject Button

I did use UnleashX to test them. The green on both sides went out. I've been so busy this week I haven't had the chance to sit down with it. I'm looking forward to when I can though. This was my first xbox so I'm going to look it over real good. Thanks for added info.- 23 replies

Yeah, I was planning on it this weekend when I got my chips for the two 1.6s. It was 3:30am when I posted that. I had never known about the clock cap and was wondering if or when it would strike. I'll give an update on what I find. Yeah, I'm familiar with repairing traces but any advice or tips is always welcome. Thanks.- 23 replies

After reading the forums for a few days I got the itch to turn on my old box. It's been sitting on the shelf plugged in for the last approx 17-18 years. Everything has been working great until just a few hours ago. Now I too have the issue where the green lights no longer work. What the shit?- 23 replies

Hexen Disk and Why It's So Good (Yeah Right).
Riff-Raff replied to SS_Dave's topic in General Xbox Discussion
ugh, I was afraid of that. I only have the two boxes. Alright, thank you for confirming what I thought. -

Riff-Raff replied to SS_Dave's topic in General Xbox Discussion
Thank you sir. I saw that in your sig and already grab it. What to do about installing if the dvd drives are no good? What can I use? -
Are you sure what the chip is? It looks like an Aladdin XT plus. I guess it could be something else but I'm sure one of the guys here will be able to give you advice. I read elsewhere (afterdawn) about the modes. I think you tried them though. Modes:Off - Tap the powerbutton and the Xbox starts as normal with the original BIOS.On - Press and hold powerbutton for 1 second and the Aladdin XT is activated.Writeprotect - Press and hold powerbutton for 2 seconds and the Aladdin XT is activated in flash write protect mode.Visual Mode Indication: The power LED will indicate the current mode by different colors.Off - Green (Normal) / Orange (HDD access)On - Orange (Normal) / Green (HDD access)Writeprotect - Continous flashing Orange/Green

What are you asking for the faceplate?

So this sounds like something I might check into. Hopefully there will be some seeders when I get to check this out. I'd love to start downloading now but I don't have 4TB of drive space. Just out of curiosity, are there smaller images that some prefer? Like around 500GB - 1TB?

Riff-Raff replied to SS_Dave's topic in General Xbox Discussion
Well now I'm not sure what I want to use. I've got a couple Aladdin chips coming tomorrow for two 1.6b boxes. The hard drives and DVD drives in both boxes are no good. Right now I'm just going to set them up with maybe 120 - 200GB hard drives to get them up and running. I just downloaded TruHexen2020 but now I don't know. I see there's issues but any thoughts on my situation with what to use and bios? I've got to figure out what to do about installation as well since the DVD drives are screwed. -
I'm kind of wondering this too. It's not my main dash but I do have it installed and I wouldn't mind checking it out.

Hello all. It's been a long time since I visited the old Xbox. I've modded quite a few back in the day and recently acquired a couple a few days ago in a box along with about 5 PS2s. I kinda got a little excited being as I haven't touched either one of them for several years. I had read about soft modding and wanted to try it since it didn't require any hardware or tools as I had gotten rid of everything I had. Well once I fired up the boxes I found both of them had hdd and dvd issues. I opened them up and, ..ugh. Both of them were 1.6b. Anyway, I jumped online and ordered a couple of Aladdin XT chips. It's slowed me down but has given me the time to look the forums over. I'm getting the itch back! I don't think the wife is going to like this all over again. Anyway I just wanted to say hi to everyone.

How much for just the black plastic front panel where the controller ports are? Also what do you have for controller parts repair? I might need some thumb stick parts for drift issues.
