  1. You'll need to obtain and install a program that computes the checksum/hash value of a file. I use Implbits HashTab - https://implbits.com/hashtab but there are many similar applications you can use. Implbits discontinued HashTab; however, their last release can still be downloaded or one of the many alternatives listed on the linked webpage.
  2. Windows doesn't play XMV files well. They always stutter, play slow, freeze or don't play at all. On the Xbox are you slimply playing them from a replacement dashboard's File Manager? BIK files that I've tried to play require a BIK player that's built into the game/app to play them.
  3. redump.org • Xbox Demo Disc Version 2.3 Track(s) # Sectors Size CRC-32 MD5 SHA-1 1 3820880 7825162240 b77c2089 a04870f873b4d4354a234c57da022677 ca9a8024fb30ccbb557fc041219f728469a51f25 Best to use the SHA-1 checksum / hash instead of the MD5 or CRC-32 checksum / hash.
  4. Where are you trying to play the video files: on the Xbox or PC? What's the video file's extension?
  5. go to redump.org and verify that the ISO file's size and the track checksum matches the entry for it listed there. For example: 007: Agent Under Fire - EA-013 PAL Track(s) # Sectors Size CRC-32 MD5 SHA-1 1 3820880 7825162240 3442acbb beec6d22aa3599c1f0582532a7fadd30 a3674f26fd5936e07e547207eded285f6b1a932c
  6. Yes, not sure why that URL was inserted into my post. I was visiting the Wayback Machine archived copy of the web page when I copy/pasted it. Weird. Thanks for posting a good link to it.
  7. You should remove pin 4 from the pin header. Check out this installation guide for the modchip: circuit-board.de/forum/index.php/Attachment/72198-Aladdin-XT-installation-Guide-pdf/ The LED on the modchip only tells you that the modchip is powered.
  8. Download the Xbox Evox M8plus BIOS archive from xbins.org's FTP Server and the PC BIOS editing Tool - EVTool v1.0.9. Load the m8plus_16.bin file into EVTool v1.0.9 then save it back to have the LBA48 patch applied to support larger than 137GB hard drives. Flash it to the modchip. Upload the new dot bin file to Evoxdash's BIOS subfolder. If it doesn't exist create it, then use Evoxdash's Flash BIOS menu option to write the BIOS to the modchip. It should be able to do the job as long as your Aladdin clone is writeable. Edit: To easily download files from xbins.org's FTP server, download and install Team Resurgent's Pandora v1.0.7 application: Team-Resurgent/Pandora (github.com)
  9. Take a look at the x-changer manual: http://www.teamxchanger.com/downloads/XOR-X-Changer(2.2).pdf Update: New link as I thought I copy/pasted the Wayback Machine link, not the original URL: https://web.archive.org/web/20060825184258/http://www.teamxchanger.com/downloads/XOR-X-Changer(2.2).pdf
  10. Does Hexen boot? If so, run the remove softmod menu option - I believe it is 3.3.2.
  11. I found a video on YouTube that shows the startup messages FlashBIOS 3.0.1 displays when it boots. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqqPRChuPcI&t=150
  12. After the BootUSB module initializes/checks for attached USB devices: game controllers, DVD dongle, and/or a keyboard, it should print several other messages Next one being, "Initializing IDE Controller" then "Ready", etc. After that information about the attached hard drive should be printed followed by the main menu options. Are there any devices attached to the controller ports? Is there a hard drive attached to the IDE cable? I don't recall if FlashBIOS requires the DVD drive to be attached or not.
  13. The flash protect state is a bit confusing. OFF / protect LED red means a BIOS can be flashed to the modchip. (Unsafe state / red - overwriting flash memory IS allowed.) ON / protect LED green means a BIOS CANNOT be flashed to the modchip. (Safe state / green - overwriting flash memory is NOT allowed.) There's also a switch on the modchip that can override the front panel switch. Always protecting flash from being overwritten when on. See: x3ce.pdf
  14. What color is the LED backlighting the X3 logo on the X3CP: red, blue or purple?
  15. FlashBIOS 3.0.1 is booting here. Not a modified Xbox BIOS for the X3 modchip - X3 BIOS Build nnnn (latest nnnn=3294). Are the bank select switches 1-4 set to ON ON OFF OFF? This setting selects the first 1MB bank. The location Team Xecuter suggests installing the X3 BIOS on their X3 modchip. Is the Flash Protect switch set to ON or OFF? From the first picture with manf=0x09, dev=0x00, it must be ON. Protect LED RED. The entire next line reads, "BOOT: start USB init". I'm assuming the console gets stuck at this point? X3 Bank Selection Settings (Switches 1-4) 256k Banks Bank 1: on on on on Bank 2: off on on on Bank 3: on off on on Bank 4: off off on on Bank 5: on on off on Bank 6: off on off on Bank 7: on off off on Bank 8: off off off on 512k Banks Bank 12: on on on off Bank 34: off on on off Bank 56: on off on off Bank 78: off off on off 1MB Banks Bank 1234: on on off off (Set to this when flashing first time with FlashBIOS) Bank 5678: off on off off 2MB Bank Bank 12345678: off off off off
  16. CDX is the multi-game/demo/trailer playing application used on OXM Demo discs and original Xbox games.
  17. It doesn't really look like the PicoBlade 3-pin connector to me; however, much closer, if not it, than the JST SH connector. I've taken some pictures with my phone of the one I have but I don't have anything that I can measure something this small. Here are three (3) bad images of the connector end: (Edit: I'll see if I can get a better version downloaded.)
  18. The Xapt3r routes D0 of the modchip through pin 4 of the adapter to the D0 pad on the top of the motherboard through the spring wire placed into the D0 point via. Xapt3r_Install_V1.0-1.5_Lite.pdf (archive.org) This isn't the full PDF. This website only provided links to the full manual to people that purchased the product from them.
  19. You don't need 10 when you install a pin header in the LPC Debug port. Part #10 is for the wire installation method. Soldering each attached wire to the appropriate pin location of the LPC Debug port then plugging the other end into the modchip's mating pin header connector. Now, #8 you need or at least a wire soldered to the back of the modchip's connector at the grey wire's pin location on the modchip and the other end to the motherboard's D0/LFRAME (for v1.6) point as shown in the manual you provided a link to. Or, you can find pre-wired 3-pin connectors sets on eBay and AliExpress. IIRC, they are JST 1.0mm pin pitch (center-to-center pin distance) SH connectors. (Edit: I wish I remembered if that is correct. Anyone???) When you purchase them from either source listed, they usually have the mating connector too that's already installed on the modchip. Make sure the cables you purchase have wires long enough to reach their solder points to the motherboard. The wire colors won't be the same as shown in the parts inventory above. You'll have to match up the pin location with the color of wire attached to it.
  20. Correct, the Xbox doesn't use standard partitions that WIndows can access. On Windows, one way to see them is to install and run FATXplorer 3.0 beta It will show you the Xbox drive's partitions and allow you to mount one at a time as the X:\ drive and use Windows Explorer to read/write data from/to it. Edit: That is on an unlocked Xbox hard drive. You can't access (read or write) content from or to the drive until it is unlocked.
  21. Where are you looking at the content of the hard drive? You won't be able to see anything directly with Windows File Explorer. Mount one of the Xbox hard drive partitions with FATXplorer 3.0 beta to view its content with Windows Explorer on the X:\ drive.
  22. I'd start a new thread but in the first post include a link to this thread so others can refer back to it.
  23. Okay here's what I've determined from my research about the Xecuter-X3-Switch-Panel Gerber files: Standard Gerber File Extensions Gerber File Description Contents .GTL Top layer copper Copper traces and pads on the top layer .GTS Top layer solder mask Shape of the solder mask on the top layer .GTO Top Overlay Top layer silkscreen information such as component identification .GBL Bottom layer copper Copper traces and pads on the bottom layer .GBS Bottom solder mask Shape of the solder mask on the bottom layer .GBO Bottom layer Overlay Bottom layer silkscreen information .GTP Top layer paste Location of solder paste on the top layer .GBP Bottom layer paste Location of solder paste on the bottom layer .GML Mechanical layer Board cutouts, drill holes, and non-copper features .GKO Keep-out layer Areas where components or copper traces cannot be placed .G1 to .Gx Additional copper layers Additional copper layers for multilayer designs .GP1 to .GPx Additional Internal Plane Layer Additional Internal Plane Layer for multilayer designs Source: https://www.jhdpcb.com/blog/pcb-gerber-files/ Gerber file naming for the top (Mask) PCB of the three stacked PCBs in this X3 Switch Panel design: Mask.GBL - Gerber Bottom Layer Copper (Copper traces and pads on the bottom layer) Mask.GBO - Gerber Bottom Layer Overlay (Silkscreen information such as component identification) Mask.GBP - Gerber Bottom Layer Paste (Solder Paste on bottom layer) Mask.GBS - Gerber Bottom Layer Solder Mask (Shape of the solder mask on the bottom layer) Mask.GML - Gerber Mechanical Layer (Board cutouts, drill holes and non-copper features) Mask.GTL - Gerber Top Layer Copper (Copper traces and pads on the top layer) - .GPI provides a bit of infor that 16 shapes were created ??? Mask.GTS - Gerber Top Layer Solder Mask (Shape of the solder mask on the top layer) Mask.GTO - Gerber Top Layer Overlay (Silkscreen information such as component identification - DIP Switch usage labeling) Mask.GTP - Gerber Top Layer Paste (Location of solder paste on the bottom layer) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are a couple of file extensions that I'm not sure what they are: .DRI and .GPI Okay from looking at the contents of the files themselves in a text editor: .DRI - Drill Station information (Not needed as there is no drilling on this PCB) .GPI - Photoplotter Info File (Photocopier information pertaining to shapes used in the .GTL file.) I don't think a PCB production house needs these two files; however, if they ask for them include them. The .DRI file should not be needed since there are no holes drilled in this PCB. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I wonder what program generated these files? Answer: Again, looking at the contents of these two file types: EAGLE CAM Processor 8.6.0 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edit: To change the coloring of the PCB. Tell the PCB production house the color of the solder mask and the color of the silkscreen (text) to be placed on the PCB.
  24. Archived X2.x Pro DIP Switch Settings: http://web.archive.org/web/20141025141741/http://www.xbox-scene.com/modchips/x-ecuter2_pro_switches.html
  25. Most of those OS firmwares look for specific ID values being present in the hardware devices on the modchip. If they don't match, they will NOT work. Or, FPGA/CPLD code which defines/creates internal registers used by the firmware are not present for the OS to run.
