  1. You don't need to do anything with D0 leave it as is (LFRAME). Disconnect the wire from the BT pad on the modchip as well as the other end by the front panel connector. Add a new short wire to connect the BT pad on the modchip to ground (pin 2) of the quick solder section - the pad closest to the LCD contrast potentiometer.
  2. Are those images of the content for the original softmodded hard drive or the new 2TB Origins installed drive? Partition 0 is X, partition 1 is Y, partition 2 is Z, partition 3 like you said is C, partition 4 is E and partition 5 is F. Looks like it's not reading G which should be partition 6 in Xplorer360. Xplorer360's partition numbers are different than the standard Xbox numbering for them (device name): C = 2 (/device/Harddisk0/Partition2) E = 1 (/device/Harddisk0/Partition1) X = 3 (/device/Harddisk0/Partition3) Y = 4 (/device/Harddisk0/Partition4) Z = 5 (/device/Harddisk0/Partition5) F = 6 (/device/Harddisk0/Partition6) G = 7 (/device/Harddisk0/Partition7)
  3. I believe that 2TB Origins disc image is configured for a hard modded console. It does not have a softmod installed. It should be booting to the MS dashboard as long as the MS dashboard is installed but without knowing what files are on the C drive of the disc after installing the 2TB image it's hard to assist you any further. Can you obtain and post a directory listing of the files and folders in the root directory of the C drive?
  4. The attach app can mount mutli-part iso images. I've never had to use it to do so. The disc images it supports are XISO format, not archival Redump-certified dual-layer disc images. You can rip a game with DVD2Xbox to ISO format. If it requires a file larger than 4GBs - FATX max file size limitation - for the ripped dot iso, it will create mutliple files that the attach app will mount as one large disc image. To the Xbox, It looks like the real game disc is loaded in the DVD drive. There's also an isoripper app included in the driveimageutils archive. Check UnleashX's System > Settings > AutoLaunch Settings.
  5. I don't have an Xecuter 2.3B Lite plus with pogo pins but I suspect the pin header on it may be a direct connection to the pogo pins. I believe it was used to connect to an external programmer so they may not be. Hard to find specifics on it. the only installation instructions released by Team Xecuter were for doing the pogo pin install that's how the chip was built. You could solder a wire to the top of each pogo pin and solder it to the associated pin of the LPC Debug header port on the motherboard. Where and how do you plan to locate the modchip so it doesn't make an electrical contact with something it should not. What version Xbox? If a 1.6, it was not intended to be installed in one. There was no 1.6 Xbox when it was released. An LPC rebuild is required and most likely an LFRAME# trace cut by the Xyclops chip which will disable booting from the the stock BIOS. And, D0 connection to ???.
  6. You need the attach app, attach.xbe, from NKPatcher's driveimageutils-v1.0.1.zip (attached below). You rename the attach.xbe file to default.xbe and place a copy of it in the subfolder with the dot iso file. You also need to edit the internal XBE Title of that default.xbe file for the item to appear with the name you want displayed in the Games menu. The folder name the files in has nothing to do with the name displayed in the menu. It's the TItle stored inside the default.xbe file that is used to populate the text of the menu. Use UnleashX's File Explorer's select menu option Rename XBE TItle to do so. Browse to the copy of the attach apps copy named default.xbe so the filename is highlighted in the explorer window then press the Start or White button for the Select menu to appear. D-pad up to Rename XBE TItle and press A. Use the onscreen keyboard to edit the name and save the new XBE Title. See: https://imgur.com/9CbLEtL Reboot or refresh the top-level Games menu (Press Start, use the D-pad to highlight Refresh List... then press A.) Edit: the attach.xbe file is small, 6.76KBs, so I've attached it. There are more tools in the driveimageutils archive linked above so you may want to download it. attach.xbe MD5 Hash: E658735E0A533D2A9F5DFB60B8334FC7 attach.xbe
  7. You're selection of which BIOS to use depends somewhat on which version of Xbox you have. There's no ind-bios release for 1.6 Xboxes or 256KB in size X2 BIOSes. For them you have two choices for the latest released xbox modified BIOSes to use with the OpenXenium or any other modchip that supports a 512KB BIOS bank size: X2 5035 16 (requires a 512KB BIOS bank to use - which the OpenXenium supports), or Evox m8plus_16 (256KB Bank size required that every re-flashable modchip supports). There's a wider selection of BIOSes available for v1.0-1.5 consoles: 256KB BIOSes X2 4983.[06 or 67] X2 4981.[06 or 67] Evox M8plus (LBA48 patch settings 06 or 67 configured with EVTool v1.0.9) iND-BiOS.5003.67 (don't use .06 version or inject a configuration file into the BIOS) iND-BiOS.Beta.Feb-11-05.67 , a.k.a. 5004 (don't use the .06 version or inject a configuration file into the BIOS) 512KB BIOS X2 5035
  8. You can boot the stock BIOS by adding the TSOP as the source in the Launch Items menu. Oh wait, you can't use the controller to add that BIOS to the Launch Items or even select it if it had already been added. I'd try what you were thinking of doing. Disconnect the modchip from the LPC pin header and see what happens.
  9. Which AV cable are you using? Is your console a PAL or NTSC region console?
  10. You can have two hard drives but only one powered at a time. The Xbox requires the DVD drive to boot properly.
  11. Here are three such games. Toca Race Driver 2 True Crime: New York Enter the Matrix I don't recall if there are any more games that used this method to prevent modders from installing their game to the Xbox's hard drive.
  12. It's not the name of the game, some are very long, but the name of the files stored on the hard drive. Some games have files with names too long for the hard drive's FATX filesystem (>42 characters - include the dot and characters of the extension in the count). The DVD filesystem has no such filename length restriction. Thus, mounting an XISO with the attach app does not either. To the Xbox, the mounted disc image appears to be a disc loaded into the DVD drive.
  13. Some games will not work as they have filenames too long for the FATX filesystem and can only be played from original media or a mounted (attached) XISO-format dot iso file.
  14. which file share host there are several different sites used in all those links? I'm assuming you mean zippyshare. I have Ad Block plus installed in Chrome and have never had to install any Malware to download the files. You do have to sometimes click on the download link several times before one of the clicks actually does start the file download. I believe most of those files are available in the Downloads section of emuxtras.net. You do have to signup for a free account there to gain access to that section of their web site. There's a lot more than the above files in their download section. Note: www.theisozone.com that had those files is no longer online. They went offline over a year ago. A new site has recently started up but it is not the original site where they were available.
  15. Because they take less space on the hard drive when there are lots of tiny files. On a 512GB+ partition, each of those files less than 64KB in size each take 64KBs, 1 cluster, of hard drive space to be stored. There's also a script for XBMC to do the process for you. Upload all the XISO format ISOs to your Games folder and the attach.xbe app and I believe it creates the subfolders, copies the attach.xbe app to it and moves the ISO there and changes the XBE title name to that of the game's default.xbe file found inside the ISO. And, some games have filenames that are not allowed on an FATX formatted partition. Names longer than 42 characters or with characters not allowed by the filesystem.
  16. They won't be until you put each XISO format dot iso file in separate subfolder along with a copy of the NKPatcher driveimageutils' attach.xbe app renamed to default.xbe. You also have to rename the internal XBE Title to the name you want each game to appear as in the replacement dashboard's Games menu. Use UnleashX's File Explorer to rename the internal XBE Title of each copy of the attach app. Browse to the renamed attach app, default.xbe file, so it's highlighted and press the White button for the Select options menu to appear. D-pad up to the Rename XBE Title menu item then press (A). Use the onscreen keyboard to edit and save the game name. https://imgur.com/9CbLEtL After doing all of those steps for each game, they appear in the dashboard's Games menu.
  17. Too damaged or the Xbox DVD drive's laser is going out. I'm not exactly sure why all the original Xbox DVD drives seem to be dying. No research has been done to verify the actual cause of the drives failure. Is it the laser, other part of the reading head assembly or something else failing on these drives?
  18. There's also @Kekule's LPC2LCD adapter based on @Ryzee119's AladdinLCD complex programmable logic device (CPLD) code. However, a new printed circuit board has been designed for a cleaner layout of the connections to program the Lattice LC4032V CPLD and connect an HD44780-based LCD module to it. Note: If you plan on installing the LCD module in the Xbox by making a cutout in the front panel, make sure the overall dimensions are not too big for it to fit the available space.
  19. It may not be the diode that's shorted. Another component attached to it in the circuit can make it appear that way. To properly test it, you need to remove it from the circuit (unsolder it from the printed circuit board).
  20. You can. Ryzee119's AladdinLCD - Convert the cheap AladdinXT 4032 Original Xbox modchip to an LCD driver for TSOP modded consoles. https://github.com/Ryzee119/AladdinLCD
  21. Buy an original used copy of the game and rip it with DVD2Xbox. Don't rely on Arcade Punks' content to work!
  22. OpenXenium and SPI2019Par plus there must be an LCD too not pictured on a v1.6 Xbox. Recently modded to have those devices. Amazed someone sold it to you. Where's the white sheathed cable go to on the back of the console and out through the RF shielding on the right-hand side of the picture? What's it's purpose?
  23. You can connect a PC drive to the IDE cable and leave the Xbox's DVD power/control cable connected to the stock XBOX DVD drive's controller board. The PC drive won't read original game disks but backups can be read.
  24. Not that they were no good. There just seem to be ghosts in the machine - works of some of them.
  25. Okay, I had not remembered that it worked in another console with this same disc. I should have though. You posted a list of all the consoles you tried. 1.4 Xboxes have lot of little gotchas. Pound Technology HD-Link video output anomalies, DVD drive problems, what else?
