Have you read the txt files that are included in the archive for the emulator? They should explain how to install and run it.

Japanese Console. Rare? More Info?
KaosEngineer replied to matthewtilkens's topic in Rare and Uncommon Xbox Hardware
There's a Japanese console listed on eBay right now being sold as non-working for parts / repair / mod. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Xbox-Console-Japanese-NTSC-J-Not-Working-For-Parts-Repair-Mod/303101378839?hash=item4692400117:g:G1MAAOSw~FpckOiJ -
Japanese Console. Rare? More Info?
KaosEngineer replied to matthewtilkens's topic in Rare and Uncommon Xbox Hardware
U.S. models all state the AC power supply input level from 100V to 127V. The original owner probably bought it at the BX where stationed in Japan. US model. -
Press the back button for help and find the key that cycles through the various partition options. Return to the main screen. The button to do so is also shown on the help page. Cycle through the standard partitioning options until it shows F (partition 6) only taking the remainder of the available space on the hard drive. The cluster allocation again will be displayed in the bottom section of the screen. It should now read 64KB when partition 6 alone is used - greater than 512GBs in size. Press Start to perform the Write & Format option. reboot. Run XBPartitioner v1.3 again to make sure the re-partitioning worked. If not, redo it again, repeat to check. If all is well, no ER printed next to the partition's size, start FTPing content back to the drive. Good luck! If you are okay with splitting the space between F and G it smaller cluster allocations. A cluster is the smallest amount of space that can be allocated to a file. So, if the game/app has 100's to 1000's of files less than the cluster size each will take at a minimum one cluster be it 16K, 32K or 64K. The larger the cluster the more wasted space. 16KB cluster allocation supports partitions up to 256GBs in size 32KB cluster allocation => 512GBs 64KB cluster allocation => 1024GB or 1TB.

USB on the Xbox is v1.1 - 11Mbits/second. Ethernet supports 10 and 100 Mbits/second.

[Solved] XBox Randomly Rebooting After Switching To 720p
KaosEngineer replied to djfusion82's topic in Repair
Disable 1080i in the MS dashboard's video settings and see if it continues to randomly reboot. -
No! ER next to the size of partition 6 and 7 indicate an error. Both partitions need to be reformatted using the correct cluster size of 32KB. You could also use partition 6 only (F drive) with 64KB cluster allocation. Move the selection up to each of the two partitions, 6 and 7, to see the cluster size currently configured for each in the bottom section of the screen. Update: If they are set to use 16KB clusters once you write more than 256GBs of data to the drive, the content at the beginning of the drive will be overwritten. Corrupting the content already present on the hard drive (e.g., strange characters appearing in file names, missing files and/or directories). All sorts of bad things happen to some of the data previously written.

Can Use a Burnt Iso On a Dvd To Run On My Unmodded Xbox
KaosEngineer replied to Alibaby's topic in Repair
Is the console modded? If so, possibly. As long as, the MS dashboard installed on the hard drive is not already version 1.00.5960.01. -
If cleaning the belt did not work, replace it. The magnet on the spindle is too strong. Once stretched, the belt/pulley mechanism used to eject the tray cannot provide enough force to pull them apart. Leave a disc in the tray and it may open. Or, try what @jhark mentions, place a round paper sticker on the disc clamper in the top of the DVD drive casing.

App for Extracting Multiple Iso Redumps At Once
KaosEngineer replied to Ccub's topic in Applications
XDVDMulleter's Batch ISO operations option. -
Is the hard drive properly formatted? Run XBPartitioner v1.3 to verify that the extended partition(s) are using the proper cluster size allocation. If you see ER (error) printed to the left of an extended partition's size, it is NOT!

There will be no conflict as long as they are installed in different subfolders, for example: /E/Apps/XBMC4Gamers /E/Apps/XBMC-Emustation However, if you try to install all the cover art, previews, synopsis data for both E, it may run out of space. or, both installed on the F drive (partition 6) /F/Apps/XBMC4Gamers /F/Apps/XBMC-Emustation Or, a split between two partitions/drives available - E, F and G.

Edit the Programs -> Games sources. With PROGRAMS highlighted (selected), press A to show the sub-menu listing that includes Apps, Emulators, Games, Program plugins, Add source. Highlight Games and press the White button to pull up the context-sensitive menu. Select Edit source then press A. The current set of paths scanned to list items in the Games menu will be displayed (e.g., F:\Games\ and G:\Games\). If both are not listed, Add the additional path(s) you want XBMC4Xbox to scan to add items to the Games menu. However, when the list is long, it will take some time to scroll through it to get to a particular game. I'd split it up into smaller sections instead of having one long list of 600+ items.

I thought that transistor is a PNP MMBT4403, not a NPN transistor.

I always strap BT to ground (pin 2 of the quick solder region on the modchip) - always-on operation. Doing so will not allow you to boot the stock BIOS but you don't need to any more as there's no reason. No Xbox Live available where you'd want to boot the stock BIOS to keep from being banned from the service. Source: https://web.archive.org/web/20160331200649/http://xbox.bula.nu/aladdin/xt/BTGround_resize.jpg The wire from the D0 pad on the modchip is connected well to the D0 point on the motherboard?

FTP the guisettings.xml file while running UnleashX. From the information you've posted above, isn't XBMC-Emustation installed in /E/players/xbmc/? If so, the file needs to be uploaded to /E/players/xbmc/system/UserData.
-
There are no really good tools available to read/write files from/to an Xbox hard drive with a PC. Use FTP! Get used to it.
-
Yes
-
You have to press the power button long enough to boot the modchip's BIOS. If too short, you should boot the stock BIOS.

What dashboard runs when you boot the Xbox?

What size is the guisettings.xml file in /Q/system/UserData? Is it 0KBs ? The two folders, /P/ and /Q/system/UserData, are one in the same just accessed through a different mapped drive location on the Xbox's hard drive. It is in /<E, F or G drive>/<folder where XBMC-emustation is installed>/system/UserData. All these locations provide access to the same files. Change a file in one and it will show up changed in the other two. Have you tried to FTP XBMC-Emustation's extracted archive file XBMC-Emustation\system\UserData\guisettings.xml to the Xbox's /Q/system/UserData folder? My XBMC-Emustation's /P/guisettings.xml file is 33,690 bytes. The latest archive's original extracted XBMC-Emustation\system\UserData\guisettings.xml file is 7,628 bytes. I'm guessing when you first run XBMC-Emustation it adds additional settings into the original guissettings.xml file.

How do you have the Aladdin modchip configured to be enabled? BT strapped to GND or connected to the power button signal If BT strapped, remove that wire. If using the power button signal, you are good to go, power on the console with a short tap (unmodded operation) so you flash the TSOP. This operation will require copying the TSOP flashing game save and booting one of the exploitable games to load it to flash the TSOP. You could softmod the console with the Xbox Softmodding Tool and use the HeXEn 2018 disc to flash the TSOP. The exploit flashing packages can be found on xbins FTP server or a couple of web site backups. One such backup of those packages is here The TSOP flashing packages are those that have raincoat in their folder name or flash.

No, it uses the same tools to lock and unlock the hard drive. If your console is modded with a modchip and you installed a new hard drive, it should be unlocked. Locking it would require you to do so. Back in the heyday of Xbox hacking, tools made by Xbox scene development teams used two different master passwords either TEAMASSEMBLY or XBOXSCENE or left the hard drive manufacturer's default master password. For Western Digital hard drives, it is WDCWDCWDCWDCWDCWDCWDCWDCWDCWDCWD (32 characters long) For Seagate hard drives, it is usually: Seagate followed by 25 space characters For a list of manufacturer hard drive master passwords see: https://ipv5.wordpress.com/2008/04/14/list-of-hard-disk-ata-master-passwords/

The SmartXX modchips have their own OS that starts. You can load a normal hacked BIOS to do normal Xbox gaming console operations. Please post a picture of the startup screen. There are many different releases of the SmartXX modchip. Much information can be found in the web site captures that the archive.org's Wayback Machine made. The content is accessible at: http://web.archive.org/web/20080606071817/http://www.smartxx.com/
