Welcome to OGXbox.com. Mod it or lose it, KaosEngineer P.S. Have a look at the web site XBMC-emustation.com. Enjoy!

I want to clear things up a bit here. Where do you see these Cannot allocate resource line(s)? On my system, there are 5 lines displayed before the i8042 not found line. Three (3) of which state: PCI: Cannot allocate resource region N blah blah blah followed by two more lines PCI: failed to allocate mem blah blah blah when Linux is booting or After the menu system is displayed and you are selecting or have selected the option to clone the Master to Slave hard drive?

For the extended partition size, check the partition settings using NKPatcher Settings app of the Xbox Softmodding Tool. I believe once installed the Xbox Softmodding Tool's default LBA48 configuration is F and G; however, F is limited to ~120GB in size. The space up to the original 137GB max hard drive size before the LBA48 patch came out and G takes the rest. If you have no G or it's disabled in UnleashX's settings. You will not see all of the space available on the hard drive. XBPartitioner v1.3 should show you how the drive was partitioned.

Make a composite cable.

How big are the ISO files? If they are 6+GBs, they are ReDump format ISO's not XISOs. ReDump disc images are to be exact duplicates of the original game disc, not just the XDVDFS files extracted from it and stored in an XISO disc image. To extract the XDVDFS portion of a ReDump-style disc image (ISO), use XDVDMulleter Beta 10.2 or GX XGD Extract v00.10.10

The no controller found line is normal for the Xbox. It has no i8042 PS/2 keyboard and mouse controller. You are to make sure the slave hard drive is unlocked before cloning. A brand new hard drive would not be locked. The software cannot read/write data from/to the hard drive while it is locked. Thus, the Cannot allocate resources error message.

The modified BIOS you have flashed to your modchip has it's LBA48 configuration set for F up to 137GB and G takes the rest or F up to 137GB, no G drive. Which BIOS did you flash to the modchip? The default that comes with the chip really needs to be reflashed with m8_16.bin with the settings modified with EVTool. Using XBPartitioner v1.3 as @nikeymikey suggests writes a partition table to the hard drive that is read by the latest BIOSes and overrides these default settings.

How much power is available from one of the USB ports on the OGX360? What are the power requirements of the Hyperkin Duke controller? With its LCD and dedicated microcontroller plus the controller's processor itself. the power draw is most likely more than one of the OGX360's USB ports can provide.

I think he (N64 Freak) has sold the last one he intends to make. Check his Current Products For Sale subforum post. He said he wasn't planning on making any more of the HDMI mods unless there was enough interest in doing another run. Not exactly sure how many would need to be pre-ordered or interested in purchasing them before he will make more. P.S. I just went to the subforum and her had a new post there. Looks like he needs interest for at least 10 of the internal HDMI boards. PM @N64 freak about your interest in purchasing an internal HDMI mod. They are not cheap. 70€ for the HDMI mod itself plus S&H. Mine shipped to U.S. was either by trackable shipping at 8€ or a non-trackable option at 3,70€. I opted for trackable shipping for a total of 78€. Prices may vary as I ordered one at the end of January this year.

The Xbox Softmodding Tool Evox skin looks more like the Evoxdash with it the way it is. The skin.xml file can be modified to move the menu text between the horizontal lines and changed from a vertical menu to a horizontal menu by editing the <Menu>...</Menu> section of the file: <Menu Horizontal="False" Smooth="False" Align="Middle" ShowIcon="False" Rotate="False" ShowArrows="False" Scroll="1"> <Position Top="257" Left="99" Width="441" Height="195" Fixed="True" FixAt="4" MaxItem="0"/> <Font>font3</font> <Preview EnableAudio="False" Top="0" Left="0" Width="0" Height="0" /> </Menu> Change Horizontal="False" to Horizontal="True" and edit the <Position /> line to move the text between the two horizontal lines. Top, Left, Width, and Height values TBD. P.S. I'm working on moving the text and will update this post with the TBD values when I have them. Not really liking how it looks. FixAt doesn't do what I thought. It sets the position of the item that's selected in the list. So far changed the <Menu>...</Menu> section of skin.xml to: <Menu Horizontal="True" Smooth="False" Align="Left" ShowIcon="False" Rotate="False" ShowArrows="False" Scroll="1"> <Position Top="339" Left="168" Width="441" Height="25" Fixed="True" FixAt="1" MaxItem="1"/> <Font>font3</font> <Preview EnableAudio="False" Top="0" Left="0" Width="0" Height="0" /> </Menu> It's still not quite right. Can't get it to only display 1 item at a time from the list of menu items.

Edit the skin.xml file and find the <Menu> line, for example: <Menu Horizontal="False" Smooth="True" Align="Middle" ShowIcon="False" Rotate="False" ShowArrows="False" Scroll="1"> To show the arrows change ShowArrows="False" to ShowArrows="True" similar for icons to be displayed that you asked before, change ShowIcon="False" to ShowIcon="True"

Edit the skin.xml file of the skin you are using and change the following line: <LoadingScreen ShowInfo="False"> to <LoadingScreen ShowInfo="True"> P.S. If you use one the UnleashX's built-in skins, you cannot edit the skin.xml file. It is stored inside the default.xbe file of UnleashX itself and cannot be edited. Built-in skin names are those not surrounded by < and > symbols in the Settings -> Skins list.

Those values can easily be added by editing the skin's skin.xml file and placing them at a location on the screen that you would like them to be displayed. The skin's as provided are of a clean minimalistic design. A user can modify the default Xbox Softmodding Skins, design their own based on the skins provided or add additional skins that provide this information. Read the skinning section of the Unleashx Tutorial Guide for more information on how to add these items to an already existing skin. If you have questions about editing the skins, start a new topic in the UnleashX Skins subforum. You could also add some skins that have these items present. Additional skins found here: Previews of these skins can be seen at https://imgur.com/a/8P1Hz

Again video settings to stick have to be done in the MS dashboard not UnleashX settings. The settings in UnleashX only affect the display while running UnleashX. Once you run a different app, the settings stored in the configuration EEPROM. Those changed by the MS dashboard are used.

When in NTSC mode you have to use the MS dashboard to enable the high definition resolutions. Force Progressive in NKPatcher Settings only forces games to run in progressive mode after you've enabled the high definition modes with the MS dashboard when in NTSC mode. The UnleashX options for high definition modes only work for UnleashX dashboard after enabling them in the MS dashboard and using an AV pack or cable that supports high definition resolutions.

When you boot the console with a disc in the tray, the softmod is not activated. A softmod only activates after the MS dashboard loads which does not happen with a disc loaded into the DVD tray before the MS dashboard starts. The stock MS BIOS attempts to load default.xbe from the DVD disc if found runs it before it ever tries to run the MS dashboard off the hard drive which is when the softmod gets enabled. The eject ring remains GREEN. It does not change to ORANGE that shows that the softmod is active. Enable persistent softmod in NKPatcher settings if you want to have the softmod enabled before the game disc loads.

Easy question first. To use 480p/720p/1080i you have to change to NTSC mode and have a AV pack/cable connected that supports high definition resolutions. Microsoft never released such a AV pack/cable in the PAL regions.

What's happening with the first Xbox that you say is no longer working. "No longer working" can mean lots of things and many are fixable.

Those are the last or next to last BIOS versions released by the various development teams for the Xbox. There are many more earlier releases but it's best not to use any of them.

Try booting a Hexen 2018 disc. Oh wait, the console does not boot to a replacement dashboard anymore. Slayers installer disc messed up your softmod installation. I think you'll have to hotswap connect the hard drive to a PC and use XboxHDM to fix the files stored on the hard drive. Type in xbrowser, not xboxhd when prompted to do so after booting into Linux. Have the MS Dashboard files in XboxHDM's hdm/C folder or HDD_files/C folder depending upon which version of XboxHDM you are using. XboxHDM23USB runs under Windows 10 64-bit version. The Xbox HDD connects to the PC using a compatible USB-to-HDD interface adapter.

2TB Origins

Which BIOS to use depends on your Xbox version more so than the modchip being used. Most BIOSes are 256KB in size. If the modchip has a 512KB bank size, the BIOS's dot bin file is written two (2) times consecutively to fill the bank size of the modchip. There are only a couple of BIOSes compatible with a 1.6 so you have a very short list to pick from. Older revisions have a much larger selection to use. V1.6 BIOSes M8plus_16.bin (Size: 256KB) x2_5035_v16plus_512k.bin (Size: 512KB) V1.0-1.4 BIOSes Size: 512KB x2_5035_vOld_512k.bin Size: 256KB M8plus.bin x2_4983.06_256k.bin x2_4983.67_256k.bin 4981.06_256k.bin 4891.67_256k.bin iND-BiOS.5003.06.bin iND-BiOS.5003.67.bin iND-BiOS.Beta.Feb-11-05.06.bin iND-BiOS.Beta.Feb-11-05.67.bin

Install a good copy of the MS dashboard to the root of the C drive. Rocky5's Xbox Softmodding Tool Extras disc has it. Hexen 2018 disc has a copy of it - StockFiles/C folder. Copy it to the C drive of the Xbox.

The iND-BiOS by default should look for the partition table on the hard drive. If found, use it instead of any LBA48 setting, 06 or 67, preset in the bios's dot bin file that you flashed to the modchip/TSOP.

The drive is already unlocked so you can connect it to a PC and use Xplorer360 or XboxHDM's xbrowser option to copy it to your PC's hard drive. On the PC, move the file to the folder where XboxHDM23USB Beta 2 is extracted and lock it using the lock hard drive option in the main menu. As delivered using XboxHDM23USB does require running a Windows 64-bit OS and connecting the Xbox HDD to the PC with a USB-to-HDD interface adapter. A short incomplete usage XboxHDM23USB Beta 3 pictorial. (Beta 2 and 3 are slightly different. B2 is not preconfigured to install anything the user has to add files to the C and E drive they want to be copied during the Xbox drive build process while Beta 3 is pre-configured to install a bootable (no-original-game-disc-required) Xbox Softmodding Tool installer.
