    Reboot and see if they show up. If not, you will have to edit UnleashX’s config.xml file to add E:\Games to the search paths.
  2. KaosEngineer
    Where did you upload them to on the Xbox: E:\Games, F:\Games, G:\Games in a subfolder for each game? Which dashboard are you using?
  3. KaosEngineer
    The dashboard settings and items listed in the programs, games and emulators menu are set in the replacement dashboards' configuration files for UnleashX's it's config.xml, for Evoxdash it's evox.ini, etc. Was the console softmodded prior to installing a modchip and now the menus have changed booting the BIOS on the modchip?
  4. KaosEngineer
    Look at the System Info page of UnleashX. Press the Y button on the controller from the main menu. To exit - press the B or Back button.
  5. KaosEngineer
    I'd try but I don't think that's the fix. What version of the modded BIOS are you using?

    Boot and installer disc - HeXEn 2018 and repair the damage done. First, was the replacement dashboard loading from the E drive? How is your Xbox modded?

    UnleashX 0.39.0222A Build 572 is the next to next latest build ever released to the Xbox scene. It doesn't have the FTP root directory listing problem that cropped up in the final release 0.39.0528A Build 584. If games are freezing up, the hard drive could be going out. You may try to clear the cache drives on the Xbox's X, Y and Z drives. Delete all the files and folders in all of them. Some configurations of UnleashX have an menu entry to empty (clear) the cache drives. If you don't like UnleashX, there are other replacement dashboards for the console. Evoxdash but it has no built-in File Explorer to manage/view the contents of the hard drive partitions and is older than UnleashX. XBMC4Xbox v3.5.3 or one of Rocky5's latest renditions of it: XBMC4Gamers or his latest masterpiece XBMC-Emustation Install them in the Applications folder and give each a try. I'd not use the softmod extras disc to to alter settings for a hard modded system (just my preference). However, Rocky5 has been updating the Xbox Softmodding Tool's Extras Disc to work with hard modded consoles too.

    What video cable are you using? If using the high-res component video cable, try the standard definition cable with an old TV.

    Send them over - either with Qwix v1.0.1 which extracts the files from XISO disc images and uploads them via FTP or have Qwix extract the files and upload them with an FTP client. There are several other apps that can extract the files from the XISO disc image. C-Xbox Tool v2.0.7 has a built-in FTP client to upload them to the Xbox without first extracting the files to the PC's hard drive like Qwix does. Or, with a softmodded console (I know that using Rocky5's Xbox Softmodding Tool works), upload the dot iso (XISO) file itself and the attach app from NKPatcher's driveimageutils v1.0.1- renamed to default.xbe - and edit it's internal XBE TitleID to show the name you want listed in the replacement dashboard's menu. The above steps are for XISO disc images - dot iso files - NOT ReDump-style disc image dot isos. You need to use XDVDMulleter to extract the XDVDFS portion from them and upload the files extracted to a subfolder on the Xbox (e.g. /E/games/<game name goes here>/, /F/Games/<subfolder name>, G/Games/<subfolder name>). Otherwise, you can rip the games from your original game discs with the Xbox App DVD2Xbox v0.7.8 with 234 ACL files.

    I've not had much luck getting the few games I've tried to run. The one light gun game I tried to run, Virtua Cop 2, says it is loading but never starts after the title screen. The file format mentioned in the Yabuse compatibility thread at emuxtras.net is bin/cue however the emulator runs them from the dot bin file. If you have no sound to rename the current dot bin file to something else, edit the game's cue file. In the first line, change the dot bin file referenced to its new name and change the extension of the cue file to bin. Run the game from the edited dot bin (the cue) file that references the old dot bin file that you renamed.. I'll continue testing a few more as I find them. List of Sega Saturn Light-Gun Games Area 51 Chaos Control Remix Corpse Killer: Graveyard Edition Crypt Killer Death Crimson (Japan-only release) Die Hard Trilogy The House of the Dead (does not play from what I've found in compatibility lists) Mighty Hits (Japan-only release) Maximum Force Policenauts (contains light-gun sequences - Japan-only release) Scud the Disposable Assassin Virtua Cop Virtua Cop 2 Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gun_games#Sega_Saturn

    From the yabuse emulator's compatibility list - http://wiki.yabause.org/index.php5?title=Compatibility_list The House of the Dead is not supported and Virtua Cop is playable. (Not sure of the PC system specs required to make games run fast enough to call them playable.) From what I've read, it should play from ISOs. The Xbox may not be fast enough to call them playable. 128MB memory upgrade should help as well as overclocking the CPU. Testing I'm going to try a game - Virtua Cop 2 (J) in bin/cue format. I will report back what happens trying to play it on the Yabuse A2 Unofficial release for the Xbox.

    Not sure how good they are but here's a repository of AvaLaunch Skins. Go up a level to find folders for other Xbox replacement dashboards. There's much more than skins for the Xbox in other folders up another level too. For UnleashX, I have an UnleashX Skins - My Top 10 Picks pack available in this site's download section:

    What version of Chimp? I know of at least 5 versions available on the net: 2618, 261811 and 3 slightly different versions of 261812. Obtain the latest 261812 version from https://github.com/Rocky5/Chimp261812. Click on the Clone or download button then Download ZIP, extract its content and upload the E Partition/Chimp folder to the Xbox's hard drive E:\Apps or F:\Apps directory.

    E:\TDATA\fffe0000\music\soundtracks\ You need the E:\TDATA\fffe0000\music\ST.DB file too. It is the database with the soundtrack info for the Xbox to list the content of the soundtracks folder. You can use the Xbox Soundtrack Editor v0.97 to download and upload music files to networked Xboxes (WMA8 format).

    It is a Delta brand - says so right on the PSU's printed circuit board. The 5Vdc level is too high and 12Vdc level is too low. Were those voltages measured when the PSU was connected to the motherboard?

    I tried to find the installation manual for the XBHDDXX on the Wayback Machine; however, bestplayer.de required a user to have a login to see files stored in what they called their database. Making it impossible for the Wayback Machine to archive those files. Does anyone have a copy of bestplayer.de's XBHDDXX AddOn installation instructions or other files from their database (downloads)?

    Error code 7 - HDD timeout - hard drive not accessible by the Xbox. This error usually occurs when the hard drive is dead. Do you know that the hard drive still works? If it is unlocked and you've TSOP flashed the Xbox you are installing it into, it should load right up if a replacement dashboard exists at a location the modified BIOS is looking for it or the MS dashboard if not found and the files for it are on the 500GB HDD.

    Which version of CXBX? Xbox Emulators are not ready for primetime use! Try CXBX-Reloaded
  19. KaosEngineer
    Can you post a couple more clearer close up pictures of the front and back of each board? Thank you.

    Check the location where UnleashX is looking for the skins. System -> Settings -> System page. Scroll down to the Skin section. If the Skins Path value is Skins, you'll have to look further as to where UnleashX is being loaded from when the console boots. Go back to the main menu (press B several times) then press Y on the controller to display the System Info page. Scroll down to UnleashX section and not the Path value. The Skins folder has to be in the location of the Path where UnleashX is loaded from on the hard drive. For example, my UnleashX shows the UnleashX Path value as C:\; thus, skins are uploaded to subfolders in the folder C:\Skins. Note: From the System -> Settings -> System page, you can edit the Skins section's Path value. Press the A button and browse (B to go up a level, D-pad to select (highlight) a folder and A to browse under the selected (highlighted) path or Start to accept the current highlighted path where you want to load the skins from on the hard drive.

    FTP the same as you would on a PC. I believe OSX has a command line FTP client you can use from a shell prompt and simple GUI version ??? - a little known feature of OS X. Plain old FTP connections to the Xbox. It doesn't support secure logins with SFTP or FTPS. http://osxdaily.com/2011/02/07/ftp-from-mac/ There are free GUI-based clients for OSX too. FileZilla is one available for the Mac running OS X: https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?platform=osx

    What language is the console set to in the MS dashboard?
  23. KaosEngineer
    Have you tried an 80-wire 40-pin high-speed IDE cable or a different IDE-to-SATA adapter? I know when I installed a larger SATA drive its operation was not reliable using the stock 40-wire 40-pin IDE cable. Once I switched cables, it worked!
  24. KaosEngineer
    The BIOSes on the Xboxes must have different LBA48 configurations. Not sure why C would disappear though as it's a stock partition at a fixed location known by all BIOSes.
  25. KaosEngineer
    I think there's another PCB with a relay on it to power only one drive at a time. I saw a thumbnail picture of it and now I can't locate it again. The site bestplayer.de that made and sold them no longer exists and the Wayback Machine's (WBM) capture is lacking.
