You set the timezone in the MS Dashboard. It's not installed on the hard drive after installing Rocky5's Softmod. You have to FTP the MS Dashboard 5960's files/folders to the Xbox's C drive or use the Xbox Softmodding Tools Extras disc to install it.

Depends how it was setup in the first place. It would be nice if you had the eeprom.bin backup from the console it was installed in. Do you know how the console it came from was modded? Update: You said softmodded. Do you remember which softmod was used? What brand and model is the hard drive? MASTER Passwords may be XBOXSCENE, TEAMASSEMBLY or the manufacturer's default.

Oh, there is an Origins hard drive image available at arcadepunks' web site. However, it's to be installed on a 2TB hard drive using HDD Guru's HDD Raw Copy Tool or similar application.

The XMBC Origins UI Update Mod requires having the XBMC Origins v1.0.0 skin installed along with the updated keymaps file from Dom DXecutioner's original thread: [RELEASED] XBMC Origins v1.0.0 The links are provided at the bottom of the first post. However, there is no artwork or icons - the _resources/ content to add to each game's folder - included with the skin. For Playstation 4's [WIP] XBMC Origins UI Update Mod, he tells you in his first post: Requirements & Installation: An existing, vanilla installation of the Origins Skin is required. Dom's custom keymaps.xml is required. This is to be obtained from Dom's thread, linked above this line. Extract the Updated UI zip into the skin's root directory, XBMC\skin\XBMC Origins\

You can install UnleashX to replace whatever replacement dashboard is currently installed. Not exactly sure where or which dashboard is running after you softmodded. Post a directory listing a the C drive. It should help. Or, use Rocky5's Xbox Softmodding Tool/Build v1.1.6/Installer Variants/Quick Upgrade.zip app to install his latest softmod and it uses the UnleashX dashboard. Documentation is included in the Zip file on how to install and run the quick upgrade tool.

Check out this video at YouTube.com by The Grok Shop. He goes through the entire process of softmodding the console - hotswapping and nDure 3.1 setup. Links provided in the video description to the all apps he uses.

From your description, your hard drive may already have a softmod installed. Possibly UDDAE or other audio exploit that's messed with the ST.DB file. See what happens by performing the following steps: 1. Power on the system. 2. From the MS Dashboard, select Music, then: Select the blank soundtrack Select Copy Select Copy Select New Soundtrack Enter <<Eggsßox>> ( with two '<' Symbols, capital 'E', beta Accent 'ß' and two '>' Symbols ) Select Done Now the MS logo should appear & the MSdash will reload. 3. Once again, select Music, then: Select the blank soundtrack Select Copy Select Copy Select New Soundtrack Select Done What happens?

Purchase a more expensive TL866II plus external programmer and PLCC32 adapter for it. If you are running 32-bit Windows OS, you will not have problem using the NANO USB Programmer to reflash the SST49LF020A chip. Windows Defender tags the flashing software as being infected with a virus. Or at least, it used to. The seller claims it's from part of their license protect code. Yeah, right! Okay.. I don't own one of these programmers. I'd downloaded the software before and Defender had popped up a message about an infection some time ago when I looked into purchasing the NANO USB Programmer to flash SST49LF080As. Update: Not much better now. 23 of 72 detection engines at VirusTotal show that the executable extracted from the archive is infected. (https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/fdac946d0171aae5d6d38a67055f61f8762e9d7a1d8f61c5e9724a598fe09249/detection) Even the 32-bit software and driver are not signed and Windows 10 Security pops-up a message asking if you really want to install it or not. Doesn't instill confidence in this product. Sorry I mentioned it.

Is the flash memory chip on your old Aladdin soldered to the modchip's printed circuit board (PCB) or socketed? If socketed, you can remove the chip from the socket and use a Nano USB Flash programmer on a PC to reflash the correct BIOS to the chip. One such eBay listing. There may be several sellers so check pricing by looking at a few other listings or any other external flash programmer (e.g., TL866ii plus with PLCC32 adapter) that supports the flash memory chip - it is most likely a SST49LF020 or SST49LF020A. If you have another modchip and installed the Aladdin using the pin header instead of quicksolder install method, you can remove the bad flashed modchip, install a working modchip in the Xbox and hotswap the modchip after booting to reflash the wrong BIOS flashed one. It the wrong BIOS flashed to the modchip that's now causing the Xbox v1.6b to FRAG. The Xbox will boot again when the correct BIOS can load from the modchip. Remove the modchip and it should boot into an unmodded state no longer FRAG'ing.

XDVDMulleter Beta 10.2 can be used to do the same thing and more. It's in English. Not my application, I just uploaded it to the download's section of OGXbox.com

Try deleting all the files in the X, Y and Z drives using UnleashX's File Explorer. Or, the Menu item: System -> Clear Cache It may not be present if not added to the menu settings in UnleashX's config.xml file.

The Xbox is finicky about which USB flash drives it will work with. The maximum size is 4GB's. Plug one into the Xbox via some USB-to-controller port adapter or cable. Go into the Memory section of the MS Dashboard. Hopefully it will format it and have no problems. Otherwise, the screen will start strangely flashing/flickering or an error message will pop-up saying something along the lines of being a bad / corrupted drive. Best to use older and smaller flash drives. They just need to be large enough to hold the exploited saves to mod the console. Rocky5's all fit on an 8MB memory card while with SID it takes a couple hundred megabytes. SID's installer contains more files to install additional software than Rocky5's Xbox Softmodding Tool which has the additional software on an Extras disc to burn to DVD and use after softmodding.

Evox dash installed on the hard drive. Create a BIOS subfolder where you install it (e.g., dash in F:\Apps\Evox create a subfolder named F:\Apps\Evox\BIOS\), to place the dot bin files in. http://the-eye.eu/public/xbins/XBOX/Console Based Applications/apps/dashboards/evolution-x/_official/EvolutionX Build 3935.rar Update: This archive already has a Bios, Skin, and Trainers folder once extracted. However, evoxdash.xbe needs to be renamed to default.xbe to have a replacement dashboard add it to the Apps menu. Only those subfolders 1-level below Apps are scanned for default.xbe files. No default.xbe file found no menu entry created. evoxdash.xbe's internal XBE Title (nay, default.xbe) is RemoteX not evoxdash so look for that name in the Apps menu to start it.

Yes, I've used it. All the color choices are supposed to work. Can you provide a link to a copy of your updated BIOS file? That way, I can take a look at the file and try to figure out what's wrong.

Yes, same method you originally used to get the SID Splinter Cell and softmod installer to the flash drive. Xplorer360 to write to the FATX formatted flash drive that the MS dashboard will read to copy them to the Xbox's hard drive. Rocky5's video tutorial. It's a bit dated as a newer version of the Xbox Softmodding Tool is available since the video's release a few years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnL1ttepaDo

Evoxdash should be resizing the 256KB to flash it 4x in a row to fill the 1MB flash on the v1.1's motherboard. If it did flash, I don't see how it could revert back to a previous version of the BIOS. You are sure there's not a modchip installed inside? Sounds like you'd know since you soldered the TSOP flash enable bridges.

What software did you use to reflash the BIOS to the chip? Since the v1.1 Xbox has a 1MB flash chip that holds the BIOS, it would be best to create a 1MB BIOS file to flash to it. If the software only flashed 1/2 of the chip you may have 2 different BIOSes on the chip. For some operations of the BIOS data is loaded from the lowest bank and others the highest bank of the 1MB flash chip. Example DOS box command line to create a 1MB 5035 BIOS.bin file to flash: copy /b X2_5035.bin+X2_5035.bin X2_5035_1MB.bin

Why not install Rocky5's Softmod in the first place? You don't have to use SID then upgrade to Rocky5's Xbox Softmodding Tool. His Build v1.1.6/Xbox Softmodding Tool.zip archive has game saves for Splinter Cell (NTSC and PAL saves available), 007: Agent Under Fire (NTSC only), MechAssualt (NTSC only) and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 (NTSC, PAL and region free saves available).

Yes, create subfolders under PCSXbox's psxcds folder. Each subfolder will be able to hold 4096 files/folders.

https://github.com/Free60Project/wiki/blob/master/FATX.md#Limitations Free60 Project - the 360 sucessor to xbox-linux.org but it was there too. But there list of allowed characters doesn't list all the characters I've seen before for filenames/folders:ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwx yz0123456789!#$%&'()-.@[]^_`{}~ (that includes the space character) https://www.epforums.org/showthread.php?87071-XBOX-FATX-limitations-and-notes The number of game saves from epforums.org states only 240 game saves could be saved in E:\UDATA and E:\TDATA folders but that seems to be disproven. Although people had reported problems with more than 240-250 game saves on there hard drive deleting some and games that before black screened on startup now played. Why the problem, still a mystery if the save count wasn't actually it. Were they out of storage space on the E drive? etc... Which is correct or a combination of information from both...

A subfolder's file count limit is 4096 files

They show up on eBay occasionally. Find a broken Xbox / DVD drive to use its. They are generally high priced for a injection molded piece of plastic. https://www.ebay.com/itm/OFFICIAL-Original-Xbox-DVD-Disc-Drive-Tray-Door-Cover-Bezel-Genuine-OEM-Product/323755454336?hash=item4b61542f80:g:tf0AAOSwfLpbkZM- but this is on the States ebay site for $8.95. A different one for $9.93 and another for $6.95 with $4.31 S&H worldwide shipping available check pricing, (maybe they will ship one to the UK: https://www.ebay.com/itm/USA-SELLER-OEM-Original-XBOX-First-Generation-DVD-Drive-Tray-Bezel/291166855972?hash=item43cae5a324:g:IkUAAOSwq5lTmF8G

How many files do you have in the folder? Are any of the file names longer than 42 characters (the extension of a filename counts as 4 - example .bin)? Not all characters are valid for use in the FATX filesystem that work on a PC: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwx yz0123456789!#$%&'()-.@[]^_`{}~ (that includes the space character)

The specific kernel fonts only have anything to do with a softmod install, not a hardmod installation booting a hacked BIOS from a modchip. Which IDE-to-SATA adapter are you using with the SSD drive?

If XDVDMulleter Beta 10.2 doesn't work to extract the contents from the archive.org ISO, I can extract the files from my copy. The disc, D, shows up as being 6,701MBs. Maybe all Game discs do. The maximum free-space remaining on the Xbox's DVD disc. Update: 6,701MBs is the free space on the DVD disc. However, it's odd that using UnleashX's File Explorer to select all the files/folders on the disc then using Calc. Used Space, the result is only 956.57MB. Update: Not sure why I was so confused about the value displayed in the first place. Update: Ah, the UnleashX dashboard's File Explorer's Top-Level Directory listing, the drive letter list, shows the free space on each device/drive. If no disk is loaded in the DVD drive tray, nothing is displayed on the right-hand side of the listing pane for the D drive.
