    Yes, there are on emuxtras.net's forum.

    Looks like you have a 1.6 version of the Halo edition. Check for a mounting post below the serial number sticker on the bottom of the console. (Since the case is translucent, you can see through it to note the absence or presence of the mount.) (https://imgur.com/a/HM6PU) If it's a 1.6, the SMD transistor between the Xyclops chip and clock cap most likely needs to be replaced. To test and fix, watch Floydzabarber's YouTube video titled: Original Xbox version 1.6 won't power on fix.

    Saving settings is different than saving game state - progress thus far in the game. I'm not sure if emulators can save a per game setup.

    Which BIOS is being used?
  6. KaosEngineer
    You have a v1.0 Xbox there. It has a fan on the GPU heatsink. And, the main fan at the back of the case to pull in cool air and exhaust it after heated inside the console. Source: https://www.eurasia.nu/wiki/index.php/XboxVersionTable Originally from the now defunct Xbox-scene.com.

    You could try adding delays into the font loading. When the console boots properly, run the NKPatcher Settings app and change the number of delays. Reboot and see if it starts consistently booting into the dashboard. If not, add another delay. Rocky5's Xbox Softmodding Tool's NKPatcher Settings app can add a maximum of 5 delay files. 5.1.2 XTF Font Delay Options Remove all: Install 1 Delay file: Install 2 Delay files: Install 3 Delay files: Install 4 Delay files: Install 5 Delay files:

    The newer version makes swapping the DVD and new HDD easier. Download and use the updated version of Chimp, 261812, from Rocky5's github repository. The application itself is in the E Partition subfolder.

    That's why you need a WILL to spell out every item of value and what should be done with them.

    @emosun, if misunderstood, what were you meaning to ask?

    XBMC4Xbox, XBMC4Gamers (pre-built) or source repository and XBMC-Emustation have skin(s) and/or scripts to use game artwork. Most replacement dashboards don't have as sophisticated a skinning engine to provide for displaying artwork. UnleashX's XvGM skin provides for a unique implementation of providing game artwork, synopsis and preview video.

    Are the games the PAL version or NTSC version? I don't have a PAL system in the States. I'm not sure if that matters though. From what I understand, there are some PAL games that only run in PAL mode - low resolution 480i or 576i not any progressive mode once switched to NTSC mode. But, again I have no PAL console to try so don't take my word for it.
  14. KaosEngineer
    Many Xbox games run at 480p others 720p and a very few at 1080i (not recommended to enable 1080i). To play any game at a higher resolution than 480i, you have to use a high-definition AV pack or component cable. Once connected, the higher resolutions can be enabled in the MS Dashboard's Video Settings menu. If you have a PAL console, it has to be modded and switched to NTSC mode as the higher-resolutions are not available when operating in PAL video mode.

    You're welcome. It is not the easiest skin to get setup. You don't simply upload the skin files to a subfolder in UnleashX's Skins folder
  16. KaosEngineer
    XVM, they are dot xmv files - the game's video preview. The skin itself is 2MB's of files to store in UnleashX's Skins folder - in a subfolder for example: XVGM - either the extract content or as a zip file. The Skin doesn't have to be extracted to load. However, the files cannot be in a sub-subfolder as they are in the XVGM (US).zip I've seen. WIll need to look again at the large archives file structure. Extracted content saved in UnleashX's Skins/XVGM/ folder Videos/ background.png filemanager.jpg filemanager.png Impact_12.xpr loading.png mp.png 1mp_Buttons.png mp_pl.png Skin.xml Skin.xml.temp (not necessary old backup file of Skin.xml. It can be deleted.) Splash.jpg Place the dot xmv preview video files into the Videos subfolder shown above. However, it is not required that these files are stored there. They can go in each game's subfolder too. One folder to find all the preview videos or many different folders to browse to. It's up to you where they are stored. Either way, each game/app/emulator's menu listing has to be edited to add the path to the preview video to be played.
  17. KaosEngineer
    No tutorials that I've seen. You have to have menu editing enabled in the settings and go to each game/app listed in their associated menu to set the preview video to use for each one. What are some of the png filenames? The Xbox only supports 42 characters including the .png extension so only 38 in the remainder of the name. Also not all characters are allowed, the list of allowed characters is: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789!#$%&'()-.@[]^_`{}~ (that includes the space character shown after the tilde)

    The devs must think so why else release it.
  20. KaosEngineer
    Patched to run from HDD works from either F or G drive. They are both partitions running the game off the hard drive.
  21. KaosEngineer
    Depends on the dashboard and skin you use. XBMC-Emustation with it's built-in downloader to install them is the easiest way.

    ReDump are to be complete data extractions of the dual-layer DVD game discs. ~8.5GBs generally 6.xGB's compressed files. XISO dot ISO image files are the XDVDFS game file content of the dual layer DVD original media. What you see when you FTP into a modded console and browse the D:\ drive (DVD drive) of the Xbox.

    The steps required to flash the TSOP can be reduced to 1 - install a softmod package that flashes the TSOP after bridging the flash enable points on the motherboard. No need to install modchip, softmod, flash. Just boot the original game and load the game save to flash the TSOP with the BIOS you have included.

    @bluemeanie23 working on a PCB layout that can use either DIP-8 or SOIC-8 packaged ATTiny microcontrollers and unpopulated PCBs can be ordered online. Not sure about availability to ship to your location though. The first couple revs have a bug or two. I haven't seen the v1.3 update to fix the trace(s).
  25. KaosEngineer
    Have you had a component cable connected and the 480p and/or higher resolutions enabled? If so, you need to reconnect the component cable so you can disable them else the game still tries to output in a higher-resolution mode even when the composite cable is connected. Update: If it runs from the disc, one would think it would do the same from the HDD. The UnleashX settings don't change values stored in the configuration EEPROM. Its video settings only affect the dashboard itself not any other app that you run from it.
