What do you mean by this statement? You see the Evox shield in the upper left hand corner of the start up animation when you power on the system. Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/originalxbox/comments/ui3t5u/my_xbox_boots_up_with_that_evox_logo_what_do_i/ If so, that's the indication that an Evolution-X BIOS is being used. Two Software Components used to Modify an Original Xbox Team Evolution-X created many versions of both of these software components: 1. Modified BIOS/kernel that removed/disabled the security features built into the stock BIOS/kernel. Evolution-X created several different modified BIOS/kernel releases: for v1.0 Xboxes only: 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, and 2.6 (most likely many older v0.x and v1.x releases too) for v1.1 Xboxes only: 3.6 for v1.0 or v1.1 Xboxes: D.6 v1.0-v1.6 (MULTI_VERSION): M7 v1.0-v1.6b (MULTI_VERSION): M8 and M8plus their final release. 2. Replacement Dashboard Evolution-X created several releases of their replacement dashboard - Evolution-X Dash (a.k.a., Evoxdash / RemoteX). The last release being v+3935. Source: https://www.se7ensins.com/forums/threads/every-modded-xbox-dahsboard.433141/ BIOS / Kernel Version Since the Kernel version is 5838 from the previously posted UnleashX System Info page, it is either the Evolution-X M8 or M8plus BIOS. You cannot tell exactly which from the kernel version value alone. Team Evolution-X didn't change the kernel version for every BIOS they released to better identify which one you have installed. They left the kernel version the same as the original Xbox BIOS it is based upon. Here 5838 is the stock v1.6 Xbox's BIOS/kernel version number.

Serial Number: 104637740806 Format of information that can be determined from the serial number value: LNNNNNNYWWFF L = factory line number this Xbox was made on NNNNNN = number of this Xbox made during its week (WW) of production Y = Year produced = 200Y - 2004 WW = Week of the year produced --> 8th week of 2004. FF = factory this Xbox was produced in. 02 = Mexico, 03 = Hungary, 05 = China, 06 = Taiwan --> Taiwan

These questions have nothing directly related to finding a fix for these games freezing. I'm just wanting to obtain a few more details about your Xbox version. Which modified Xbox BIOS are you using? Which replacement dashboard are you using? If UnleashX, which version are you using? Next, press (Y) to display a System Info window: What is the kernel version number? What is the serial number of the Xbox? You are using an 80-wire 40-pin high-speed IDE cable with the SSD/IDE-to-SATA adapter combo?

Don't know about working with the SPI2PAR2019; however, the Spi2i2c2020- mentions working with US2066 controller-based OLEDs. turfster1/Spi2i2c2020-: Open source recreation of the spi2par.

Powering on when plugged in - trace rot on the bottom side of the motherboard along the front edge.

The configuration EEPROM on the motherboard died, is no longer accessible or the data stored inside is corrupt. No Xbox BIOS that allows you to run XBE files (play games) will boot with a bad EEPROM. Some of the modchip OS's will boot without a good EEPROM or access to it. IIRC, FlashBIOS and other Cromwell-based BIOSes will too but you cannot do much with them other than boot Linux or flash a different BIOS to the modchip. Use a Raspberry PI, Arduino or serial EEPROM reader/writer cable to read the contents from the chip. Load it into LiveInfo v1.6. It will probably show that the content is corrupt is all which you already know from the RED flashing Eject ring. Do you have a backup of the EEPROM's content. An eeprom.bin file on your PC? If the chip is dead, remove and replace it with a new one and write the eeprom.bin file's content back to it.

I don't believe it will.

It is. He/She's posted it several times.

The LC4064V CPLD found on the Aladdin 64's, XenoFX Pro's, can do both functions. Edit: It has twice as many programmable Macrocells - 64 instead of 32 of an LC4032V CPLD. Modding the current Aladdin's with an LC4032 can only be programmed to work as a modchip - boot a modified BIOS from the flash chip onboard or act as an LCD driver.

The stock dashboard does not have an FTP server to connect to. You can only connect to an FTP server on a modded Xbox running a replacement dashboard.that has it enabled.

There were Aladdin 64's (a.k.a. XenoFX Pro's) that used a Lattice LC4064V CPLD instead of an LC4032V CPLD. The 12 pads to the right of the one labeled BT on the top of the above pictured modchip connected to the LCD module. And, there was a potentiometer on the three pads forming a triangle below them used to adjust the contrast of the display.

You'd need to see what the current security level is. HIGH or MAXIMUM. IIRC, the command-line tool, smartctl.exe, that comes with XboxHDM23USB Beta 2, 3 or 4 will tell you when you check the current lock status. And, Beta 3 and 4 have a menu option to check the lock status of the hard drive that Beta 2 does not have. When HIGH, either the MASTER or USER password can be used to unlock the hard drive; however, when MAXIMUM only the USER password will work. The USER password is computed cryptographically using the HDDKey, hard drive model and serial number.

For Seagate and Western Digital stock hard drives, you can use the manufacturer's MASTER password if the Xbox they were installed in was not modded. Xbox stock Western Digital HDD MASTER unlock password: WDCWDCWDCWDCWDCWDCWDCWDCWDCWDCWD Xbox stock Seagate HDD MASTER unlock password: Seagate followed by 25 space characters FATXplorer 3.0 beta knows these MASTER passwords and other MASTER passwords used by modding scene apps to unlock them: TEAMASSEMBLY and XBOXSCENE

Simple google search for xsorr lead me right to it.

5.2 is the latest I find. 5.0, 5.0a, 5.1?; not sure of any letter as it is not listed with an f - simply 5.1; and 5.2 along with a complete save are available at archive.org: https://archive.org/details/streets-of-rage-remake

Download, extract and burn the disc image of OGXbox Installer 2021 v1.5.4 to DVD-R media then boot it with the modchip enabled.

Which file are you trying to flash to the modchip? What is its size in bytes? It should be exactly 262144 bytes.

Are all of the files listed in the following image present in the folder where you are running pandora.exe from?

XBlast Lite or Chameleon

Isn't it the one in XBMC4Gamers' system/media subfolder instead of the one in the top-level directory.

There's a difference in the LPC-connected flash memory chips: SST49LF020 vs SST49LF020A. The 020A fixes an addressing bug present in the 020 that allowed it to load the BIOS from the 4 different 256KB banks which the Xbox uses IIRC, the CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device) - the LC4032V - is used for additional features; modchip enable/disable, HDD activity; and allows access to the SST49LF020A - data addressing bug fixed - from the Xbox to load the BIOS and stored data from the 256KB flash memory chip.

To do what to it?

Press (Y) to display UnleashX's System Info page. If you haven't already, find the value for the kernel version and post it in a reply. I've not read every post to this forum thus far.
