I bought an OG xbox, softmodded it with Rocky5, upgraded the HDD to a 2TB Seagate Barricuda, have an 80 pin IDE adapter connected to it. I bought 10 games to start off with, to include Halo: CE (the original Halo) and Mechwarrior. I ripped all 10 games to my hard drive. I get horrible, unplayable lag when playing any game (Halo is the most noticeable). Any time I fire the weapon everything lags. I also notice that for every single game, the startup animations (The grey/white/black "Microsoft Game Studios" logo) also lags, so I don't think it's framerate dependent. Here's a link to the logo animation that I am talking about. The animation in this video is how it should look. It's smooth. On my screen (I can't upload a video, sorry), it stutters, lags, and is generally unsmooth. This animation isn't smooth at all, but just showing what I'm talking about for reference. Does this have something to do with HDMI? I am running the output to an hdmi adapter that plays on the monitor. I have tried multiple monitors and have the same problem. The only thing I haven't tried is the component to TV route, because I do not have a TV. I'm wondering if this was a waste of money. Games are unplayable from the HDD, which I thought was supposed to even speed things up. Any help would be appreciated, thank you. -R -
So i booted my old Xbox OG and it boots with AV and startup logo and gives me error 07. You also hear the HDD clicking and assume that the HDD has given up. I searched a couple of topic's how to get a new HDD working and i am not sure how to do it with the Aladdin modchip. So the Aladdin boots in 2 states (short power btn press) green logo normal boot and (long power btn press) Aladdin boot red logo. I read that installing a new HDD requires EEPROM that is needed for the new HDD to be able to recognizable for the Xbox. Retrieving could be done with a RaspBerry Pi, that i have. Not sure if the Aladdin modchip makes it easier to retrieve the EEPROM, also saw that some people boot HeXen is that maybe a possibility? Don't really need the normal boot, the Aladdin boot would be enough as long it can start the games and maybe FTP file transfer. If someone could point me in a direction which option might be best i can search how to do it. Sorry for my noob question.

As you may know Cerbios 2.4.2 finally added the dual HDD mode to its working features, I have been wanting to test it out for a while now but didn't have all the needed pieces until recently so, over the last weekend I went ahead and got myself setup with a dual HDD system. Currently I have 2x500gb SATA drives installed as they were what I had lying around. They are setup as follows. HDD0 (original) C, E and F partitions. HDD1 (secondary) Just one big E partition. SATA Adapters are prototypes from @NeMesiS (They look great and work absolutely perfectly, UDMA6 all day long!!) The extra HDD cradle is also a Nemesis design and fits like a glove. HDD0 is powered by the original molex connector and HDD1 is powered by the DVD power cable, Nemesis' design allows you to do this and it is PERFECT for a dual HDD setup...... IDE cable is the generic yellow 80 wire that you can get from Ali, eBay etc. HDD0 has a pretty standard setup for C, E and F and HDD1 has a Games folder with a selection of Xbox games inside. Software wise, the main dash is LithiumX as this is the only dash that supports dual hdd right now. I have dashloader setup so I can access both Unleash and XBMC-Emustation directly from boot when needed. As of now neither UnleashX or Emustation support the second HDD. I boot into PromOS for FTP access to both HDD's LithiumX doesn't seem to have an FTP server. Everything on HDD0 boots as runs exactly as it would on a standard modded console, XBMC-Emustation runs as it should and all teh included emus work perfectly. Running Xbox games via LithiumX works great and so far I have not noticed any differences/issues at all with the ones that I have tried. Anyway, here's a couple of pics of the setup and a quick video showing the SATA adapters being accessed by the system (pretty flashing LEDS lol) Self built Modxo chip, using @ModzvilleUSA's board design. The chip runs PrometheOS 1.4 Console is a 1.1, yes I know it could probably use a recap Top view with everything installed, HD caddy from @NeMesiS on the left looks like it could be stock. Console up and running. The two blue lights on the SATA adapters show hdd activity. Gratuitoius shot of the closed up shell with the HDD activity light showing through the top (just) Shitty little video of the HDD activity lights in action. LithiumX is on HDD0 (original) while the game list is on HDD1 (secondary). The left light really goes into action when loading the game list for the dash. I will make a better video soon and try to show the dash in action as well. Fantastic work by the entire Cerbios team to make this a reality. Just need the popular dashboards to catch up with support for it now. XBMC based dashes are being worked on afaik. Once support is added to Gamers I'm going to build a huge storage system. On that note I have a question. Does anyone know if the 16Tb support for HDD in Cerbios is a total figure when split across 2 HDD's or can I go for 2x16Tb for a total of 32Tb??

My Xbox is running a 160 GB IDE from 2007 or something. I needed to ask this about 3 years ago, I used Crunchbite's (on Homebrew Discord) 8 GB Etcher image to prepare the new drive then iirc I used the XBox Formatter to make the partitions (which automatically set the cluster size to 16 KB) then I copied all the C:\ drive content from the original 8 GB HDD via FatXPlorer and also transferred some games and homebrew. And at that time when I was using the stock HDD my Xbox was giving me constant 10-11 mb/s on my diy crossover cable connection to my laptop. After I put that new HDD in I didn't notice that right away but the max transfer speeds I get are around 3-7 mb/s on the same crossover ethernet cable. Is it related to the cluster size or is the HDD just bad or on it last legs? -
I copied one XBOX's completely setup hard drive to a new drive using Fatxplorer, just copied C D E F G across after formatting the new drive with the Cerbios option, I've never encountered a problem doing this before, I've done it a few times now over the past week or two. This time though as it's a 6TB drive I copied the full CCI set across along with a bunch of emulators which previously I'd only had select stuff being 2TB drives. Now however, it boots into XBMC4Gamers fine, then the green spinny boxes come up and just keep on spinning, I've left them for hours and they never seem to stop, reboot and they start again Would I be better off deleting XBMC4Gamers off there and doing a fresh install of it? Is there some cache I should delete? Thanks in advance.

Found a good cable at the right price. This is my 1st time doing this so want to ensure I don't get the wrong thing. Can anyone confirm this is the correct cable for the cable upgrade? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/285945357382?_skw=40-Pin+80-Wire+Ultra+ATA+2-Drive+Ribbon+Cable&itmmeta=01J8FJNTK17R82D1ZCRYBY15EN&hash=item4293abe446:g:yyEAAOSwn79miQYA&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKm7iQbBnl8fbU52nphsfcwuAH31NaccGcUbV80i4JT902JWYi6f4XgAav7Xybkxh1nxEmx63PsR38SqwGwENGp7DTRE3m4H6f0AhMfeEom2EU0mRVj9TTuwmtUl6uPhmVFuEO51x%2B0sBMynTSTKHBWvl%2BZnkE5B4LTOj9bZj1yh6D17INxfH4%2B1L%2FzOqeL5lXFnpHxCNDJ5%2FJmSQ8cYLaxhS1s0aUcQJ4SXR0CWhj88TrZ%2FSk%2FbFas%2FO8OF%2FJ36KPcBkilHyXkb2%2BXk3Cbv59RMRHmkOumHImHfqEueFkznUw%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR8qp1_LDZA

Hello, I'm pretty new to the Xbox scene, so I would like some help one this issue. It has been bugging me so much because no matter what I changed it still froze. I'm Running the lastest Cerbios 1024kb BIOS UDMA 2 Mode, and removed the clock capacitor. I first was trying with a cheap IDE to Sata adapter with the stock 40 wire cable. Still freezing. So I changed it to an 80 wire Manhattan brand cable, and it still froze. I checked if it was an overheating problem but it isn't, I just repasted the CPU and GPU, and the max temps showed on both UnleashX and XBMC4Gamers is 55°C CPU, and 50°C for the other probe near the MCPX. 50°CPU and 45°MB when I bumped up the fan speed to 50% on the cerbios.ini. Lastly the freezing in-game appears to be random, sometimes it takes about 30 minutes playing or idle, like today just 5 minutes. And you can also leave the xbox idle on UnleashX for like an hour and a half and you will return to a frozen xbox. I also read on another topic it could be a bad MCPX, or maybe a bad PSU, but I don't know. maybe you guys could shed some light on my problem. Thank you!!! -
I have been rebuilding a few of my Xbox HDD's recently and have built myself a little starter pack for use with FatXplorer. I thought I would link it here just in case anyone else finds it useful. Cerbios HARDMOD New HDD setup files.7z Includes a folder for C, E and F, that just need to be pointed to when formatting a HDD in FatXplorer or extracted and manually copied to an already formatted HDD. C contains a Cerbios.ini (set to HDD and DVD with no other changes from stock), the Cerbios BootAnims folder, a full MS Dash with Dashloader as evoxdash.xbe. E contains the XBMC4Gamers install, an Apps folder, A recovery/backup dashboard and the necessary TDATA and UDATA folders. F has an Apps folder and an empty Games folder. Dashloader is setup as below- Default dash is E:/XBMC4Gamers/default.xbe Recovery Dash is E:/Dashboard/default.xbe (UnleashX) Button shortcuts (Hold at power up)- Start = Boots recovery dash Back = Boots MS Dashboard Other buttons can be setup using Dashloader Customiser in E:/Apps. Apps provided in E:/Apps Dashloader Customiser DVD2Xbox Unleash X Evolution X Controller Tester Enigmah Videomode Switcher XBMC Apps provided in F:/Apps Xbox Artwork Installer 3.2 (If you have internet connection on your Xbox you can delete this and use the Online version available in XBMC4Gamers - Settings - Downloader) After copying across to a HDD you can edit the Cerbios.ini to your specific needs. If anyone has any suggestions of anything useful that they think should also be included please let me know and I can add it. PS I know this isn't an Installation Disc but it didn't seem to fit in any other category

FATXplorer is a great tool and I will eventually get a license, but I have no funds right now and am currently looking for a temporary free solution to browse through the files of an HDD. -
I saw that this was a recently added feature, however, I can't find any documentation on how this is implemented or how to set it up. Has anybody tried this yet?

Hi All, I have an Xecuter 3 CE with the Xraptr solderless adapter. I want to replace the adapter with a real pin header. Doing so will require to add the 3 pin connector for the modchip with wires for the D0, HDD and LAN led's to be soldered to the MB. I bought this gear almost 20 years ago, and do not have that connector with wires for the 3 points. Did they (team xecuter) use a proprietary jack for the 3 pin wire connector? I looked on Ebay for a 3 pin 1mm jack with foot long cables and found one that should work. But if the X3 jack is keyed a certain way it won't fit. Any advise or suggestions will be helpful....Zagman

The xbox cracking scene released quite a few hdd fixes and patches for games.. These are normally just patches to run on default.xbe's. I wonder if anyone here have a collection of those to share. I am especially looking for r-fchdfix ( fight club hdd fix from Riot (ntsc) ) and a hdd fix for shin megami tensei nine.

Hi, Regarding the game Galleon. I see on the CCI compatibility list the loading times are slow for this game when in CCI format, I then noticed it being a split ISO format on download site. And don't understand why the ISO's (combined) size is about 3.5GB, compared to a HDD rip being only about 343MB. There's probably a good reason for Galleon to be in ISO format rather than HDD rip, but I'd also rather save the space on the Xbox hard drive and have it as a HDD rip unless there's a reason not to do it this way? This goes for the ISO games, many are larger than when extract as HDD rip? -

Hey gang. So I’m wanting to upgrade my Hard drive and am about to install a project stellar mod chip with HDMI bundle. I have a version 1.0 motherboard. Any suggestions on good hard drives for me? I wanna download as many games and emulators as possible so I’d prefer a bigger hard drive. Also do you think a ram upgrade would be necessary?

Hi everyone, I just bought a hardmodded PAL XBOX one year ago with 2TB HDD full of games, I haven't had the chance to test all of the games yet, but there are some games that I tried and couldn't load them of the HDD. 1- Conflict Desert storm 2 NTSC: Although I changed the region of the console using ENIGMA to NTSC, but this particular game when trying to load it, ot skips all the logos and vidoes at the beginning and goes straight to the main menu, and when trying to start a new game I get an error that the disk is dirty or something like this, tried to download another version from VIM'S LAYER with the same issue, the PAL version worked. The odd thing about this game is when I tried also to play it on my modded PAL XBOX 360 at gave me the same error, but worked ok with my other modded NTSC XBOX 360. 2- TAZ WANTED: Freeze at the first loading screen 3- Loons: Also freeze after starting new game 4- Tomb raider Legends: No intro video, I suspected that it might be due to the game being NTSC, tried to look for the PAL version but only found that this game has one version for NTSC and PAL. That' all I tested so far, had problems also with 007 Nightfire, and 007 Everything or nothing but all was solved when I swithed the region to NTSC with ENIGMA. Any help or any ideas regarding the above ?

I have 2 XBOXes v1.2 and v1.6 with Rocky5 softmod v1.1.6. I was messing around with the NKPatcher and nulled the HDD drive key on one of them before backing up the EEPROM and now it boots up to error 05. It seems I need to format it using the hotswap method, xboxhdm v1.9 and a backup of the Dashboard from the C partition, which I don't have. Can I use the files from the other XBOX? EDIT: I'm probably looking at it fro the wrong angle... when using the hotswap, won't I get access to the backed up EEPROM in the E partition? Can it be used to restore the HDD?Or is it better to just format it and start from scratch? This subject is still pretty new to me.

I’m attempting to upgrade to a 1 TB SATA HDD. I have the following: Xbox 1.4 Aladdin Advance modchip EvoX M8+ (EvoX.m8.ece.67.noDVD.UX.256.bin flashed from OGX Installer 1.5.4. MD5 4737a026fde9e799d9c7392d05971505) Seagate ST1000DM003 1 TB SATA HDD StarTech IDE2SAT2 adapter Gigabyte 80-wire IDE cable OGX Installer 1.5.4 (DVD-R burnt with slowest speed) I installed the SATA HDD and initially used the stock 40-wire IDE cable since the 80-wire IDE cable is a tight fit. I booted the Xbox with OGX Installer to setup the HDD. The DVD drive tries to load the disc but makes strange noises. It sounds like the laser head is stuck in a loop. It doesn’t do this when I boot the disc without the IDE2SAT2 adapter. After 30 seconds I ejected the disc as I didn’t want to possibly damage the DVD drive. I got the same result with the 80-wire IDE cable. I also tried the IDE2SAT2 adapter in master and cable select mode. The SATA HDD is listed in the Xbox Hard Drive Compatibility Chart, but I don’t think that matters since I’m using a modchip and the drive doesn’t need to be locked. The BIOS I’m using should have LBA48 support. What would be the most likely cause of this issue?

I have an unmodded japanese xbox (rev 1.0) with a dead HDD. I also have a working HDD from a USA xbox (rev 1.6) that has a softmod on it. If I extract the eeprom from the xbox with the dead HDD, can I use fatxplorer 3 to unlock the working softmodded HDD, then relock it with the extracted HDD password from the eeprom? Or would the xbox not read the new HDD because the model and serial numbers don't match the original eeprom? I've found one tutorial on how to setup the new HDD with the extracted eeprom but that tutorial uses a spare xbox and will format/clear the new HDD, which I do not want since it's already formatted correctly and has a lot of games on it. Any help would be appreciated

I'm having a strange issue. I flashed my TSOP with EvoX M8 plus and upgraded to a larger 120 gig IDE drive. I used FatXplorer to create a "games" folder in the F partition and moved some games over. I can see the games in UnleashX and EvolutionX dashboards, but they won't launch from the file explorer. The xbox just boots back to the dashboard. I can't launch from the games tab either. I used the same 2020 TruHexen disk that I used for my 1st xbox. The SATA drive on that xbox works fine on all my xboxes, but the IDE drive simply will not launch any games in my TSOP xbox or two other openXenium xboxes. I've used multiple 40 pin and 80 pin cables, and I've reformatted the drive multiple times. Is it possible that FatXplorer isn't functioning correctly and I need to FTP the games over? I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I'm running into a similar issue with another SATA drive. I'll create a "games" folder in the F partition with FatXplorer, but that partition looks completely empty from file explorer. Why on earth can't I properly format two drives, load games onto them with FatXplorer, and launch games from them? I don't understand why it worked in the past and now it's not working. I need ideas.

Please help! I have just installed an new 40gb ide hdd and a pc dvd drive (just to get my modded xbox to boot) I put the OGXBOX Cerbio installer dvd into the drive and it booted to the ogxbox menu It recognised taht i had a new HDD and asked if i wanted to format it which i did (i can now see C,E and F drives) I then flashed my alladin modchip v1.6 with the cerbios bio which worked. but when i try to install a dashboard off the dvd it just hangs and wont do anything,just says please wait and empty progress bars. This means the xbox wont boot unless the OGXBOX installer disc is in the drive as there is no dashboard. Have i missed something? What am i doing wrong Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi guys. I have a Xbox 1.0 with cheapmod (LPC Based SST49LF020) (Bios: Xecuter2 4983.67) and after i won't turn on the console for 1 or 2 days i always end up with Error 07 HDD Timeout. I tried out with 3 HDDs and i always get the same results. The interesting thing is if i unplug the IDE Cable and plug it back it boots without a problem, but after 1-2 days it's starts to act up. Any idea?
