Hi, I'm new here. I have been captivated by the OG Xbox community since I repaired my friend's 1.6 console, it had an old clone of a "Duo X2" chip which booted like, 1 out 10 times lol.
I replaced it with a ModXO, and, after configuring everything and doing some testing on the console, i fell in love.
After returning the console to my friend, i decided to buy one myself. I procured a 1.4 for just 30€, and also a component adapter for just 10€.
I was overjoyed. My own Xbox!
I love collecting retro hardware, and i never considered getting a Xbox as i thought they were rare or expensive. Turns out, that you can get them pretty cheap if you don't mind getting them with blown capacitors lol.
As i already did fix one console, i thought this one would be easy to fix, but it is giving me some trouble.
I'll talk about it on its dedicated thread though, i just wanted to share my story.
I hope to get along well with all of you!
Also, happy (almost) new year!
