Hi, I have a modded original Xbox with coin-ops 8 on it. I was playing a game on coin-ops 8, and when I exited the game by pressing start and back on the controller and got back to the games list, the game had disappeared. I don't know if I maybe selected something on accident or what. How do I get the game back? Is there a way? BTW I'm pretty computer illiterate and don't own a computer. I also hit the black button to access the full games list instead of just favorites and the game is still gone.

I created a backup drive about a year ago mainly for cloning services if needed. I followed an online tutorial guide from, "Borderline OCD" on Youtube due to my interest in Cerbios at the time. I've I never had any issues before this, but for some reason my backup drives won't show the F: drive when loaded into FatXplorer which is where I placed almost 99% of my game backups and other larger files. I just find it strange that none of these HDD"s/SSD's have been altered in anyway and now FatXplorer can't find F: to mount it. Any help would be great. I'm hoping I wont have to start fresh or something because that would suck. Maybe it's something regarding the latest version of FatXplorer? Thanks in advance. Here's the options I chose during formatting.

So I installed modxo on my pi pico and flashed prometheos to it and then cerbios on a 1.6b crystal xbox. I've had it setup like this for a bit. Now I thought you could boot into prometheos by booting with the eject button but that just takes me to cerbios safe mode. If I unplug the power then i can get one boot into promethos, but once I launch cerbios I cannot get back into prometheos without doing a power cycle. Worse, if I set cerbios to autoboot, the only way back into prometheos is by using Prometheos-tools through the xbox and reflashing prometheos. Does anyone know why this is happening? Thanks.

Is this power supply multivolt? A friend gave me this power supply and it worked on a 220v outlet despite it saying 100-127v. This power supply doesn't look like it's been modded. I have other power supplies of the same model and I've been using a 110v to 220v transformer with them.

Since this is my first post (long time lurker) I just want to say I appreciate everyone who devotes time to making this console better than ever 20+ years after it released, as well as the knowledge I have read in others posts as it is extremely helpful, you guys rock. Now to my question - I recently installed a rp2040 tiny using modzville's adapter board on a friends xbox and it works great! Now that PrometheOS is supported on the Modxo, I flashed it to my friends box and the led on the rp2040 tiny started working, and you could change the colors through the PrometheOS settings. Last night I finally got around to building another one and putting it into my personal xbox, it also works great but for some reason I cannot get the led on my 2040 to light up. Both tinys used are waveshare brand. My xbox is rev 1.0 and my friends is 1.1 (if this makes any difference as both boards look almost the same). I am not sure where the issue resides. Does anyone have any ideas for me to try? Thanks in advance!

Hi all, I'm relatively new to the original Xbox modding scene, and if you read my recent post in the welcome section you will be aware that I'm currently making up a batch of Jafar modchips. I know there are better chips with more features, but I wanted to start with something simple and work my way up to the more complex things if that makes sense. It's been going well and I've learned a lot but I'm curious about a small issue I've come across and wondered if anybody in the community has come across the same thing and created a work-around... I ordered 100 SST49LF080A chips from aliexpress (yes, I know, but I'm not made of money and 50p each vs £3 - £4 each from somewhere like digikey I figured it was worth the risk!). Anyway, out of these 100, 93 of them work absolutely fine. In Xgecu Pro, the device ID is shown to be BF 5B. These all flash perfectly and work perfectly in the Jafar modchips. 6 of the 7 that don't work, show a device ID of BF 5A instead. The 1 remaining chip shows a device ID of 3B 3B. The 6 "BF 5A" ones will flash absolutely fine in Xgecu Pro providing I untick the device id check first, and the contents of the flash chip are read back absolutely fine also (again, with device id check unticked). This leads me to believe that although the device ID is slightly different, the pin outs etc and the way the device operates must be the same, since I can both read and flash using the SST49LF080A@PLCC32 profile in Xgecu Pro. HOWEVER, when I put any of these in a Jafar and install in the Xbox, I get the 3 boot attempts and FRAG. This leads me to think that the Lattice CPLD code has been written to specifically target device IDs BF 5B and wont work with anything else even if the pinouts etc are the same. Am I wrong in making that assumption? So, since the VHDL coding for the Lattice CPLD has been released and is open source, I thought I may be able to inspect it, find the reference to BF 5B and possibly modify it to include BF 5A aswell. I clearly have a lot to learn because I cant find reference to that device ID anywhere. Furthermore, the ispLever classic software required to compile the CPLD code is no longer free, its something ridiculous like $600 per year and I don't have that kind of money. So I was wondering if anybody else who is familiar with building the Jafar modchips, had come across these chips branded as SST49LF080A but with the slightly different device ID's, and had managed to make an updated CPLD code that would allow them to work? For reference, I've been using the 1MB_LPCmod_OSSupport_MosfetD0 from https://github.com/Team-Resurgent/Aladdin-Lattice It's a shame Lattice have made the software so expensive because I would have liked to have learned how to make my own code etc and would love to learn how these modchips work, so that one day I may be able to make meaningful contributions to projects myself. As for the one chip identified as 3B 3B - it doesn't even read, flash or erase in Xgecu Pro using the SST49LF080A profile, so that one must be some completely different chip altogether, unless it's just corrupted somehow and that's causing a false ID to be read?. As I say, I don't really fully understand how these things work yet - but I'd like to learn, just not sure where to start!

Hi all , just wanted to find out by those in the know if these ram modules are compatible for the 128 mb upgrade . I’ve installed all four , failed on all four . Touched up all joints with soldering iron , got the three reboots and Xbox wouldn’t power on , reflowed with hot air station and Xbox goes back to booting as if there’s no extra ram attached . I then replaced one of the ram modules to see if blast would detect it and still nothing . I have no issues accessing Xbox dash or Cerbios flashed Aladdin booting XBMC4Gamers .

Soon I'm gonna try and repair the traces on my Xbox. I've done my fair share of soldering in the past, and I don't think it's gonna be too hard. The only question I have is about what I have to solder. It seems I need to solder 4 points, but do I really? The power button still sorta works, and the Red LED light still works as well. Could someone give me a nice tutorial? Thanks! EDIT: Hold up, I was just watching this Xbox Repair video, and they turned it on showing the power board. But when it turned on, two of the LED Lights showed up. and they were both Green. I though that one was red and one was green! So if that's the case, why the hell would the red work but not the green!?

A few. When my game gets finished I would like to sell it like a traditional game to get money for my work. Can I sell it here then? Also if possible I would like to make a set of discs that can run on retail Xboxes. Meerjel01

Any help on how I go about adding multi disc games for the PSX emulator while still having the menu only show the single game and artwork for it as a selection? Would I just name a single folder after the game and have the various ISO's inside it? Since the only way the art will attach is if the file is named the same as the artwork. I can't seem to find a decent guide for making this work.

My Xbox's power button is really weird. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it just doesn't. Not only that, but the green LED Light on it does not work (The Red does however). At first, I assumed it was the traces, but if the Red Light works, then it has to be the power board, right?

Anybody Here Use a Kernel Debugger With Their Debug Kits?
DobaMuffin posted a topic in Hardware Mods
Hello, I am looking at making a few of these for myself, and I'm wondering if anybody here has used one, or anything similar to it? I'm not familiar with kernel debugging using Super I/O, but it seems like something that could be useful if I want to learn all I can from the hardware of this system. DobaMuffin -

Hello, I have a modded original Xbox that has coin-ops 8 on it. I have a USB trackball and mouse that work perfectly for it on games like centipede and similar to that. I just recently bought a GRS USB spinner for it, but it doesn't recognize it. I've gone as deep in the settings as possible, but it still won't work. I've even sent the spinner back for a replacement thinking it must be a bad spinner, but it's still the same problem with the new one. But yet the cheap mouse I bought at Walmart for $8.00 works on the games perfectly. Does anyone know of a spinner out there that would work for my setup. I also saw a product called a Wingman XB that is supposed to let you use all sorts of modern PC and gaming controllers on the original Xbox. I can't find any info about it making any spinners work for it though. Can someone here help please? P.S. this GRS spinner is supposed to act like a USB mouse that just uses the horizontal axis.

Found an old xbox and a locked 1.5tb xbox drive stored away. The thing is I had a few xboxes back in the day and am not sure if the hard drive is from that xbox. I want to try it in the xbox. Before I do so if the drive is locked with an eeprom different from the xbox will it do any permanent damage? Just being cautious. Thanks in advance.

Question about the stellar hsplus and evox hdplus patch
herooftheday posted a topic in Hardware Mods
Hi I did mod one of my 1.0s with the stellar hhdplus and the stm works so far sadly "EvoX Titan 128MB HDPlus UDMA4 YD" does only really work if I press eject Cerbios has no problem with booting up, but only shows picture when the hdd has been read. Gruß Edit: I use a cheap U4 adapter. -
So two months ago I was really enjoying playing doom on my Xbox via Odamex and found out that it can also directly be run through the use of shortcuts. So I made some shortcuts for the wads that I wanted to play and put them in a folder. When I tried to add artwork (_resources) to it they don't show up at the hombrew screen but inside of the folder (also it doesn't show the name of the folder) : Now I don't think this is supported but I wanted to know if there's a way to pull it off. Xbmc probably requires a default.xbe inside the folder for it to not get recognized as "just a folder" and show the name and artwork. What I was thinking is that would be possible to make it read some dummy xbe and use that to recognize the folder's name and artwork? (But then launching the shortcuts might not be possible) Also for some reason it reads the _resources folder as an item and it's subdirectories as well. (If there's a way to make xbmc ignore/don't do this that would be great as well) : https://i.postimg.cc/7PM1FTMc/IMG-20231124-134650.jpg (Shortcuts works fine tho)

Has anyone in the history of the modern world ever gotten a USB spinner to work on their modded Xbox? I've looked everywhere on the internet and it looks like someone is going to land on Pluto before anyone gets a USB spinner to work on a modded Xbox.

Hello to everyone in this forum, i am a new user here but a nearly lifelong fan of the OG Xbox, it was my first experience with a games console and it will always hold a place in my heart for that, but after having a few systems throughout my childhood, i thought i should seriously look into getting a system, one that will be the best fit for my needs, i know theres several different revisions but i'm thinking what i want my console for is probably very niche compared to most other users. So i'd feel like asking for my needs which revision is personally the best fit for me? So to start, what i want to do with my console is obviously play the games but i also want to watch DVDs on it (Yeah i still like to watch DVDs, they're just the most convenient method for me) and i liked using the ripping CDs feature for putting my favorite songs in certain games, so i'd like to do that, basically... i'm just gonna want something that will reliably play discs. As for modding, i am not interested much in mods, i havent really ever done any mods before, i did purchase a soldering set so in the future i could do things like that for many systems but really i dont think i'd be comfortable with opening one up, although knowing the whole clock capacitor problem i might have to. So if i had to do any modifications to the console it would only really be simple stuff to enhance the vanilla XBOX experience, obviously the caps but perhaps if its possible maybe a slightly larger hard drive for lots of music and game saves, just really nothing special or crazy, but i'm open to suggestions on recommended mods and tricks for my relatively mundane wants for an XBOX from the research i've done (and are still working on) i think the V1.4 revision from what i hear is good, but i think its in my best interest to ask people who truly know the system, i am aware of things like the early thompson drives as well as the previously mentioned caps issue but i want to be able to know what the best option is for me. Thank you

Hello everyone. I’ve modded a few Xbox 360s and want to take on the task of modding an original Xbox. I see a really good priced xbox but it’s in PAL format. My question is if I mod it with a stellar chip and HDMI+ will the console output in 1080i? I know the PAL format doesn’t support it. I know if I mod the console it won’t be region locked so I’ll be able to play ntsc games on it. If play NTSC games on the PAL modded system with HDMI will it support 1080i? Thanks for the help.
