I love the original Xbox just like everyone else on this website and I'm always looking for something new to play on it. What are games that you love but don't get enough attention or have low ratings but you still love to play? I have every Xbox game ever released on my modded Xbox and I struggle to choose a game to play because there are just so many, please give me your suggestions. I'll start with mine not in order. Ghost recon advanced warfighter: This game has a different version for every console that it released on and the 360 version is my favorite but the original Xbox version is a lot different and also very good. Pariah: This is a good 1st person shooter that I never hear people talking about. Even though its not the best , its still worth playing if you are looking for a decent shooter on the Xbox Crime Life Gang Wars: I can understand why this game got bad reviews because its not very polished and its sort of clunky but I can't help but love this game even though there are better beat em ups like The Warriors. Flat-out 2: Even though there are better racing games on the Xbox, this game is kind of unique due to the physics and I feel like its been forgotten due to the later releases not being very good. Kingdom Under Fire heroes: This is one of my favorite OG xbox games of all time and deserves more love in my opinion but it is pretty tuff and is not for everyone unless you like rts games, but this one is unique compared to other rts games and is exclusive to xbox. Again this isn't meant to be a list of the best games just games that you love more than the average person who played them.

I think this is just a "replace the power supply" issue (DPSN-96DP), but I'd appreciate anyone's insight if they have advice: (Video of issue) https://imgur.com/INZWEUK Summary -- push power, no LED ring lights, X3 mod chip front indicator panel briefly lights up, then turns off. Eject button has same result. Case fan briefly twitches when power/eject is pressed. Continuously holding the power button 'on' keeps the lights on the X3 front panel lit, and the hard drive can be heard spinning up, but then nothing appears and it powers back off after release. Removed the motherboard, examined the traces to see if there was any rot -- looks really, really clean, nothing was visible after several minutes of inspecting. (Shot of a section of board) https://imgur.com/HIuVLGm CPU capacitors look a little sussy and puffed, I should replace, but nothing leaking onto the board. Clock capacitor looks good, too, but I think I should replace that as well. (CPU caps) https://imgur.com/NR7H58m (Clock cap) https://imgur.com/pFDgFPA Probably will get capacitors from Console5, I have enjoyed ordering from them before. Should I just replace the power supply? Is that what this issue looks like? https://imgur.com/FVbfgB6 (Delta power supply) Thanks anyone that feels like replying! This is my daily driver, I'd like to have it back!

Just tossing this question out there as I like aspects of some themes and would like to possibly create a new one. What is needed and is there any good tutorials where to begin?

Hi, Old school modder here getting back into the scene. I've recently broke out the old SID softmod and updated it to Rocky's and added a 2 TB drive to it. I have an Open Xenium on hand and I believe I will install that on the 1.6 I have running. Looking forward to dusting this hobby back off. Thanks, Screwingates

I have a 1.0 Xbox I got from Goodwill online. It smells like a smoker crawled inside it and died, and I ended up accidentally tearing off the alt d0 pad , but got someone to repair it. However, it still does not boot, as it FRAGs instead. Can't figure out what is wrong - tons of pictures attached below. Things I've tried: Known-good PSU Booting WITH modchip + grounded d0 Booting without modchip or grounded D0 Swapping capacitors with good capacitors from a 1.1 Swapping the TSOP for one from a 1.1 Cleaning the board with IPA (multiple times) If any closer pictures are needed of any part, tell me.

Hi everyone! I am absolutely thrilled that the original XBOX scene is still alive! I modded a bunch of XBOXs back in the day and I kept one of them. It's a nice crystal XBOX with an X3 (with a 1MB 3294 BIOS) and the nice LED control panel. I don't know why but back then I put a version 1.1 mobo in the crystal case. Back then a popular addition was a little fan underneath the HDD when you did an IDE HDD upgrade so it still has one of those still. (Nobody does that these days?) The other day I started it up and it was okay but it froze on a half a dozen or so games. At a closer glance, some of the file or folder names had some funky symbols so I thought to myself that I better replace the aging HDD. I'm so happy to see the new hardware available. I ordered a nice 80-wire cable and the SATA to IDE adapter and that arrived today. I didn't have a single DVD-R in the house so I couldn't do the HDD installation easily. Sure, hooking everything up was a charm. I did a quick cleaning of the interior of the case and removed the clock cap. Started it back up and I could only use the X3 BIOS to handle the HDD prep. I had to use the X3 BIOS to FTP the new dash. That was terrible but it worked in the end. Huge problem trying to get the partition correct. I recently flashed a bunch of different (and recommended) BIOSes and when I switched from one to another, it deleted what I had on the HDD and the partition size was different. All BIOSes that I selected, to my knowledge, supported LBA48. I used XBpartitioner 1.3 and also tried XBPTableWriter to write the table for those BIOSes that needed it. It looks good right now but I'm hesitant to change to a different bank to try a different BIOS. Anyways, in the near future, I'm doing that Noctua 80mm silent fan installation and I'll replace the thermal compound on the CPU and GPU. Glad to be here! Cheers!
