Title is weird I know. Let me explain. Got an Xbox with faulty HDD. Installed OpenXenium chip (D0 on MB to D0 on chip) with PrometheOS 1.5.0. Installed 120GB SSD drive with a SATA/PATA adapter. Formatted HDD in PrometheOS. Copied evox dashboard and XBlast onto the console. Can boot into dashboard This is where I wanted to use XBlast to see if TSOP is writeable - but without writing to it. I know it doesn't matter with the stock BIOS. This is more a thing about trying random stuff for the fun of it. I get the "No valid Flash device Detected!!!" and I immediately thinks its because the modchip is active and hides it. Am I correct in that assumption? So my strategy now is to copy stock files over FTP from the TruHeXEn 2021 StockFiles/FactoryC and E, and pull off the modchip. This way the system should function EXACTLY like an unmodified XBox (only difference is the SATA SSD) Booting works just fine. I can even play games. So it IS in fact a stock XBox right now running a stock BIOS and the stock Dashboard (I assume. I didn't put it on the HeXen image) from a locked hard drive. Ok, so to read the TSOP info I need to be able to run XBlast. This requires a modded system. So I run the Endgame exploit from a USB drive. It goes all the way without problems. But when rebooting the final time, it just reboots to black. The flubber animation is there, but it's black afterwards. If I reconnect the modchip and check the contents of the hard drive it looks like the exploit has placed all the files it should. Am I trying something that is not supposed to work? The only things different from a completely stock system is: 1. The SATA SSD with adapter and 80 pin cable 2. The two solder bridges to enable TSOP writing 3. A wire soldered to D0 going to a disconnected modchip

I removed the arcade source button ages ago because I didn't need it at the time since I consolidated into just a simple Apps and Games source. How do I go about adding the Arcade source button again to place Coinops 8 inside of that? I tried adding source but it looks like it's just missing and I can't remember for the life of me what I did to even remove well over a year ago now. -
On to my next project. This is the 1.4 board that came from the 1.6 Halo console. It's why I transplanted. This is the shell that the 1.6 was in. I can not get it to boot with video. It'll even flash green and orange without the AV cable plugged in, but when it's plugged in? Nothing. One time. I got video output ONE TIME for no apparent reason. Got the green blubber and everything. Couldn't believe it. Next boot, nothing. Just a green light. I found a lot of bugs in this case for some reason and they may have caused a short... I'm hoping it was just in storage... And that I didn't fry it when I tested it the first time... I didn't know there were like, 147 bugs inside, man... Any idea where to start? Or should I just give up now? I did verify that it's not a corroded AV port. @SS_Dave @KaosEngineer

diagnol issues any better? -
Just to report, I have one of those cheap generic SATA to IDE adapters working with a 500GB SSD running smoothly. It's an XBOX Ver. 1.0 with a TSOP flash. It's running Cerbios 2.3.1 If anyone needs extra pics or info, let me know and I'll post them.

Hello, Im sorry if this has been posted before. I already have the complete library of Xbox og isos and it’s taking up a ton of space. I came across a modsville video where he showcases the repackinator tool, as well as the list of CCI approved games made by Dempsey_86. I’m just a little hesitant to do exactly as Modzville did because the video is a year old, so I’m wondering if methods have improved. Also, he seemed to be kind of new to the repackinator tool at the time so I’m wondering if the options he selected are the correct ones. I apologize for the redundant questions and I promise I have tried to look up everything Im asking. Which I have found bits and pieces of answers across multiple sources. I would just like a straightforward tried and tested “how to” if possible. So here are my questions and thank you for your time in answering if possible. Does CCI format work with PrometheOS with 1 to 1 results? -Im currently trying to install the rp2040 mod chip by modxo and modzville. What options must I select exactly to ensure I get 100% playability? Such as splitting isos, trimming, etc. Some games on the list are not working in CCI format so what options should I select or turn off for them? There are ISO’s on the list that must be installed as “HDD Ready” are the redumps I have, already in that format? Lastly, with so many ISO’s, the repackinator tool being able to process an entire folder at once is very efficient and time saving. Is everything possible through that tool? Thank you all again and I also apologize again for the newb-like questions. I just want to know how to get my library up and running… So, by all means post links and step by step lists if possible!

Hello, guys! I just have a quick inquiry regarding loading into a retail kernel for a modded Xbox separately from loading Cerbios. I assume it's flashed onto bios options somehow? I'm using an Open Xenium mod chip on all the systems work with; and I have a premade 1tb SSD I've been cloning my Team Resurgent dashboard, games, emulators, etc for quite a while now. I had a customer reach out who was wanting to use Insignia for live service and one of the steps requires loading into the retail kernel to log in to Xbox live again. I personally never use the retail kernel with my mods anyhow so I don't know hot to make the system able to load into the retail kernel. Any help would be greatly appreciated, or possibly a way to circumvent needing to use the retail kernel for Insignia maybe?

I bought an Xbox from an excellent technician — a PAL Xbox with a hardmod, Cerbios BIOS, XBMC, SATA adapter, and a 500GB HDD. I uploaded 4 games via FTP. Two of them work perfectly, while two result in a black screen. All these files run perfectly on another Xbox with an EvoX BIOS from the same technician and an IDE hard drive. The problematic games are Thief: Deadly Shadows (2.5 GB) and Curse: The Eye of Isis (500 MB). They appear in the regular XBMC menu and in dvd2xbox. These are PAL versions, and I’ve tried launching them in PAL, PAL-60, and NTSC modes — always a black screen. I’ve re-uploaded the games several times, re-extracted the files, ensured the file names are short and without special characters, and FileZilla confirms that everything is successfully transferred. The games are placed in the F folder alongside other games preinstalled on the Xbox. I’ve also tried changing the UDMA speed — nothing works. What could be causing this issue, and what can I do to resolve it? Thank you!

I keep reading that it's mandatory to switch to an 80-wire cable with these adapters, because otherwise the Xbox IDE controller would negotiate a higher UDMA mode with the adapter and this would fail at boot. But at the same time, the usual word seems to be that the stock Xbox BIOS is limited to UDMA2 and you need things like Cerbios to be able to use higher UDMA modes. Given that they shipped the console with a 40-wire cable, it would make sense to cap at UDMA2. UDMA2 can of course run on 40-wire cables, so those two statements would appear mutually exclusive, which nobody really seems to notice. The only way I could make sense of that is if the adapters were only ever tested with 80-wire cables or if they would fail to negotiate down to UDMA-2, if being on a 40-wire cable. I've looked up the Marvell 88SA8052 spec sheet and while it's not exactly detailed, it's saying that besides UDMA "up to 150 MB/s", it's supporting PIO as well, and that certainly does not need a 80-wire cable. That would suggest that in theory, the chip should be able to negotiate UDMA-2 and work with the stock cable just fine. Did anyone ever get the Startech adapter to work with the 40-wire cable? -
I recently bought a few 1.0 consoles with "no power" issues, 2 of them have this same 47K resistor marked R902 (measured from a good psu) and surrounding area burned, both resistors are basically ash. I have a couple of questions, is this a common issue with this model psu, is replacing these burnt components likely to save these things, or is the issue probably caused by something else that sent too much power through the resistor, such as the large transistor in front of it? Here's a pic of what it's supposed to look like:

hi yall, so i have a v1.1 that will boot into my open xenium menu no issue and xblast with my 128 ram upgrade and xblast shows all chips successful. but will not boot any other bios. I removed ram chip 3 and now boots into all bioses i throw at it. I tried 4 other ram chips that i know work and still wont boot into anything other than my ox menu and xblast. I went over mb with a fine tooth comb no tace damage, i have replaced every capacitor on the motherboard and still wil not boot a bios other than xblast with chip 3 soldered on but still shows successful in xblast ram test. any ideas?
-
The title basicly already say's it all. I wonder if it would be possible to piggy back a second TSOP to the one of the MB (Except for Vcc and Enable). Then lift the Vcc pins (TSOP 1 & 2) and Enable pins (TSOP 1 &2) which then goes to the switch. Highly professional made schematics : https://imgur.com/a/WguB3ZR I have googled it but how it seems no ever had that stupid idea. Or at least I didn't found anything.

i bought this xbox v1.6. it has a problem of turning on for few minutes than turns off, after that it keeps turning on for 2 seconds and than off. i opened up the xbox and immediately saw that the power supply was already worked on and whoever did it, did a very ugly job. the power supply is Delta DPSN-96DP. As seen in picture 1 the big capacitor was changed to 400v solder with wires just lying there, the glue was supposed to hold it but it was only stuck on the capacitor and not on the metal and plastic. the below 2 green caps were changed to with higher voltage. both the big and green caps were old used caps. i changed few caps. in picture 2 the caps marked green are what i changed with new and correct caps. the resistor marked red were changed or something else because their underside show sign of different solder than the original ones on board. are these resistors right? in picture 3 the glue on left looks cut off, is there supposed to be different component here or the one here is right? in picture 4 the area circled red, are these capacitors or resistor? they were either changed or lifted than put back with ugly fat soldering. anyway are these right? lastly the mainboard picture these 5 capacitor under cpu/gpu value is 3300uf 16v while online search says its 3300uf 6.3v, are they replaced too? my problem is xbox turning off after few minutes. i tested 500gb desktop hdd, 1tb laptop hdd and without hdd. 500gb desktop hdd turns on for few minutes than off by itself, after that it turns on for 2 seconds and off. have to give it rest for hours to turn it on again for few minutes and than turns off by itself again. 1tb laptop hdd takes very few tries and most of time with first try it turns on and off by itself but stays on for more minutes the 500gb desktop hdd. without hdd always turns on first try and stays on for 10-20 minutes and off by itself. So its just power supply or the main board caps problem too.

My HDD on my main xbox is an old IDE from 2004 so I decided it was time for an upgrade to modern SATA WD Drive. Only problem is that it now doesn't fit in my case, despite it being large, due to the NES microcontrollers. I'm pretty sure that if I use this adaptor that I can get everything to fit in the case as I'm no longer extending the length of the HDD with my usual goto adaptor. I've tried googling around but everything I see mentions doing some sort of TSOP flash. Is there a way to skip the DVD check without doing a TSOP flash?

This is my last post and I will consider replacing the hard drive, but will a bad hard drive cause the game disc to not load properly at all? The only issue I be having is that when I start project Gotham racing two it won’t let me skip, but once it gets to the second part of the intro it’ll freeze until I restart the console and then start the game up again and then it’ll let me skip The in game radio and stuff will also cut out So I just wanna know y’all opinion that well a bad heart drive cause that’s even though I have the original game disc -
Hey guys. I’m making another console for someone that wants all emulators and Roms. I don’t much with Emustation and Roms these days so I’m obviously a little out of the loop. The scanner recognized the games however, they are an absolute mess in the games list and unfortunately don’t even work. I’ve tried putting all files into one folder named after the .cue file, but that just reboots Emustation as well. How in the world do you get this game list organized and rid the list of many multiple files?

Hello I recently got an OG Xbox kind of cheap together with some demos and 2 controllers. I tested it and it worked all good for the demos at least, when I put games in it didnt recognize them at all because they were copies something that I didnt really check when I did buy them because they were in DVD boxes with printed labels and all that. After some searching I found that the console was modded because it was showing Xecuter 2 on startup, I didnt know about that because never had an Xbox before so I thought that was normal startup screen lol. So after playing a bit with the settings I gone to flash bios which made sense for me after flashing the first option which I dont remember the name now It started playing one of the copy games but it was stuttering a lot after a while. After another restart I gone to flash the second option and then it stuck without flashing or doing anything for like 20 minutes after which I turned the console off. Now after I turn it on it makes 2-3 attempts to turn on and then starts flashing red-green light constantly, the DVD drives responds and opens up when I push the button for the tray but other from that I have nothing on screen and it doesnt boot up into any menu from what I understand. What are my options from there ? Can I somehow make a new install of the firmware or flash some new bios to it or maybe is the mod messing up ? Any help will be much appreciated as this is my first Xbox console and my knowledge of it is extremely lacking.

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.

How to fix the 4 screens bug when patching to 720p in OGXHD -
Solution - It turns out that neither XBMC4Xbox 3.5.3 or Dashloader Customiser like being run from F. I moved both to E to test and both run perfectly. Anyone else noticed this behaviour before? I have an issue where a couple of apps don't display properly on screen.... The Apps in question are Dashloader Customiser and XBMC4Xbox, see pics below.... As you can see the controller image is missing on Dashloader Customiser as well as the cursor and XBMC is just not displaying the skin properly. As such, both apps are not easy to navigate lol Anbody have any ideas? I have tried redownloading the apps and copying fresh files to the console but the same thing happens. The exact same files work perfectly in another Xbox so I'm stumped. -
Hi all, I am a member of the forum for many years, almost never post but I learned a great deal of things in here. Now to my issue. I have an v1.2 green transparent Xbox that was running fine after I removed the clock capacitor and replaced 3 capacitors on the right front, under the HDD. At some point I installed an Aladdin xt2 (AliExpress version) with CERBIOS v2.0.2R, a WD red 3Tb HDD, and a generic IDE to SATA adapter - Some pictures from 2 years ago can be found here. I only use this Xbox once in a while as it is not my main gaming Xbox console, so it mostly lives in a display without video and power cables. Last week I tried to power it up and I got a FRAG (3 tries to power on and then green-red light). Opening it I could see 3 capacitors that had leaked on top (2 seen below), so I replaced them - the ones marked with red circles --> After that I have the following cases and symptoms: 1. If I remove D0 from ground, it will boot up to an error (I think error number 6 if i remember correctly) which is ok as the HDD in there is no the original one - This is fine 2. With DO grounded and ANY Aladdin XT2 chip I tried I get again a FRAG (3 failed tries and green-red light) and black screen. I have 3 working Aladdins with 3 different custom BIOSes for testing (one with Cerbios 2.0.2R the one that was originally there, one with ind-bios 5003 and one Evox M8plus). All Aladdins have LEDs, and they seem to power up These are my chips: 3. With DO grounded, no HDD, no DVD and the modXO rp2040 zero that I recently created myself (running Cerbios V2.4.2 Beta), it immediately goes to this custom error and flashed red-green (like in 2 seconds), which I don't know if is normal 4. With DO grounded, HDD connected , DVD connected and the modXO rp2040 zero it boots right up, as nothing has happened I checked my soldering, the pin header for the chip seems solid, I removed the DO cable and soldered it again - nothing I tried starting the Xbox with ModXO, went into a Hexen DVD that I have and loaded GenTools. Then I removed the ModXo chip and hot-swapped CERBIOS Aladdin, trying to flash it with the latest CERBIOS but it isn't even detected there I have never seen this before and I had modded and fixed a lot of Xbox in the last 3-4 years. This was the first FRAG I encountered and somehow "fixed" but I want to continue using the Aladdin XT chip for this Xbox. What can be the difference that allows ModXO to start up? Why aren't the Aladdins get detected at all? Is it correct that the ModXO (CERBIOS 2.4.2) throws this error? I thought it would at least show the CERBIOS logo and then go to an error but maybe I am wrong Any help is appreciated!! Thanks

I have a v1.0 board that is TSOP flashed with Cerbios 2.4.1. My UDMA is set to 5 in the cerbios.ini file and I am using a Startech, an 80 wire, and a Seagate Baracuda HDD 2TB from this year. I run this in a cool below room temp room. I have 60mm noctua fan mod running on 100 percent. The temps are around 55C. I have sent this console in to a professional and reputable repair service. I had a full recap done and a PSU swap with a recap also done on the PSU and various testing. I’ve sent this console in two times. But it always seems that when I get this thing back it will run awesome for about 2 days with a couple of hours played. And then eventually I will be playing a game and then I will hit the dashboard shortcut and it will fail to load the dash. And and that point I know its cooked. And lo an behold when that happens it frags when I power it off and on from that point. And if I leave it off for a bit and try again, boom no frag and it boots up and plays well until the next time it “overloads” enough to frag again. Every time I send it in they cannot replicate this frag I am having probably because it takes quite a few hours of play time to get it to frag. They ran microsoft’s internal memory test and there are no issues with the memory modules. The only thing that they mentioned was the HDD was getting pretty hot possibly due to my fans being set at the default speed which isn’t enough with a 60mm fan. Since then have set my fans to the max. The disc drive is good. The caps are good. The PSU is good. The memory is good. The temps are good (at least the the numbers shown in XMBC4gamers dash). What does this leave me with? There is something having to do with using it for an extended period. EDIT: oh and forgot to mention I also have force 480p enabled in the cerbios.ini and 480p mode enabled on the main MSDash(my main dash is UIX lite) and I use an electron shepard xbox2hdmi adpater hooked up to an LG CX in case it matters

Hey all, tl;dr Started to recap my 1.4, testing as I went. Board eventually started to 3 boot frag, cannot get it to recover. Did I break it beyond repair? So, I replaced the power supply that I accidentally blew up and all was good. Since I noticed that the caps by the CPU were bulging, I figured I might as well replace them before going any further so I ordered a full board cap kit from Console5. I've recapped other devices before, but I guess I must have been lucky because this gave me problems immediately. The multi-layer board and large ground planes made it extremely difficult to get caps out and clear the vias of left over solder. I don't have a hot air station or board pre-heater or anything like that which I'm sure would have made things much easier (one bedroom apartment with two people and a cat, space is at a premium). Since I was afraid I was doing damage to pads/internal board layers getting caps and solder out, I made sure to test the system after replacing every few caps. I decided not to do the whole board since I was having difficulty, and would stop after these last few. Well, after replacing those last few the system no longer boots. Here's what I'm getting: The first few times I tried booting, I got the 3 boots and FRAG. I reflowed some solder on questionable joints and got a solid green light, but no AV (seems to indicate inability to load a BIOS). Unplugged my modchip, but same issue. While not impossible, it seemed unlikely that both the onboard BIOS (this board was previously TSOPed) and the modchip BIOS would be corrupted so I felt I must have done too much board damage somewhere and maybe destroyed an internal trace or something. After going back and forth checking all the caps I replaced and even trying to solder from the top side to ensure a through-and-through connection (please, forgive me), I wound up at: 3 boot FRAG when modchip installed, but solid green no AV with modchip uninstalled. This led me to think that maybe there was an issue with the LPC though I hadn't touched that area since I originally installed the pin header 4 years ago. I reflowed those joints and moved the D0 wire from the Aladdin chip to a ground/screw hole on the board. Continuity between LPC pins and their respective traces check out fine on my multi meter. Now I get 3 boot frag with or without the modchip plugged in. Anyone have any advice or see anything in the pictures that I don't? Any help is appreciated. Pictures: https://imgur.com/a/WEKo0vb The caps circled in blue at the ones I replaced and was able to still boot after. The ones in red are the last ones I replaced, no booting since replacing them. All other caps are original.
