I've been trying to install an RPP2040 using the MODXO schematic on a 1.4 board for a few days without success. I followed the original connection diagram from Team Resurgent, the instructions on how to program the RP2040 with Cerbios first, but the console simply tries to boot 3 times and nothing happens, just the red and green lights flashing. I changed the RP2040, followed the procedure to use PrometheOS 1.5 and the same thing happens. If I completely remove the RP2040, the console boots normally (the original HD is working perfectly, the drive no longer reads). Where can I find a guide as descriptive as possible specific to this revision of the XBOX 1.4? I have tried several options in the process (changing the rp2040 board, changing the USB cable, changing the PC's USB port used, previous versions of each BIOS, changing the wires used in the installation, etc...) with no practical effect so far. I welcome any advice!

Hi. I've replaced the laser and assembly motor for my TGM600 DVD drive. At first the drive wouldn't eject, but I washed the belt with dish soap and water, and it ejected. I was able to get the drive to read a disk the first time, but I haven't been able to get it to read since. Sometimes the drive will try and open but stops before it comes out. I purchased a replacement belt from Amazon, but they were a bit too small, so I put the old one back on after cleaning it again. Any ideas what I should look I to next?

I'm really in a bind here. All my xboxes are faulty in one way or another. They're going to be hard modded, HDD upgraded, and recapped, but I want a working disk drive and I've already sunk a lot of time into this. I have a GDR-8163B, the computer BIOS recognizes it. I have a USB drive flashed (Rufus) with FreeDOS. And I have the Fixed Firmware (8050L), but when I try to flash it, I get the error "no CD/DVD Drive". I am at a loss of what to do to make this work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all, I was given this power supply and I can´t find much information online about it. I need to know more before I connect it to the power outlet because i don´t want to break it! I did saw some topics and pictures on the forum from people in the UK who had the same "TUSCANY" Branded PSU. so if UK is 230v then i wanted to know if mine is also 230v I want to know the following: 1) is the TUSCANY POWER SUPPLY only found in Europe with 230volts or there is a TUSCANY version for USA 110v? 2) is the TUSCANY POWER SUPPLY dual voltage? 110v and 230v ? 2) my power supply (pictures below) ... I have no clue if it is 110v or 230v, does anyone know? 3) if my power supply is a UK power supply for 1.6 revision of OGXbox motherboard,can it work also on a USA 1.6 motherboard? 4) my power supply (pictures below) at first looked like untouched, but after looking at some pictures online I have he feeling that 3 capacitors were replaced. because from the pictures i saw, from factory, they place a red dot on top of the capacitor, but mine has no dots( I have marked the 3 caps in circles, i believe were replaced and provided what they used as replacement, does anyone know the UF and voltage of the original caps?)

Hi,Im building a Rework station with arduino mega2560 + ramps 1.4 using marlin firmware. I have a problem, i want to use PS3 Controller to control stepper motors and i don't find anywhere how to use PS3 controller with marlin firmware, i only found about lcd + encoder, but i really want to try PS3 controller to control the x,y-axis. Does anyone have experience with this? -
Got in a 1.0 Xbox today with error 16 on the harddrive so need to manually unlock and get the data off that way. (XCAT reasons) I've always had a hard time doing the unlock on FatXplorer but this time it just doesn't work right at all. I input the key and it unlocks but then gives me this message. No combination of removing passwords or unplugging anything lets me into the HDD. I'm using a USB 2.0 IDE HDD reader and powering the HDD with the Xbox. I have gotten it to work with this exact setup before on other Xboxs.

I just got hold of an Xbox with a RAM upgrade. Opening the machine reveals traces of a modchip. The LPC pin header is installed and theD0 has solder leftovers from what I can only guess is a wire to ground. But as there is no modchip so the TSOP must have been flashed. The R7D1, R7D2 and R7D10 pads are also shorted. Booting the box shows what appears to be the stock flubber animation. It stutters a little and just before ending shows Xecutor2 with white letters at the bottom. Booting with no HDD gives this error message overview: What am I looking at here? -
Hello, I'm contacting you because I'm stuck: I've recovered an xbox in poor condition but I'm gradually bringing it back to life. It's an Xbox 1.1 PAL, which now boots on the MS dasboard! The hard disk is almost dead, the dvd player seems ok (certainly dead belt) I also think the power button is dead (in any case it doesn't work) Once on the dash I can access my USB key and launch the Rocky5 softmod, I get the green orb, reboot with multiple light, then black screen with red circle. I can launch endgame, which launches just fine. My need is to recover the EEPROM to change the hard disk and hope for a second life for this xbox! Thanks for your help

I've heard online that it is possible to use a raspberry pi as a sort of bridge that takes the WiFi and then shoots a signal out of the Ethernet into the Xbox. I've tried a couple guides but none of them have worked. Does anyone here have any experience with this? If you do I would really appreciate the help. Thank you!

Hi everyone, I am new here and fairly new to console repair and modding and trying to get in some practice. I recently picked up an OG Xbox with a bad DVD drive. I also bought a different drive to attempt to repair. The drive that came in the Xbox is a Samsung. It is the model without adjustable pots and the laser seems to be dead since it just will not read discs. It does not give any errors, opens and closes fine, disc spins, but it never reads. I am fairly certain the laser has failed and it's not worth saving(though if I'm wrong, please tell me). The other drive, I think might be salvageable. When it is hooked up, I get an error message on the screen telling me to contact Microsoft for repair. The drive does open when the system is turned on and it turns on when it is plugged in with the drive attached. The thing that caught my attention is, whenever I press the eject button, it causes the system to shut off. There is no noise or anything, it just turns off and I can turn it back on right away. This does not happen with the other drive, so I suspect it is the drive and not the eject button itself. I do plan to recap the board this weekend, but wondering what else I should check? Any advice is welcome and thanks for reading. I look forward to getting more involved with this community in the future as I gain more experience.

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!

Hi all, I’m new to the Xbox scene and Xbox modding, (I’m older) and was around before anyone had a mobile /smart phone or tv. I chipped ps1’s and ps2’s when they were originally released for my kids. I require clarification on the following Xbox identification and mod chip advice. one of my sons has given me an old unused Xbox one, (with external power supply) to clarify is this classed as an og Xbox? And secondly I would like to upgrade the hdd in the Xbox and hard wire a mod chip that self boots when the Xbox is switched on. can anyone help me with chip recommendations or advise how I can contact a uk seller? also if I go online with a chipped console will Microsoft ban my account ? im asking in a round about way can all chips be spotted by Microsoft? thanks in advance cozzie

I have tried two things, cleaning the laser and lowering the resistance on the laser's potentiometer. I have heard online that it could be issues with failing capacitors. I am confused on where these capacitors are and how to test them if this is the problem. If it's not then does anyone have any insight as to what it could be? When I insert a disc it will very loudly spin up for maybe a second then go completely quite, shortly after it will spin up again (less loud this time) and after maybe 5 seconds stop and the typical disc error appears. Thanks for any responses .

Hello everyone! This is my first post, so apologies if it’s formatted incorrectly. I’m currently having a tough time trying to diagnose what could be causing my Xbox to output a wobbly video signal as seen here. I’ve tried -swapping power supplies -replacing the 5 caps near the cpu -giving the board and console a deep clean I’m thinking maybe it’s a grounding issue? Or perhaps the video encoding chip is about to die? Honestly I’m at a loss. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you guys. -
Hello everyone, I recently received a classic Xbox that was modded with a 1.4GHz CPU. I'm having the classics troubles with the games running incorrectly or experiencing stability issues. Patch em it's an option, but... it's some hard work... After some research, it seems that underclocking the CPU attempt to 733MHz might solve these compatibility issues with the original games. I read that the "Xbox Overclock" tool can help with this adjustment, and I understand that I also need to patch the BIOS to make it work properly. However, I’m not familiar with this tool and don’t know how to use it safely (Im noob), plus... I'm not speak english... I’d really appreciate any guidance from anyone who has experience with this process, in depth: Recommended values: What specific settings should I use in the tool to achieve a stable underclock? What steps should I follow to safely apply the BIOS patch and ensure the console runs at the correct frequency? Any advice or detailed guidance would be an incredibly helpful guys, I appreciate your time and support in advance!

So I have finally gotten a grasp of everything but the N64 emulator. I downloaded EWJ ROM pack, copied over the surreal64 folder into the emulators/n64 folder, copied some ROMs over in the roms/n64 folder. It scans and actually shows my files scanned but always comes up with a script error saying it cannot make a list. What am I doing wrong exactly? I've read how frustrated rocky5 is over people asking about this same issue but I followed his instructions as he laid them out on a Reddit thread. I'm stumped. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I've used the cerbios ogxbox installer and loaded emulator disks after ftping to xbox as have no dvd drive. I have dropped my top 100 snes, megadrive and pc enigine roms into the specific rom folders , they scan and play fine. I am struggling to get any neo geo emulator working as won't discover roms or thinks emulator is not installed. I have some reading and think i need to use final burn, and may need a dat file with roms specifically named in it. Had anyone got this all set up and can share the files and where need to dump them etc. As long as have a but of metal slug and andros dunos. I have full rom set just struggling to get it all working. Any help would be 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. I been trying to configure the dash. X2 seems to only boot to the dash when it's on the root of c. Anytime I try to put the dash in a for (for example c:dash\default.xbe) it does not work. On top of that, default.xbe isn't working. It only works when I rename it to unleashx.xbe. It is my understanding the path should be written as e:dash\default.xbe but it won't work. Is there limitations I'm not aware off? basically the only thing that works is c:unleashx.xbe

I've recently bought a used Xbox, only to find it doesn't turn on. Plugging it in with a known good power cable, neither the power nor the DVD drive button have the console showing so much as a single sign of life. No noise, no lights, nothing. As I was planning to mod it (and replace the capacitors) anyway, I opened it up to try and diagnose the problem. So far, however, I've come up short a definite culprit. Initially I suspected the clock capacitor, but it seems to be fine to my (amateur) eye. There are some other capacitors that look problematic, but I don't quite see why they should prevent the console powering on. There's also some goop I cannot identify on the power supply. Some people I showed it to said it could be epoxy or some other insulating material that got spilled. I've come here to ask for opinions from people who are experienced with the console. Is replacing the bad capacitors and clock capacitor likely to bring this thing back? Is the goop a problem in any way? Is my console beyond saving? I've added some pictures of the guts below to hopefully help anyone who's helpful enough to put up with my questions. Overview: Closer view of the main board (mostly to show this really is a 1.6): Clock capacitor: Unidentified goop: Bulging capacitors: To close, I'd like to ask you to be patient with me. This is my first hardware project, so I'm gonna do this wrong in all sorts of ways, no doubt. I'm also happy to provide more info as requested (and as I am able to gather it).

The more I check my Xboxes the more I find. Today I popped another open, it's been working perfectly but had some caps gone, different ones to I have been finding though, they're the more solid type caps. The guy I had do my modchips two decades ago seemed to like sticking on heat sinks, maybe to make his work seem premium, unusual place to bother putting one though I think. Anyway, here are the caps that I believe are popped. I'm not even sure what that mod chip is, I was able to put Cerbios 2.42 on it with XblastOS no problems. The board looked nasty around the two caps so I've cleaned that all up with a spray can of electroncis PCB cleaner. Here's the full board, they're the only bad looking caps, the clock caps been removed at some point thankfully. This is a zoom in after the clean up, it came up pretty good I think. Now what caps can I buy to fix those two? Hopefully I can source some locally somewhere to speed up the process. I have these in my Xbox parts collection, will these do the trick? I can't read much on the others but do see they're 6.3v. Thanks in advance for the caps advice and identifying the mod chip. I just noticed it has a Foxlink PSU so I popped it out for a look and found this What is this brown stuff? Scorch marks on the bottom of the case Otherwise it looks OK
