Hey everyone, I purchased a original Xbox off eBay, it looks brand new, and hasn't been opened, all stickers intact. Only issue is when it powers on, red and green flashing led and a error code 12 on screen. Online suggests it's a DVD drive issue, bummer. It looks to be a Xbox 1.6 and has gotten very little use (if any at all, still has a brand new smell to it, spotless inside and out and not a spec of dust) is there anything I could try to fix the system? Could I try recapping the DVD drive board? I hate to buy another drive off eBay, as the only ones I found cost more than the system I got (including shipping), I have a mod chip on the way as well, if that might help Thanks in advance! ~John

So I TSOPed my Xbox and spent days building my setup, ripping games etc. I got a little too confident and tried to do a ram upgrade and trashed my motherboard. I’m planning to TSOP another Xbox and want to just stick this HDD in it so I can pick up where I left off before the fatal ram upgrade attempt. I’d like to think I had the foresight to keep the drive unlocked but I’m not sure if I did or not. Is there any guidance on how to best accomplish this?

Hi there! My name is Jake, I just joined the forums to hopefully gain knowledge but I've been playing the original xbox since it came out. I think I was 10 or so, and I remember opening up my xbox in middle school but I never did anything serious with it. Well in the past year or year and a half I've started collecting the systems, I bought about 10 OG xboxs for cheap off craigslist, facebook, and ebay and Ive got around 30 controllers. Mostly everything works but there's a lot that can be fixed up with soldering and I have never soldered before. I want to start by making a USB adapter out of a DVD receiver and try fixing some of the controller wires. I also picked up 3 huge CRT tvs for free off craigslist and I have a LAN setup ready in my house at all times. I want to eventually softmod and hardmod some of my systems but I've never done any of this before so I turned to the best place for free informantion - the internet. I really need to spend less time on facebook so I'm willing to dedicate myself to this forum.

Hello ladies and gents. I am new here but I have been in the console modding biz for quite a long time now. It just so happens doing the boat load of digging I do on a normal night of nothing, I might have stumbled on the biggest Xbox archive I've seen since ISO zone. I'll comment back if it's a false alarm or not since I have not extracted any ISO images from this site yet.

A couple of weeks ago I decided to do a removable LCD screen mod that plugs into the controller ports. I'm thinking of raffling this to help support the website. What are your thoughts?

Hello, found my original xbox 1.4 from back in highschool brought me back to the days when we had parties opening them up and modding them. Did some upgrades then I bought 3 more. Well I need the hexen disk and the site says I need to make 5 posts before I can download it to use on the xboxs unjust took apart and refurb. -
I know this group has a lot of new HDMI solutions recently, and has focused on the wii2hdmi mods. ( and I know there are more options coming in the near future) Here's a new option for you....I've recently finalized a completely new design (it's been in the works since christmas, but I'm pleased to announce that it is now completely functional) -supports component to HDMI conversion at all supported xbox video resolutions -Wolfson Audio IC to convert S/PDIF signal for the HDMI transmitter -Individually shielded video signals -Internal install will be an option There are two basic ways to take advantage of the digital audio 1)Direct decoding when passed through an HDMI receiver 2)Optical pass through from your TV to you receiver 3) it can also pass the stereo audio to play directly on your TV Sales are probably about a month out still, as I will be sending units out to a few trusted testers and get testing done with some of those problematic xbox systems that are around. https://imgur.com/a/QXP6lcM https://www.chimericsystems.com/product/hdmi-video-adapter

Hi all! I think I'm in the right place. First bought this awesome console back in May 2002 as a gift to myself for finishing college (4 years late but I finished!) Became a big video game fan on and off ever since. Having this in 02 made me buy a PS2 as a birthday gift that summer. I'm a Sony and MS game console guy. Just recently picked up my OG Xbox from ebay and now I watched some videos to take it apart. I got a 1.6 and wanted to check how its guts look. I want to post pics to get opinions or a diagnosis from you experst if I should go any further with taking it apart. It's playing fine and hooked up to my 1080p Vizio via HDMI. Hope to talk to some of you and get some direction where to post my pics. Thanks!

Hi all. I used to have a modded box like 10 years ago. Just recently picked up another one and am scrambling for faq's and how-to's to relearn. Been digging through the forums for a day now. Does anybody have a "for dummies" writeup to give me a refresher course on the different chips and options, and(more specifically) how to get things set up and working after the chip install as far as bios and dashboards etc?

Hi all, when moving house I found my old pride and joy modded xbox. Big hdd, xecuter 3 chip and lcd screen. I fired it up and after blowing of the cobwebs it still looks great.

Hey guys, I'm starting my first Xbox mod ever. I had owned the original but got rid of it years ago and haven't owned an XBox360 since 2011. I had found an XBox on Facebook for $50, turns out it's a 1.6, fully functioning, and after I bought that my brother in law found his XBox while he was moving so I have that as well, haven't taken that apart yet. I've taken the first one all apart and cleaned it all out. The thermal paste on the GPU is super tacky, I've not run into a thermal paste like that before, is that normal? I plan on installing an Aladdin XT4032 and putting in a SATA HDD. If there's any other "You should totally do this" or "instead of doing that do this" let me know, like I said this is my first time modding the XBox. Happy Thanksgiving!

hi i just softmodded my xbox and look for tips,must haveeither games emulator apps etc Thanks

Glad to see that there are still active modding communities. I was given an Xbox many years ago and finally decided to see what it's capable of. In the past couple days, I was able to find out what revision board I have, what points to solder to make the TSOP writable, common issues to look out for, and how to softmod with only an IDE cable and computer. I have never experienced an Xbox before this week, but it seems quite capable. I also made my own component cables with advice I found here. I'm very impressed with the community and the xbox. I have not been able to work for a couple months so this has given me something that i can do to occupy time. Please let me know if anyone has suggestions for other ways I can mod the console for cheap or free.

I have a 1.0 and a 1.6 version XBox, both of which were acquired for free. I have started to dip into modding them to do some emulation after watching an excellent video on the Rocky5 softmod from Modern Vintage Gamer. Gonna slap some bigger hard drives in them and have some fun!

Hello!, The original xbox is the one console I always wanted, but never got. When I had the flue, i decided it was time to buy one.. And have been happily playing Halo 2 for a few days now. Softmodded my xbox with a tutorial, and subscribed to check what's also possible Looks like a nice community!
