dtomcat Posted May 8, 2023 Report Share Posted May 8, 2023 So finally got around to making an xblast… I like it. Only made it for ram upgrades… but it’s nice and small and aesthetically pleasing! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paolo Posted May 15, 2023 Report Share Posted May 15, 2023 Hi, @Dtomcat18 have you procedure or guide to make one? How to program the chip...? Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtomcat Posted May 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2023 No. Just looked around. I used flashcatusb classic to program the fpga. And T48 to program flash chip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dtomcat Posted May 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 No worries I’ll probably list them on EBay for 45 and locally for 35. Only bought enough for 13 of em so not selling as many as OXs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(2) can you tell me the spacing of the pads?

dtomcat Posted June 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 Finally tested out jig… no go. Troubleshot for a bit.. decided to try new cpld…. Unsoldered original. … then had the idea to try a known good xblast… no go. Try deleting software and reinstall (flashcat). Worked great…. Resoldered the original cpld back on… programmed successfully. Jig officially works 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get what you pay for, friend. 35 bucks is totally reasonable. Especially with how much American currency has devalued. Let's raise that debt ceiling! Gotta fight for the working man or SOME shit! @Dtomcat18 what are the specs on this thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s like any other xblast as far as I know. 1mb flash (flashable by user if an update comes out). 1x512kb 2x256kb (1 256 slot is for OS). Uses patched OS to allow ram checker on 1.6 xbox Edited June 15, 2023 by Dtomcat18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna buy one for my other Halo Edition. Green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetdarkdestiny Posted June 15, 2023 Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 How about a v2 / micro version of the chip by putting the SST on the other side of the PCB? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
