BroerWolf Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 This is my second mod and I cannot for the life of me understand why the mod isn't working. Perhaps another modder would be able to help me out? The Xbox already had a softmod and boots up in UnleashX After the mod, the boot animation is showing the EvoX logo. Updating the bios is no problem, installed updated EvoX M8 plus bios Trying to boot from a Hexen, OG xbox install disc or Slayer's disc is not working. OG xbox installer DOES work in the softmod Trying another hdd gives an error 13 (160gb and 250gb ide, and sata 500gb drive with green adapter) I tought the problem could be a problem with a solder joint or a short as a result of my soldering error. Went over them with multimeter, does not seem to be the case. I'm at a loss right now trying to figure out what the problem is.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 I helps a hep if you add some high quality pics of your work, upload the pics to a share site ( I use https://postimages.org/ ) and then post the links here Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

Dtomcat18 Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 Xbox’s can be particular about media. DVD-R vs DVD+R. And varies based on dvd drive. Make sure your media is compatible with your drive and burn at slowest speed available 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroerWolf Posted May 17 Author Report Share Posted May 17 (edited) Cheers! That did the trick. I burned my install discs om dvd+r. Got myself a spindel of dvd-r this afternoon and OG xbox installer worked like a charm! Also replaced the old 40 wire ide with a 80 wire ... should have done that anyway I guess tho. Just transfered 88 games on it, gonna do some more game testing. So far so good tho. Edit: Got the Xbox working now with the Aladdin mod chip, cerbios, green sata2ide board and a 500gb WD hdd running Xbmc4gamers.

Glad it all works for you now. That warms my heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroerWolf Posted May 18 Author Report Share Posted May 18 Yup a green sata2ide adaptor, was only 3 euro on the famous Chinese website and seems to work like a charm ... a litttle slow at times tho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean definitely glad it works for you, but it may cause issues down the line that could be a bit difficult to diagnose if they came outta nowhere. But I shouldn't assume you're a dummy, not that I necessarily do... Just want people to be well off in their modding adventures. I got the startech because I didn't want any malarky to happen ever. And I think it was only like, 20 bucks. Plus it took 2 days to show up, which is good because I have the patience of a kindergartener. Haha. How long does shipping take on that site? Like 5 weeks? I know it's long, due to the location... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's long, due to the location... I got the Startech one in my own Xbox, works really well I have to say with the 2tb drive. Was about 25 euro, local pc store carries them fortunately. I guess I wanted to see how bad the green ones are. Took about 2 or 3 weeks shipping I think, 3 euro included shipping. Also got an hdmi converter from the same Chinese website (not sure if I can say it and break any forum rules or smth?). I just love it looks on my tv can't stop playing Castlevania now lol.
