SS_Dave Posted August 1, 2023 Report Share Posted August 1, 2023 As it has a 20gb HDD I think it's already modded upload a pic of the mother board to here https://postimages.org/ and add the link here. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes people perform fan upgrades on non-1.0 consoles but not very often. 1.0 motherboards will have a legitimate GPU fan header. That and the single-row PSU hookup. Look at the HDD. are you SURE it's 20GB, or is that your impression of what size a stock drive is? Look at the label on the drive. How big is it?

Tartarus Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 (edited) The first thing to my knowledge is you need to validate which revision of board you have and make sure that you are aware of which one you have thoroughly. once you've located the TSOP you need to figure out who the manufacturer is That will set you in the direction you need to go from there Edited August 2, 2023 by Tartarus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetdarkdestiny Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 Slayer booting is fine. Boot Slayers and flash an EvoX bios to your TSOP. When thats done use something more modern OGXBox Installer or FatXplorer and set up your HDD. When thats done load the LATEST cerbios which is v2.3.1 beta. Use XBLastOS to flash it. When thats done you're ready to rock (and maybe roll ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the OP did not has removed / set up his HDD after the TSOP flash to get rid of the softmod files and now these files are causing the trouble. Would also be possible.

You should be choosing the UDMA 2 option for a stock HDD. If you chose anything higher, then you will experience problems as those are for Sata or SSD HDDs. Edit: I don’t see any mention that you connected the proper points on the mobo to perform the TSOP flash. You may have done so already, but it’s worth noting since it wasn’t mentioned.

RMM Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 (edited) Use UDMA2 256kb and flash with either XBlast OS v0.56. or EvolutionX. If you use Xblast or EvolutionX to flash your TSOP it will resize a smaller TSOP for you additional info: Do not use any other program to flash a smaller bios because it may not resize them and you can run into problems. Again use either Xblast or EvolutionX, nothing else. Edited August 3, 2023 by RMM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bios in the v1.0 and v1.1 Xboxs is 1024kb so that's correct. Everyone has a different way of doing it and has a preference. Xbox v1.0 and v1.1 have a TSOP size of 1024kb, Xbox v1.2 - v1.4 have a size of 256kb. There are mod chips with bank sizes of 256kb, 512kb and 1024kb. I just feel it is easier to have the one size of 256kb and letting Evox or Xblast resize it for you. That way you dont need to think, how large is the TSOP in this Xbox, how large is the other one, how large is this modchip bank and have a bunch of difference size bios files to worry about The only issue you may run in to is the UDMA mode being 4 but Cerbios has a safe mode that will lower it to UDMA 2 on restart if it detects an issue. Additionally you can start safe mode yourself by powering on with the eject button if you run in to issues.

If that drive s an IDE device then use UDMA2 as RMM suggested. Once you start using SATA drives you can start speeding up to UDMA 4-6, depending on your adapter and IDE cable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't have to be locked with a hacked BIOS. However, if locked, the hacked BIOS will unlock it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
