CrazyKoala Posted November 20, 2023 Report Share Posted November 20, 2023 (edited) Hi. So I have this 1.6rev Xbox hard modded with a chip Aladdin 64 v1. 6 I tried to flash Cerbios using the OGXbox flash disc. But I am getting errors. Tried with Xblast OS and EvoX OS.

It looks like the console was in a house fire and the chip was the only thing that lived. 3 hours ago, CrazyKoala said: Hi.

I have never seen that marking before on the flash. Fuckin WEIRD. Probably a counterfeit chip and those will not allow flashing, because the CPLD does not know how to address it. VERY common with Aladdins. You could boot with this, and then replace the flash with a REAL SST, plug the chip back in and then flash (basically hotswapping), or just buy a new chip and toss this thing in the fuckin' trash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just assumed that the chip was counterfeit and couldn't be flashed when I saw that... plus it's an old ass Aladdin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to those who pointed out the filesize error.. I mean I DID see that, but thought the filesize was due to some shite happening with the chip. I didn't realize the size was in reference to the bios.bin bytesize itself, as the wording "Cerbiod UDMA5 512kb" led me to believe it was in reference to the hard drive cluster size. Well some good outcome. I was able to flash the chip with EvoX , NOT with XBlast though. Now it boots in Cerbios and I need to find a way to install the dashboards 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you were referencing something that was specifying a filesize larger than 256k. 1 hour ago, CrazyKoala said: Thanks to those who pointed out the filesize error..

XBlast can usually handle anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
