The small collection... or is it?

[CryogeniumFocus]

Well... figured I'd show my "collection".

First post will be my current 5 OG Xboxes, in order.

From left to right:

V1.1, X2 Lite w/ Cerbios 2.3.2 UDMA5, 160GB WD1600AAJB

V1.6, X-Changer 2.2 w/ Cerbios 2.3.2 UDMA5, 200GB Maxtor 6B200R0

V1.4, genuine Aladdin XT Plus2 (Chip ID BF52) w/ Cerbios 2.3.2 UDMA5, 160GB Samsung SP1654N, recapped

V1.6, ModXo on Raspberry Pi Pico USB-C w/ Cerbios 2.3.2 UDMA5, 1TB WD Caviar Green.

V1.4 Crystal, ST TSOP w/ iND-BIOS 5004.67, 250GB WD Blue

BONUS: Zephyr Elite 360 w/ 320GB Samsung HDD, Aurora dash and EXT_CLK over Coolrunner rev C1.

 

- all running XBMC

- Aladdin 1.4 and Pico 1.6 have had their cases painted - 1.4 is white/blue, and 1.6 is white/green.

- 1.4 now sports Panasonic all over it, except PSU which has original caps.

- 1.6 awaits a Startech adapter - I have a "narrow type" JM20330 adapter there for the time being.

- all use a single selfmade HD Component pack, from a Xbox 360 cable, of course

- the Crystal was an interesting story of going thru a gypsy ghetto to purchase it

 

Up next might be 360s. I have a lot of those to go thru so be sittin' tight!

Told y'all I'd be back with them 360s.

Topleft: JTAG Xenon CIB, MFR date 13/12/06 - Blades 2.0.6717 dash!

Topright: Zephyr_C, mfr date 17/09/07 - NXE 2.0.8955 dash

Bottom left: EXT_CLK Zephyr_C, MFR date 12/10/07

Bottom right: stock Arcade Falcon, MFR date 16/06/08, Kinect dash (forgot the number but it's 13 something.)

In order, starting from the Mtn. Dew bottle:

1. JTAG Falcon, MFR date 30/10/07 - used to have Blades, but upgraded to 17559 after disabling the fuse burning circuit

2. stock Falcon, MFR date 20/08/07 - has Zephyr ratings as Falcons of that time didn't have proper stickers printed until 2008 or so. Has the original X810480 Rhea GPU, surprisingly not failed.

3. RGH1.2v2 Falcon w/ custom DVD trim, custom HDD painted, MFR date 22/07/08 (NAND extracted) - Xenon top case with Elite Falcon stickers pasted on, from a defunct unit (MFR date 18/03/08)

4. stock NXE Xenon, MFR 17/09/06 - literally one year apart between this Xenon and the white stock Zephyr mentioned earlier

You should try doing the RGH 3 exploit on one of your 360s!

[CryogeniumFocus]

I do have three of those. Two Trinity slims (a matte black 16MB one and a glossy 4GB one) and a late Tonasket Arcade Jasper. The latter does need some case work tho.

And another unit joins the OG crew - 1.6, Hitachi Drive, originally had ST310014ACE currently runs a 160GB WD Caviar SE WD1600AABB.

 

Already been cleaned a few weeks ago:

XCAT has been run on it already. Original HDD is now unlocked and I will also do a PC local backup w/ FATXplorer. Chipped with Modxo+Cerbios 2.3.2 UDMA5 over a USB-C Pico (this would be the new age cheapmod lol). Might upgrade it to a 1TB Barracuda once I can get hold of a M03C SATA adapter to experiment with. Hopefully a translucent green case shows up as well, since I'd want to transfer this 1.6 into one.

I do love a nice 1.6

 

I got a new one joining the family also. I also plan on chipping with a rp2040. I'm just waiting for Promo to be able to be flashed on it. The pinout may change on the adapter board for the 2040. I don't want to build one until it's finalized.

I had a 1.0 board as well though unusable since I had long lost the USB daughterboard unfortunately. Ah well.

I hope I can source a green shell (heck, it can be a broken mobo inside for all I care, the green shell is the one I'd want ) and update the 1.6 with a M03C chinesium SATA adapter (I love me a DIY solution and the M03C seems right up my alley) as well as a 1TB drive - either a 7200.12 Barracuda or an Apple pulled WD Black WD1003FALS. Shipping to Romania might be a bit of a problem tho, but I hope I can work out something soon.

btw what adapter board? The ones I've done on my two 1.6s that run ModXo, I just slapped the USB-C Pico w/ some double-sided tape and soldered away wires at it lol. I have a really long (3 meters long) Swissten USB-C cable that I use for these.

Below is the one inside the latest 1.6 I posted:

Wow, I don't think I've seen one done like that besides @ModzvilleUSA's PCB that acommodates a tinier version of the Pico. That looks like a Xecuter chip though, going by the  "5v-v1.6 only" text.

Which brings me to a slight update on my 1.1's board - 3300uF caps in place of the 1500s and redid my trace repair w/ Kynar wire. I know, the wiring on the back looks a bit jank, but since it's the underside of the board, not really much to be seen.

it is an xecuter lol. you're not wrong! I'm not doing a pico install until it's developed a little more.

[CryogeniumFocus]

As it is right now, I don't see Pico being much useful outside 1.6s at the moment. Most of these older units can run off the TSOP, unless you experiment w/ BIOSes, where a modchip like Modxo is welcome.

Another mod success. Remember the 1.1 posted above? It's got 128MB now. Even XBlast approved of it (would've posted the pic but 4MB limit.)

if you can't TSOP, the Modxo is super welcome, I literally knocked one up using junk from previous projects in my garage using perf board and it fired right up on my 1.6. The problem I have had with previous systems is availability and price, but I have a handful of RP2040's from a completely unrelated project and I can get them all day long for less than 10 bucks if I am willing to wait 

im probably going to whip up a PCB for this but its running great using "old fart" point to point wiring on a scrap of perf 

 

 

[CryogeniumFocus]

That's what I generally do - TSOP for anything between 1.0 and 1.4, and Modxo for 1.6s.

As it is right now I'm not seeing much use in installing Modxo on a 1.0-1.4. At least not until there will be a way to chainload PrometheOS in the uf2 file writing process.
