1 Ghz and 1.4 Ghz XBox Problem Game(S)

That does look pretty good. Ill have to consider doing the cpu mod. So many mod choices, not sure where to start. Thank you for doing this.

You are welcome. 

CPU Mod is really worth the effort.

Thanks! Morrowind works perfect! Both, english and german version. 720p Patch is awesome as well. Didn't test any other mods for the game yet.

I spent around 1h in the game... not very much but enough to tell it's awesome!

You can check this, there is some footage of Morrowind in 720p.

Depends on the emulator.

PCSX-ReloadedX is greate for Fighting Games. You can basically watch the whole end of the video... of course it's in german but you get some really good footage between

PCSX-ReloadedX and PCSXbox v23 emulator.

I would recommand PCSXbox v23... sometimes it's even better to turn of the FPS Limit.... but only sometimes.

Try Pcsxbox from tabajara - So far best one.

Hello, I wanted to ask, I tried to use xbe patcher for a few xbox classic games, several emulators, I set the patch to 128mb or 64mb, set the processor 1000mhz, 1400mhz, 100,200mhz and what didn't I set, all the games fired worked the same ??  Why is this patcher a fake?  Do you need to set anything else?  Thank you.

-57 Games that run too fast no matter how I patched.

1GHZ Xbox can underclock to 730 mhz and resolve all the compatibility issues with Xbox games. 1.4GHZ Xbox can not underclock this low.
So 1GHZ is better if you look for full compatibility with Xbox games and still have enough power for good emulation.

I'll give this a shot when I get my motherboard in for testing cpus before install.

@Donnie-BurgerReally interested to learn your findings as a fresh 1.4ghz owner. According to the specs the lowest FSB speed is 100 MHz which supports the statement of @1ghzowner. However also found a topic here were someone commented that he managed to lower the FSB to 70. Another person commented he couldn’t get it lower the 98.

Once I get one going I will be testing like crazy.

exactly, because that was a 1GHZ Xbox, not a 1.4GHZ.

Do you know why the 1 GHz apparently can hit much lower FSB limits? They 1.0 and 1.4 GHz processors are both from the same process. With my limited knowledge FSB limits should be roughly the same. Can it be that the 1 GHz is basically an undervolted 1.4GHz?

Xan we actually play with the voltages?

Someone stated that he thinks the 1.4GHZ schematic / voltages were slightly off /wrong.  Maybe this is it.

unfortunately I don't know. My speculation is - some Xboxes can't go that much low on the FSB.

it's actually no big deal for me. most of them are sports games that I don't play anyways and the very few good titles I can play on my regular xbox.

I'm using my 1.4Ghz all the time. It works like a charm.

After some though over the last few years, it is my belief the SDRAM does not POST when a 1.4ghz is under clocked below 100 FSB. The JEDEC standard was 66.66mhz 100mhz or 133mhz. I had planned to return to testing but wanted to reach a stable 1.4ghz build in XBMX4GAMERS first. Sadly, I have not been able to sustain a dashboard without locking up, let alone a game. I became frustrated and set 2 of these beauties aside. Input on working builds would be helpful.

Hey there,

I finally finished my 1,4Ghz HDD (2TB).

I want to share this list for those who have a 1,4Ghz or 1,5Ghz consol and are working on a HDD as well. It might be not 100% perfect but I'm really proud to have a HDD like this.

Attached is a list of all the content inside.

-686 Games patched, they all work perfect!

-57 Games that run too fast no matter how I patched.

-23 Games that didn't work no matter what.

-You can ignore "Systemlink" it's just a line for the games me and my friends play online most of the time.

-720p patch that worked really good in my opinion! I just kept 720p for those games that work smooth and stable.

-Including Homebrews, Retro Emulators (Full Pack), Ps1 Emulator with over 100 Games and some german exclusive games.

Yes I'm from germany and It was important for me to have some games (RPGS) in german language.

Would be good to go through this with my xbe CPU patching tool that covers the 3-byte 733 values as well to see if we can squeeze a few more games into the "working" category
