Sealizard Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) Hello everyone, I have a hard mod og box 1.6 with a X3 build 3294 and kernel ver 1.0.5034.1 I did this mod about 10 years ago and I have been out of it for a long while. now that I have a child and she likes to play games I am getting back into it. I have read that some people are upgrading the ram on the board from 64mb to 128mb. So my question is why? I do want to run some emulators on my box now. In the past I put the mod chip so I could put a bigger drive in to copy my games on the hard drive and play them from the hard drive. so my question is now that I want to put some emulators on their do I need to update my RAM to 128mb? and do i need to update my x3 build or kernel version? Thank you in advance. Edited May 20, 2020 by Sealizard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmon Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 really not much in regular xbox games, its mainly for emulators that need more than the 64mb and it helps in kodi. I may be wrong but 1.6 cant have memory added. Id suggest getting a pi for the price/time you'll spend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon639 Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 A ram upgrade is mostly for emulators a certain dash boards that can take advantage of the additional memory. I'm not too sure how it will affect normal xbox games. Also I dont believe you can upgrade the ram on a 1.6 Xbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neighbor Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 also with 128 mb ram it is possible to launch prerelease versions of games, or even unreleased ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benur75 Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 You can for example launch Virtua Cop3, relased for Sage Shihiro plateform which is a 128 Mb Xbox with additional devices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sealizard Posted May 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 but as madmon said the og xbox v1.6 can not upgrade the ram on the board. so what i am doing now is just going to emulate with Surreal64 with earth worm james 212 roms. I know i need to post this in another forum but I have got it downloaded and on my box but I can't get it to launch, it keeps going back to my dash. so now I am looking for the right forum on here to get it running. thank you everyone for your help and explaining to me.
