SS_Dave Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 If it was mine I would flash the TSOP with the X2-5035-67 bios and it'a a 512kb size With the Aladdin chip it's a 256kb size so the only one I know of the will work with a 2tb hard drive is the IND 4003.67 bios A 2tb hard drive will hold well over 800 Xbox games and the biggest hard drive is a 3tb but the Xbox will only use 2.2tb of it. I use the WD black 2tb drives or the Seagate 2tb are ok as well if you get the power saver WD green I would suggeset running the WDidle3 program to turn of the power save and get a Startech IDE2SAT2 adaptor with an 80way IDE cable.

SS_Dave Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 If you boot the Xbox from a mod chip you can not flash the TSOP. The Aladdin chip is a basic chip and it's a simple to use chip The other chip I would suggest is the Open Xenium as you can add a display to the Xbox to display the fan speed,CPU temp,Mother Board temp, ant that sort of thing. also the Open Xenium has 1024kb of storage for the BIOS files so you could have 4 X 256kb BIOS's or 2 X 256kb and a 512kb BIOS files. The TSOP in a version 1.0 - 1.1 is a 1024kb(1 meg) and you can add a switch to select between 2 different BIOS files. Confused now?

SS_Dave Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 Most of the Xbox's I setup the owner just want's to hit the power button the select a game and play. So for that sort of person I flash the TSOP on the version 1.0 -1.4 (Flashing the TSOP is the same as a modchip) and for the version 1.6 Xbox I fit an Aladdin modchip. If the owner likes to experiment or want's to add a display then I fit an Open Xenium. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

SS_Dave Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 Yes there is a modded Aladdin modchip that was designed by a member here that can display the same info. But by the time you make that up you might as well fit a Open Xenium. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

SS_Dave Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 The Time and Date retention is the job of the clock cap if the power is unplugged and nothing to do with the way it is modded. All my Xbox's and even the ones I work on are connected to the home network and automatically set the clock via the internet time server.

The only thing is I would look for a 7200 rpm hard drive but is not 100% necessary. I wish I could buy it that cheap here In australia the Startech is $45 the IDE lead is about $25 and with the WD 2tb blue costing $99 plus postage.

SS_Dave Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Probably not on booting but maybe a slight increase in access of lots of small files.

SS_Dave Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 I use Slayers 2.7 as I found it doesnt put any crap on the hard drive like the hexen 2018,19 does although I have been told that has been fixed in the TruHeXEn 2020 that I put in the download section. The Install disk is to format the hard drive and install a operating system (Dashboard) on the hard drive...

Not that I am aware of I would suggest you look at the XBMC4Gamers it's on the 2020 hexen and for emulators look at the coinops or ninja massive (approx 80 gig). As you are using a 2tb hard drive you will need to reflash the BIOS The IND5003.67 what I would put in the Aladdin. iND-BiOS.5003.67.bin Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.
