H3is3nb3rg Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) Hello all and sorry for the "newb" question. I have just purchased 2 OG Xbox's, one is a 1.0(shown in picture) and the other is a 1.6. I currently have the 1.0 with a openXenium, upgraded to 2tb and just recently painted / led'd it up! I have it booting to the openXenium screen, I can FTP to this machine and see all folders. What I'm looking for is, what bios and dashboard do I need for these two? Its been years since I did this stuff and originally had the X3ce but sold it long ago...... Any help would be greatly appreciated!

SS_Dave Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 That paint job looks good BIOS wise I use the X2-5035.57(512kb) or the IND-5004.67(256kb) and you can put both on the Open Xenium and try each out for yourself iND-BiOS.5004.67.bin x2.5035.67.bin You can copy the 2 bios files to a USB to copy to the mod chip via the Launch menu,Add new item,Flash. Both are bios are customizable via config files on the hard drive. Dash wise have a look at the XBMC4Gamers. https://github.com/Rocky5/XBMC4Gamers Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I FTP these files over what folder do they go into? Or does it matter as I can point to them? and would dashboard go into the same folder?

SS_Dave Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 The XMBC4Gamers would normally go in E drive XBMC folder. The Bios files I would put in C drive and in a folder called bios "C:\bios" If you can't find the config files on your hard drive here they are ind-bios.cfg x2config.ini Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H3is3nb3rg Posted July 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 I tried to FTP XBMC4Gamers via filezilla to the E drive but FileZilla fails everytime, Is there another way I should be doing this? I was able to transfer the bios and config file with no issues Again, thank you for all the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS_Dave Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Did you get the prebuilt version? This is the one I just FTPed to a xbox E Drive and I put it in a xbmc4gamers folder then was able to launch the default.xbe file with no problems https://www.dropbox.com/s/iijsx2jdgp3t4fw/XBMC4Gamers.rar?dl=0 Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS_Dave Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Was the hard drive a new HDD ? Have you set the partitions for F and G drives (partitions 6 and 7) using Xpartitioner 1.3 ??

H3is3nb3rg Posted July 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 This is not a new drive but not old. Maybe I did this wrong but all I did was connect both drives via a molex Y splitter and in OpenXenium there is an option to setup new drive. Is this wrong?

SS_Dave Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 The clone and format thats built in to the Open Xenium was written long be for a 500 gigabyte HDD let alone a 2 terabyte. XBpartitioner-1.3.7z Use this to set the extended partitions 6 and 7 I set to equal max size then back them of a fraction as a example one of mine is set to 927.78 GB each. That should sort out your problem.

H3is3nb3rg Posted July 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 i assume i would ftp XBpartition over but being I'm having issues is there another way to use this? I thought about burning the Hexen 2018 dvd and trying that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 You could FTP the partition to E drive and run from there . I would suggest you start from scratch and do a new large drive install from a install DVD. Here is a link to the latest Hexen and burn it to a DVD-r at the slowest write speed you can. https://www.dropbox.com/s/twii5uk0pjsfj0j/TruHeXEn2020.zip?dl=0 Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

H3is3nb3rg Posted July 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 I just completed the dvd and I'm so sorry for my current lack of knowledge with this, do I re-hook up both drives and use this disk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 You need the DVD drive and the new hard drive attached to the Xbox Then insert the install disk in the DVD and power cycle the Xbox the hexen disk can take 60 -90 seconds to load.

H3is3nb3rg Posted July 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 I do not have a new drive of this size to put in it, can I format this one on a PC and reuse it? I tried a smaller HDD but it did not detect it at all. I'm getting a bit frustrated as I know its not suppose to be this hard... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 There is no need to format it in a PC 1st. Fit the 2tb with the Sata to Ide adapter with the 80 way IDE cable you where trying to get going and refit the DVD player. The load the Hexen disk and use the new install for large hard drive option.

H3is3nb3rg Posted July 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 I think its working now, the new drive detected came up and asked me if I wanted to format, so I did that and currently formatting the X: drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 That's sounding good. Let me know when it's finished installing a dash and how much space you have on F and G drives.

H3is3nb3rg Posted July 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 does it usually take forever to format the X: drive? Its been doing this for awhile. Also the eject led is red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 The red led is normal for Hexen The X,Y,Z drives should format within seconds. Try powering it down and start again .

kaurloto Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 Sweet paint job h3is I'm jealous, how did you paint it? Taped it off and dumped a spray can? Talk about precision in those grooves man! I never had any luck using FileZilla, WinSCP worked out better for me. XBPartitioner has a help menu if you pres the Back button to show all the commands. If you just press A it will cycle through a few of the typical partitioning options, but like Dave said you'll need to split your drive space between F and G to keep each partition under 1TB. From their man pages, here's the partition letter breakdown: 1 (E): Game save directory; also used as the default app install location. 2 (C): Operating system directory, do not modify anything here unless you know what you are doing. 3 (X): Cache drive. It is OK to format this. 4 (Y): Cache drive. It is OK to format this. 5 (Z): Cache drive. It is OK to format this. 6 (F): is an extra storage directory. 7 (G): is an extra storage directory, generally used if your HDD is bigger than 137GB. 8-14 (H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O): are memory cards or USB devices. It is recommended to split the extra hard drive space evenly between the F and G drive to avoid potential file/folder limits of the filesystem. Ensure that the top right corner says "Write & Format"; if not, press Y until it has this option selected. Use 64KB clusters for a 500GB-1TB partition 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
