Extended cables for internals? (E.g dvd power)

[empyreal96]

Hopefully this will be an easy solution..

I'm trying to find extended cables for the insides of a 1.6:
- DVD Drive Power cables
- Gameport cable extention
- PSU power into the mobo

Ideally I wanna try find some premade cables/adapters.. but If it has to be a DIY jobby then tips would be much appreciated!

Depending on the length the 20 pin power supply extension cable can be got from eBay and the others you will probably need to make.

The male and female internal connectors for the DVD power and the control ports can be sourced from Digi-key and others.

You can also buy controller extension cables from eBay

How long are you wanting?

Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

Yeah I saw some power extenders on ebay, I thought making them would be the case, ideally 3x the size of the default cable.. it's for the inside of a rather large PC case

I think I will fetch a few cables and join them up for the dvd power..

I couldn't find any internal controller extended cables, but I was thinking sourcing the cables from another broken console would do the trick for now

 

One other thing, are there any known power supply units that are known to work with the xbox 1.6? I haven't got the tools to make an enclosure

The controller is a USB1.0 so it is very forgiving, You should be able to extend the leads from the ports to the main board without any problems as there is

2 X 5 volt

2 X ground

2 X D+

2 x D-

2 X light gun sync (Yellow wires and not really needed)

For each 12 pin plug

The DVD power would need all the wires extending or fit a mod chip and use a No DVD bios and not have a DVD drive

Unless you want to modify a PC power supply then you will need to use the version 1.6 unit

I think shall look into the controller cable and the dvd cable to extend, I have several left over.. could be handy to have standard USB ports in ports 3 and 4 bit that can come later

 

I need to avoid a no dvd bios ideally, the rig I'm setting up needs use of the drive when I swap it in  

I will have to have a ponder on the power supply scenario I think

The NoDVD BIOS does not prevent the DVD drive from working in the Xbox.  It only removes the check that requires it to be connected while booting the console without an error being displayed.

Ahh that's good to know!

Just extend the wires, easy enough to do with basic soldering skills. If you want to be safe do 1 wire at a time as they are all yellow wires as I'm sure you know. I can always make you 1 if your desperate.

I was likely gunna take a crack at it myself soon as finally got almost all the bits I need, I'm sure it'll be fine as I had to make a botch up AV cable/extender for another xbox

No problem, good luck and hope to see it finished soon
