prattdog Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 So I had a hard modded xbox from long time ago. I followed the steps and got this img to work on that xbox. So i went out and got a none modded one. Installed a OpenXenium following Mr Mario's youtube video. Then i installed the img onto another hard drive and everything worked beside it would not see drive G. So i tried a few things and nothing worked. But now after i get to the flubber screen. It just goes to a black screen and nothing happens. Am i doing something wrong? I am not doing this to resell these consoles. I wanna give them to my brother / uncle who wants one.

SS_Dave Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 What bios are you using? Was it an image file you used to make the 2nd hard drive or did you copy the files from the other hard drive to the new one. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prattdog Posted March 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 I am using the m8+ bios and it is the same file. I got it to work after i patched the bios. But now it just stays the xbox flubber screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Origins image has a evoxdash.xbe on C:\ which is a link to the XBMC on E:\. The bios he uses should boot the image without a problem.

The Origins image is, as far as I can tell, build on a softmod base. But with the right bios, which boots either C:\evoxdash.xbe first or E:\XBMC\default.xbe , it should boot fine. How ever, it feels just slow and clunky when using it. Keep the games (probably the reason you have loaded thee 1,7TB) and set up a new C&E partition and use XBMC4Gamer from Rocky5 as dashboard. Thats what I would do and others have done. That Origins looks nice but thats all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i would do the soft modded but how long it takes to upload every xbox games plus all the other games and config it to work. I was just looking for the easy way out but this is turning out to be not easy. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetdarkdestiny Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) Let me answer that with a quote from the OGXBox Installer 2021 topic : On 2/26/2021 at 8:00 PM, AtariSoul said: @sweetdarkdestiny Thanks mate, I didn't think your installer disc could get any better! I forgot I had mentioned about the DGW not updating with DHCP main screen. I was using the ORIGINS image and wanted to convert it to XBMC4GAMERS so rather than transferring all the games to F & G again and wanting to remove all the softmod stuff I wondered how to achieve this. All I did was load your disc, saw the format C & E and then it reinstalled all the vital stuff to get it up and running again. Brilliant stuff!!!!! And I've got an OpenXenium to install, well because I can!! so you've added just what I need! I hope you're feeling much better now too. All the very best and stay safe AtariSoul Easy enough?

prattdog Posted April 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 Update: For whatever reason i can not get the first HDD to work. My 2nd HDD came in yesterday. I burnt that img file to that other HDD and it works great. Loads up every time. My 2nd HDD is a WD Green. The one i am having all the problems with is a Hitachi HDD. From my understanding. All sata HDD will work with a mod chip. But maybe something to do with this img file has a problem with this HDD or something. Or maybe the HDD is bad. I dunno.

Like Dave already wrote, it "coverts" the Green to Blue. Reason for this because some of the Greens seems to be a bit lazy and take to long to become rdy on boot because of this feature and the XBox refuse to boot and stuck on the X logo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raja Posted April 4, 2021 Report Share Posted April 4, 2021 The easiest way to Use this Utility is to download Ultimate Boot Disk. Follow this Tutorial and the link to download is also in the description. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VoltXT7 Posted April 4, 2021 Report Share Posted April 4, 2021 @SS_Dave @sweetdarkdestiny Thanks both for your answers. I have a WD 1TB Blue (Brand new still in box) that I bought like a year ago to upgrade a semi-virgin Xbox Console. In conclusion, that wdidle3 is NOT for me.
