dirtykash Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 (edited) I'm planning to use Ryzee119's Aladdin LCD driver but want to use the Xblast modchips I have as they are essentially the same thing. I'm just looking for some help to identify the LCD connection points for the Xblast as I don't have an Aladdin chip to compare to right now. Looking for points RS, E, Vo and RW on the Xblast Edited April 10, 2021 by dirtykash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 It should be. RS = pin 29 E = pin 31 VO = pin 9 RW = pin 35 D4 = pin 26 Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtykash Posted April 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 Thanks Dave, super helpful as always Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtykash Posted April 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 Couldn't get this to work at all, checked and re-check my connections with multi meter, re programmed the CPLD a few times wont have it. Had to order an Aladdin to see if that will work for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 This may be an option Or this one mounts on the back of the LCD 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...

sweetdarkdestiny Posted April 13, 2021 Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 (edited) Why not buying a simple XBlast Lite for 20-25 bucks instead of a Aladdin for ~10 and a Spi2Par for ~10-15 bucks ect.? Btw the XBLast would offer way more as just a display. Edited April 13, 2021 by sweetdarkdestiny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtykash Posted April 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 I’m going to have another look over my connections on the xblast, I have a feeling some of the data lines could be slightly different from the Aladdin connections under the flash socket.

I already have a screen and xblast that I made and would like to try get it working with stuff I already have and buying mod chips in the uk isn’t easy these days and eBay are all Chinese sellers which takes a while to get here.

dirtykash Posted April 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 Ok, so I have this working with an Aladdin modchip now. Problem is after I enable settings in XBMC4GAMERS the display works fine until reset console then doesn’t display anything ? Even though settings are saved when I go back to them? Am I missing something simple here? Sorry this is my first dabble with LCD’s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtykash Posted April 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 Had to set profile to auto login with xbmc to get this to work and save settings. all working though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
