SS_Dave Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 If you are not confident at soldering then find some old circuit boards and practice on them 1st. If you are fitting to a version 1.0 - 1.4 you don't need that small board Work in a well lit location and take you time and don't forget Flux is your friend. If you are not sure Stop and ask questions Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

Logh3f82 Posted April 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 Also i heard you can load games from your hard drove with this chip, does anybody know how to do that so i can set that up after i install the chip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 The hard drive tools that are built in the Open Xenium are very limited and are really only suited to the stock 8gb HDD. Once you have the chip fitted and working you can then setup a new large hard drive using a installation DVD disk like the OGXbox installation disk to format and install a new operating system/ Dash board to it. I would suggest you try the different Dash boards and find one you like, I like the Xbmc4gamers. You can then connect to the Xbox using FTP (I use FileZilla) and transfer games and apps to the newly setup hard drive, A better and quicker way to transfer large number of files is with a PC program called FATXplorer.

The ISO file is about 4.5gb and it will fit on a DVD-r blank, When you burn it write as slow as the software will go and use a brand name blank (Verbatim). I use a freeware program called Express burn by NCH software. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

Logh3f82 Posted April 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 Welp then i'm off to buy 4.5gb recordable disc then. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logh3f82 Posted April 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 Well i'm kind of at a loss. I now have DVD-Rs that are 4.7 gig in size but now it seem i can't burn the iso to them. i don't know if its the disc drive i'm using or the cds. I was hoping to try doing this before may but it seems i won't be able too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS_Dave Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 I tested Imgburn and it took 18.5 minutes to burn disk at 1X speed from the (OGXBox Installer 2021 - v1.5.3.iso) file Use the Write image file to disk option I also set the write speed to 1 and unticked the verify option When it's finished the PC will not be able to read the DVD disk.
