DerFroschGott Posted June 27, 2021 Report Share Posted June 27, 2021 I recently acquired and old Xbox 1.1 with a a hard drive and disk drive both dead. It came with Aladdin XT2, so i switched the old hard drive to a new 80GB one and managed to install a new dashboard using an old computer disk drive i had laying around. Everything seemed to work fine and the console booted with Unleash X, but almost all games i tried installing on it's hard drive won't work. Dashboard tries to launch them, but the console simply resets to it's main dashboard. Not all games failed thought, 4x4 Evolution 2 and AMF Extreme Bowling started and worked fine without problems, but this is more of an exception than rule. It's weird, cause all emulators worked, and i was able to play Quake 1, 2 and 3 homebrew ports with no problems at all. Can someone please help me? Thank you!

SS_Dave Posted June 27, 2021 Report Share Posted June 27, 2021 Sounds like you could have a bad copy of the games. Or may it's the HDD is full and not all the files have been copied over, Has the F drive been formatted correctly Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

I solved the problem... The previous owner, for some reason, set age restriction do kids only. I spend more than a month trying to solve such a stupid problem, i feel kinda ashamed, hehe, but at least now it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have reminded me of the parental lock as I have only ever seen it once in all my time of working Xbox's, Maybe the Australian version doesn't have it as I have never seen it in the M$ dash or maybe it's only activated when you have the DVD dongle connected. Something for me to test sometime. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

The funny part is that i spent weeks trying to fix the problem, even managed to remove the modchip too or three times and reworking the soldering points, at some point, i almost killer the system by removing a small component by accident and almost losing it. Thankfully i recovered it after searching around the floor for a while and put it back to it's place, ehehehehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
