vitor Posted July 27, 2022 Report Share Posted July 27, 2022 15 hours ago, Donnie-Burger said: So I have gifted about 4 xbox 1.6s with 128mb ram and many are saying games are black screening freezing etc. I'm going to try and pinpoint if its a Titan/Cerbios/UDMA5/ or 1.6 - 128mb issue. This might be a 1.6 - 128mb issue as sega chihiro games also have issues and i'm pretty sure I played some of those on my non 1.6s 128mb. If anyone has any info please share. I'm upgrading a 1.6 now so I can test. I have a feeling this is bios related but need to be one hundo. Check the temperature. See if your new ram memories are not too hot. Would be my investigation from start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donnie-Burger Posted July 27, 2022 Report Share Posted July 27, 2022 This is for anyone attempting this for the first time: Ordered some ram from china new and as the one module I installed last night worked it was a pain in the arse. For some reason the new samsung chips from china have shorter legs (Or slightly thicker module) making it real tight. Spend 2 hours installing one. Spent 20 min installing one from a donor board. Night and day degree of difficulty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donnie-Burger Posted July 28, 2022 Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 Okay just built another 1.6 with 128MB titan udma5 to test and so far some of the games that were stated not working are working for me. I believe I might have flashed an incorrect bios. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't want responsibility To reproduce what I have in 0.60: Install a git client. I use TortoiseGit since it has a nice UI Clone the git repo from https://bitbucket.org/psyko_chewbacca/lpcmod_os/src/master/ Roll it back to version 0.56 to fix FATX and networking bugs Modify menu/textmenu/ToolsMenuInit.c as described in the tutorial Duplicate line 1111 in etherboot/drivers/net/forcedeth.c. This line should say pci_push(base); Change the version string in include/config.h Push a PR. I'll merge it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopenator Posted August 8 Report Share Posted August 8 I just attempted this mod. can someone confirm that there are some adjacent pins on the ram that are supposed to have continuity? my Xbox keeps fragging so I want to rule that out.

There are other options though on Psycho's repo for bank application like possibly 4x256 and 2x512 besides the OS version IIRC. Have a look.

Bowlsnapper Posted September 2 Report Share Posted September 2 I wonder if 256 can be done in some way. I know this would probably enable more chihiro games to work. The chihiro had 512 I think... What's this crap about stellar supporting it if not method has even been shared?... I feel like this is bullcrap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowlsnapper Posted September 2 Report Share Posted September 2 On 7/26/2022 at 8:44 AM, Prehistoricman said: I was thinking about it, yeah. However I'm not sure it the system would support the RAM clock being faster than the NVCLK at 233MHz. I'm also not sure how to change the timings for the memory. DDR-400 would require a higher CAS latency, for example. Is this intended to help with overclock ceilings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like this is bullcrap. The chihiro had 128MB ram. You could add ram module/s using a addon board (Sega Chihiro Mediaboard). There you could add up to 1GB ram. Here you see an old ebay listing : https://www.ebay.com/itm/175679500190 About Stellar. I'm not realy sure what ram above 128 (or maybe 256) could be useful as long as there is no way that games can be patched to use all that ram. Just for emulation or X4G it's overkill and you be better of using a RaspPi4 4GB/8GB for emulation anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, my assumption was that some games required more than 128MB and that's why the cards existed, and it's why certain games can't be made to run on a 128 console. I saw that 1GB and 512 was the max in two different places so I just picked one. lol. Thank you for confirming a number. Maybe to help with things like Alpine linux, or to hack games to run in 1080p with a processor upgrade, but that's practically experimental, or very difficult fun. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pejman1998 Posted September 16 Report Share Posted September 16 Hi friends, I have done 128mb ram upgrade on my 1.6 OG xbox , every chip I installed, I checked with Xblast os on Aladdin mod chip and it gave me success for all 4 banks but when i reflashed the modchip with m8plus1.6 either untouched or modified for 128mb ram or titan and etc , it just boots blackscreen, meaning that no frag or whatever, steady green light with hdd spinning but no picture at all ! I read somewhere there is a short somewhere but I'm confident that I don't have any shorts on circuit since there would be frag , any thought would be appreciated !
