Trustin Posted October 9, 2022 Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 (edited) Ok, I'm going out of my mind here, and I hope I can get some help, and a direction. I will try to provide as much info as possible. Xbox Hardware: 1.6 Mod Chip: xecuter 3 ce Bios: (tried multiple with same outcome) Currently one made with EVTool HDD: Western Digital Blue 3TB SATA w/ Startech SATA converter & 80 wire 40 pin IDE cable So here is the problem. I have re-formatted the drive and partitioned it multiple times using different tools off of the "OGXBox Installer 2021 - v1.5.4" Disk. I have use multiple Bios and with success have see the F drive in OGXBox Installer, and XBMC4G as a 2TB usable space. After I transfer my games to the drive, I can only see 256 out of over 800 games. The other games come up as gibberish and can't access them (please see attached photos). Even when I look in the file explorer in XBMC4G I can only see 256 games. If I FTP to the drive, I see all the games. I'm completely out of ideas why I would get this problem multiple times. Please help Thanks in advance!

KaosEngineer Posted October 9, 2022 Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 If you are using the X3 BIOS, you need to enable the Use Saved Partition Table setting from the X3 Config Live menu. X3 BIOS - Large Hard Drive - Use Saved Partition Table (photo album tutorial) If not the X3 BIOS, you need a BIOS that has the LBA48 v2 or later patch installed. Run XBPartitioner v1.3 to verify the version of the LBA48 support. vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trustin Posted October 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 Unfortunately, I think I flashed over that Bios, and can't seem to get it back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted October 9, 2022 Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 You can flash the first 1MB bank with the X3 BIOS again by booting the console into the backup FlashBIOS. Power on the console with both the power and eject buttons to boot it. Enable network flashing and connct to FlashBIOS's web server to reflash it with the X3 3294 v16plus.bin file.

Trustin Posted October 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2022 Ok, I reflashed the bios (made sure to have patch V3) to the Xecuter bios, changed settings, and still only show 256 games. I'm about throw throw this Xbox into the river. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also FTP to the console to show the directory listing of the E, F and G drives. Are the Games split across the F and G in subfolders of a Games directory on each of these extended partitions? Edit: Oops, forget this next query. Not relavent with XBMC4Gamers. Is UnleashX's config.xml set to scan all three of these drive's Games directories to add them to the menu? Excerpt from UnleashX's config.xml <Menu>...</Menu> section: <List Text="Games" Sort="On" Auto="On"> <Path>E:\Games</Path> <Path>F:\Games</Path> <Path>G:\Games</Path> </List> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted October 10, 2022 Report Share Posted October 10, 2022 Okay wait. the X3 BIOS does not support larger than 1TB per extended partition. You may be able to create a larger than 1TB but it will not work. The only tool available to format/partition larger than a 1TB partition for Evox Titan is FATXplorer 3.0 Beta. Evox M8plus Titan only supports access to one extended partition, partition 6 - the F drive, which uses all of the remaining space above the 8GBs for the stock partitions. I believe it, FATXplorer 3.0 Beta, will only format the hard drive for use with Evox M8plus Titan when the hard drive is over 2.2TBs in size. Otherwise, the Titan patch for Evox M8plus is not needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evox is 256KB. So select one 256k bank. Assuming that your X3 bios is flashed to banks 1 through 4 (X3 bios is 1MB) I would use bank 8, which you can select with switch 4 on only. Make sure the write protection is disabled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted October 11, 2022 Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 To use the entire 3GBs, you will have to flash an Evox M8plus Titan + HD+ patched BIOS to your X3 modchip. Most Xbox BIOSes are only 256KBs in size. The exceptions are Team Xecuter's X3 BIOS being 1MB in size and their X2 5035 BIOS being 512KBs in size. You can use any appropriately sized bank that is not already in use on the X3 modchip. Normally, the X3 BIOS occupies the first 4 256KB banks 1, 2, 3 and 4 leaving banks 5, 6, 7 and 8 available to flash with either 4 separate 256KB BIOSes or 2 256KB BIOSes and 1 512KB BIOS. A 512KB Bios cannot be flashed to banks 6 and 7. It must start on either bank 5 or bank 7 to occupy banks 5 and 6 or 7 and 8. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted October 11, 2022 Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 Am I mixing up two users' Xboxes here? Now, that I've reread this thread, I see no mention of the HD+ HDMI mod other than those that I've made. Does the OP's Xbox have a MakeMHz HD+ HDMI mod installed or not? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be mixing it up with SaturnX's MakeMhz/XeniumOS 2.3.5 thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To format the hard drive correctly, you must use XBPartitioner v1.3 to format the extended partitions with 64KB clusters - only 2.2TBs of the drive will be accessible. Or, if you want to use all of the space available on a 3TB drive on a v1.6 xbox, you must apply the Titan patch to the Evox M8plus_16.bin BIOS file, flash the BIOS to your X3 modchip bank 5, 6, 7 or 8 then format the hard drive with FATXplorer 3.0 Beta - use the Titan option to format the extended partition 6 - F drive. Titan only supports one large extended partition for the remainder of the freespace available on the hard drive after the stock 8GBs used by the standard partitions 1-5 (E, C, X, Y and Z drives respectively).

Just the X3 and 3tb HD. I flashed last night the M8+ Titan. and then found that my entire F drive is no longer visible. I guess I'll have to start all over with the partitions now, and re-upload all my games. I will Re-partition with FatXplorer 3.0. Do I need to do anything special, or do I just plug it in, and Format XL HDD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The extra space has to be formatted with FATXplorer 3.0 Beta. To format the drive with FATXplorer 3.0 Beta, the hard drive has to be unlocked. I believe there's an option for Titan or CerBIOS use; so, format the drive for the Titan, not CerBIOS. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
