Xbox on laptop screen

Hi, I want to use my laptop as a screen for my xbox, so when it's in bits on the kitchen table I can check if things are working or in my case not! :cry: Can anyone recommend a screen capture device that runs off of a usb, not fussed about sound but it would be nice and the software to run it. ;)

Re: Which bios for a TSOP 1.1

You'll need that disc for XbPartitioner however the M8 bioses I use are on the 2.7 Slayer's disc. I would think the M8 bioses on the 2.98 Slayer's disc would be the M8+ bios. Okay, I have the M8 bios loaded with the blue xbox logo. Next, to try and get my 2Tb hdd running, do you have a preferred me...

Re: Chimp Hard Drive Upgrade

What version xbox do you have? What version Chimp are you using? It would be worth trying a different version of Chimp to what you have. :|

Re: Which bios for a TSOP 1.1

Thanks for that, which version M8 or M8+? I only use the original ones on the old Slayer's disc. I found issues using the later M8+ bios on 1 and 2TB sata HDDs. I figure I use the Slayer's disc for everything else, I may as well use it's bioses as well. The M8 bioses are both flubberless, have a ni...

First things first show us some pictures:-) of the motherboard dammage then we might be able to help more. Okay, it will take...

Re: Which bios for a TSOP 1.1

Don't know about a TSOP on a 1.1 but I prefer M8 bioses on 1TB, 2TB, actually any size HDD. I'm not a believer in having any part of the bios' operation on the HDD. I like to swap HDDs between machines if needed and having parts of the bios operation on that HDD would make that somewhat impossible....

No, nothing. So from reading around is it most likely to be either the motherboard or hdd? Do you think there might be a short caused by the corrosion? Is it worth doing a continuity test in that area :?: Thanks

Fault finding a FRAG

Hi, picked up an xbox for parts and thought I would see if I could revive it. It powers up green light then goes into red and green flashing light. I opened it up and it is pretty clean apart from it looks like it was either seating on something damp or had something spilled on it. There is some cor...

Re: 2Tb or not 2Tb

XBHDM sets the master password automatically to; XBOXSCENE Locking/relocking the HDD with Configmagic sets the master password to; TEAMASSEMBLY Chimp probably sets the master password to one of the above. You don't need the master password unless you break your Xbox mobo & need to unlock the dr...

Hi, I was under the impression that a 2Tb hard drive works better with a modchip over a softmod?

Re: Which chip for a V1.6?

I personally find the M8 bios to suit just the 1.6 board found on the old Slayer's 2.7 disc far more compatible with the 2Tb sata hard drives. The later M8 bios designed to suit all Xbox versions I found slower but also has issues with the 1 and 2Tb HDDs mainly F drive not always showing up on cold...

Which chip for a V1.6?

Hi, I am new to xbox modding and have a V1.6 box that I would like to use with a 2tb drive (just because it's possible).
Can someone recommend which chip I should go for and then which bios?
Thanks :?:
