So the Agestar STI-2 SATA/IDE adaptor is the best? What is a good place to get them in the USA? I need a good SATA to IDE adapter for use with a 2TB drive that is quick (especially boot up times) and reliable. While it's been said the Kingwin ADP-06 is the same adapter under the a different brand, ...

Is there any way to set a max fan speed when allowing xbmc to control the fan speed based on target temperature? Found the minfanspeed in the guisettings so with little hope I tried adding a maxfanspeed. I'd like it to go no higher than %50 on Xboxes I'm handing off to others.

Right, but I figured he was already implying (at133) that he was using an 80-wire cable. Odd that you'd get abnormal performance from a DVD-ROM like this and not simply get an error 12 at boot.

What Bios & Hard Drive are you using?

I have just read the thread and have a few questions if you guys dont mind: 1. Are the Softmods on the Hexen 2017 ISO " actual Softmods " or are they older ones? As I understand it, they are pretty much the final versions of their respective exploits. Can't say for certain. I do know you'...

How to win friends and influence people. :lol: Now, I know I can sometimes come off curt with people and I have to admit I sometimes intentionally provoke people, too, but... wow. He's at quite a level with that exaggerated sense of personal entitlement. I can only hope you and the other mods don't...

I know you're not getting the long winded post that you may have come looking for but advice like spicemuseum's is pretty golden and, well... ya gotta start somewhere. I want to upgrade it to the latest XBMC So, what version should I go with? This question has me, and maybe others, a touch worried. ...

No utility for the Xbox has an 'unformat' option. No worries, though. The retail kernel and software can't see anything beyond the 8 Gigabytes the stock software is allotted so you might as well ignore any extended partition(s). Also, yes any Slayer's or recent HeXEn disc can do a return to Stock......

You're saying you use it temporarily and then remove it and use it again later? I should've clarified. I used the same piece of 18awg with a tiny little tinned L bend in the end to guide the solder flow. I lift the wire away just before the iron and it leaves the points bridged. It's just a cheater...

Adding my two cents. For bridging, I use a very light amount of flux, then add solder to the iron and drag it across the write-enable points. I personally find it easier than maneuvering a wire in between the points. To each his own I guess. I then use Hexen to flash the bios to iND-BIOS (typically...

I'm sorry if I didnt post this in the right place. Anyways I know there are some pc games that have been succesfully ported to the Xbox, and Ive always wondered how do you do it? There are some games that Id like to play/port myself if I have to, are there any good tutorials or is there anyone will...

I have three 3 xboxes 1 softmod 2 with executor flashed tsop I have 500 and 320gb drives installed and running fine in the softmod and 1 of the flashed boxes(both are executor) I just got a 750gb IDE for one of the tsop flashed boxes. I formatted with XB partioner with F and G are 353gig each (32k ...

I have the 2017 HexEn CD. It's a life saver for sure. Just a quick question. I know your lab box is TSOP modded, but all the boxes you are dropping the drives in, are they all TSOP also, or are you leaving them as softmods? I had 1 TSOP go bad on me trying to bridge the points. I think i'll just us...

Hello guys, Years ago I soft modded my original Xbox. I can't remember too much what I did but I think I used something called Ndure with a tutorial from Xbox-Scene.com way back in the day. And in it's absence you have to comb multiple sites for new and old info. In my best Bill Clinton "I fee...

Are you using the Ndure splintercell softmod, I was reading up a little bit on config magic and it said something about not having virtual eprom. Mech Assault has always been my exploitable game of choice, and I'm using something called Ultimate Xbox Exploit, or more commonly referred to as UXE. Fr...

Thank you for spelling out your process, it's definitely giving me a lot to think about. I haven't used configmagic (at least not yet) so pardon my ignorance. I gather that it allows you to basically change the hdd key on all your target boxes, and you are leaving those systems softmodded? I unders...

That is great info, and yeah 11 hours beats 80 lol. Yeah, I did all three in about 36 Hours. Seeing that time estimate in Chimp a few weeks ago made me do my research. No offense to you at all, Rocky, that's fine work. I just didn't have that kind of time to dedicate my lab box to that. I had other...

Ran across this post as I'm cloning a drive right this moment, (first of three 2tb drives). As for advice about zeroing the unique hdd key, yes, it makes life a lot easier but Rocky's right and you gotta watch out for softmods that use all that funny virtual stuff (I hate that). I zero out the key o...
