this doesn't sound accurate - no changes at all were made to mplayer. no changes have been made to mplayer cache. the default video engine changed to dvdplayer though, so maybe you are confusing that ? and this is unlikely related to a cache issue also.

Hi guys, i have been following this thread for a while and have had mixed results so far. I have found some boards that appeared to work perfectly at first but now depending on the drive I use have issues.

I have been playing around with a discected bios in ida and have been looking for a fix to the slow booting hdd's with sata to ide devices. The problem has been that the microcontroller resets the xbox after a specified time after turning it on if i put a delay in the bios at the start of the kerne...

Most isopropyl alcohol comes at 70% pure and 70% in most cases will cause you much trouble. Get 90% and the thermal compound will be gone in seconds regardless if it's the crap on the XBOX GPU/CPU or what you've used in your PC.
