Re: Need assistance with HDD change ( Original XBOX )

Thank you, Very much! This was Exactly what I wanted to know. Well explained and explained in detail. I'll be sure to get my hands on a utility disc, One more question though. Which utility is recommended the most? HeXen, easier for flashing chips and uses DHCP by default. Auto-Installer sets up a ...

Re: Need assistance with HDD change ( Original XBOX )

Hi there, The modchip does not take care of formatting and partition creation. Not in the case of a 1TB hard drive for sure (there are advanced modchips with embbeded "OS" that could format drives but that was way before 1TB were available). To fully prepare a HDD, you must have a working ...

Re: Searching: SmartXX V3 with Addons (aka Extreme Edition)

Did the problem started when you updated XBMC4Xbox to 3.5? I submitted a bug concerning Contrast adjustment when a SmartXX V3 is detected (must have detectmodchip enabled in advancedsettings.xml). I provided a solution and specified that this was untested as I don't have a SmartXX V3 to test it on. ...

Re: Trusty xbox heatsink replacement

Mine's around 50-55 C when running pmBlobs screensaver. I had just cleaned the CPU/Heatsink and changed thermal paste but I ran it with the console opened, no modified HDD tray or case top. Probably the stock exhaust fan wasn't helping at all. Surely closing up the console properly would provide a b...

Re: Trusty xbox heatsink replacement

I think this is an interesting topic. I recently acquired a Trusty motherboard and I was looking for some heatsink to run it cooler; preferably somthing all copper! Do the mounting holes around the CPU follow a standard pattern used in PC for mounting heatsinks? Dynatron has lots of different cooler...

Re: Aladdin XT 4034

First post in here . This will always enable the Aladdin XT to boot whatever how much time you press the power button. You're then free to flash any 256KB BIOS on it. No need to lock the HDD if you're using a hacked BIOS. Of course if you want to boot from TSOP you need to have the HDD locked as it'...

Re: Where can I get Xbox ram chips?

Did they ever make chips that were a larger memory size but the same pinouts? so instead of 16mb each.. say 32mb each? Anyone ever tried adding larger capacity RAM chips? I don't think they make chips with more capacity using the same footprint. @psy_chew Thanks for clearing it up about the differe...

Re: Where can I get Xbox ram chips?

SAMSUNG K4D263238D-QC50 I believe you should be able to use: K4D263238D-QC50 K4D263238F-QC50 K4D263238M-QC50 And possibly 1 more. It depends what Xbox version you have. You should consult with your Xbox and try to get the type that matches your other chips. That being said, I remember reading that ...

Yeah, I meant physically disassemble the console until you get a clear view or the whole motherboard. Tien post pics.

You'll need a Torx20 and a Torx10 screwdriver.

Re: (WIP) New modchip coming in

Anything to do with the TSOP brand (ST/Hynix/Winbond), or size (1MB/256KB) ? It is very unlikely. The TSOP flash only serves as a container for the MCPX to map the image contained in the TSOP mirrored in the upper 16MB of the address space. The difference between a 1MB and a 256KB TSOP is the numbe...

Re: (WIP) New modchip coming in

I suppose the question arising is whether the TSOP recovery will work on a 256K TSOP (v1.2-v1.5 xbox) ? tsop_d6.bin BIOS works on 1.0 to 1.3 Xboxes. During my experimentation, I was not able to make this BIOS work when Evox M8+ or X2 5035 was flashed on TSOP; console FRAG. I was able to make it wor...

Hello, I am currently developping a modchip for the Original Xbox(thread here ). I need to do some testing but I don't have any 1.4/1.5 unit... I would like to purchase one. Working DVD drive is not necessary. Stock HDD can be removed to reduce shipping weight(but please leave plastic trays). Basica...

Re: (WIP) New modchip coming in

I got it! TSOP recovery using tsop_d6.bin works perfectly on the XBlast Mod now; just like on the Chameleon. I will post more info on it later. This will require a new PCB revision. TSOP split will only split 1MB TSOP in 2 now. I originally planned to support 4-way split but to reduce part count and...
