Re: Who runs a 2Tb drive?

I'm still having much grief with my Seagate 2Tb Sata Drives (ST2000DM001) Last week I sent a friend of mine a XBox I made up for them, Before posting I spent good couple hours checking all the emulators and some random games. All seemed to work fine, once my friend received the parcel much of the em...

XBMC Icons & Thumbails

Hey, everyone... I'm in the process of putting together some icons and thumbnails... I know that renaming a image to default.tbn will produce a thumbnail for that app or game, But is there a way to assign a thumbnail to a parent folder? Or is it possible to go to and from wide icons and box art? Tha...

Re: Launching an ISO from the Hard Drive

My first attempt at compiling nkpatcher.xbe seems to have failed... So I went back a step, got the nkpatcher-67.xbe from nkpatcher10 and transfered it to my apps folder. Launched it from my dash (XBMC) and if it works it should goto evoxdash.xbe, but it just reboots back to XBMC I read on another th...

I did have an issues with a hybrid on a softmodded 1.6 but not SSD, I've had them working on xboxes and Hybrid on others since. ;) The xbox sat on my desk next to me now has a 500Gb Hybrid in it.

Thanks for the reply. Where would be a good place to get a cheap Aladdin chip? I found them on aliexpress for $6 USD or $8.40 AUD with free international postage But coming from china the postage could take upto a month, I'm sure you could find them locally but expect to pay a little more http://ww...

Re: Launching an ISO from the Hard Drive

The Virtual CDRom drive was ported to a few of the later bios, well not ported to the bios as such, but an NKPatcher was compiled that patches the VDrive into the bios. Ind-Bios 5003 & a few others are supported. Works just the same as the softmod. Located here. http://www.emuxtras.net/forum/vi...

Or you could go £35 for silent operation SSD. :D I'm sure I've read something recently and mentioned that hybrid and ssd wont work? I actually have a 1.5 version xbox on hand that I am the original owner of but I don't have any cables or a controller. One issue I always had with my xbox is that it ...

Re: Should I softmod xbox with faulty DVD drive?

You should definitely try giving the drive a clean and use a cotton tip with some window cleaner for the lens. I have found this to work with a few of my drives. You could go to the trouble of replacing the dvd drive belt and maybe some dri-lube for the gears... It is possible to order a replacement...

Re: Anyway to rebuild a XBOX with a faulty drive?

I have same problem with one of my consoles... I'd say you'd probably have to get a modchip, the Aladdin will do. Once modded you'd be able to install an alternative drive. If you wish you could lock the drive then remove the chip. I'm not sure how this would effect a softmoded console. But if your ...
