Re: original xbox hdd partitions size glitch

The extended partitions ie. F:\ and G:\ are the only ones you should be reformatting. If you make the mistake and try to reformat the whole HDD you'll wipe the dash/softmod. With Chimp 261812 all you need to do is install it in Apps and use its format extended partitions menu option. It is self expl...

Re: Xbox showing garbled text after sending over games.

https://www.reddit.com/r/originalxbox/wiki/xbpartitioner As is clear from the screenshot you have 458GB allocated to the F:\drive so it must be formatted as Rocky5 suggested unless you split it to F and G with less than 250GB in each. Chimp 261812 is the more recently updated tool (better GUI) but e...

Re: Blackbolt Classic Final 2.0 on new XBMC4XBOX

Still using and enjoying this skin but I've come across a niche, minor issue. I've been sorting out my music collection recently and re-tagging/re-ripping/FTPing most of it to my two most used Xboxes both using this skin. What I've found is that if you enable the Xbox's "Visualizations" wh...

Re: what do I have and how do I update it?

Google HeXEn 2017 (Heimdall's Xbox Engineering disc) or Auto Installer Deluxe 4.53 and you should still find both very easily. The media you burn it to must be DVD-R as it is the only type compatible across the whole range of Xbox disc drive makes. ImgBurn is recommended simply because it's one of t...

Re: what do I have and how do I update it?

Any installer disc should cold boot (DVD-R/ImgBurn). Error 21 is a general error you get particularly when a dash won't boot for whatever reason. I think it is what you would get if you turn the chip off and the HDD is unlocked which with a new HDD, of course, will be the case. Either that or the da...

Xbox MS Dash Font

Does anyone here know if one of the fonts used by the main menu of the MS dashboard and some UX embedded skins can be found as a TTF? The font in question is the square one (not the logo 'font') which in the UnleashX UDATA folder 9e115330 is named a "Xbox14.xpr" and used for UX skins like ...

Re: the UnleashX fan issue:- If you change the speed of the fan up (or down I think) and then save the fan will immediately go to full speed 100%.

Re: Orginal XBOX nickname issue

The Network settings have nothing to do with the XBox's nickname - they're simply an option to change the network username (and password). As MrMajst3r indicated the nickname is an UnleashX dashboard feature. You only see it if the skin being used supports its display in its skin.xml. To change that...

Adding the new thumbnail images then just deleting the content of the Q/UserData/Thumbnails/Programs and then rebooting replaces them as the new primary ass...

Re: [RELEASED] XBMC Origins v1.0.0

I'd thought I'd give this skin a try on one of my Xboxes as an alternative to my XBMC skin of preference, Xbox-Classic v2.0. Just a simple question: when using XBMC Origins how the hell do you shutdown or restart XBMC/reboot? I've been through all the menu options that made sense, tried R3, which wi...

Re: Belt size, DVD rom

The same belts sold for use with the XB360 Samsung drives are generally pretty good replacements. The ones I've bought have all been 22mm diameter as they fit without significant stretching around a circular UK £1 coin which is 22.5mm. Profile is 1.2mm square. But I have seen others sold as XB360 dr...

Re: Need help finding Skin for XBMC

As usual Rocky5 knows his stuff. I'm 99% sure it is based on the Rapier Clarity Mod. Its certainly not vanilla Rapier and the Qualar and Elite mods don't have quite the same text backgrounds, they seem to use slightly more transparency and there are other significant differences too. This how it loo...

Re: what do I have and how do I update it?

Problems with FPTing are often encountered, for instance I had little trouble using a static IP and direct PC to Xbox (cross-over cable) when using a WinXP laptop. With Win7 I spent some time trying to get it to work using exactly the same method/setting etc but it refused to connect whatever I did....

Re: Looking for a UnleashX Skin (X Men 2)

I have getting on for 700 UnleashX skins archived and if I'd seen that I'm sure I would have remembered it. It's most unusual (unique?) having what I assume is a loading animation effectively morph into the main UX menu page.

If you find a source for it elsewhere I'd be interested too.

Re: Sound at splash, no sound after

Yes, that is often the most common and embarrassing cause of the 'problem'. It is so easy just to move the right stick of the controller (up/down = volume control) when you're on the main dash playing music or whatever and completely mute the audio. I don't think the controller has a separate, speci...

Re: xbox v1.6 does not recognize any HDD

You can lock a HDD on another Xbox with the eeprom from any other that's always been possible with ConfigMagic and Rocky5's updated Chimp 261812 makes doing that even easier. But, in general, HDD's on chipped Xboxes usually are left unlocked, as XC-3730C explained its almost pointless and will save ...
