How did you mod your Xbox?

Which formatter did you use?

You don't flash a BIOS on a softmod.

How is your Xbox modded? Did you do it yourself?

That's worrying - at 120GB you shouldn't see any corruption as a result of cluster size problems.

It sounds as though the easiest solution is to use XBPartitioner 1.3 to reformat your F partition, and make it use the whole of the rest of the drive.

Did you either A: format your F partition with XBPartitioner 1.3, or B: clone your original drive with CHIMP 2618? If no then that's probably your answer - partitions larger than ~250GB require formatting with newer tools that support larger cluster sizes. Have you checked the cluster size on the F ...

This may seem slightly off-topic, but I believe it is broadly related. The EU is asking for contributions regarding EU copyright rules, and they've just extended the deadline for comments to 05.03.2014 (that's March 5th for my American friends!): http://ec.europa.eu/internal_market/consultations/201...

Not just add the source, but then scan the source items into your library. Highlight source - White Button - Scan item to Library

Have you added your network folders into the library?

That's the i2c bus connection. It's used, among other things, to get direct access to the eeprom. If you fit an X3 chip, and it will boot a standard BIOS (X2, Evox M8+, iND-BIOS), but won't boot an X3 BIOS, then you haven't soldered pins 13 and 14 properly.

It's the socket you plug your optical cable into on the Xbox. It's not on the Xbox itself, it's on the component cable or high-definition adapter.

...as do some of the third party component cables.

If you want a completely clean system, here's what you do - but you have to be absolutely certain, because this will get rid of all apps, gamesaves, etc. from the hard drive. Boot with HeXEn. the Xbox boots, the LED turns red, ~40 seconds later the menu appears. Select option 2.2.4. PAL Xbox, SC gam...

What won't work? You need to provide a few more details about what you did, what response you got from the Xbox, etc.

If there's nothing on there that you want, then cleaning the hard drive is easy. HeXEn reformats the C partition when it installs the softmod (along with the X, Y and Z partitions), and once that's done cleaning up the E partition is a relatively simple manual task. I'll write a quick tutorial this ...

Find evox.ini on your Xbox. Where it is depends on which softmod you installed. Edit it to include this section:

There's no need to SHOUT. Create a directory E:\Emulators\ Put your Emulator in there e.g. E:\Emulators\name_of_emulator\ Put the ROMs in the appropriate subdirectory inside the folder for the individual emulator. You can launch the emulator from your file manager - just navigate to E:\Emulators\nam...

I'd always put x2.5035 on a 1MB TSOP, which is a 512kB BIOS. If you're using Evox to flash a BIOS then it doesn't matter which size you pick, because it will resize the BIOS to fit the TSOP/chip, provided that the chip is the same size or larger than the BIOS.

Could you humour me, and try switching it to PAL-50? The video output definitely changes after the splash screen, even on a normal boot. For SD it switches between 480i and 576i. Unfortunately I can't remember which way round it is, because my current TV doesn't display its resolution when it change...

Oooh. That's interesting. Perhaps there's something about your video settings (in the eeprom) that Frosty's hand-modified BFM BIOS disagrees with. If I get time this evening I'll dig my 1.0 TSOP box out of the garage and test it here to see if I can reproduce the symptoms. A few questions: - Is it P...

You'll get loads of answers to this sort of question. :) I'd always leave the first booting dash in any BIOS as C:\evoxdash.xbe. because that's where all of the autoinstaller discs put the dash if you do a rebuild. It's the closest you get to a standard in the world of Xbox modding. If I wanted XBMC...
