Ahh right , thanks , I remember making a crossover cable years ago to connect my pc direct to an xbox using two ethernet cables and some crimps , a proper Heath Robinson job but it worked if I remember correctly . Yes I think I will plug them both in to the router , I take it the one you have in the...

The bug in the UnleashX FTP client is that when you use it to get a directory of files from a remote location it misses some files from the list, so in UnleashX you have to add the destination, then send the files from the local Xbox to the destination i.e. id UnleashX is your client then you shoul...

I will try post a photo later on today if I get time, thanks.
It boots games ok too so its just the immediate power on the main issue.
If it ever happens I would like to make an arcade cab at some point so this board could be a candidate for that I suppose.

Thanks for all the help guys , I found another xbox in the loft , my plan is to get them all going and dish them out to friends so they are not just sitting there gathering dust. This one would not switch on at all so I found the dreaded burst capacitor and removed it , cleaned up as best I could an...

Hi again , so this is the xbox I softmodded almost four years ago as a replacement for the one my friend bricked (which I am in the process of sorting in another thread ) It is a crystal 1.6 xbox and boots in to xbmc r29407 in Pal as there are no hd options showing. Now I am going very carefully wit...

Thanks again Heimdall
Yes I do have the eprom somewhere I will hunt it out, but check the cables first.
Thanks for the link also, I have another 2 xboxes ( four total) in the loft so will check error codes there first.
Cheers.
I have been sidetracked also lol

I fear my xbox I have just retrieved from the loft might be harder to fix. I soft modded it for a friend but he bricked it trying to upgrade xbmc. When switched on the light goes green, xbox flubber then hangs a few seconds then error code 7 . It fails to boot to Hexen also :-/ What are my options i...

Sorry didnt see the first reply lol

First of all you need an urarar programe on your pc, I used rarzilla. Then you need to download what you want from a reputable source ; I used megaups.me as they reccommend that. You will download a folder full of rar files so you then double click on the first one and select extract at this point i...

Make a new folder on the desktop called coinops and point whichever unrar tool you use too that.

Small world lol I went to high school at St Leonards in Durham, lived at Lumley!
Did you get it working mickeyboy?
Overnight I transferred 30gb of 60ish full cops to xbox, its still going.
Visionary allready on, looks good but lots not working however I need to update to latest pack I believe.

Just re read the thread an I see you are using the lite version , that shouldn't take too long to extract ...good luck

Rarzilla just worked for me , i would try that before downloading again as its a biggie :-) be warned it takes ages to extract though . http://www.philipp-winterberg.com/software/rarzilla_free_unrar.php If you do have to start again I used megaups.me the official site and it came down very fast 1.6 ...

Thanks , it is still in the loft at the moment but will retrive soon and advise.

Hi , I did a softmod a couple of years ago for a friends xbox and installed xbmc , I took a copy of the eprom , he eventually messed with it ftp ing and it got bricked , green screen with error code but not sure which code but won't boot dvds either. I sofrmodded him another which is still going str...

Thanks , I have done that now , all working great .
Cheers

That's great , all done now , thanks again to all the help I have had so far , cheers for that . Heimdall , hexen is very clear and user friendly ( when I took care to read properly ) it is appreciated. My Xbox is now booting to a lovely piece of xbmc baked pi (thx to BuZz and the pi people)and with...

Sorry I re did it and saw your instructions second time ,oooops .....

Do I have to format using the xpb partitioner program on f and g ?

Hmm I don't know what I did before but not this as no password needed before lol
It sets away after choosing the pal aptions above but then it arrives at the XPB partitioner screen , what do I do on there ?
It shows lots of small partitions then f and g at about 150 ish each
