Don't mean to hijack this thread but if using Media Center Master to generate .nfo files I notice there are 3 versions of XBMC to generate metadata for - pre-Dharma, Dharma/Eden or Frodo. For XBMC4XBOX 3.5 can somebody recomend which 'version' of XBMC MediaCenterMaster should generate .nfo files for...

If the xbox isnt a v1.6 I would do a tsop flash, chuck in the new hard drive and prepare it from Hexen - assuming the xbox is a pre 1.6 you could also remove the clock capacitor as well while you have the lid off

Still havnt sold this, if anyone is interested PM me with an offer

As posted previously, I believe the answer is yes provided they are Samsung ram chips and not the hynix ones

when you say the xbox freezes up with the x2_5035 bios do you get an error code or anything? It could be that the bios isnt looking in the correct path for a dash, so using a recovery disc such as Hexen or Slayers, ftp to the xbox and modify the .ini file to make sure it's looking for E:/apps/xbmc/d...

As proffessor_jonny says, you can't use an X3 bios with an X2 chip. The X2_5035 bios is a good shout, I personally like changing the settings via the .ini file on the hd although some people don't like the longer boot times associated with reading the file from hd If you wanted to use a 256kb bios s...

I've got a 1.4 xbox for sale with a X3 chip installed - this is the xbox which I managed to mess up the TSOP flash on. I've read online the tsop can possibly be saved but unfortunately I've had no luck. It's got a stock hard drive at the moment but I might have an 80gb sata hard drive I could get wo...

Thanks for the interest but this is now sold

Hi guys, I've got an Xbox debug kit for sale, I've uploaded some pics on picasa It's in good condition and hasnt been opened up so is completely standard. The only negative is that the fan is noiser then normal and if I were to use it everyday I would probably replace the fan. I've got an av & p...

Hi guys, I've got an xbox with an x3 chip and wanted to flash the tsop on it (It's a 1.4 xbox and the tsop chip says ST on it, so 256k non-winbond). After softmodding and pulling out the X3 I bridged the relevant points with some conductive paint and using Hexen, tried to flash a bios through Evox. ...

I've read a little bit about these custom bootup animations that you could inject into your bios - I've tried searching on Google but info is pretty scarce and I understand the main resource 'allxboxskins' went down a while ago. Does anyone have any more info on this or know anywhere these can be do...

I do with mine, I saw some pics on Xbox scene where the cap had leaked and corroded some traces on the motherboard and it seems to be the recommended thing. I'm to lazy to desolder, I just squeeze some thin snips underneath and cut the legs off!

I know it's not exactly what you're looking for but if you can't source an X3IR kit then you can maybe try this XIR kit.
Not so sure if you can get it powering up the xbox with the X3 enabled though

Thanks for the link cifa, that'll teach me to post for help without bothering to search the web properly! (hopefully your link can help others though). I managed to get Xlink working with a windows version of the kai engine running on my PC. I tried using DD-WRT but no luck - I think support has bee...

I think the XBMC build from Slayer 2.7 boot CD has an XBMC version with Xlink Kai built-in I'm not sure a 100% because I can't find the CD to test

Yeh bang on with this, cheers! looking forward to getting this working over the weekend

I might give the PC client a go providing its easy enough to get working on a Linux pc. Does no one use an old build of xbmc when doing this? I wanted to use the kai client on my ddwrt router as it looked quite neat to avoid needing a PC switched on. Unfortunately on their wiki it referenced a build...

I'd like to give xlink a go but don't have a build of xbmc with it in. Can anyone link me to an old t3ch build or similar? Cheers

Cheers for the reply, so increasing the DVD player cache under the settings tab in the GUI should help? Incidentally would that help with buffering for network samba shares? Youre right that iPlayer generally streams fast but this Xbox is for someone with a low broadband speed (2mbps I think) and us...

Thanks to the post from Xphazer, content from [removed] streams brilliantly on my xbox with 5mb ram cache. I've noticed however that when using iPlayer, the content does not cache (checked by pressing 'title' on the dvd remote and looking at video details while something is playing - cache value sta...

This sounds spot on, pm sent
