do you know if there is any graphic software that can help in this work? There's no skin-builder app, if that's what you're seeking. Expect to be working within XML files and XPR packages. It would already be a great step forward if the skins could be tested directly on the PC where you work, at le...

I'm with the others. I disable the Xbox boot animation and even XBMC's splash screen. I hit power on my Xbox and the green Xbox "X" logo appears, then it goes to black, then the next thing I see is the XBMC home screen. It's rather fast and that's how I like it. That said, I'm not sure how...

Hey, even if it's not modded, I'm sure we could help you out with that. ;) If you're on reddit, you can sign up for the free softmodding sharing chain. People mail softmodding tools to each other at no cost. I have a memory card and game floating around out there myself. More info here: https://www....

Dope man. Looks pretty sleek! I especially like the floor-mounted dog down there. Did you have to get a special bracket for him or is it some kind of gravity-mount?

If I jumper the adapter it only goes with master. Otherwise I get error 7. The jumper should either be cable select or master. The Xbox expects the dvd drive to be slave and the HDD to be master on the IDE cable. If i jumper it with Master the box start but gives no picture out. I then press on eje...

If you still need a copy, PM me.

I've used a "Diamond VC500 USB 2.0 One Touch" and "Hauppauge 1512 HD-PVR 2" with success. The One Touch is pretty crappy though. The software is also hot garbage and seems like it was designed for Windows XP. The hauppauge device works better but can also be a bit touchy on what ...

The site gets enough traffic to be worth it I guess. I report them when I find them, but admins here are pretty good about thwarting spam, even though it's a little quiet around here most weeks. It would be tragic if this forum was flooded with spam, but luckily they get deleted pretty fast when the...

It's definitely not as active as it was, but there's still a few of us lingering around. ;) There isn't really active development on the main project, but people still submit scripts and themes every once in a while. And, if something breaks, there's still folks around to help fix it. I think the la...

Looks like you've been busy.

Glad to see you making progress on this script. I'm tempted to bust out my dd-wrt router and start playing around with this.

That was brave to do your first slim box on a crystal case. It came out looking pretty good! How long did it take you? Looking at these photos make me think I should do one. The guides I've seen don't make it look that tricky. Personally I love the look of controller port LEDs in the crystals 8-) ht...

That would be pretty cool if it could be wired up as an Xbox video port replacement, but as it stands it is nice to see it as a plug-and-play concept.

What was your avip project? Got a link?

WhiteDawn dropped this on Reddit 2 days ago and wanted to share with you fine gents. He's developing a new kind of video adapter which should rival the expensive 1st party component cables in terms of quality. :D https://blog.dtho.mp/public/images/xosvp-side.jpg https://blog.dtho.mp/public/images/wi...

Rest easy, you have nothing to worry about. Rocky isn't known for releasing anything but quality software to the modding community and, beyond that, using an old Xbox as part of a botnet would be a lot of effort for very little reward. If someone has the skills to do that, they're much more likely t...

The boot animation was likely disabled through a BIOS setting. Do you know what BIOS your Xbox is using? To find out, go to XBMC > Settings > System Info. Look for "BIOS version". The process of how to re-enable the boot animation varies depending on which BIOS you have. Most BIOSes use a ...

Setup a virtual machine of Windows XP and install it there.

Make sure you're using an 80-wire IDE cable. http://i.imgur.com/sBk8xAe.jpg?1 Left: 40-wire cable | Right: 80-wire cable Besides that, it could just be that you're using a SATA adapter that takes a while to initialize. I've come across many of those. Here's a combination I've been using which doesn'...

I got an Xbox from Japan and swapped the motherboard with a 1ghz/128mb board but now I have this japanese-region motherboard and I want to mod it. It's a v1.4 board that I plan on doing a TSOP-flash with. My copy of Splinter Cell doesn't work because it's from the wrong region, so I figured I would ...

N64 Freak would be the guy to talk to. Send him a private message by clicking here. He built my upgraded Xbox last month and I've been loving it.
