(This is to be run on the PC.)

Ready for testing but not release status. I know it's rough and there's not a lot of error checking, but test it anyway. The delete button is intentionally disabled for testing. Please report grievous errors like files that it can't read, incorrect data, etc. ONLY USE ON DATA YOU HAVE A BACKUP FOR! Again, this works for ".etm" AND ".xbtf" files. Feature suggestions will be accepted after 1.0 is released. File management between the Xbox and PC is planned....

Xbox 1.0 flash chip failure

invalid@example.com (fdm) — Sat, 01 Jun 2019 05:53:26 +0000

A few years ago, I was preparing to upgrade my Xbox's ram by flashing IND Bios 5003 which supports both the ram and virtual cdrom patcher by xman. After a successful flash, I rebooted and was presented with an Xbox that would turn on with fan spin and shut down immediately. I assumed it was a bad flash and could do nothing about it at the time, so I set it aside.

Coming back to it now with better tools, I removed the HYUNDAI tsop from the board and onto a breakout so I could flash it with a...

[MOD] Aladdin XBlast

invalid@example.com (bennydiamond) — Fri, 31 May 2019 05:45:43 +0000

The good news keep on coming.

I've been working further on the code for those cheap Aladdin XT PLUS2 modchips you can buy on Eurasia.nu or Aliexpress.
I was able to enable bank control from within XBlast OS, just like on the upcoming XBlast Mod.

So basically, you reprogram the Aladdin's CPLD with this code, replace the SST flash chip for a SST49LF080A and you get a Aladdin XT that boots to XBlast OS and can load either a 512KB bank, 256KB bank or TSOP. Obviously, due to lack of...

Xbox controller emulator for Atmel AVR microcontrollers

invalid@example.com (ripdajacker) — Thu, 30 May 2019 04:58:22 +0000

Hello all

A couple of days ago I read a post on ogxbox.com regarding using a 360 controller on an OG xbox.
I decided to give it a shot.

The progress so far is that the chip registers as an OG xbox controller on all PCs but NOT on the Xbox. I've tried it with or without hubs, with different polling speeds and whatnot.

I would love the help of the community to accomplish this.

Debugging with VS.net 2003 + Attach to Process

I'm running WinXP within VirtualBox on Windows 10. I'd like to be able to debug C++ code running on console from within VS.net 2003. Is this possible with a green debug kit?

I'm building my code against XDK5933, and Xbox Neighborhood can connect with the kit.
I can deploy my binaries to the console, and execute, but when I attempt to either
1. Start Debugging in VS
or
2. Attach to remote console process, I get the following error message:

How to upgrade DVT-4 with 1TB Hard Drive?

invalid@example.com (Commander Shepard) — Mon, 22 Apr 2019 06:04:50 +0000

Seeing tons of tutorials for chipped retails, but none for actual DevKits.

How should you go about taking out the factory 5GB Drive, and replacing it with a 1TB?
Any extra, or (hopefully) less steps for Devs?

Xbox 1.4ghz Upgrade -> Finally done!

So after doing the 1ghz upgrade for a while i started working on the 1.4ghz upgrade.
As this one needs a speciall adapter pcb that's not available to buy i needed to design it myself.
Well after about 2 years off studying photos, datasheets and luckily some help off a DreamX owner i was able to finish the Design. And i was lucky that it worked with the first batch off pcbs!

As you may see the design is almost exactly the same as the DreamX design as i tried to copy that as close as...

Devkit Conversion - Serial USB Adapter

invalid@example.com (xbox7887) — Tue, 16 Apr 2019 17:15:40 +0000

This might interest those that want to turn their retail/debug Xbox into a fully-functioning development kit (optional 128 MB RAM upgrade and XDK software required to be truly indistinguishable apart from the Raptor card which is useless) without having to spend $500+ on one. It works on any version 1.0 through 1.2 motherboard and can be great for troubleshooting crashes of all kinds.

Everything is fully open-source to do what you please with. Any questions, feel free to ask....

Hello Fellow Xbox'ers

Today is the day that i finally got a 128mb xbox soldered up and running! I do have a few questions about it though. XBMC recognizes all the ram so that is good. What are some good games to test if all memory can be allocated? I already used xbmemtest and it gave me this result:

Is this the result i should expect? Or is there still something wrong? Since it does show unallocateable blocks.

Certain games won't run from XBOX HDD

Hello everyone

I have hundreds of games on my 1tb hard drive (with SATA adaptor) softmod SID 3.1 but I have found a handful that won't launch, neither in XBMC or UnleashX, they won't boot at all and hang and reset the console before anything happens, and I've tried more than one source of the game in some cases. I've also tried patching any XBEs that needed it on Qwix. These are games that I can't get to work:

hey sorry if this is a dumb question, but my router at home causes issues with ftp. plus my laptop keeps fighting a crossover cable. so i was wondering if there is an odde for the original xbox.

i was also wondering if i could somehow split the pata connection and add a usb-pata connector so i could just connect a usb cable to my tsop xbox's 80gb hdd.

Hey guys. In my quest to eliminate discs and cartridges from my collection, I've finally gotten around to my Xbox. I haven't touched it since I lived in Asia back in the early 2000's. I had bought it brand new and taken it to the neighborhood pirate game shop and had a modchip installed. This was probably 2003.

I fired it up for the first time since then and noticed that the boot screen shows a Matrix modchip and a very old version of Evox. I remember that I was only using backup discs and...
