How to tell what version original xbox you have
Рет қаралды 172,079
6 жыл бұрынa tutorial video showing you how to determine what Version (re-vision) original Xbox console you have. this is helpful if you are looking to either soft mod or hardmod your Xbox.
A mistake was made in telling if you have a v1.4 or a v1.5 you need to measure pin 2. I showed pin 1 also you could measure pin 9 while the console is powered on. it should be 3.3v if not it's most likely a 1.5. though there is a lot of speculation around the existence of the 1.5 so who knows. wish I would have caught my mistake way earlier

I found my Xbox on the thrash and silly me brought it home, after like 5 minutes i learned my mistake... it had an infestation of roaches!! i had to quickly bring the spraycan. I spent like 3 hours of cleaning two coats of roach shit and killing the buggers. When i checked the PSU and it had some sort of "Fuse" covered by plastic, after scraping the plastic covering the fuse, it looked like it had blown. So i made a small bridge between both ends and put it together. My Xbox motherboard has much less capacitators. I tried searching for videos and screenshots of my motherboard but none of the 100+ screenshots that i found seem to match the motherboard that i got. I could not even find the Clock cap... now you mentioned an Xcalibur video chip, it seems that i have that, and that would mean i have a v1.6? The xbox came with a Samsung DVD Drive, an 8GB HDD Western Digital and the PSU which says Delta. After a couple days i ordered the AV Cables, two controllers and a power cord, since whoever threw didn't got rid of those. The XBOX workd perfectly after cleaning it and bridging the PSU fuse. I want to get a new Fuse but there is absolutely zero info regarding the Fuse Voltage/Amp. When i launched the Xbox I noticed it had a TON of Emulators ranging from NES, SNES, N64, Sega Master/Genesis and MAME. I thought 1.6 was hard to softmod, but i can't seem to find any sort of chip installed to the motherboard. I am also trying to update the softmod launcher but i know very little about such things. For now, everything works perfectly and i am kinda getting attached to this roachy xbox console.

Yeah all Xbox versions can be softmodded no problem. The 1.6 just doesn't have a Tsop chip like the others so in order to hardmod it needs a modchip. The LPC also needs to be rebuilt Microsoft was trying to fight the modders but in the end didn't do to much. I really appreciate you saying that!

I bought a OG Xbox at an estate sale few weeks ago. According to your video I believe I have a 1.6b. Opened it up to clean and it has everything you said that a 1.6b would have. Unfortunately I have to troubleshoot it because it won’t display video but it does turn on. Also disc drive is broken as well. Hope I can restore it.

This video is the reason I found out the Xbox I've had for the last 18 years is a 1.6b. I have the Xcalliber encoder chip and the Hynix ram modules. The manufacture date is 2005/04/25 which means it was one of the last consoles off the production line. I think there were fewer than 4 months of consoles produced after mine. Edit: my power supply doesn't resemble any of those either. Want me to send you a picture of mine?

I absolutely loved the video about the XBOX revisions, its nuts on how many revisions of parts they had as well. I own a Hitachi DVD drive in my Xectuer chipped 1.6. The drive sounds like a Hitachi from a XBOX 360. But in all fairness its the best drive from my experience with drives. Samsung and Toshibas I had struggled with loading burned discs, I have had both variants of the Phillips drives burn out on me. I had a Thomson that had the motor for the laser stops. But I never had an issue with my Hitachi drive. :D With the HDD's The first one that were inside was the Seagate U Series 5 10GB with then the first 8GB HDD. Then another WD came out which has 8GB same capacity. Then the Seagate X series came out with 10GB. Weirdly enough both WD's were 8GB. Might be wrong but I got two WD's similar from the video and if you look at the model they are both have the 8GB Capacity model number. (WD80???). Hope this was interesting to read. :D

It is crazy, I will say the Ps2 had alot more variations through its life cycle, which definitely makes the Xbox a more simple to mod/fix console. Thanks for sharing your experience with DVD drives it definitely helps others and me give better recommendations when I'm asked, course no drive is perfect really just depends on how well it was treated. I won't put anything other then perfect disc's in any of my consoles. as it stands now I have a working Phillips, a Thomson that barely works, a Samsung that works fine but the tray always gets stuck. And maybe some others I still have a few Xboxs on the shelve that I haven't gotten around to messing with (probably should because of the clock cap)

@@TechnoOnTop Glad to know that I am a help to others. Yeah to be fair, I have heard that Hitachi's have issues with lasers but personally I have never had a issue. Honestly, I believe its the more that the drive is used the easier it is for it to fail. Its like a car, as long as its mantained, it will be a strong runner :P The PS2 varients are complicated.

After taking his to soft mod it, I replaced his with a v1.6 so he could still had an Xbox, it happened to have a Hitachi drive, and I can also confirm it definitely loaded faster after comparing with the v1.0.

Great video, I used it as a refresher recently for TSOPing one of my 1.0 consoles. Are you sure you're testing against the right pin for a 1.4 vs 1.5 though? You said to test between pin 2 and any of the grounds near the screw holes, but it looks like you're actually connecting your red lead to pin 1, not pin 2. I ask because I tried the same thing with my very first original Xbox, the one I literally spent my childhood playing Halo 2 on, and when using the pin you specify, I get the same results, but when trying what appears to actually be pin 2, I do get a resistance value above 1.
@TechnoOnTop 6 жыл бұрын
you know its funny, i halfway think what I showed was wrong... it wasn't me who came up with that test.....your right every console i test it on i get the same value.... so its probably misleading or maybe the console needs to be powered on? or like you said its the wrong pin lol ugh...i will say that that board is definitely a 1.5 but not based on that test its what the system information in XBMC says.. thanks for watching!
@xb0xisbetter 6 жыл бұрын
That is the thing, my results are the same going by your video, but my dashboards do report it is a 1.4 console. Other sources also say to test against pin #2. It looks like in your video you were probing pin #1. I bet if you did probe pin #2 on that console, you would be validated.

Thanks for the very clear differentiations! Very informative ! I've got the excalibur chip with samsung memory, and its modded with a Duo X2 GS so it can't be that hard can it? I do wonder what the "switch" on that chip does though... if I informed myself right it's a dual bios chip and one chip works for versions 1-5 and the other for 1.6 and 6b, the swich is supposed to make those changes. I don't even know what mine is set at. Though I have one question. Isn't it so that the very first original xbox had a slightly weaker graphics chip than the later versions? You could see it by the (original, not modded) dashboard alone if I remember correctly. Not sure what the distinction exactly is but if I remember right from the days they were very much different. Any info about that?
@TechnoOnTop 5 жыл бұрын
no problem thanks for checking it out! yeah that switch on the chip switches between the 2 memory banks, it would be set on the BIOS specific to the 1.6's which is M8+ or some variation on that. i can remember reading something on that but i cant really remember the details of it.the Xcalibur chip has issues playing certain games at 480p... jetset radio future is one of them....there are a few others but im not sure off the top of my head.....they were probably other Sega games. or games made by that same studio.

A fast way to tell if an xbox is at least TSOPable and RAM upgradable, (1.0-1.5), is by looking at the AV output connector. 1.6 boards have a connector that shows some of its metal shielding across the bottom. 1.0-1.4 boards don't show any internal metal shielding. Not positive about the 1.5 boards cause I've never seen one. But it'll save you when you come across xboxs with the MFG date sticker wiped clean.

I’ve asked this question in other places in the past hour or so but I’m still looking for answers. Clock Capacitor Question I got my Xbox off eBay a few weeks ago and was made in January 2004, months before the 1.6 version. I’m unsure whether modifications were made or not, because the controller I got had the control sticks replaced with PS2 ones. Also my power strip keeps getting unplugged and whenever I boot up my Xbox after this it takes me to the clock set up, but if I power it off and on without being unplugged, it takes me straight to the menu or game. So could the clock capacitor potentially be already removed or not? I haven’t opened it up to check but I am curious for obvious reasons. And by the way, I unplugged my Xbox, plugged it back in seconds later, powered it on, and I get the clock menu, but the stickers are still there.
@TechnoOnTop 3 жыл бұрын
It would seem thr clock cap is bad from what you're describing, you should really pop it open and get rid of it, so long as it's not a 1.6. The dates aren't the most accurate to go by. If it happens to be a 1.6 then you will need to replace the cap, but I'm doubting it is, no cap in a 1.6 puts the console into a boot loop. Anyways good luck thanks for watching

The one currently in my build is a 2 row delta. I would say the big thing as far as reliability goes is just making sure that those big big solder connections on the connector are good, and to always hook it up to a surge protector. Iv never had another xbox power supply fail on me aside from the one when I was a kid.
