You kids and your modchips. Back in 2005 we would just use a memory card, one of 3 games, and crossover ethernet cable to connect the PC to the Xbox and run modding software from that. Didn't need no fancy custom BIOS, we just used a slightly modified vanilla homescreen and the built in HDD for storage.
@rockapartie Күн бұрын
@@PhurPher Well, you obviously didn't follow the scene back then. Modchips for the OG Xbox were extremely popular due to significant advantages over a softmod; there are like a hundred variants from dozens of developers, because they sold like hot cakes. "We" also didn't use a "slightly modified vanilla homescreen"; many of us used XBMC (initially called XMP; still in active development as Kodi).
@PhurPher 7 сағат бұрын
@@rockapartie No, I don't. I was hoping for a reply like this lol. I never had a need to anything but softmod cause I didn't even know what could be gained with chips that I wasn't already getting from softmodding Never seen XBMC before either. Is that the same Kodi as the windows media center Kodi, or made by the same people rather?

If the community can come up with a way to pair a hard drive to the system without running a burnt disc with homebrew on it (ala Project Stellar) this might be the one for me. My OG Xbox has been out of commission for over a decade because it needs a new power supply, new HDD/SDD, and at the time it needed a new DVD drive to be able to run the app to pair the drive. Apparently you can use any old PC DVD drive with a modded console minus the ability to run original disks (a feature I DON'T need) but it would be great if I didn;t have worry about burning discs at all. As it stands I;ve been procrastinating on buying project stellar because of the price but if ModXo can do the same AND is cheap because it;s running on a Pico, this is the one. Getting a HDD/SDD is dead simple and getting a power supply shouldn't be too hard. The DVD drive was the worst part of the repair because price but if I can just remove it from the equation completely, that would be great. At that point I don't really have any excuses left to procrastinate on getting this thing FINALLY fixed. Edit: 15:59 "Such as Hard Drive set up" SCOOOOOOORRRREEEEEEE! This is the one for me. Hell I already have a regular Pico, but I'll probably just grab a Tiny and a carrier board. that way I don;t have to manually add all the bitty resistors. I'm Okay at soldering but soldering tiny things like Surface Mount Resistors is NOT my forte. Either way though, I might wait for the Prometheos port to have a little more time in the oven, but this is EXACTLY what I wanted. Cheap AND can set up storage without a burnt disc.

This thing literally saved my Xbox that would not boot without a modchip (for some reason), the previous one broke (one of those cheap alladin clones) and the thing sat on a box for years Now it's going strong with cerbios and tons of games ❤
@BinToss._. Күн бұрын
Iirc, part of an Xbox's boot code is stored on the IDE hard drive. These hard drives are paired to a motherboard with a password stored in the EEPROM. If the drive's password isn't wiped by a modchip, the hard drive can only be used by a motherboard that passes the correct password. If you don't have a mod chip or your Xbox dies, you can recover the hard drive's password with FATXplorer 3.0 beta 31 or later...if it's a Western Digital disk.
@JamieStuff 2 күн бұрын
The OG XBOX modchip scene has been stagnant for many years, primarily due to how easy it is to softmod the console. Now, with other mods being developed that require a hardmod (like Cerbios), demand for something other than the old Aladdin clones has picked up. Thanks to the community!

If I ever open my console again, I’ll solder a ribbon cable to the pin header and D0 and run it through a vent, and double-sided tape whatever modchip to the top of the case :D

This is awesome, especially if it allows for a relatively uncomplicated harddrive swap. Even the newer harddrives in the old Xbox are comming up on their 20th birthday, their lifecycles are definitely nearing the end. And with the harddrive gone, you need a cheap, relatively uncomplicated method to put in a new one, and Chinese pico clones are less than $5 each.

something not many people seem to do is solder the d0 motherboard wire to the chassis of the console (instead of console to chip) - it will do the same thing and not need to be removed if you remove the chip for maintenance or any other reason. d0 just tells the console to boot form the LPC header when grounded.
@GoTeamScotch 2 күн бұрын
Hmm? If you remove the chip with D0 permanently grounded, your console won't boot. Wiring to the chip is fine, and allows the chip to control D0 so you can boot from the TSOP if needed.
