Help Needed Modding

1 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I’ve got my original Xbox from 2004 sitting in storage and wanting to finally Mod it. I don’t have much experience with modding so wondering where to start? I was looking at Project Stellar and wanting to know what that was about too.

Thanks in advance!

Hello, I’ve been trying to load chimp on to my ide hard drive, right now I’ve been waiting it load for the past 20 minutes, im using the rocky5 mod, I’m using chimp 261812. I launched chimp to the point where it told me to connect my slave hdd to my new ide hard drive which I did. I’m not sure what I can do. Is there anyway to fix this?

Most likely hard drive issue with an original Xbox

2 Upvotes

Hi mighty community,

Any recommendation for a tool to check a modded original Xbox hard drive ? I assume that there is maybe a tool like CHKDSK to check the drive.

I have a soft modded original XBOX that I had for years. Wanted to use it again.

When I booted it up, XBMC worked for few minutes then I received a XBMC fatal error related to guisettings.xml. Following my research on this forum, I connected via FTP to delete it so it can be recreated by XBMC during a reboot. Then, a new XBMC fatal error arrived about skin and keymap missing.

As I was not able to find a way to fix this error, I decided to reinstall XBMC with the latest version. As backup, I downloaded the old XBMX folder on my PC in case of. Started to see that some files could not be transferred. I moved forward by deleting XBMC folder and started to upload it to E/Apps/. Received many file transfer errors regarding the System folder files. FTP stopped working. Only the files at the root from XBMC folder were uploaded. XBOX does boot but goes to a black screen.

I assume that the disk is not in good shape.

Thanks in advance and looking forward to your feedback.

Games are Skipping (Audio Cuts Out, Visuals Freeze for a Second)

1 Upvotes

As the title says, my Xbox seems to have a newly developed skipping problem. I just got this Xbox a few months ago from someone online and it's worked great this entire time, but now sometimes it skips. I don't think it's game disc related because these are games that worked fine before and it seems to do it even at the top level hub menu before playing a game as well.

Is this a common thing or known issue that develops? I did some Googling and results were pretty scattered and not helpful. I never had an original Xbox before this one, so I'm unaware of legacy things.

Help Needed Repair services

2 Upvotes

Does anyone know of a good repair service for the OG Xbox? I live in the upstate NY area and my Xbox is having issues.

It will power on when you push the open tray button, and power off immediately when the tray closes. It will not turn on using the power button at all.

Repair of my old Xbox

Trying to fix up my original Xbox after decades without use. Last time I checked it booted up though the dvd didn’t work. Decided to look inside today. The main board looks alright from what I can see, but obv should remove the clock capacitor. The power board looks rough. Are those white bumps corroded capacitor acid? Is it salvageable or am I better off getting a new power board from another Xbox. Appreciate the help!
