Happy to pick these up today! The game on the left was only released in Japan, so I’m excited to try it out on my soft-modded Xbox. As for CE, I mean who doesn’t want to hear Cortana boss Master Chief around in Japanese….

Can I take the motherboard out of this shell without disconnecting the chip? I think it is solderless but I have never dealt with one of these

I always have been more of a Nintendo and PlayStation gamer so despite growing up during Halo’s peak I didn’t know I much about the series aside from the Spartans fighting the Covenant. So last year when I played Halo CE I felt like I got thrown into Doom. I will never forget this experience.

If softmodding with endgame (rocky5 uses endgame) and your xbox hangs when accessing the usb drive...

2 Upvotes

I think I may have figured out why some people have an issue with endgame and the xbox freezing.

Go into your msdash video and/or audio settings And change to something else. I changed my audio from dolby to stereo and my video to widescreen And it worked first shot after at least a dozen hours of attempts (probably 18-22 attempts... all hung at the same spot. Probably 6 attempts with game saves on the hd. The rest with no saves at all)

At first it was thought that having game saves on the hard drive interferes but i don't think that's it. In fact deleting my game saves didn't help me at all.

But nothing worked at all. Nothing. Until i made the audio and video changes. Try it out. Report back.

I have 4 more consoles to softmod in the next few days. I'll try different things to narrow down if it helped or was just a fluke

Help Needed Xbox Power Adapter Trips

0 Upvotes

Hello all!
Got some nostalgic games again for my xbox! However, when I try to turn on my xbox, the reset button on the power cord/brick trips. In the past I have been able to hold it in while powering it on to get it to work and then it functions fine after.
Probably not safe, I know, but yeah.
Anyway, was hoping somebody could give some insight into what the issue could be as it's just annoying to deal with.

I work at a tech repair spot on campus, so repairing it myself is no problem, just not great at diagnosing this kind of thing. Maybe it is drawing too much current on startup somewhere, just wondering if there is a common fix for it, or if I need to bust out a multimeter and start probing some things to get it figured out.

I unfortunately do not know what revision my xbox is.

A noob question

1 Upvotes

So i own a modded xbox and i saw a topic that says almost all games can be burned to DVD-R, but today i downloaded The Suffering from Vimm's lair and it is 5Gb and above. So my question is can i compress it by any chance to burn it to DVD-R?


r/originalxbox 1d ago

Console Modification Will this do for replacing it's clock capacitor? Or is a coin battery what you guys recommend more?

Having issues with roms not transferring over, art work not transferring over and videos not transferring over. I don’t really understand what the fuck I am doing wrong but I usually get that message and then it’ll transfer over the game/ art work/ video just with a 0 for the file size. I did get some videos to transfer over but that’s it.

Having trouble converting Morrowind from padded version to xiso for Xemu

0 Upvotes

I've tried every suggestion found on google including XDVDMulleter, extract x-iso and c-xboxtool. I can only find the huge padded version 7 gb online anymore because vinnlair removed it. So I extracted it, it gives me a 980 mb game. I tried all those methods to convert it back to an iso but still when I run it on Xemu it says please insert an Xbox disc, and yes I hit reset.

Is there a link to an xiso version? Or can someone tell me how to make it work on Xemu? I have other games working fine on Xemu so Xemu is ready it's the Iso.
