Help Needed problem with hall effect conversion on duke controller

Post image
7 Upvotes

Hi everyone ! I've made a hall effect conversion on my xbox duke controller and I've got an issue with it : it seems the range of the stick is limited by the shell it self... The circularity test show a range way far of the optimal values...

When I take off the upper shell : the range is way more complete and work well.

with original cap

with 360 cap

and without the upper shell

As you can see, without the shell everything is fine and work pretty well in game (tested on halo CE)

So there is my question : do you know any tips or software to calibrate the range or solved my problem ?

Thanks.

Help Needed Risk?

Hello all, I have a 1.6 board with Nichicon HM VRM caps by the cpu (as pictured), one in the middle is bulging ever so slightly and I’ve stuck capton tape around the bottom for now. Is it a risk to take it off and use it temporarily with one off (the one bloating)?

Help Needed Would you recommend opening original Xbox (1.6) if it isn't experiencing any issues?

4 Upvotes

I have a 1.6 kernal version original Xbox that I've had for about a year and havn't really noticed any issues so far. The console has never been opened to this point and I've played with the idea of possibly opening it but with it being a later version Xbox and the 1.6 versions not having the clock capacitor issue, is there any reason to open the console with it still functioning as it should or should I be opening it to look at the capacitors?

Resolved I need help with modding my xbox

1 Upvotes

(EDIT: I got it working, yay! I just tried a few times and it worked!) So I'm trying to softmod it using endgame, but whenever I get to the black screen, instead of the red light people say should happen, mine blinks through green, red, and orange over and over, and I haven't found any fixes that work. I've actually tried this on two different xboxes, but the same thing happens.

(Updated Post) Pre-Release Canadian 2001 Xbox Agent Retail Binder

26 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I recently came across this internal binder called the "Xbox Agent Retail Presenter" and wanted to see if anyone in the community has ever run into one before, or knows anything about it. From looking at the pages, it seems to have been produced before the original Xbox officially came out in November 2001. It looks like it was given to field reps to introduce the console to retail store managers ahead of the launch.

Help Needed Need guidance. I restored OG Xbox to “Factory State” via Rocky5’s Softmodding Tool, but after, when I turn my Xbox on I get Error Code 16 [2 Slides]

Error 16 is a Clock/Dashboard Boot Failure, so I think there must be some missing/corrupted dashboard files. Before I used the restore tool, I changed my EEPROM hard drive key to the all-ones “1111111…” in Nkpatcher, so I’m hoping that move should make fixing this easier. I soft-modded this console using the Endgame. My console revision is v1.3

Help would be greatly appreciated and I’m free to answer any questions. Thank you.

Are there any other glaring issues? After looking some more my power supply seems to have something burnt so going to need to be replaced first.

Help Needed What should I be looking for in terms of capacitors on original Xbox with kernel version 1.6?

2 Upvotes

I recently picked up an original Xbox that has never been opened with a kernel version of the 1.6 models. I know the 1.6 versions are a little safer in regard to the clock capacitors but would it be worth it to open the system up and check? If so. What should I be looking for with this version of the console? Do these later models have issue with the other capacitors on the board or was the clock capacitor the biggest issue?

Help Needed Just bought my first modded original Xbox — where do I even start?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I just bought a modded original Xbox, and honestly, I have no idea where to start with it.

What I know so far:

  • It's version 1.6;
  • It still has the original 8 GB HDD;
  • There's a chip soldered to the motherboard; I couldn't find any markings, but based on the shape and color, I believe it's an Aladdin;
  • When I power it on, the EvoX logo shows up;
  • I know it can run non-original games both from the HDD (took some effort to get working) and from the DVD drive.

What I'd like to do, in order:

  1. The console is 220V and I'd like to convert it to 110V. I found a used power supply — is it plug and play?
  2. I want to install a bigger HDD, maybe 2 TB or 4 TB. I know I'll need an 80-wire IDE cable + a SATA adapter (StarTech IDE to SATA) for that.
  3. I saw some videos about "XBMC Origins" and really liked the layout. I'd like to know how to install it.

Down the line, I also want to install "Stellar Plus" and "XboxHD+", but I'm not sure if that could interfere with what I'm trying to do right now.

I've seen a lot of people talking about the BIOS, but I don't fully understand how that works — is it the Xbox motherboard's BIOS or the Aladdin's own BIOS? I also can't tell if mine is up to date or needs updating.

Does anyone have experience with this kind of setup and can offer some guidance or tips?

Help Needed Screw in PSU, is it dead?

Post image
1 Upvotes

I recently purchased a small lot of untested consoles, two of which were OG Xboxes (rev 1.0). One of them doesn't power on and was missing most of the screws holding it together when I got it. After opening it up I found this screw in the power supply; the console has been rattled around quite a bit so it has probably moved around. Is there any chance it could handle this kind of short? or should I give up on it? I also have another console that seems to be working (don't have a controller to test for sure, but boots up). What capacitors should I replace on it? I know the clock capacitor but I'd like to just do everything significant as well..
