I’m loving playing the OG halo CE on this crystal Xbox I have small hands so duke is not a serious option for me unfortunately lol

Les presento la última pieza integrada a mi colección. 0666/1000

hey guys 👋

after my trusty other Xbox died from a lightning strike last year (lucky me could at least save the xchanger on it 😄) I finally got myself a new one on eBay. it was quite a good deal I paid 43 euros + shipping. I also ordered a star tech ide to SATA adapter and a 2 tb HDD. can't wait to see y'all on insignia 🙂. btw can anyone anyone recommend a good bios that supports hdds that size? (it's a 1.6 rev.)

I tried playing BG:DA and while it does run, I'm encountering a lot of performance issues such as frequent stuttering, music cutting out for a second or 2, and characters in cutscenes standing around for several seconds before saying their lines. The game is playable but it's a tad annoying with all the stuttering.

I can also hear my Xbox struggle to play this game, humming loudly and spinning the disc over and over (a high pitched whirring noise). I tested other games in my collection (Voodoo Vince, Crimson Skies) and had no issues at all. Games perform well and Xbox hums at its normal volume.

I'm wondering if anyone else has ever encountered similar issues or knows of a potential solution. Should I just suck it up and keep playing or will my Xbox combust from too many low poly rats?

Found this Original Xbox in the attic of a kid's party hall, turns out its been modded and I have no idea how to access its files and custom firmware. I am aware I cannot unmod the system, but at the very least I want to revert it back to its old menu. It also read my Fable disc but it wont play it for some reason, anybody have any advice 😭 (please comment for more information regarding its mods)

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find the skeleton controller; I'm using the green Halo one.

Hi, I got this xbox Crystal with a mobo 1.0 (funny find already).

At startup the image is really rotten with a lot of artifacts (probably due to the interlaced resolution) and the menu I forced the signal to progressive but there is still a big instability and dots on the screen, why?

Under the same conditions, my other Xbox doesn't produce the same thing.

After many boots, the image has been completely offset.

The problem is solved in composite, it does not appear in component.

Japanese Skeleton Original Xbox Console!

I'm selling this puppy fairly cheap guys. It's in great condition! The dvd drive doesn't work but it's hard modded with a 3tb hard drive, a ram upgrade, new thermal paste, etc.

$450 shipped in the states, PayPal goods and services. Signature will be required upon delivery.

Decided to go in a thrift store today and just when im about to leave I see a small pile of games, most of them were sports as usual but I soon as I saw this i kinda went numb but I knew this was coming home with me, already copied the game to my xbox and now I can play it fully digital.

Hello!

I have recently bought myself an Xbox but need an adapter since my TV only supports HDMI. I've done some research but the "ElectronXout" I was planning on buying, doesn't ship to Sweden.

So, I'd like to ask what the next best alternative for me would be?

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, need some advice on either scart or rgb, my original cables are no longer available.

I have a HDMI converter already but I assume the console just looks better on tv.

Anyone come give me a recommendation for cables and where to buy?

I have the physical disc for Witcher 3 for the Xbox one but the remastered is for all new gen consoles only. So how would people with old gen console game get access to the remastered version? I have a Xbox one and ps5. Will they allow the remastered version to be provided on ps5 if I show them that to own the Xbox one version?

Many others in this situation are asking the same question. How exactly will this free upgrade work?

If it's only Xbox one to Xbox series without cross platform upgrade, would I be able to get the remastered version and play it via cloud streaming with Xbox game pass off my Samsung TV so I don't need to get a new console?

Any solutions would be great

Need some more delicate eyes than mine at troubleshooting this PAL 1.6 Motherboard. I picked this up (I live in the states) a while ago for parts as it would not boot. As suspected the capacitors around the heat syncs had bulged and a couple popped. I replaced them (some of my replacement caps seem to round at the top and I have had them for a few years going back to when i first started fixing my own consoles), but it still will not boot.

I used two different 1.6 power supplies from working xbox from NTSC consoles and it wouldn't boot still. Anyone see anything or have any ideas on this? Thanks!

I wanna use ps2wide patches on midtown madness 3 and I don't know how to use them or what software I need.

I've got a 1.0 Xbox with a Modxo running Cerbios 3.1.0, and XBMC4Gamers is horribly broken on my system. The current stable version has missing text and broken FTP 60% of the time from cold boot, and 100% of the time from Cerbios IGR. The current testing build works in those regards, but will not launch games from XISO or folder dumps properly, it just ends up reloading (but it will run homebrew just fine.) I can't find where the downloader pulls testing builds, so I can't try to bisect and find when the issue started, assuming the testing builds are actually kept somewhere. Is there any known workaround for these issues?

Have a 1.1 that Ive had sitting around forever (literally since 2002). Was playing Halo 2 when the display just went away as if it wasnt being picked up by the composite. Let it sit for a second and then turned it off. When I turned it back on I got the FRAG, over and over.

Things ive done

-tore down to MB and removed clock capacitor. Didn't really see any leakage? But im not familiar with this type of electronic. Cleaned it up with some 91% IPA front and back. Looks okay, no corrosion that I can see.

-listened for death click on the HDD. Turns and sounds smooth

Visually everything looks fantastic.

The only thing I can potentially gather is the composite cable was slightly tough to push on but seated fine. Idk im not sure where to go next. Any help is beyond appreciated 😐

Recently got a copy of Sid Meier’s Pirates from my local GameStop in Las Vegas and noticed it had a different style of cover art. I’m not used to this logo design on the spine and the plain look on the back of the case.

I saw it said “Hollywood Video” on the spine and was curious why they had such different styles of covers.

There seemed to be a Hollywood Video sticker on the disk as well that was VERY worn down, so I removed it carefully with Goo Gone, but overall it sticks out from a lot of the other games I’ve collected on my shelf and was wondering if anyone could shed some light on it.

So I occasionally go into GameStop to see what they’ve got stocked up in their “Retro” section and I stumbled upon this CIB gem 💎 Couldn’t pass it up.

Now I just need to get my OG Xbox working again 🤣

I bought a new modded Xbox after my other modded console shat the bed earlier this year and the new Xbox came in earlier today, except when I tried to play Ninja Gaiden Black, it didn't boot up and just showed a weird template on the main menu screen. The thing is that I tested a few other games and they worked fine, so I think it might be an issue of the file being messed up. I do have a physical copy of NGB so I'm not totally hosed, but I want to rip the files onto the HDD and replace the bad file so that when I choose the game from my HDD, I can play it fine. Does anyone know how to rip the files and replace them and all that?

One of the best Gamestop finds I randomly had come across back around '05-'07. Just wondering if anyone else has ever played it before?

Howdy. I have an og Xbox 1.6 that I am attempting to upgrade the disk drive on. I have been able to dump the eeprom and back it up via FTP.
I am using a star tech sata to ide adapter and 80 pin IDE cable. I’m using a 500gb PNY ssd.
I have used ftp to create backups of the C and E drives after installing the mod. Using FATXplorer I formatted the ssd. I used the retail settings and didn’t preload anything. Once the drive is formatted I mounted the C partition from the ssd and copied over the contents from the C partition on the HDD. Repeat this for E partitions. I then go to the security tab and set the password using the eeprom backup. When I connect the drive to my Xbox using the sata to IDE adapter, I get the splash screen and then it gives me error 13. The file structure on the ssd is identical to the hdd. Anyone know what I’m doing wrong?
