    yes in a way. If your console is set to ntsc and you want to play a pal game it can be that the pal game has no 480p/i support but only has 576i support. In this case the console expect 480p/i but gets 576i and it black screens because it cant show 576i.

    What bios do you use? Is the console set to ntsc or pal? Are the games pal or ntsc? what games are the some other games? How is the console connected to the tv? Most of the time when games do black screen its something with the region. Like a PAL only game will black screen on a ntsc console for example.

    You have multiple ways to clone a drive option 1: use an hardware cloner like this: https://www.startech.com/nl-be/hdd/satdock2reu3 to clone the hdd to another hdd, you don't even need a pc for this. option 2 (free): if you have an pc you can use cloning software (like hdd raw copy tool) that makes a image of your drive (cluster by cluster) and then copy the image back to your new hdd. (you can store this image file on a nas somewhere as backup) here you can find hdd copy tool: https://hddguru.com/software/HDD-Raw-Copy-Tool/ Option 3 (free for now): use fatxplorer beta to take the content off the first drive and store it on your pc, then format the 2nd drive and put the data back. https://fatxplorer.eaton-works.com

    Huge shout out to Nemesis who gave us the chance to test his new fan mod for the original xbox. The mod will be released soon. Keep an eye out in his store XeniumMods! Note: This is still in beta. There may be adjustments in the final product. Some weeks ago I received the package from Nemesis with the dual fan-mod. After I ordered the correct fans I started to build it into one of my spare xbox consoles. The console is a v1.0 with cerbios flashed to the tsop. The only extra mod I did was replacing the GPU heatsink with the 12v mini fan with a heatsink with one of a later model. Parts I used for this mod: Noctua NF-A6x25 FLX, 60mm 2x Noctua NF-A8 FLX, 80mm 3pin fan splitter (I used another model) Step 1 Replacing the stock fan: I decided to replace the stock fan with a 60mm noctua fan. First remove the old fan from the case. You need to place the noctua fan in the bracket (mind the direction of the fan, the fan must blow air out of the case) If you install the fan in the bracket you can add the mounting tabs to the bracket like this: Then put it in place where the original fan was: To power the fan I choose to use the 3pin header where the old 12v gpu fan was powered. In later revisions (v1.1-v1.4) there is no fan header there but the holes are there. With the later models you can solder the fan header there (included in the kit). Keep in mind if you use this fan header the fan spins at 100%. For v1.6 boards there is no way to solder in an extra header, for this console you need to use another way to power the fan) You can power all the noctua fans from the one 3pin header if you want. The stock fan is rated at 3.2w. The 60mm noctua fan is rated at 1.44w and the 80mm at 0.84 each, so this would be a total of 3.12w for the 3 fans. There are 2 tabs in the kit to close the holes from the stock fan on the underside of the xbox: Step 2 Install the fan shroud: To install the fan shroud remove these 3 screws from the motherboard: Then put the shroud in place and put the screws back in place: Step 3 Installing the dvd remove kit pcb: NOTE: If you use a modern bios like CerBIOS you can skip this step because CerBIOS has an option to completely remove the dvd software by setting "DriveSetup = 2" in the cerbios.ini on your c drive. If you use an older scene bios like ind-bios, x2, x3, evox m8 or project stellar you need to trick the xbox that there is a dvd present. Otherwise you will get stuttering in the dashboard when you go to the file explorer. I just did stick the pcb on the back of the console with double sided tape. Step 4 Install the dvd remove front bezel holder: Remove the front bezel of your dvd drive and put it on this part of the kit: And screw it in place with the 2 screws where the dvd drive originally was screwed in. I also routed my molex power for the hdd drive like this. Step 5 Install the 80mm fans: Place your fans like this so they blow to the motherboard. Here I used a 3pin splitter cable (with this version I can attach 4 fans to one fan header). Also install the 2 cylinder spacers to support he bracket. Screw the fans tight with 2x4 screws and use one of the 2 top peaces to do this (1 black and 1 blue) Step 6 Install the hdd drive in the caddy: Remove the dvd drive from it's caddy and install the 3d printed hdd holder: Then install the hdd drive in it and screw the hdd from the bottom: Step 7 Start to assemble back the xbox: First you need to install the HDD back in the xbox, but before you do this connect the 2 80mm fans to the 3pin header on the motherboard. Some test results: The fanspeed setting I used: in bios 100% in dash 20% xbox output fan is always at 100% (60mm) The noctua 60mm fan is even at 100% reasonable quiet, not really loader than the stock fan at default speed. In dash at 20% for the 80mm fans they do not come over the sound of the output fan when in game at 100% you hear them if you turn the sound down but its not an distracting sound. These are all noctua fans, these are known to be silent, other fans can give different results, maybe yours cool better but have more sound, ect The temps I had where: after playing colin mcrae rally 2005 cpu:39 mb:36 after playing pro race driver cpu:35 mb:37 XeniumMods Store

    I rarely play roms on the ogxbox, but I do the 128mb ram mod for the smoothness of my dash, as scrolling in xbmc4gamers is more smooth with 128mb ram than with the stock 64mb. You can easy see the difference there.

    To use a IDE to Sata adapter you will need a 80 wire IDE cable. Red Startech Adapter: Supports UDMA6 There are reports that the adapter can have problems if paired with the version B of the samsung DVD drive. Blue Startech Adapter: Reported to be working with UDMA4, everything higher is reported to be unstable. You can't use an dvd drive with this adapter Delock 62510: Supports UDMA5 (UDMA6 not tested) Cheaper than the startech adapter. No problems reported Delock 61702: Supports UDMA6 EOL but you can find them new on ebay No problems reported Renkforce RF-4886682: Supports UDMA5 (UDMA6 not tested) No problems reported China Adapter 1: Supports up to UDMA4 (Stable) Tests did show it can support UDMA5 when there is no dvd drive attached. How to identify: 2 big caps and writing jp103-5 or RXD-629A7-7 on them Please take note that there are varius version of these which are look all almost the same. The JP103-5 is the best one. All others are missing 2 resistors which makes them boot very slow. If you add a resistor to R4 (0603 - 101) and one to RH1 (0603 - 103) you lower the boot time and they work like the JP103-5. You can save up to 30 sec on boot which are reportet. You COULD also replace the cheap caps with 470uf 25v caps but that not realy needed. China adapter 2: Supports up to UDMA4 Does not boot when UDMA5 is used You can't use an dvd drive with this adapter China adapter 3 (Not recommended to use): This adaptor makes the xbox boot real slow (around 50/51 seconds) and sometimes won't boot at all if used together with a dvd drive. Boot times are better when you don't connect the DVD drive. Not tested with UDMA higher than UDMA2. Edit: Reported to Support UDMA6. The the build quality can be vastly differently on each one. ' China adapter 4 (Not recommended to use): The WLXKG-863B adapters are NOT recommended! Reported as unstable China adapter 5 (Not recommended to use): The HXSP-0908 adapters are NOT recommended! Only works with UDMA2 This adaptor doesn't have a jumper to set master/slave/cable select. This version can only be used without dvd drive. DIGITUS-DS-33151: Does not work, don't waste your money on this adapter

Its features include an integrated IRC, Telnet, and X-Link Kai client; dashboard Shoutcast radio station streaming; and the ability to download the Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) to be used as a background.
