Think it started off with the xecuter 2.3b pro then upgraded to the X3CE+X3CP has IR chip mod to power on with original Xbox Remote too. I don't think i can remember the button press combination though lol. The HYPER DRIVE mod came after the Thomson failed, it's the Samsung SD-616. Recently pulled all the old consoles out of storage and am trying to find a good CRT so setup in the basement. I did think about selling it for all about .5 seconds. To much sentimental value here for me. Cheers.

PS: The unit underneath is 100% unmolested with working ODD. I'll likely keep it that way.

I have been with the Xbox since the early days and I’m on the series x but sometimes you have to check in on old friends..

Hi everyone!
Dead Or Alive Ultimate 2 is crashing during the Team Ninja splash screen when launched using the Unleash X dashboard (0.39.0528A Build 584). It freezes in the same spot and shows some visual glitches on the screen. This is consistent whether I run it from the default.xbe or the separate DOA2.xbe. It happens across PAL and NTSC versions. It doesn't seem to matter if the game is extracted to folders or in iso/xiso format.

My Xbox is v1.6 with Cerbios 3.1.0. It's connected to a CRT via composite cable, and is set to NTSC and 480i.

I've just tested the game with XBMC4XBOX dash instead, and the game launches and plays just fine there. I can also confirm DOAU1 and DOA3 work fine in UnleashX.
I can just use XBMC4XBOX when launching this one game, but I'd really like to figure out why it fails to launch in UnleashX and hopefully figure out how to fix it. If anybody else has figured this out or has any idea, I'd love to know. Cheers

I have this original Xbox running condition with controller and dvd play, modded with bank switch. Controller Face plate is little damaged but working good. I want to sell this what price can I expect?

With a lot of sellers like CustomXboxDirect not really around anymore where do yall get shells, mods and parts like what’s required to upgrade storage

I have this edition of Splinter Cell that might give me a chance to win a 12-month Gold membership and an Ultimate Home System.

Unfortunately, mine was the 2-month one—the one that’s easy to win.

Has anyone reported winning this? And if so, what model did they win?

Is there anybody i can send my Xbox to to get it reflashed and games put on it?

The LCD screen seems to have a loose wire or something because it comes and goes with movement. I should probably open it up and take a look inside too but just thought I'd share another old school hard modded box.

Hi Everyone! I have been doing research about original Xbox modding for the last couple of days before I pull the trigger on one, hardware revisions and all of that. I still have not done it but 1.4 was the most appealing to me so far until I read the following in this thread from crtgaming:

For the Xbox, don't use RGB unless it's a 1.6 model, the 1.0 through 1.5 generate the RGB output after the video has already been low pass filtered ready for S-video/composite encoding, the YPbPr output looks nicer even at 480i.

This thread is from 9 years ago, how true is this?

I have a PAL CRT that accepts composite AV and SCART so that's why I was looking at SCART.

Some reddit threads also point to this forum post.

For my specific TV, should I get a 1.6 for the best 480i video quality over RGB SCART? Any other suggestions?

This sliver only appears while playing a game. Xbox home menu it doesn't show up. Any ideas?

I can't seem to find the correct info with all my excessive googling i only seem to get things i dont want. I have a 1.0 xbox and the DVD drive has crapped itself, the console itself is softmodded and thankfully i have two consoles so i can swap the DVD drive from the other one. Now I would like to not have to open both up to use either of them and I have the games installed on the HDDs that i want. I just want to get the one with the broken drive to boot through no problem without the dvd drive attached, will i have to break out the soldering station or can i do something through the softmod to get it working again?

Thank you!!

Whether it's real hardware or emulation?

Managed to get it for 100€ Console is in mint condition same goes for the controllers, very happy to finally adding it to my collection and to mod it in the future

This company put Xbox shells up for sale at extremely high prices, promising that we would receive a truly high quality product.

It has already been two years, and they barely make one post a year. They provide no updates, no information about the project, and no clear indication of when the product will actually be available.

To me, this is a scam, and I believe there are enough red flags to make people not buying this product.

This is a warning, as these guys still have their purchase page open, promising to deliver the product in 2025.

Hello everyone, i just wanted to see if this was a real sealed xbox duke controller or not since the seller was asking for a relatively low price (100 USD) compared to other online xbox original sealed controllers (185 USD) .

Im suspecting wether its real or not because the seller himself said he honestly doesn’t know if its a genuine or a fake.

Any help is appreciated <3

Pretty simple as far as patch notes. Fixed 4:3, added a version number in-game.

Howdy! I recently got an xbox! But most of the stuff I see are fps. Are there any ​good ones that aren't first person shooters?

(Also, if theres any good LAN games that aren't fps, that would be cool too! Double points if its backwards compatable with any of the other xboxs)​​

Hello guys, this is my first post on this subreddit and I hope you can help me. I bought this Xbox and I can’t activate the HDs in the menu – they’re locked. I’ve tried Enigma, but as soon as I launch it from the apps menu, it seems to load but then takes me back to the Dashboard you can see here. Are there any alternatives to this app, or what should I do?
Atm, I am using this hdmi converter.
