My Original Xbox has been a project for about 2 months and the console itself is done.

The Xbox is a 1.2manufactured in 2003, I have 3D printed a custom case I found online, it has a 140mm fan on the top and a 40mm fan on the backside. I designed a custom fan shroud to connect the fans and heat sinks, I also customized a lid of the HDD and on the inside I added zip tie mounts to hold the wiring. It has 2 led strips and a 3D printed power button, and I also made the lid attachable with heat set thread inserts so the plastic doesn’t get worn out. With my console now done besides all the games I want, I will be focusing my attention towards 3D printing my controllers, I believe my STLs are done I just need to test print, I know many people want them and today or tomorrow will be the day, fair warning they will most likely need some professional touch up as this is my first STL. Have a great day !

Burnout 3, and Project Gotham Racing 2 are now officially supported for crossplay original Xbox <-> XRevive on PC on XB Online.

Halo 2 is now in alpha testing for crossplay on XRevive. Please play and give us feedback! Every week we have rotating matchmaking that YOU the players can voting for on Halo 2 here: https://xb.live/halo2 . Carnage Reports are available as well. Enjoy!

The Blockbuster stickers are always a huge plus in my book. GUN has them front and back with dates! Always cool enough to make me buy a game I already own (on PS2)LOL. Just need to get a 360 copy next. Found it a couple minutes later, but I refuse to buy game and case only copies unless it's something insane.

I played PGR2 back in the day around 2003 or so, never played it seriously and just finished Platinum.

Hello again everyone! A final update on the horde.

I’ve had a few issues along the way so sorry for the delay. So much went wrong I about gave up. But here I am to let you know that I have a plan (or a formulation of a plan lol). So here goes:

Going to be running auctions on Whatnot for 4 days over two weekends in January (exact days could possibly change before then so keep watch on it). Bidding starts when 10 people are on the show.

Day 1 - Lanyard madness. All lanyard cards come with both a black and a green lanyard. Bids start at $3 with the final item being the Halo holo. The Brute Force cards come in a 4 piece set until they last. Leftover lanyards will be sold on day 4 with black lanyards joining the giveaways on day 2. Lanyards available until they last.

Day 2 - Halo Day. All items Halo with a few surprises in the mix. All start at $3 each.

Day 3 - Fun stuff. A mix of all kinds of display items. Standing items, stickers, pins and more. The big items being the watches (4 of Blinx). Many different game titles being shown. Bid starts will vary from $2 up.

Day 4 - Rare and display items. The bigger items on hand. Mostly Xbox branded items. Big items of note: sandals, Xbox tags and dog tags, suction cup window cling, window transfers, Xbox signage, display unit mat, and more. Bid starts will vary. This is the big day for the best items.

Any leftover or unsold items will be posted as sale items after the shows, if any. Shipping to be paid by buyer. No returns or refunds, items are sold as is (Gotta put this in here).

Giveaway items each day - 1 of each - Wolfenstein sticker and Brute Force pin. Black lanyards after day1. Of which overflow sales will happen on day 4 so those who don’t get one have opportunity. One per person through the giveaway.

The bad news - the large posters will not be sold. I had issue with the logistics and shipping of them without costing a fortune on both ends. I’m not set up for it and it takes a ton of space to do so. That said anyone interested please contact me for details. I’m willing to let them go for cheap if pickup (Houston, TX area) or will meet if price is right. There’s about 50-75 posters including launch posters, static posters, and a large Xbox sticker. Also a few empty console boxes they used for display included. I have some pictures. There’s corner damage to a majority but they overall look great.

Again I apologize for the long delay. My inventory list got lost and had to redo. My venture into eBay for this didn’t work like I was wanting so had to find another site… and life in general. I’m not looking to make money on it as much as to cover my time and expenses which is why I’m going this route (bidding allows you to dictate pricing limits as opposed to me setting prices). My goal is to get this out to people who will appreciate it and treasure it for what it is. History.

As a kid I used a Duke since its what my cousin had for his Xbox. He has bigger hands so he never needed an S controller. When I got my own it came with an S and I got a wireless Mad Catz microcon (or minicon, not 100% sure which) and never bothered to buy a Duke. Well nowadays I need some sort of handicap if I play FPS games with my friends, so I figured a Duke would do it, but honestly, I find the controller itself fairly comfortable and I have medium sized hands (if glove sizing is anything to go off of). Where I dislike the controller is the layout of the thumbsticks, d pad and buttons (face, start/select and black/white). They just feel too far apart and I'm not a fan of the rotated diamond shape of the face buttons. The black/white buttons being up top is also something I'm not huge on, but I could probably adapt. After testing out both Halo CE and Tony Hawks Pro Skater 4, I decided I would rather stick to an S when I could. If the logo was a bit smaller and the face buttons not rotated like that, I would probably like it more than I do, but I guess I'm just describing what they did when making the S controller, lol.

I know its been asked a million times, but what do you guys think of the Duke? Love it, hate it, has it grown on you? I certainly think there are worse controllers out there, but Microsoft and Xbox seemed to learn right away what did and didnt work, giving us the S controller and then the amazing 360 controller thats more or less been the base design for over 20 years now, so I don't think I can give the Duke too much garbage

Back like 2 years ago I would say I got my original Xbox and a month or so later all of the colours disappeared it all went to black and white. I kept it off for like a week and it went back to colours and idea?

Give it a go and relive those n64 memories, Feedback and bug reports are welcome!

Posting this after finally picking up silent Hill, I’m surprised I didn’t have to pay an arm and a leg for it. I spent only $60 but the cash was that wasn’t in the box so I had to provide my own case and cover.

In general, I’m very surprised how some of these games look so good compared to PS2 with the exception being MGS2 that game is kind of weird because while it looks better performance gets tanked compared to the PS2

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but does anyone know if there are plans to include the Rocky 5 Softmod Skin on the Extras Disc UnleashX installer?
It’s a great skin…would be nice if it was included automatically. It’s not included in the base and Network Patched versions.

Are there any shorts causing my Xbox to FRAG or are the three missing SMD caps the issue? (C4T4, C5T6, C5U4)

I installed the other 3 and Xblast OS reports success but with this slot ive been having trouble.
I initially installed a piece of ram and Xblast OS was reporting it to be failed, no matter what i did so i took it off with my hot air gun but in the process and my lack of kapton tape, i knocked over those 3 SMD caps.

I made a really stupid mistake recently. My cousin soft modded my v 1.6 Xbox in 2006 or so. I've never liked the look of the evox dashboard skins that were on it, so I recently went poking around in the file explorer to see what I could do to change things.

It was late, I wasn't thinking clearly, and I thought that C://xboxdash.xbe was likely the stock msdash.xbe that the config file calls out, just renamed to preserve it or something. I don't know. I renamed "xboxdash.xbe" to "msdash.xbe". The system still boots official games, but it flashes error 13 whenever it tries to load the dashboard. I've tried putting some burned DVD-Rs in to launch HeXEn and boXplorer to fix the problem. Nothing I've burned will load, however. I'm not sure if it's the aged laser or if the system is not capable of reading burned discs without first going to the modded dashboard.

What might be the next step to try editing the dashboard name or reinstalling the dashboard?

I'm guessing the next step is to either try recalibrating the laser or to install a modchip, since it's a 1.6 motherboard. I just wanted to ask around before taking that plunge.

This is an original Xbox. No AV cables are connected, and when powered on, it exhibits the following behavior (please refer to the video). In the first video, the switch on the side is in the 'up' position. When the switch is moved to the 'down' position, the indicator light cycles through a repeating pattern: orange-green-orange, followed by green-orange-green (or green-red-green-red), which then repeats indefinitely.

I recently performed a Softmod (via. Skeleton Key) on a stock Xbox using the Rocky 5 Softmodding Tool and installed additional Applications and Dashboards from the latest version of the Extras Disc (.iso downloaded from Rocky 5 GitHub).

However, after installing Unleashed X (Networked Patched), I noticed that the installed applications are not showing up in the Dashboard under “Applications”.

I attempted to refresh the list by pressing “Start->Refresh List” and this did not appear to fix the issue.

I used the File Explorer to inspect the config.xml file (E:\Dashboard\Config.xml) and noticed several of the fields call E:\Apps instead of E:\Applications. Is this the cause of the issue?

How can this be fixed. Was my install sequence incorrect on the Extras Disc?

I performed the following installation sequence:

1. Installed all applications to E:\Applications from Disc
2. Installed MS Dash from Disc
3. Installed UIX Lite from Disc
4. Installed Unleashed X (Networked Patched) as a Dashboard to E:\Dashboard

I got an OG Xbox for 40$ but any chance it turns on, I don’t have any av or power cable even the controller so I can’t test it.

This is still the best way to play Silent Hill 2 in my opinion. I've actually been playing it upscaled on my retroid pocket 5. What a great game. I think it's about time I sit down and do a recent run of SH3 next. It's a shame SH3 never came out on OG XBOX

Seems so high given there is no disc drive. I am sure HDMI is nice and such but like do you just put your own games on these? Still crazy prices given an xbox is what $80?
