lads, lads, lads. The failure rates are roughly equal across all brands and models of hard drive. Favourite brands are either a hangover from the days when it mattered, or are evidence of personal bias resulting from a few bad experiences. Like people who have two cars from brand X go wrong, and conclude that brand X is rubbish - it's just not meaningful data. The real death factors are vibrations (in particular how they transmit or don't transmit between drives in one rack/case), mounts and power cycles. Source: I have personally retired and scrapped literally thousands of hard drives, there were no overall standouts in brand, model or even RPM (other than those studid 10,000rpm things - I never found 7200 to be less reliable than 5400 on a domestic level). Fun bonus fact: my most unlikely survivor drive is an early 500GB 3.5" 7,200 Deskstar that I pulled out of a customer's old machine, it had over 58,000 power cycles. Not hours - power cycles. It still works fine. I have no idea how.

Allowed everything to work flawlessly paired with the controller cord to usb input cable I bought. With a softmod and patience for ftp transfers, you probably only need to add a new HDD and you’ll be good to go. Component cable output to RT4K makes for an excellent picture.

I've had so much fun rebuilding my high school/college xbox on the emulator that I bought one to mod and happen to be doing it today. I'll be using the old method of softmod with xboxhdm and ndure. As always, thank you again for all your hard work.

@<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="430">7:10</a>, should be noted with the new Endgame exploit, specific games are not required to softmod anymore. Just a way to get the save on the Xbox console (USB adapter or Memory Card transfer from another modded Xbox)

its awesome that we can increase the ram of the original xbox now its crazy how good the modding community has gotten with this console upgrading the ram in a consumer base console is unheard of similar to wiimmfi the only game i ever see people play is mario kart wii so only seeing people play halo 2 all the time doesnt surprise me too much to be honest

My Xbox is currently in a dead capacitor-induced coma. Glad to see the Xbox scene still thriving.

The most interesting OG XBOX mod was definitely the HD/VGA mod. I don't know how far it's come since the old days (you used to have to run NTSC BIOS + HomeMade VGA cable) but a refresh of what HD technology is available would be interesting.

the latest CerBIOS supports VGA with Sync on Green and YPbPr as well .. so till 1080i better 720p you can check out

Ahh the good old day's. When Halo matchmaking was battle of the mods past level 38ish. Whatever modder got host connection won with their hacks. Non host hacks were broken due to it being the map file served from on the hosts machine.

A little heads up about the HDMI dongle featured in the video: You may see some vertical stationary jail bars on some dark surfaces if you look close enough. According to Shane (the maker of this adapter), it's due to the video capacitors going bad and those will need to be replaced.

I've always used unleash x as my dashboard, but I've also got an old setup. I would love to modernize the console, add more memory, and see if a mod chip can bios switch between standard Xbox and chihiro but I don't even know if that's a thing they can do now. When I was still active and the Xbox scene was in its prime, that was a thing people were rumored to be working on

I got a modded Xbox for christmas in 2003 when I was 10 years old, and I remember being completely in awe at the fact I could just borrow a friend's game and copy it over to mine and have it forever. If I'm honest it still blows me away that you could do that with 2003 technology.

You haven't swapped the 40pin to 80pin ide cable? You could potentially increase the r/w throughput by doing that.

I modded my Xbox 20 years ago with a solderless chip. I'll have to pull it out again and power it up to make sure it works still. I did recently upgrade the hard drive to a SATA drive with adapter. Mine has EvolutionX dashboard. I wish the websites I used for the information were still around, though I might check the wayback machine. I am amazed that I was able to get my Xbox modded the way it is. I could not tell you where I would have to begin as for the real modding process now. I may look for the clock capacitor though.
