Reminder that softmods don't futureproof your xbox

>>6775724
What does the Xecuter buttons do?

>>6776468
elaborate

So what's going on with project insignia? Any updates?

Wutup x chads

What went right?

Based
All hardmodded, 3 are TSOP flashed and 2 have openxeniums.
My main one with the little DVD dongle has a 1tb drive.

>>6775772
>Reminder that softmods don't futureproof your xbox
what do you mean

>>6777007
They don't protect the console against the scourge of dead DVD drives and dead original HDDs.
With a hardmod you can install any drive you want and just FTP over a dashboard and games.

480 what? 60 fps? I don’t understand, i play the not retro xbox on an old crt.

>>6777028
oh
i just download them onto my hdd via ftp, or rip retail discs and never use them again lol
also changed the hdd to a bigger one
i did the hotswap method

>>6776971
damn you trying to keep the mexicans out with those things?

>>6777273
he's building a wall

>>6777289

>>6777061
If your hard drive is IDE, it's probably going to die soon.

>>6777346
still works, but i rarely use my xbox these days
mainly to play against my mom in doa2u when i come to visit

Best xbox softmod?

>>6776806
nice

Is there a good way to know which board revision an Xbox is from the outside? Looking for a 1.4 or 1.5

>>6775724
What is the best emulator for this system?

I'm interested in picking up an Xbox, but component cables are too pricey and I'm fearing bad capacitors at this point. Where can I pick up a reliable Xbox and oem quality components?

>>6777028
if you dump your eeprom, you can make a new hdd at any time
if your xbox is v1.5 or older, you can also flash a modded bios with no extra hardware

>>6777041
widescreen crt edtv's (480p) exist, and they're all old at this point

Somebody tell me how to get good at gunvalkyrie

>>6779343
You'll have to find someone selling restored xboxs then. I bought a restored and heavily modded Xbox off ebay, it cost a shit tonne of money, but i can load it up and play any game I want, including obscure shit like the leaked Starcraft Ghost.

>>6775724
remember to get rid of those shitty clock capacitors anons, removed mine today after hotswapping my new 2TB HDD.

>>6779343
heh

>>6775724
so I got my hands back on my original Xbox a couple weeks ago, problem is the Disc Drive is jammed(and the paper clip trick doesn't work), I managed to get it open and tried that trick where you boil the rubber band but it didn't work either, if I were to break the locking mechanism for the disc drive would that cause any problems with the disc drive running?

also anyone know where one can find a good quality 3rd party controller for the system I don't have any controllers for the thing right now and all the ones on Amazon seem to be just as shitty as all the third party Xbox 360 controllers are

>>6780368
if it's just the rubber band, measure it get a replacement

>>6779669
This is 100% legit. I modded mine back when they were 1 gen old and like $20, no leaking caps at this point or a few years later. I checked mine about 3 years ago and they had fucking exploded, acid everywhere, luckily no irreparable damage but it was eating the traces until I neutralized it.

>>6779669
Who? This little guy? He didn't do nuthin

I'm still sad I never hunted down a copy of Cold Fear. It looked like an okay knock off of RE4. But on a boat. As a Coast Guard.

>>6781287
I had it on PS2, I dont remember ever liking it that much. It ended up as one of those games I leant to a friend and it never came back.

I have a V1.6 Xbox. I've heard removing the clock capacitor on it is unnecessary. What do you guys think?

>>6777028
How hard is it to hardmod? I never did soldering before.

VOODOO VINCE NIGGAS WHERE WE AT?

>>6781387
you heard right

Don't forget.

>>6777273
kek
here are some of my PS2s

>>6779502
I really liked this game but it definitely feels half-done. I would have loved a fully fledged game that really took advantage of the movement with more well designed levels.

What do you use to connect your Xbox to your AV receiver/TV?
Does this cable carry the full surround sound or just stereo?

>>6782262
I bought the Hyperkin HDMI cable and it sucked. The picture was not very sharp and it had noise issues. My AV receiver does not work well with 480i over HDMI, you might want to consider this.

In general most of these Retro console to HDMI converters are rubbish, asside from the boutique autist ones.

I bought a hand made ridiculous quality component cable and it was an excellent decision. It still ended being cheaper and higher quality than the rare official component pack.

>>6782327
Aren't most games 480p?

>Doc's a ripoff, shieeeet

>>6775724
My dad bought a modded Xbox a few months ago. Has custom blue LEDs, emulators for 4th and 5th gen game systems, plus almost every Xbox game is playable from it's internal hard drive. Pretty neat, he's considering getting a modded GameCube/Wii next since he doesn't play a lot of new games.

>>6781397
My cousin got into it. Evidently you had to solder a point that was already a solder point. He killed 10 xboxes before he mastered it. Was able to save maybe 6 of those 10. If he hadn't been such a lazy asshole I'd have been able to showcase mine too my classmates freshman year and he'd have made a fortune modding all theirs.

>>6782345
Almost all of them, but the Dashboard and the opening splash screen isn't. It would glitch out really bad.

>>6778694
Rocky5

So for my fellow x-chads. Do you prefer the original xbox version of games even if it has a 360 counterpart?

>>6782748
I would say yeah, most of them looks good enough and plays well, the only exception I can think of is GRAW

>>6782748
OG. Burnout Revenge is better in 6th gen.

I have Blinx The Timesweeper lol

>>6779502

Emulate it and change the controls to something not ass-fuck retarded.

>>6782262
currently using the component into a retrotink which is fine, but I have a LevelHike Cable in the mail.

>>6782883
>Emulate it
Idiot.
>change the controls to something not ass-fuck retarded.
What's wrong with defaults?

>>6782748
Splinter Cell Double Agent is legitimately a better game on OG Xbox.

>>6780368
>good quality 3rd party controller
Don't.
Just get used controllers and don't bother with shit 3rd party.
If you will feel bad about how buttons presses, then disassembly it and remove tape over contacts, then put some foil on rubber thing.

>>6781387
1.6 doesn't even have it.
Also 1.6 doesn't have chip with bios and you can't hardmod it without modchip.

>>6781487
Man, my Xbox is inoperable due to a similar botch where the traces to the front panel on the underside got attacked instead, and the only workaround is crazy careful use of base pads and real thin wire and I know I'll never have the steady hands to pull that bypass off.

>>6781442
isn't that Phil's favorite OG xbox game? wonder why they haven't made a new one

>>6782374
>My dad
You should get it for yourself, you zoomer.

>>6783121
official controllers cost too much

>>6782262
I have Dreamcast one. The xbox might carry it since the optical signal comes from the same port

>>6781707
I wanna curb stomp those thinkpads
they deserve it
keep the PS2's

>>6783393
$10? Are you serious? There's plenty of them on eBay.
Even with shipping it's like $20 tops. Just get multiple of them for cost of one shipping.

>>6783468
all the ones I'm seeing are 20 to 25 bucks minimum, and I ain't buying used controllers for that much

>>6783518
It was still $10 in winter.
Well, I advise you get it even at $20 than trying to find good "3rd party" for 6th gen.
I got wireless Logitech for Xbox only to be disappointed by its shit buttons, them needs to be pressed so hard to register that I need to use more focus on act of pressing fucking buttons than on playing the game.

where my niggas at?

I have fond memories of playing co-op on silent cartographer on this thing while we were too poor to afford real games to use on the system

I've been getting rid of most of my consoles recently to save space and moved to emulation. Can't get myself to rid of the fatbox though. I didn't have one as a kid but this thing is awesome.

Plus no emulator anyway so yeah. Though a good amount of games are playable on the 360.

>>6777028
My brothers Xbox had a dead HDD.

I just built this cable https://www.instructables.com/id/XBox-EEPROM-ReaderWriter/

Dumped the EERPOM off my softmodded Xbox and wrote it to the broken one. Then I cloned the my Xbox's drive using Chimp 261812 and chucked it into the broken one. It worked and also got softmodded in the cloning process.

The DVD drive still doesn't work. But I don't give a fuck. It's not tied to the motherboard anyway so one out of another broken Xbox could eventually replace it.

Also if anyone does this only overwrite the Xbox HDD Key, don't overwrite everything on the EEPROM.

>>6783897
How good is the backwards compatibility, anyway? I've never owned any Xbox but I've been thinking of picking one up, and thinking it would be more efficient to just get a 360/Xbone, but only if the original Xbox compatibility is decent.

>>6784019
I don't know about the Xbone because I skipped this gen, but as far as 360 goes it's fairly limited. Supposedly better compatibility on modded consoles with some patches applied but I haven't tried it out.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Xbox_games_compatible_with_Xbox_360

Ninja Gaiden Black works and looks awesome, by the way.

>>6779502
Man, I love Sega so I'm gonna have to force myself to beat this eventually. The controls are hard to adjust to.

>>6782748
Say whatever you want but I'd go for the 360 version solely for the fact it has achievements.

>>6783897
>Plus no emulator anyway so yeah.
It's being worked on but it's really bad right now. I don't know why something that's based on PC architecture 20 years ago is so hard to emulate in 2020.

>>6784019
I would just buy an OG Xbox

>>6784048
>>6784126
Fair enough, guess I'll do that then. Thanks anons.

Some of my favorite games on the Xbox were ports like pic-related and Bloody Roar Extreme.
I wish more Japanese devs flocked to Xbox. The thought of my favorite PS2 games getting enhanced Xbox ports with extra content and updated graphics is something I wish happened more often.
Would have loved to see an Xbox port of Devil May Cry.

I quit video games after Dreamcast. What other Xbox games would you recommend I look into aside from these?

>>6784315
DOA3
Ninja Gaiden Black
Otogi 2
Timesplitters Future Perfect
Genma Onimusha

Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory

>>6779343
You can make an Xbox component cable yourself. It's not hard.

>>6783951
you could have just installed a modchip and gotten better results for 20% of that effort.

>>6784359
>>6784425
Thanks! When this pandemic clears up I will look for a few of those that I do not have. Think they will be cheap or has the virus permanently fucked the prices?

>>6781287
Played it for an hour or so yesterday, seems ok

>>6782748
The group I played Battlefield 2: Modern Combat with dissolved when the 360 port came out. Fuck that port. Nothing wrong with the Xbox version.

>>6775724
How long will old xbox's keep?

>>6784085
That's how I am too sadly.

>>6784089
>It's being worked on but it's really bad right now.
It being worked on and really bad right now last 15 years and nothing will change in future.
Everyone here should know it since 2k5 at the minimum.

>>6784019
>backwards compatibility
It's terrible.
360 supports ~600 (50%) of the library, but it's like 50% accuracy or less. Even supported titles will randomly glitch or some features won't even work.
Xbone has less than 50 titles available, and no one played them to even report how good it is, because no one actually wants to use backward compatibility.

ONE OF THE WORST CONSOLES. DIDN'T EVEN GET A VERSION OF RESIDENT EVIL 4.

>>6785175
The HDD inside could die the DVD drives already are.
>Clock Capacitor
A little thing that keeps the date and time, they have started to leek, cant think of any game that uses the date

Chadbox is the best.

I have an some sort of Xecuter Mod Chip clone in my Xbox. It has cables attached to it that lead to the outside of the case with a micro-USB port. Maybe you know the mode?

Anyway the dashboard is 100% default. All it does is play burned DVDs and turns it region-free. But how do I install homebrew software and an aftermarket dashboard from here? And how do I upgrade to a SATA HDD. Can anyone help me out here?

>>6785448
Correct me if im wrong, but I thought you can emulate pretty much all the OG Xbox with a modded 360

I remember having a grudge against the Xbox because I correlated the lack of a Max Payne port meant that the GameCube was viewed as "kiddy" and the Xbox was seen as the "mature kids console".

In hindsight, that was pretty buttblasted of me but I still don't reflect highly upon the Xbox library even now.

>>6785702
No, you can emulate a little more of it, but most incompatible games still have severe issues or don't boot.

>>6785704
Well technically that's true, the Xbox's target audience was teens and young adults.

>>6785138
The port of the two Fry Cry games sucked too.

>>6785723
No, Microsoft stopped to evolve it in 2007 with numbers above. Everything beyond those numbers are blacklisted by Microsoft, mean 360 won't boot game if it's not in the list.
But on hacked side people managed to whitelist everything, but it's just that - ability to boot them.
Games will glitch like crazy because there's no game-specific hacks and just bare-bone emulator inside 360.

>>6785698
>But how do I install homebrew software and an aftermarket dashboard from here?
Burn this and use it to install a dashboard, I use UnleashX but some prefer XBMC.
https://archive.org/details/truhexen-2020
Once you have a custom dashboard you can use an FTP client to connect to your Xbox and copy things to and from it.
>And how do I upgrade to a SATA HDD
Buy a SATA to IDE adapter (put electrical tape on parts that can bump the hard drive) and an 80-wire IDE cable, then follow a guide for cloning hard drives with Chimp.
https://github.com/Rocky5/Chimp261812

>>6785921
When I say some games don't boot, I mean they'll just give a black screen or crash the console, not that the emulator denies booting them.
And there's ways to change which of several emulator profiles a game uses, but I haven't seen any compatibility lists come out of that.

What did she want?

>>6785931
Thanks. I'll look into it.

>>6785704
Conversely, I'm buttblasted that some multiplatform kids games skipped Xbox because of its older and edgier demographic.

>>6784489
The Xbox was a real mess, it had been stored in an outdoor shed for years I had to clean a bunch of corrosion off it. I just wanted to get it working with the shit I had on hand not buy a Chink Modchip and have to wait 2 or 3 months for it to arrive. I'd have gotten bored an thrown it down an old abandoned Mine Shaft.

>>6785975
To destroy the force

>>6786159

For the last time, of all resident evils 4 is when they went to shit. No conservation, not scary, it's not a real Resident Evil game.

Post about Resident Evil Zero before this shit even though newer.

>>6786353

You first, but this time without sperging.

>>6786365
>not scary
None of residents are scary

I miss the aesthetics of the og xbox's dashboard, especially the custom ones you could get via softmods. It was the 6th gen's metalheart console.

I want to play .mkv on my CRT and Xbox is perfect candidate for it.
How do I set up UMS right for it?
Or maybe there another transcoder available?

>>6786169
But you can't do that. It's not a thing that can be dismantled.

>>6786554

>>6786478
BY GOD I WILL SPERG IF I FEEL LIKE IT AND YOU CAN'T STOP ME YOU NORMAL FUCKING FAG!!

>>6784552
If you got Gunvalkyrie, you can get the rest. Also, don't forget Hitman Contracts.

>>6785704
>I still don't reflect highly upon the Xbox library even now.
Why? You even said yourself your were jealous it had a Max Payne port.

I've got an HD Samsung TV. What are the best quality visual cables I can get online that are reliable for my og Xbox?

>>6776806
How the heck did you get all those games to balance on a PS2? That seems like it would be extremely hard to me.

>>6788397
Lean your head on the left.

>>6785764
Instincts Predator has the worst input lag I have ever seen for a console FPS game.
It's unplayable even when they reduced it slightly with a patch.

>>6786353
What is there to say about Breakdown?
It's a terrible First Person Shooter but a great First Person Brawler and has tons of moves that one can pull off if they are skilled enough.

>>6777028
when you softmod you null the eeprom (make it all 0s). anyone can remember that as a hardrive key.

also, you don't need a modchip to TSOP flash which most xboxes can do and it takes all of 5 minutes with a soldered points. you can flash a simple bios that does not lock the HD.

>>6775724
How come PS2 games don't use Dolby Digital while the Xbox uses it for almost every game?

>>6782262
I use a Porta component to HDMI converter (obviously you need a Xbox component cable)

>>6789974
Because the PS2 can't handle real time surround sound, it's only usable for prerecorded videos.
The Xbox was the newer, more advanced system so it came with real time surround.

>>6790008
Does it take that much of a hit on performance? Airblade lets you listen to the music with it (not during gameplay though)

>>6779669
>Capacitors
>Plural

There is only one clock cap

Anyone else use the Xbox to emulate N64 games? The Earthworm James pack works pretty well

>>6780368
Just replace the drive belt you goomba. They're a few dollars on ebay

I legitimately love both Wreckless and Double S.T.E.A.L. for their bizarre mix of anime and GTA inspired mayhem. Graphically both games are nice showcases of the Xbox hardware.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xoeypFkEYE

About to recap my Xbox and mod it. Was just going to do a softmod, but I saw someone mention openxenium. What are the benefits? Just easier to unbrick your console?

>>6792234
Many Xboxes are experiencing more widespread capacitor issues now too.

>>6793931
It was during the time of the Great Capacitor Plague, so that's not surprising.

>>6793926
Also just noticed 2 different version on eBay. One has additional "Team Donkey" branding. Any reason to choose one over the other?

>>6793916
>GTA inspired mayhem

These games are really more like Midtown Madness, to me.

>>6793952
I've seen a few with caps for cpu power bulging, even a mountain dew one which was a real shame.

>>6792234
Anons is plural dipshit. The many anons who own an xbox don't all share one xbox with one capacitor to remove.

>>6785704
>I remember having a grudge against the Xbox because I correlated the lack of a Max Payne port meant that the GameCube was viewed as "kiddy" and the Xbox was seen as the "mature kids console".

I remember one of the developers saying that they had issues getting Max Payne running on the GameCube, because of some memory issues. The PC version of Max Payne used a lot of VRAM for the textures. One of the Remedy employees made this claim on the Max Payne forums.

>>6794460

Wow it's almost like that's not the case at all

>>6786939
PS3 with composite, S-video or component is your best bet actually

>>6793973
>>6793931
Mainly 1.6s have shit CPU caps.
They're all just standard through-hole caps, so even a retard can replace them and solder in new ones.

>>6793926
It makes it impossible to brick. You can use any HDD, locked or unlocked, FTP over software without needing a dashboard (and DVD drive working) etc.

>>6776843
The only standout OG Xbox game. Maybe JSR too.

>>6794880
Fuck off retard.

>>6794887
Make me.

>>6794880

>>6775724
Great console with usually the best multiplat console versions and interesting exclusives.

The music burning option was cool

>>6783660
fucking this man, id play silent cartographer over and over again with my brother and see how far deep we could drive the warthog through the underground base

>>6795615
It was great when games utilized it.
>tfw swapping out the shitty emo cuck rock in Burnout with actual heavy metal

>>6794850
Yeah, I know, anon, and already used it a bit like this, but PS3 connected by HDMI to HDTV and it's a pain to switch 480i/1080p forth and back inside XMB.
Even with Xbox it's a pain to switch YPbPr and RGB. Maybe I should just make RGB-cable for it already and don't fear when this signal will be awful (I have 1.2).

>>6796135
lmao just get another PS3

>>6784315
From the looks of your collection, Stubbs the Zombie and Outrun 2 would be up your alley

>>6796159
Why would I get another behemoth when I only need to solve software problem?

>>6784089
while it's not easy to emulate, it's not super esoteric, either
the ps2 has weirder hardware
the xbox isn't emulated well because relatively few people give a shit about the xbox

>>6796971
>this meme again
Stop.

>>6775724
If Xbox is just x86 + DirectX then why is the emulation still so shit?

All the multiplats were best on Xbox and of course there's the non-pozzed versions of Halo. Having to resort to shitty PC ports and cut down PS2 versions of games instead of just emulating the Xbox is crap.

>>6797063
Even PC versions of games were often just upressed PS2 ports instead of the best possible version. For example Battlefront 2. The Xbox version had more detailed graphics and better AI that could use heroes better, that did not end up on the PC.

I have an Xbox 1.4, and the PSU has carked it. One of the Foxconn units.
Unfortunately 240V replacements have been getting hard to come by, any easy way to hook up to a standard ATX or arcade PSU? Doesn't strictly need to fit in the original shell

>>6797556
couldn't you nigger-rig a picopsu or something similar up to it?
while the connector is not a standard ATX one, the xbox mobo does still just use standard PC voltages
you could use a regular or itx pc power supply, but those might be harder to fit inside the case

>>6797556
>>6797620
oh, while this should be obvious, make sure you look up the max amps the xbox draws from each rail and ensure your replacement can supply that
going off total watts supported isn't good enough

>>6783136
yes, he said he loves the game because he played it with his daughters

>>6779343
Well, if you have a soldering iron and a Xbox 360 component cable you can make your own with the original xbox composite cable plug. There's a few videos on youtube of people doing this method.

>>6787036
The Blades were the gold standard for simple and easy to use UI. I still don't know why they went and changed it.

>>6785138
fantastic game.

What are the best off brand/generic controllers to buy and from where?

I've bought a few off eBay and the analog sticks feel so stiff it makes aiming in FPS games a pain. Do they smooth out over time and use?

>>6799586
There isn't really any such thing. Official controllers are very cheap for Xbox anyway and much better than any 3rd party.

>>6782262
Component cables to ossc.

Other than Halo 2 what reason is there for me to get an xbox?

>>6800498
halo 1
crimson skies
Star War KOTOR 1 and 2
DOA 3
Burnout 3
more but I let someone borrow my xbox in 2005 and he moved and my memory sucks

>>6800498
Japanese-made exclusives like Tecmo's (Ninja Gaiden Black), Sega's (Gunvalkyrie), Otogi 1-2, Breakdown, etc.

>>6800498
If your playing gen 6 multiplats anywhere else, your making a mistake. The Xbox is just so ridiculously powerful compared to the competition and has a very clean output.

>>6800498
>>>6801134
and exclusives like:
Otogi
Otogi 2

Blinx
Jet Set Radio Future

Brute Force
Mech Assault
Mech Assault 2

>>6796971
The PS2 is far better documented than the original Xbox. The original Xbox is a really complex custom piece of Pc based hardware. Particularly the GPU and video decoders.

>>6794880
>The only standout OG Xbox game. Maybe JSR too.
You forgot about this absolute piece of mech-sim ludo.

>successfully upgraded my mobo with 4 more RAM chips so I can play that small handful of Chihiro games on native hardware

it might not be much and it was a stressful process but it feels good

>>6801618
Reminds me, I gotta cannibalize a broken xbox to steal its ram chips for my own. Are there any compatibility concerns I should have or will any chips do?

>>6801559
Sold mine boxed/mint for 500 earlier this year.

>>6801618
You can play the leaked beta of Starcraft Ghost too. I too have a 128mb xbox, I think it’s mostly a flex, but still cool.

>>6801624
If they came from another Xbox you should be fine. There isn't much difference between chip versions except for power improvements. I bought my chips (K4D263238F-UC50) off Aliexpress and they work like a charm.

>>6801618
Is there any downside to doing this? Like compatibility with normal Xbox games?

>>6777346
Does any company still make any new IDE drives these days or are they all old stock?

>>6801689
No? They probably don't even recognize that there's 2x the ram
also i wonder why they didn't just make it 128 from the start, most pcs had that much at the end of 2001

>>6801689
No downsides, as long as you do it right. I accidentally ripped these pads after using desoldering braid to remove/reposition my chip. Thankfully none of them were actually used by the chip so I finished the job just fine.

Use a hot air rework station instead and take. your. time. trust me.

Anyone else play this or the crusaders? I remember it kicking my ass.

How do I get out of the mindset of getting the game on the 360 instead? My little monkey brain has been trained on achievements and having the xbox guide button.

>>6786554
Yeah all these softmod UIs are crap. Can't live with them can't live without them.

>>6802229
I dont know what to tell you, I dont play games just to unlock good boy points. Maybe you should stop being a zoomer

Where my DriHoosiers at?

>>6800498
Can still play many of the games online because of widespread LAN support with tunneling software such as XLinkKai.

>>6801667
You can do that with a normal one but only a few levels work. Seemed like it would have been decent for the kind of game it was.

>>6801826
I want to replay KUF:Heroes more than any other game from my childhood because I remember never being able to beat it despite how much I loved it. Waiting on a PC port.
Crusaders randomly got a PC port this year and I played most of it but it was fucking bugged and I couldn't finish the last quarter of it.
Not as good as Heroes but the third person RTS with rpg elements is such a wonderful system that it's a joy to play; plus it's got a campy atmosphere of cheesecake high fantasy + non-stop heavy metal.

>>6802519
Heroes has been on steam for a while, you can get it now for pc.

>>6802497
An Xbox Live replacement is coming out soon, and it'll be free for everyone and eventually support every game.

Has anyone seen this thing or own one?
https://youtu.be/JqPiwOUv-i8
I have shitty cheap hdmi solution I do have a RetroTink2xPro that I use for my N64. I don't have HD cables for my Xbox and I think this might be a better solution in cost.

>>6803302
I honestly doubt its gonna make a difference. Its still gonna be just the same hundred Brazilians playing Halo 2 slayer and few people playing Chaos Theory and Mech Assault

>>6794521

You know you can just buy the chips on AliExpress for a few bucks right

>>6795594
I miss the fatbox, some heroin addict stole mine when i was 16. now i want another, but retards sell them for stupid prices.

I had all of its great exclusives too. where's the fucking JSRF hd pc release sega you fucking cowards?

>>6801559
I wish mine had came with the box

>>6803445
I think it will be more popular, I'm certainly sick of new games, and I missed old Xbox Live back in the day.

Someday I'll have to post my collection of OG Xbox shit.

>>6801826
fantastic cover.

>>6803302
We'll see about it.

FUSIOOOOOOOOOON

>>6799608
Buying used controllers sucks, the ones I've bought have had stick drift and didn't last very long


What do you use to clean your disc? Remove light scratches?

>>6799608
>>6805178
It's not huge problem the drifting but I'm looking to buy a bunch of them for a system link set up.

>>6804736
it was a ok party game.

Is there anything special about the Xbox version of Future Perfect? Other than, you know, having the best controller for FPS of the gen and supporting 16 player LAN. Looks pretty good in places.

I got to the mansion level with the zombies. Thought it was going to be especially good but the tedious boss fights ruin it.

I hear this thing is like a Dreamcast 2.0. What are it’s best arcade ports? Does it have any good 2D stuff? Fighters/bmups/shmups/etc.

>>6806291
It's not, people just say that because it got a few exclusive games from sega. The reality is everyone got a few exclusive games from sega. Nobody calls the ps2 the genesis 2 because it got 2 new shinobi games.

>>6806291
>What are it’s best arcade ports?
Crazy Taxi 3, House of the Dead 3 (includes HoTD 2 as well) and Outrun 2. Arcades were pretty dead by that point so there wasn't much to work with. It's a shame they never ported Virtua Cop 3 to the Xbox, it ran on the same hardware in the arcade but with more than double the memory. With an Xbox modded to have more memory it's possible to play it but no such luck for stock consoles.

>>6806304
The XBOX is literally next gen SEGA arcade hardware or rather the hardware was based on XBOX its actually the NAOMI successor

>>6806198
There really aren't any differences besides 16-player LAN and the ability to ban shorties in LAN matches.

>>6803624
>DriHoosiers
OG boxes are dirt cheap and common as PS2 and later gen consoles. You can easily find them in flea markets for 20€ or less.

>>6801654
did you sell this in princeton? because I saw a full box there for 500$

>>6802497
yo that game is awesome! I thought I was the only one!!! how far have you gotten??

>>6806548
It's still stupid to call it "Dreamcast 2" because it got a handful of Sega exclusives. And let's be clear - Chihiro is based on Xbox, not the other way around.
Sega's later arcade board, TriForce, is based on GameCube - does that mean the GC is Dreamcast 3?

I want to see more xbox source code leaks. Maybe one day we'll get True Fantasy Live Online.

For me It's Breakdown

>>6806304
>>6807445
People drive home the Dreamcast 2 meme for the following reasons
>handful of Dreamcast ports/sequels/games that meant for Dreamcast (Gun Valkyrie)
>Controller is the DC controller with an extra analog stick and black and white buttons
>being cutting edge in its online capabilities like the Dreamcast was in 1999
>EA refusing to support Xbox Live, similar to how they refused to support the Dreamcast
>both systems had a short life of about 3-4 years
>microsoft actually was going to loan Sega about 5 million dollars to stay afloat before the Dreamcast was going to be cancelled, and even proposed making a GDROM addon drive to play DC games on Xbox
As fan of both systems, it's still pretty far fetched. Outside of Microsoft and Sega supporting each other early on most of the similarities are coincidental. EA for instance refused to work with Xbox Live because they wanted to run their own servers, and the short life spans of the console were for different reasons (Sega being neck deep in debt and had too many Dreamcasts in their warehouses, Microsoft being in a feud with Nvidia that lead to them working with ATI as soon as 360 development began).

>>6809591
Need a source on:
- gun Valkyrie was a dreamcast game
- Ms was going to loan Sega money
- Ms intended to make a GD drive for xbxox

>>6775724
How many must play xbox games are there that can't be played on the backward compatible xbox 360? Are they worth getting an original xbox just for them?

>>6810526
360 bc is pretty shit so it's basically universal that all xbox games are best played on xbox.

>>6810526

>>6809591
>As fan of both systems, it's still pretty far fetched. Outside of Microsoft and Sega supporting each other early on most of the similarities are coincidental

Microsoft basically used the Dreamcast as a test bed for their own console. They expended on the networking idea with XBLA, they based the original Duke on the DC pad. Microsoft did reference the Dreamcast a lot.

>>6810581
Oh OK. I knew it included like a 100 games but I don't know much about how comprehensive it was or whether it was good backwards compatibility.

>>6810586
Isn't this game like absurdly expensive to get a hold of now?

>>6810603
Yes, all thanks to youtube collector channels and redditors.

Did somebody try to convert composite to HDMI here using things like this? Is image quality tolerable?

>>6810430
>gun Valkyrie was a dreamcast game
https://archive.is/JaDbm

>>6811071
Avoid those pieces of shit. All it does is literally pass the shitty composite signal through HDMI. The only thing they're good for is converting NTSC to PAL
t. anon who used them on connecting cameras to composite recorders.

>>6809486
Is this any good?

>>6811134
Crazy, had no idea. Thanks for sharing that

>>6811169

Had an Xbox back in the day, which was really just a Halo player. I've actually gotten more interested in some of the other games like Crimson Skies, Riddick, Fable, MechAssault, etc

Older brother had the original Xbox back when it was big, always played this on it

> zoomerfag

>>6811169
yes, but make sure you have a modded xbox so you can play the modded uncensored .iso

>>6811149
Yeah, I understand that it won't magically make the picture better, of course, I'm just kinda low on money and this thing is very cheap, while ordering some HD AV packs from America isn't cheap at all. What about Hyperkin HD cable, as it's available here in Russia?
>>6811941
Not really, I understand that it's obviously not the best choice possible, it's just the cheapest one. Although I might just end buying RCA 90 degrees adapters, because my actual problem is that there is not enough gap between my TV and wall to connect RCA cables.

>>6809541
>Japanese game from before 7th gen
Most certainly has had it's source code deleted.

>>6812028
Cant find the modded iso but I found a patch, thanks for the info

this is a slow board
it wouldn't have been possible on /v/
which is why it belongs here

>>6810587
>>Microsoft basically used the Dreamcast as a test bed for their own console
No, they did not.

I have literally never touched an Xbox in my entire life, no one I knew had one, and it was pretty hard to see in the shelves too. Was it really that popular in the US?

>>6813797
Sure, it had some pretty big releases. All platforms were secondary to the PS2.

>>6813797
Sold more than Gamecube so yeah.

>>6782748
Isn't Fable Anniversary actually better though?

>>6813797
I knew exactly one kid that had one exclusively for Halo. At the time I was staunchly in the PS2 camp, but in retrospect the Xbox has some really neat titles compared to the ShovelStation Squared.

>>6807709
Dat sum ugly ass controller

>>6813797
I was the only kid with an xbox growing up, pretty much everyone had a ps2 with fifa and gran turismo. It was more popular than the gamecube at least.
t.Euro

>>6813575
I know.
I was impressed that this is a thread from first wave of 6th gen and it's still up.

>>6813928
No, it's actually awful.
Starting with sub-20fps and ending with killed art-style and visual.

>>6813797
>Was it really that popular in the US?
Yes, even my PS2 owning friends in school eventually got one for Halo.

>>6811071
I used to use one in combination with a HDMI to VGA converter to use a PC CRT monitor with my Xbox. It was a bit hacky but worked fine.

>>6814807
>composite to HDMI to VGA
ISHYGDDT. Just use a 13” crt tv at that point.

Does the Xbox actually support VGA? Reading around it requires you to flash the bios to support it.

Can anyone recommend a good third party controller? My originals switches for start and back have rusted and it's hard to find replacements.

>>6813594
It's like arguing that Sony used the SNES as a "test bed" for PlayStation because they made the SNES sound chip

>>6813797
I'm yuropoor and i knew plenty of people with an Xbox, but I've never seen or heard of anyone who had a GC

>>6813797
it sold 5 million more than GC in North America, also in Europe sold 3 million more than gamecube.

>>6814869
If you flash it with a VGA bios, it will output RGsB

I modded my xbox in like 2004 with a 120gb hard drive and the thing still works. I can't believe the drive has never crashed

>>6814032
It looks comfy as fuck. I want one.

I figured some of you guys are much smarter than me and have experience modding these yourself so hopefully I can get some help.
I bought a hardmodded xbox with a preloaded 2tb harddrive, and after a couple days of playing it started freezing when I'd try to soft reset or load games after completely rebooting it. After leaving it off for a bit it'll work again, but only for about an hour or so before having the same issues. I tried a replacement HDD as well as a new quality IDE to SATA adapter but I'm still having the problem.
Any idea what could be going on, lads?

>>6775724
How are you supposed to play at 480p on most consumer crts when 90% of them went up to 480i only? I know about pvms and large luxery CRTs but those things are either $1000 or are as large as 40 inches.

>>6817276
HD CRTs aren't that hard to find, and not all of them are huge.

>>6817342
The lowest size I've seen is 27in which unfortunately I don't have room for.

>>6817378
Then get a CRT PC monitor and either a component-to-VGA converter or mod it for RGsB (with an Extron sync interface if your monitor doesn't support sync-on-green). I think there are also ways to pull H- and V-sync from the video encoder, but I don't know much about it.

>>6817276
Just use a Pc monitor man

>>6814630
Does Fable emulate very well on a 360 or will it bug out on me?

Resident Evil 2 Remake Ok?

I mean, not on this board, of course, but in general?

Is it true that there's a way to have the xbox output 240p for emulators?

>>6817998
No, the Xbox literally just can't do 240p.

>>6818136
Wasn't there some kind of project around this?

>>6818204
Maybe? Seems to be possible according to this: https://www.xbox-hq.com/html/postt27123.html

>>6818224
Yep, looks like you can get true 240p out of the xbox
absolutely based

Did anyone actually buy one of these.? I feel like the internal memory was virtually endless.

>>6818367
It's for bringing saves to your friends house. You know how you could sign in to multiple profiles when playing games in multiplayer? Same idea. These days they're just for loading softmods easily.

Man I'm downloading DOA3 right now, hoping CXBX will run it ok on my Ryzen 3 mobile

>>6816913

>>6818224
people who have tested it said it doesn't work on SD CRT .

>>6818719
Gay.

>>6818367
Gotcha. Thanks anon.

>>6818367
I never used it for its intended purpose but I did have one I used for running the splinter cell exploit for installing softmods

>>6816913
Probably a hardware failure of some kind, I'd guess the capacitors are failing

>>6818484
lmao

>>6818719
Did you read the fucking post?
It's using the progressive output. So you need 31khz support

>>6818904
The seller specifically mentioned he recapped the motherboard, but I guess I'll have to take a look at it.

>>6818367
No, just use internal

>>6818367
I have an official one.

Whoa, whoa, whoa... Whoa.

I haven't browsed this board in probably over a year or two now.. When did they start allowing sixth generation consoles on here?

>>6820594

a couple days ago. some jokers think games made for the 360 and PS3 are now retro because they were released for windows as well. Thats a shitshow, but I agree with the 6th gen consoles being retro now

>>6820627
The rules make Crysis retro now. I mean it kind of is though. Games like it aren't made anymore.

>>6781487

What should i use to clean this up? I see white vinegar and rubbing alcohol seems to be the recommendation online.

By the way, thanks for mentioning this because i had somehow never heard of it until now.

>>6816715
>sync-on-green
eh, same thing the ps2 can output, hardly anything takes this natively, you'd need a sync stripper to turn it into something normal

>>6817276
while EDTVs do exist (480p-capable consumer tvs), 480p is useful for most people now for use on VGA monitors or any kind of modern tv

>>6818895
xbox memory cards are actually just usb flash drives
you can use a regular usb flash drive wired into a controller to do this exploit

>>6820116
xbox emulation progress has been extremely slow, there's hardly anyone working on it
like cxbx has been around for ages (about 18 years), but has only recently been taken back up, it was dead for years

it's been around as long as pcsx2, but just has had little developer interest

>>6793916
Thank you for showing me this, never knew this existed. Definitely on my to-buy list now.

>>6818367
I had a single official one, and only used it to transfer saves and other data to and from friends, brothers consoles etc. I think there was also something about saving your xbox live profile there so you could use your profile on a friends xbox or something, it's a little vague. To be honest I dont think all the features intended for it got used.
Even though I used it to transfer saves, some games restricted transferring and could not be moved to the memory card (which pissed me off back then).

>>6820797
cotton swabs, rubbing alcohol and patience.

>>6820797
I use an old tooth brush, a bit of alcohol (higher the percentage the better), and dry with some q-tips. Your Xbox looks like it wants a bit of fresh air though, I'd take a compressor to it for a bit. Shouldn't take too long to clean up.

I grew up with Playstation and finally picked up an original Xbox a few weeks ago but it stutters/freezes a lot in intensive games. Is that normal or did I get ripped off with a broken console?

>>6821104
no, that's not normal
have you opened it up? it could just be full of dust

Uncle gave me his old Xbox. Dunno how old it is but it came with the Duke, I'd say it's launch or very near. Haven't opened it up but is it safe to say it's already fucked? I don't think it was used much.

>>6821176
they only manufactured them for about 4 years, so at this point they're all about as old as any other
>is it safe to say it's already fucked?
only one way to find out

>>6820280
I got the majority of my money back, but I know I'm a retard for trusting retards.

>>6821205
Shit, I thought the newer revisions were fine. That's what my own Xbox is. Best get some stuff to open in.

>>6821535
>I thought the newer revisions were fine.
They are. But idk if you can tell without opening them up.

>>6821551
I remember checking the version on the menu. It's not modded or anything.

Anybody played this game? Is it any fun?

Few years ago I bought an (Xbox Controller To Female USB Adapter Converter Cable).
How can I use it?

I have the xbox without mod.

>>6822094
one common way to softmod an xbox is with a specially crafted savegame for a couple of specific games
since xbox memory cards are in fact just 8M usb flash drives, and the controller ports (both on the console and on the controllers) are regular usb ports, you can plug a regular usb flash drive into an xbox using an adapter such as the one you mentioned
if you load up such a special savegame onto your flash drive, then load the savegame in the appropriate game, you can then get the xbox to run some homebrew, at that point you can softmod the xbox (or flash a modified bios to do a hardmod)

>>6822124
does it also have other uses?
can you connect a keyboard? mouse?

>>6822292
I'm pretty sure you can't just using the USB adapters. I think they're only for storage. OGX360 will let you connect some USB controllers, though.

>>6822645
All the ports, both the controller ports and the memory card ports on controllers, are just funny shaped USBs on the original Xbox. But you're right, it doesn't really support anything exotic you couldn't do already. And on 360, wired controllers all used USB across all models. Quite common for third party ones since Microsoft was weirdly stingy about letting others use their 2.4ghz.

>>6822742
by OGX360, i mean this this thing

>>6822771
Huh, I was unaware that existed. Thought you were just specifically meaning the original external design.
Reminds me of a third party controller I had years ago for the original Xbox which was essentially a 360 controller counterpart, down to moving black and white to the shoulder positions. Really comfy but I haven't had it for years.

>>6818367
Need one with a profile on it to play this offline.

>>6822838
can you connect this to scthack and ephinea yet?

>>6822921
No I'm not sure. I just got lucky and found a card with a random profile on it.

>>6822838
Or just download a modded iso

>>6822838
does it have offline mode?

>>6806816

Once again, where is Terminator 3 Redemption. You pieces of shit, its literally better than the mediocre movie its based on. You put King Kong on these lists, you put Butcher Bay, where is T3.

r8 my xbox game list (It doesn't have T3 Redemption on it fuck that shit) https://pastebin.com/wwj3m0hf

>>6822292
if you run an xbox version of linux, you can use anything you like with them (especially a keyboard/mouse)
otherwise not really, there's no reason for xbox games to support anything they don't already

>>6823686
Yeah but like I said you ahve to have a memory card with a profile pre loaded on it.
You can't connect to XB live to make one.

>>6824556
or just download a save
or just play a modded iso
or just play it on shitcube because this is a straight port

just played through mercenaries. it's simple and janky. it actually held my attend through the to the end which is surprising given the repetitiveness. it's tough in some parts but because of all the gameplay styles and options, it's easy to cheese through stuff if it gets too hard.

Both my Xbox drives are broken/quit so I don't see the point of collecting for it. I already have ~50 games that are now functionless. I have to redownload them all. I'll never see the point in collecting disc-based games when the drives fail like this.

Saddest thing is I have the first ~55 OXM discs and you can't exactly find all of those online nor would I really want to dedicate ~200gb of HDD space storing them even if I could.

>>6784237
Got into Tenchu because of this port. I remember playing through those coop levels that end if you or the other person was seen by a guard. Lots of yelling between me and my relative over who fucked up which then lead to us punching each other a bunch.

so stop bitching and replace/fix the dvd drive

>>6825818
No. Learn to read next time idiot.

>>6825818
not him, but that's a losing battle, xbox dvd drives haven't been made for 16 years, replacements will continue to become harder to find, more expensive to buy, and last less time
the solution isn't replacing the drive, it's avoiding it in the first place, for a long time now you've been able to run games from the xbox's internal hdd, for which there are new parts for (you can buy off-the-shelf hdd/ssd's as well as adapters to IDE, no need to keep finding original xbox hdds)

It was devastating as I enjoyed the Genesis, Saturn, and Dreamcast greatly to see Sega unable to continue coupled with financial hardships at the time, quitting videogames was easy. The money situation has not improved much but there does seem to be a lot of great games I missed out on.

>>6796176
Got the latter, and I have heard of the former. When we get through this COVID thing, I'll be on the lookout for Stubbs. Loved Outrun Online Arcade which made me finally understand the series and 2 is pretty cheap, but Coast 2 Coast is out of my pay grade.

I had to get Gunvalkyrie, it's like a long lost Dreamcast title to me. I guess it is my fault for passing on the Hitman games. I keep hearing Blood Money is the one to go for and the new ones are really good leveraging beefy hardware. Is Contracts a good place to start or would you recommend starting from the beginning?

Thanks! Found a few more not on the shelf. Having quit videogames, I did miss out on Halo. I heard MCC allows you to switch to the originals, would that be acceptable or is it inauthentic? All these great titles you named, should be a lot to catch up to and find, I just fear the current prices I keep hearing about.

I got my xbox running xbmc and play games through hard drives. I would love to have the dvd reader working again, though. It was already not working when I bought it.
I have read that finding a replacement is pretty difficult and the easiest way would be just to get another xbox to try and salvage the drive. Are there other options?

>>6826301
Fixing it, which depending on what's wrong with it, may be impossible.

Common fixes include disassembly, cleaning and re-lubricating the drive's parts, and sticking a price sticker on the top of the drive in order to fix the "drive won't open" problem where the electromagnet becomes weaker and sticks over time.

You can replace the drive with a flashed version of a PC drive of specific models only that are also old. I'm not going to specify further on that one. Look it up if you care.

how is the punisher?

>>6780193
What do those boxes do as opossed to a cord like this.

>>6822838
Can't you just get a USB cable adapter and then download a save off the internet?

Heh, good luck.

I have not opened it. A friend of mine likes the Playstation 2 version. Tells me about how he enjoys torturing the enemies.

>>6826613
That's why I ask. There's a lot I do not know.

>>6826647
Wut? I do.

>hurr picture of stuff I found at Goodwill
do we need a reminder that physical media exists

>>6826338
Mine is a 2003 revision, drive opens and closes with no issues. I've watched a couple of videos that got it working by giving it a good clean, maybe a small pot tweak. Never tried it, will go for it.

He's a retarded coomlector that wants to play his disks.

not give you tinnitus for starters

If your Xbox is chipped you can use any PC drive with it with only minor modification. Slim IDE drives are very commonly used

>>6826828
Nice. You got any other imports?

>>6826893
Lol seriously?. I'm not sure how Xbox modding works since mine already came with XBMC and a 120gb HDD. You reckon its chipped?

>>6826895
Not really, Xbox Classics version of PGR2 from Italy count?

>>6826529
I've been wondering that too. All the XOSVP seems to do is run the video signals through a THS7316 and break out the optical audio. So I guess you get a 36 MHz low-pass filter for your video (which whatever sink you're attaching it to probably already has anyway), but apart from that I'm not sure what purpose it serves. Is it literally only for optical audio?

>>6826898
Pretty sure what he's talking about only works with burned media, so what's the point.

>>6827136
it's noise free unlike shitty generic cables

>>6827249
It doesn't have any cables at all, so that's going to depend on what cables you hook up to it. And if you compare it to a decent cable made with shielded and impedance-matched conductors, I still don't see any point to the XOSVP/HD AV Pack other than for optical audio breakout.

>>6827305
The second rev HD cables are the ones to get. Stupid high quality on them. The chinese $6 cables are pure garbage.

is a beat em up like the sega saturn one?

>>6827305
You have no fucking idea what you're talking about if you think shitty $5 generic cables are as good as the HD AV pack or the XOSVP

>>6828887
You also apparently have no idea how to read.
>if you compare it to a decent cable made with shielded and impedance-matched conductors

>>6828901
There are no decent made cables anymore you stupid fucking faggot.
You either buy some used shit where you have no idea how fucked the wiring is under the insulation, or just pay $40 for an XOSVP and some monoprice component cables.

>>6828997
So make one, dumbass. It's not that difficult.

>>6829012
I'm good.

>>6828371
No is RPG like Baldurs Gate. The Console one, NOT the PC...

>>6826876
i understand, but he has to be realistic
keep getting dvd drives if you like, but be prepared to start running from hdd as well

My Xbox collection! Behold.....
