Xecuter DIY Corona16 CoolRunner Posted by GaryOPA | July 11 19:34 EST | News Category: Xbox360

Team-Xecuter has posted a guide outlining the process that will glitch 16MB Corona's using a CoolRunner or any other standard XC2C64A based glitch board. If you don't want to wait for the upcoming CoolRunner 3 -and have the right tools- Team-Xecuter has released an useful tutorial outlining the process to glitch 16MB Corona's using a CoolRunner or any other standard XC2C64A based glitch board. According to T-X: [QUOTE] It's still RGH2 based and is no where near as good and fast and reliable as the CoolRunner 3 / RGH3 – but for those that want to have a play until then, you can easily do a DIY upgrade by adding a 48.000MHz crystal. A NAND-X or JR programmer v1 can still be used to read/write the 16MB NAND. The pic shows a Rev A, we're just putting together the info for the Rev B and Rev C too and will get all of that code and parts info posted shortly. [/QUOTE] See our forums or the official source for the full tutorial, if you want to give it a shot. News-Source: Xecuter DIY Corona16 Coolrunner free upgrade (via) Team-Xecuter

Here's the full tutorial:

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS CORONA RGH METHOD IS NOT TOO RELIABLE AND DOES NOT GLITCH AT THE BEST SPEEDS. THE HACK IS MADE AVAILABLE SO YOU CAN HAVE A PLAY WITH THIS YOURSELF AND SEE WHAT RESULTS YOU CAN ACHIEVE.

THIS IS WHY WE DESIGNED THE COOLRUNNER 3, IT HAS BEEN FINE TUNED USING A MUCH MORE ADVANCED DESIGN AND GLITCHES VERY RELIABLY AND VERY FAST. WE DO NOT OFFER ANY GUARANTEES OR SUPPORT WITH THIS CORONA METHOD.

To get this working on CoolRunner Rev A B or C you simply have to add a 48.000MHz crystal.

If you have Rev A or Rev B remember to remove C15.

It's a bit cheap and cheerful and the hack isn't that good with the limitations of the older gen XC264A hardware but here it is anyway.

The crystal has to be good quality - not some cheap crappy one as it will not work.

These work very well:

48.000MHz crystal wiring to the CoolRunner:
PIN 1,4 to 3v3
PIN 2 to GND
PIN 3 to B

We have included 6 files with different timings

tx_corona_0_2.xsvf
tx_corona_0_3.xsvf
tx_corona_1_2.xsvf
tx_corona_1_3.xsvf
tx_corona_2_2.xsvf
tx_corona_2_3.xsvf

The most important point is the CPU_RST - this will make the difference between a 30 second glitch and a 30 minute glitch.

You may want to try using the CPU RESET CLEANER addon that we released - it works very well with RGH1 and RGH2.

We also recommend you try the different wire layouts as per the original CoolRunner instructions.

CoolRunner 3 is in production right now - you will get to see how Slim glitching should be done

Thanks to GliGli & Tiros for the original RGH exploit.

On a side note....

These are the crappy glitch times you should expect (measured with the CoolRunner 3 RATER)

These are cycles - not seconds (1 cycle = 5 seconds). In our opinion it just isn't worth
paying for - so we encourage you not to buy a CoolRunner REV C or any other XC642A based
glitcher just to do Corona - you will probably be dissapointed.
