dink: can you post what bios's you have used and the results (which ones recognize the extra RAM ok). From what I have read, the x2 bios's work fine, but have you (or anyone else) tried using a evox bios?

TIA.

Xecuter2 BIOSes (4876, 4977, 4978, 4979 and 4980) enables the extra 64 meg of memory.

Evox M6 and M7 do NOT enable the extra 64 meg of memory.

Hopefully, this feature can be added to the BIOS comparision chart on XBS. So, if you plan to add the additional 64 meg, make sure you have a BIOS that recognizes it. My tested using the following: 1.0 Xbox w/128 meg XBMP and XBMC MAMEoX Memcheck If someone knows the location and hex values that need to be changed in a BIOS, to support 128meg. Can you please post it. 128 meg supported BIOS's.

About defragging xbox drive - I seem to recall reading something about XFAT not fragmenting files. In that case, a format wouldn't help your problems. How would MS expect users to defrag HDD after years of use anyway. Maybe you are overheating or experiencing some other performance loss.

Let me remind you that MS never intended for games to actually run off the XBOX harddisk. Let alone off 100+GB harddisks. The cache partitions are formatted between games i think so u dont have a problem there. The E: Partition is supposed to be used for ripped music and saves, none of which actually need THAT high harddrive performance to demand a defragment once in a while.

I hope people will find this info useful

v0.3 Just added a little more stuff

128 RAM Upgrade

Does Xbox-Linux support additional RAM?
Yes, it is said that Xbox-Linux does support 128 mb RAM. Here is a link to a News Post on X-S
http://www.xbox-scene.com/xbox1data/news-a...ve-7-9-2003.php

So basically, all I have to do is solder in extra RAM and I am ready to go?
No. It is not completely confirmed yet, but you will have to use a newer versions of x2 bios (Do NOT ask where to get it !!!) for extra RAM to be recognized or else your Xbox will give you Orange/Red flashings. You will also have to use program like RAMDelimit to remove the limit from XBE's (available at X-S Tools page)

DVD-ROM

Ok,
I have a real big problem.

I sent my Xbox Motherboard off to have the 128 mb memory Upgrade done by Friendtech and received it back.

My Xbox was already flashed with the X2_4976_02 1 mg bios. I have a v1.0 motherboard.
I did not use any mod chip, this was flashed on my original Xbox motherboard by bridging the two flash points together on top and bottom, and using the 007 exploit trick.
Now when I try to boot, my Xbox flashes Orange/Red. So I’m thinking this is what’s happening to me as described above. I do not wish to use any mod chips.

Is there any way to fix this without using a mod chip?
Can I somehow flash my mb back to it’s original bois and then reflash?

That’s Executer version 4976 bios.

Thanks to Sottilde!

I get Error 16! What do I do?
Error 16... EXPLAINED...
Yes, it is a DASH ERROR, but it is due to the TIME
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
NORMAL BOOT PROCESS:
1.Xbox turns on
2. several checks are done for hardware, incuding RAM, HD, and DVD-DRIVE, just to test if they are present
3.Xbox checks SYSTEM TIME -> if no time is found -> boot dash off hard drive to set time
4. Xbox looks for default.xbe on DISC, if it is not found, goto 5
5. Xbox boots dash off of Hard drive

What is happening in your case:
1.Xbox turns on
2. several checks are done for hardware, incuding RAM, HD, and DVD-DRIVE, just to test if they are present
3.Xbox checks SYSTEM TIME ->TIME NOT FOUND -> Xbox tries to launch dash off of hard drive -> DASH NOT FOUND-> ERROR 16 - DASH ERROR

The fix:
Put back in your OLD drive (the one with the dash's still on it)
Set the time
Swap the drives without physically unplugging the xbox.

Blind_Samuri.. thanks for the RAM info, great post!!

just like to point somthing out about overclocking, if you can study the friendtechs box it just might be very possible. they have a 1.4ghz celeron xbox right? it has a switch to change its clock to 740mhz, yes. so if you can study where this switch is soldered to it could be very soon in our future that overclocking can be done.i based this on absolutley nothing(j/k)
