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.

128 RAM Upgrade
Is this whole RAM upgrade thing real?
Yes it is real. People have reported to successfully upgrade their Xbox memory to 128mb.

Is there a tutorial on this?
Yes. But it is not for newbies!!
http://unmodded.mine.nu/docs/UpgradingXboxMemory

Are there any pictures we can see of completed process?
Pictures are now available!!
But, you can check out the picture of a Dev Kit Xbox with 128mb RAM.

http://xbox-wired.com/~armyofone/Xdk/retail128/
Thanks |GateKeeper| and ArmyofONE from Xbox-Wired

If I upgrade my RAM, what improvements will I see?
You won’t see any game speed difference, because the games were coded with 64mb in mind so they are not suited for another 64mb of RAM. It is said if the RAM upgrade is successful, MAME emulator for Xbox will be able to play larger ROMs that were not playable at 64 mb. Extra 64mb of RAM is also useful for developers.

Is it hard to upgrade my RAM?
The upgrading Xbox RAM is very hard and challenging process. It is definitely not for newbies. It requires good soldering skills and a lot of patience.

I would like to read more on this topic, where can I find more info?
You can search this forum for “RAM upgrade” or “memory upgrade”. It should give you a number of posts related to this topic.
Also please read this thread on XboxHacker forums. It definitely should clear many things up.

I want somebody to upgrade my RAM, is there anybody who does it?
Yes, many individuals on these forums do memory upgrades.

I want videos... are there any?
Yes, check here. You may have to scan through the thread to a link that works

I still want to upgrade my RAM, where can I get the chips for the most reasonable price?
There are large electronic resellers like USBid http://www.usbid.com/ that require a minimum purchase of $ 500 or more.....
The other way is to buy a broken motherboard on Ebay or from Llamma http://www.llamma.com/xbox/ShoppingCart/Br..._Xbox_Parts.htm
or check the Buy/Sell/Trade Forum and see if anybody will trade or donate a broken motherboard.

What would be the best way to remove the chips from the broken motherboard?
the best way would be to use ChipQuik SMD removal kit.

How can I solder the chips into the motherboard?
Here is a good giude written by numbnut on how to mount SMD chips -->http://warmcat.com/milksop/soldering.html

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

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)

The best way to get the RAM chips is to buy GeForce 2 GTS Pro 64MB DDR .

You can use these RAM chips: K4D 263238M - QC50, or QC40, or even K4D263238D-QC50.

I soldered additional 64Megs to my first Xbox, but with no succes. It wasn't so hard actually. The hardest part was desoldering that thingies off of my Xbox . But I did it succesfully this time. Too bad I fucked up my friends box, so I had to give mine to him .

Now I'm waitin for my second Xbox, and I have RAM chips from that fucked up console . Wish me luck .

According to opcode's posts on xboxhacker, you *can* run a stock Xbox with added RAM. Of course, it's only useable if you're running a replacement BIOS, but what I'm getting at is that this particular point seems to indicate that once you upgrade your RAM, you're stuck with keeping your modchip on, or else the box won't boot.

At least, that's the way I took it.

Guide To Installing a New HDD with Software Hacks
(Taken from Sottilde - thanks!!)


TUTORIAL ----------------------------------------------------------------


Part 1 - Collecting Keys and Preparation - Part 1


1. Using 007 hack or font/audio hack, use Evolution-X's 'backup' feature. FTP into the xbox and copy the C:backup folder over to somewhere on your computer.

1a. Run LiveInfo and make sure the new HD you are going to use for the xbox is lockable - Locking: NOT LOCKED is lockable, Locking: NOT SUPPORTED is NOT lockable. Your only chance with that drive is to flash your TSOP or get a modchip.

2. Open up your xbox case, unplug the original HD, and put it somewhere safe.

3. Download atapwd and hddunlock from xbins.

4. Grab norton ghost and create a boot floppy - No need for LPT, USB, CD-R support, etc.

5. Unzip and put atapwd and hddunlock in their own folders - e.x. a:atapwd a:hddunlock

6. Grab hdprepar and zero the first 4096 sectors on the drive to be put into the xbox. BE VERY CAREFUL! You might have your OS's drive and the new drive be the same size. Usually they vary by a few megabytes, though. Use that as a reference. If you zero your OS's drive, you may be able to save yourself with PartitionMagic (search google - You'll have to either buy it or crack it).

7. Once that finishes (should be relatively fast, 5 seconds or so) run liveinfo. Click 'load eeprom' and direct it to the backup folder you downloaded from the xbox. Point it to eeprom.bin . Make sure the HD you want to put in the xbox is selected.

8. Write down the key that shows up in the bottom half of the screen - should be 40 characters. Make sure that in the top half, the bottom-most field is NOT all 0's. If it is, try loading the EEPROM again. Also, open and write down/print hddkey.txt . VERY IMPORTANT!!!


Part 2 - Unlocking Drives - Part 2


9. Turn off your computer. Pop out your OS's HD. Put the xbox HD on the Primary IDE channel - no other devices hooked up. Put the HD you are going to put in the xbox on the secondary channel, also with no slave. Make sure both HDs are either set to CS or Master.

10. Set to boot from floppy in your BIOS, and pop in the floppy we prepared earlier. It should load for a minute or so.
As soon as Ghost loads WRITE DOWN the license. I have NO idea why but it asks for this later. Some odd security feature.
QUIT ghost.

11. Type:

cd atapwd
atapwd.exe

Check to make sure both drives are listed. You should see SELFXV written at the top. The replacement drive should only have S checked, with the rest -'s. The xbox drive should have E and L checked, as well.

12. Type:
cd..
cd hddunl~1
hdunlock.exe

Select the xbox's HD. Type in the password you printed from hddkey.txt . Don't bother putting in the colons, and you don't need to type the 0's at the end.

13. Type:
cd..
cd atapwd
atapwd.exe

Make sure that the L now has a - for the xbox HD.

14. Type:
cd..
cd hddunl~1
hddisabl.exe

Select the xbox HD, and type in the password from hddkey.txt again, in the same format (no colons, no 0's at the end).

15. Type:
cd..
cd atapwd
atapwd.exe

Make sure that both the E and the L now have -'s for the xbox HD.

If they do, great! Your xbox HD is now unlocked! (note - hdunlock.exe unlocks the HD, hddisabl prevents it from relocking itself).


Part 3 - Cloning Your Xbox HD - Part 3


16. Type:
cd..
cd ghost
ghostpe.exe /ir

This will start ghost in Raw Mode. After it loads up (you did write down that license, right? If not, here's your chance to write it down again). Now, move the mouse to the bottom-left of the screen (to pop up the menu) and select disk -> to disk.

17. Select the source and destination drives - Source is xbox HD, destination is new HD. Allow it to finish copying (should be 10 minutes max). Once it finishes, quit ghost.


Part 4 - Locking Drives - Part 4


18. Type:
cd..
cd hddunl~1
hdlock.exe

Now, you need to lock BOTH drives. Use the password from hddkey.txt to lock the xbox HD (that is, if you want to keep it as a backup, which is VERY VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED). Use the password you got from LiveInfo to lock the replacement HD.

19. Type:
cd..
cd atapwd
atapwd.exe

Check both drives in atapwd. They should be locked now.


Congrats! Your HD is now prepared - The easy, no hdd-driver, no linux way!

20. Pop the replacement HD into the xbox case. MAKE SURE the jumper is set to CS (cable select).

Close up the xbox case (don't screw it in just yet) and plug in the xbox. Hook it up and turn it on. If you did it right, it'll boot up and everything will be fine. If you get an error 6, or related errors, put the replacement HD and xbox HD back in your computer, unlock/disable them both (xbox hd uses hddkey.txt password, replacement HD uses LiveInfo password). Repeat steps 16-20.


Good luck with it! Mods: Possible sticky?

I can do anything with the Xbox. In Denmark of course . RAM addition, TSOP flash, everything .

Well, I'd really rather keep it domestic, for the same reasons I outlined above (US Customs, all of that nonsense).

Does anyone in the US still do RAM installations?

Is there a tutorial on this? There is no definite tutorial on how to do this.

I'll take a crack at it.

How to install an additional 64 meg into XBOX's.

I recommend using 4 BRAND NEW memory chips. Not from another MB or Video card. You can run into problems by using other memory chips that were removed via some type of heat method. Heat can destroy these chips!

Most of this comes from my 8+ yrs of soldering experience and from this instructional site, that has a video clip, showing how to solder SMT chips.

CAUTION: Before adding the memory or doing any other mods, make sure your box is unplug and you are grounded from any Static Electricity!!

PREP WORK: The XBox MB's that I upgraded were 1.0's and 1.1's. When looking at the memory pads, you will notice a little mound of solder on each of them. I removed the extra solder for all of the memory pads first, with solder wick. The video show the pads being tinned, not having a mound solder on them. You can tell by looking at the memory pads and run your finger across them. With the memory pads being tinned and the chips being tinned, is ample enough of solder to do the job.

1. Placed a small amount flux around the pads. (just like in the video, but use much less)

2. Line up pin 1 of the chip with pin 1 on the MB. Look at the another memory chip on the MB as a comparision.

3. Align the pins

4. Check the alignment of all pins, on each sides.

5. Tack down one pin in a corner with the Solder iron. (DO NOT ADD ANY SOLDER)

6. Check aligment again!

7. Tack down one pin on the opposite corner. (DO NOT ADD ANY SOLDER)

8. Check alignment. (After the next step, there is NO turning back!!)

9. Now slowly move the solder iron along the pins on each side, just like in the video.

10. Double check for any shorts between pins with a magnify glass. I used my wife's embroidery magnify glass. As you can see in the picture below, a digital camera works great!

11. Now repeat this process for the 3 other memory chips. 2 on each side of the board.

If you compare the pins on the chip you just soldered in, with other memory chip, you will see that there is less solder on your chip. This if fine. With the solder still tinned on the pad and the solder tinned on pins of the chip, there is plenty of solder to do the job.

As for difficulty, it was challenging.

Other suggestions:
DON'T RUSH IT!
Take you time!
Do 1 chip an hour!

The 1st time I did this, it took over 4 hrs. (I did not remove the mounds of solder first) Afterwards, I found lots of shorts.
The 2nd time it took an hour. (This time I removed the mounds of solder first) Afterwards, I found 3 shorts.
The 3rd time it took 45 mins. No shorts

Here is a sample of one of the chips I soldered in.
If you look closely, in the RED circles you will see a couple of solder bridges.


Once you have soldered them and the pins look good, you should double check each voltage (VDD, VDDQ) pins with an ohm meter to ground. In a German 64 meg installation PDF file, it shows which pins are the VDD and VDDQ pins.

You can do a quick test, by only powering up the MB. You don't need to connect up the drives yet. Once powered up, you should get the normal GREEN LED and the "X" logo. Assuming you are using the retail BIOS.

If you get FRAO (Flashing Red And Orange) you have a short somewhere or an open!

Once you get the normal GREEN LED, you can then reassemble the box.
I then loaded up XBMP and went to "System", "Status" and view the memory status. You should see 95/128MB.


Good Luck!

Well, that's the only route you've got for now. There is currently no Xbox disk defrag program. The only way to do it is to pull all the data off of it and then put it back in order.

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.

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.

Dink...

Here is a list of BIOS's, that DO support 128 meg. 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.

It works PERFECT, even cd-rw etc etc. I have used them for a while and never had 1 problem whether i burn my discs at 4 x, 6x or 8x!

I got a pioneer 107 dvd rw in ma pc so i can burn at 8x!!

Many thanks

Please post!

Thanks

i couldn't help but notice that on the second page in your post you had a quote saying something to the extent: Does the front side bus come with the motherboard, or do you have to buy that separately. i assume you meant that to be funny, and it is, because i really doubt the person who said that knew what i am about to say: really, really old AT style motherboards and before you had to buy a front side bus and install it separately. of course now, they are all integrated into the motherboard, or in the case of some of AMD 64's chips, its integrated right into the chip. i know this isn't related to the topic, but here it is, jfyi
