RGH Help

Normal xell only displays video through composite/yellow, but I don't think that's the problem if it booted up originally. You probably have xell reloaded or xellous.

where would the yellow cable get plugged into? The tv does not have a slot for it, except on the side where the red/yellow/white cables are, but I Think that's standard RCA connector, right?

the video is composite, so that's (red, white, and yellow) where it would go.

 

[MikeTheKnight2016]

Yeah I think the newest one is on Octal450's page iirc.

i found v 3.2.0 on Github....

Is that the most recent version?

Gosh, I'm an idiiot...the page is for Octal450

ahhhh, so the yellow cable that i have not plugged in should go into the red/white/yellow ports/slots on the side of the tv....I'll try that here shortly and report back.

okay for kicks and giggles, I plugged the yellow cable in and pressed the eject button of the cd drive. Never booted into xell, saw the green light on the cr4 chip flashing every 2 - 3 seconds and waited roughly 5 minutes but never booted.

My JRunner is showing it will be here in the next 4.- 6 hours so hopefully i'll be able to figure something out there

bummer, I guess there is something wrong with the chip or wiring (probably wiring by the looks of it), but who knows at this point.

 

[MikeTheKnight2016]

Argh, if it's def the wiring I'll have to ship that puppy off. I've never done any soldering work before and don't even have the equipment to do such.

 

[godreborn]

if you have to send it off, I'm not sure if it's worth fixing up or not. rgh consoles aren't very expensive from what I've seen.

Are you finding them on Google? This site? Where are you looking so I know where to start

 

[godreborn]

think it was ebay, because I have a second jtag that I was hoping to sell for $400 before rgh existed, but now they're nearly worthless. lol

 

[MikeTheKnight2016]

I found a site on Google that will sell a slim or phat rgh for $135

Is that good price or can I find cheaper if I keep searching?

 

[godreborn]

probably good. I was thinking $125, but that's close. I don't know how much someone will charge you to fix the machine, so you might inquire before you do anything.

 

[MikeTheKnight2016]

The best I've been able to find is $50 for repairing an rgh, but it's about $20 fore to ship it so it's about half the price of a new one.

Oh I hope this jrunner fixes things!!!

 

[godreborn]

yeah, it's not worth investing that much into a fix. most consoles aren't worth fixing if you have to send it off, unless they're current gen.

 

[godreborn]

btw, make sure a fixed console or a new rgh comes with some sort of warranty. standard is probably only 90 days at most though.

Yeah, that was 1st thing I looked for...this one gives a standard 90 day or I can get 12 months for $25 (worth it IMO)

 

[godreborn]

yeah, I'd go with the 12 months, not a bad price for that extension.

 

[MikeTheKnight2016]

Might be a stupid query but am I better off getting a new rgh or should I look at a jtahg?

you probably won't find a jtag, since they were only exploitable up to 7371 iirc. it's been a very long time, so I may be wrong on the version.

 

[MikeTheKnight2016]

okay - my JRunner was just delivered....I've got the chip and 3 cables...

What am I actually connecting this to on the xbox? I've got a good youtube video on JRunner RGH Tutorial...but I haven't found anything on how to connect the JRunner....
