I have a modified Xbox (original one). Played it for years and had some games burned on it. Also had a CD that had every original nintendo game on it that would work on the Xbox. Recently I turned on the Xbox to let my son play and see the games we used to play as kids and it won't work anymore. I don't know what happened. Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks Sam
Really appreciate any important or support.

Probably a cold solder joint or maybe the chip came loose from the pinheader.

I'll be totally honest with I don't know much about this... Tried reading up/watch videos and got confused. It used to work perfectly. I would turn it on and play games that were burned on it etc... Now it turns out and goes to the ms dashboard, once I click on it it continues to come back to the dashboard. Thoughts?

Well you'd have to open the console to check out if the chip came loose or if the d0 wire came loose or is a cold solder joint.

If it's a 1.0-1.5 it could be the leaking capacitor and is it turning on at all or is it fraging ( 2 reboots then green red blinking)?
What Xecuter chip is it ? (Xecuter 1, 2, 2.6 or 3)

Hey Darkgabbz,

Thanks for replying... It's a xecuter2. Purchased it long time ago. It already had games burned on it that I would play all the time and also came with a CD that had every Nintendo, Sega, etc game on it that would allow you to play. I turn it on (has a switch on it that allows you switch into the regular Xbox form or the xecuter. I switch it into the xecuter form, turns on, takes me to Ms dashboard, setting, flash Bois, reboot, option screen... It used to also allow me to go to another screen option as in "lunch DVD, lunch game, etc.. (no longer does). I'm not really good at this tech stuff at all, just wanted to see if it's a easy fix so my son can enjoy this thing.. Any support would be appreciated.. Thanks

That means the modded dashboard is broken.

And are you sure that the Xecuter 2 bios is enabled?

Went to the link you provided, burned it to a CD, then put in the Xbox and nothing happened... Didn't even give me the option of installing anything. I hope I didn't do anything wrong.

Burn it to a DVD rather than a CD, most Xbox drives have trouble reading cd-r disks.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
