I am using the stock IDE cable. I have an 80 wire cable on order that hasn't come in yet, but was going to try that next.

Any updates regarding if your 80-wire IDE cable arrived? If so, let me know how the installation goes.

Mine was a Xenium Black Ice or Duo X3 modchip.

I purchased an Original Xbox back in May of 2023 just so I want to experience what its like to own one again for the very first time. My dad used to have one until he sold it about a year or so later. I've heard of something called Cerbios, which is a custom BIOS with an extensive amount of features. I went to work and bought an OpenXenium and Xbox 1.1 model from eBay and successfully chipped it.

Is this tool safe to use?

Try reflowing the LPC pin header or install a LPC rebuild QSB.

Okay, good. Did you make sure to connect BT on the chip to GND?

What console revision do you have, and how are you programming the chip?

That is sick. Good job.

You must have prior soldering experience before proceeding. This is in no way, shape or form, a guide on how to solder.

Requirements:

• OpenOCD-XPack (download)
• XBlast CPLD files - only download the ones with (.SVF) (download)
• FT232RL UART adapter - either a clone or original

1. Download the latest release of the OpenOCD-XPack, then extract the contents to an empty folder.

2. Inside the "/bin/" folder, create a new file called "openocd.cfg". Open the file using your preferred text editor, then make the following changes:

#daemon configuration
telnet_port 4444
gdb_port 3333

adapter driver ft232r
adapter speed 500
ft232r restore_serial 0x15
transport select jtag
jtag newtap LC4032V tap -irlen 8 -expected-id 0x01805043

3. Next, use a set of male-to-male jumper wires, and solder the JTAG connections from the Aladdin chip to the FT232 adapter as follows:

(ENSURE THAT THE JUMPER ON THE FTDI IS SET TO +3.3V AND NOT +5V!)

4. Open a new terminal window inside of the current directory of "/bin/" and type "sudo ./openocd -f openocd.cfg" (no quotations) and press Enter. OpenOCD will wait until a debugger is connected. Then, in another terminal window, type "xterm -e telnet localhost 4444" (no quotations), from there, you can send commands to OpenOCD.

5. Inside of the Telnet window, type "svf" followed by the filename of the SVF file you wish to program (i.e., svf "1MB OSSUPPORT.SVF"), then press Enter to write it to the chip.
 

6. You're all set!

Finalized gerbers for Cheapmod Mini v2. Let me know if there are any issues with the PCB; I have thoroughly checked the traces and everything seems to be in order.

BOM:

U1: SST49LF020-PLCC32

C1 - 0.1uF 0603

PPTC062LFBN-RC (for the connector)

I know that can be done, I'm just wondering if there's a wiring diagram to add a switch....something I can mount to the front panel.

Why do you need to add a switch? XBlastOS allows to add multiple BIOS images.

Last night I managed to flash two different Aladin XT Plus 2's with the latest Cerbios using the 2.3.2   DVD   I did the first one with a knock off I ordered from Amazon.ca   in a 1.0 xbox  and then I just did a successful flash of a 1.6 xbox  both worked flawless and i was able to flash the udma 2  then the udma 5 versions  back and forth without issue.   if anyone wants links to the ones i ordered or the process let me know i'll write it out more in depth if someone else wants to give it a go.   it showed up as a v57  and also shows that its the 002 chip during the flash but still works just fine.   saved me from having to order a programmer.

 

Thanks to everyone who created all these tools and software and blazed the trail.   2 fully modded xboxes in the house with latest cerbios and fake aladins co-operating.

 

Vikingmop.

Glad to hear that one of these fake chips actually work with the Cerbios Disc.

Wicked, thanks for the template! I ended up getting some Lightscribe disks on eBay. Gonna try it out with this Cerbios label you made, although after my rough test, I think a lot of it may get cut off. I've never actually used light-scribe, but I don't think the surface is as large as a normal printable DVD. If it turns out nice I'll make up a case for it too.

 

The label was more designed for printable discs in mind because of the small moulded hub. I can create you one for a LightScribe disc if you wish.

I mean, NAND replacements exist.

Its theoretically possible to disable the e-fuses and downgrade to an older dashboard by following the guide from ConsoleMods.

Do you have a recommended method of DVD label creation?

I use this template to create the labels, you'll need to have GIMP or convert it to a usable format for whichever editing program that you're using (i.e., Photoshop). Then, for the printing, I use Inkscape to import the labels and print them out onto printable discs.

Created a DVD label for those who want to print one.

It's not realy in beta stage anymore. The disc just miss some png's and a "final" or at least Cerbios 2.3.2 beta  (The 2.3.2 alpha is on there as well as ElpisHD).  Other than that it's pretty final.

I'm pretty sure I know this already, everything is very much final.
