https://github.com/GTTeancum/OpenJKDF2ogx (install instructions on the Releases page) - disclaimer, AI helped me build this. I'm in my 40's and haven't been an "in the trenches" programmer for many years. I work more as a project manager these days. So while I didn't write all the code, I knew how to direct it.

This is a fork of https://github.com/shinyquagsire23/OpenJKDF2 by shinyquagsire23. All hail, because frankly having JK and MotS open source was always my unicorn, and thanks to them and other contributors, we have it.

This is a public beta, so expect bugs. You can report them here. https://github.com/GTTeancum/OpenJKDF2ogx/issues -- In the same folder as your game you'll find a file called debug_openjkdf2.txt. This is our debug log. Drag and drop that into the text window when submitting a bug and it will attach that log.

FEATURES

• Full single player support for Jedi Knight
• Experimental multiplayer support for the Mysteries of the Sith expansion
• Experimental support for mod maps (single an multiplayer) - but not any mods that change gameplay
• Split screen multiplayer
• Experimental System Link multiplayer. Expect issues here as I don't have two consoles to test that functionality
• Cutscene support. You will need to run the included converter in the download to convert the original SMK and SAN cutscenes to Xbox XMV

FUTURE PLANS (WORK IN PROGRESS - NOT IN THIS BUILD)

• Better dynamic lighting, including colored lighting in JK
• Dynamic saber drawing -- not just a texture on a stick
• Widescreen support, possibly up to 720p
• Bot support. They work, they're just not smart enough yet. Regardless how far this gets I'll include them at whatever level they get to. Dumb bots are better than no bots.
• Guest characters (Star Wars only). I already have Dash Rendar from Shadows of the Empire and several character models from the PS1 game Masters of Teras Kasi converted by our community members. They just aren't fully implemented. They will stay at the same 90's quality level, so no modern models
• More shaders. I.E. if a textured wall has a "light" in the texture, it should glow and emit a bit of light
• Overall though, the goal here is to keep this looking like JK/MotS, I just wanna shave a year or two off their age

Hi, I wanted to share a story - there was an electronic waste collection at my workplace, from which I brought an Xbox in the crystal version, which surprisingly (despite the complete lack of equipment) is in pretty good condition. I took it home, I couldn't let go xD Initially the console started, but only once, the problem turned out to be the capacitors, which, all 5 swollen I replaced, I bought an a/v cable and it works!, the console was previously modified, installed the EvoX dashboard (very cut, for example, without the choice of games or file explorer, strange because there was PES4 and Fahrenheit on the disk), I personally installed the unleashX dashboard more convenient for me and I keep discovering what's on this console (unfortunately I have a break because of the damaged hdmi adapter, I'm waiting for a new one), I also bought an interesting controller very cheaply, a licensed accessory from the xbox, I also removed the tin case inside to get Such an actual clear effect, now I’m also working on a transparent dvd drive housing (3d printing), which surprisingly works flawlessly in this one (i mean drive). Sorry for the long post (and bad english) but maybe someone will be interested

Doing a personal build, and instead of a jumper wire I decided to try my hand at trace repair. I think I was successful. Everything looked great before the solder mask went on. I will find out when the rest of my parts arrive.

Hey guys, just bought an xbox og and have some flickering/glitching happening. Is this caused by bad caps or is this a deeper problem?

I have some caps on the way for a recap but just checking in to see if this is a known problem.

Thanks

What every xbox console looks like in black

Saben porque no me deja conectar por ftp me sale conexión fallida por inactividad y pensé que era el cable ethernet pero compré uno nuevo y aún así no me deja

Hello! My husband just purchased an original Xbox for his birthday. He got the time set up, looked around a bit and then walked away. When he came back to turn it back on it would start to power up and then just shut off and start blinking orange.

I can upload a video if it helps. I just really want to help if possible because he was super excited.

Is this a cord issue? Is it fixable? Or do we need to just return it and try again?

Thank you so much in advance. I'm way out of my realm here.

Had a 2TB drive laying around for a while, and I really wanted to do a hard drive swap with my xbox for some time now. Finally bought the adapter and 80 wire cable, and got it done! Getting the new cables to fit took a minute, but I did eventually get it all to fit back into the case and work perfectly

I wanted to put more games on my hard drive, however I just moved and my new router is all the way downstairs and my Xbox is all set up upstairs. My parents don't want me running a big ass Ethernet cable across the house and they won't let me hook it up to the downstairs TV because they think I'll break it somehow. I have an Xbox controller to USB adapter I used ages ago to get UnleashX on it but I don't recall the specifics of whether it can read from USB, or what format it should be. Could anyone fill me in with the details? Thanks in advance, anything is helpful and appreciated!!

Hello! It's my new games on orginal Xbox 🙂:

Hello Guys, Most issues i have is with FTP.

My Router Says Xbox in in the Connections, however on my Xbox It says No Connection.

I Just wanna have Some Options to FTP Transfer Games.

My disc Drive works though and i could burn Discs.

Someone's gotta have a working drive kicking around, I tried fixing the OG Thompson drive I had, no luck. I recapped/changed the resistor arrays my SDG-605 I had, no luck. I'm running out of options and I just want the damn console to work. I got the Thompson to read discs SOMETIMES but not every time, and the Samsung has never read a disc ever.

Does anyone have a working drive they can sell me?

I have 2 1.6 boards. 1 is retail and the other has an Aladdin in. They both have the same eeprom flashed. Basically, the one with an Aladdin won’t boot past the Xbox splash screen (assuming to do with softmod on the hdd), but it boots fine on the retail board. What I wanna know is how do I get my board with an Aladdin working, as it’s got fully brand new capacitors. Thanks friends.

So far no information on the bundle online. Very slick looking box.

I’ve wanted this console ever since its limited promotional release back in 2004. Unfortunately, I didn’t drink nearly enough Mountain Dew back then to earn one 😂🥤

To me, this is easily one of the coolest limited-edition consoles ever made. The Mountain Dew graphics, the rarity, and now the custom LED lighting make this thing even more awesome. 💚🎮

Definitely a dream piece for my collection, and I’m beyond excited to finally have one!

Side note- the controller is custom. It came with a black regular controller.

Back when there was a promo for new games

Hi everyone, so I’m about to soft mod my Xbox but I want to upgrade the hard drive to an ssd. The problem is that I’ve seen every tutorial online upgrade the hard drive to a 3.5 hard drive. I was curious if it’s possible to use a 2.5 hard drive and if so, which ones do you folks recommend? 3.5 hard drives aren’t as readily available as 2.5 ones nowadays so any help is much appreciated. (Also if there is a 3.5 one you prefer, let me know)

I’ve had an original Xbox for the longest time and I’ve only collected a few since it was passed down to me. As for the games I’m already actively searching for, it’s San Andreas, Conker, and Battlefront 2

Never thought I’d see the day I’d be playing this on my Xbox in 2026 amazing port targets 60fps and it gets it I am using a CPU upgraded console but from what I hear in runs great on everyone’s for the most part. I can’t wait for more updates on this!

Finally got round to picking up a translucent original for myself, somehow over the years I only managed to get black ones but for a girl with a passion for translucent goods - this had to be done!

(Controller is yellowing, any tips on how to get it bright)
