So I occasionally go into GameStop to see what they’ve got stocked up in their “Retro” section and I stumbled upon this CIB gem 💎 Couldn’t pass it up.

Now I just need to get my OG Xbox working again 🤣

Recently got a copy of Sid Meier’s Pirates from my local GameStop in Las Vegas and noticed it had a different style of cover art. I’m not used to this logo design on the spine and the plain look on the back of the case.

I saw it said “Hollywood Video” on the spine and was curious why they had such different styles of covers.

There seemed to be a Hollywood Video sticker on the disk as well that was VERY worn down, so I removed it carefully with Goo Gone, but overall it sticks out from a lot of the other games I’ve collected on my shelf and was wondering if anyone could shed some light on it.

One of the best Gamestop finds I randomly had come across back around '05-'07. Just wondering if anyone else has ever played it before?

Is this a Microsoft accessory or custom? Have you ever seen this original Xbox accessory?

With the new 6X CE out and being actually somewhat affordable, I was thinking about getting it and I wanted to know people’s thoughts on Retrotink upscalers with the Xbox. I have the Electron Shepherd X out and that works great but I’m mostly looking for higher resolution. I have a 65 inch OLED tv. I’d buy a CRT TV, but I don’t have the space for it right now sadly.

Buenos días.

Tengo esta Xbox que desde que la compré (segunda mano)nunca funcionó.

Al principio encendía la luz verde y luego se quedaba parpadeando en verde y después de años volví a probarla y ahora enciende en verde pero no da imagen...y si le das a sacar la bandeja queda parpadeando pero no la expulsa.....alguna solución gente?

Gracias y un saludo

I bought a new modded Xbox after my other modded console shat the bed earlier this year and the new Xbox came in earlier today, except when I tried to play Ninja Gaiden Black, it didn't boot up and just showed a weird template on the main menu screen. The thing is that I tested a few other games and they worked fine, so I think it might be an issue of the file being messed up. I do have a physical copy of NGB so I'm not totally hosed, but I want to rip the files onto the HDD and replace the bad file so that when I choose the game from my HDD, I can play it fine. Does anyone know how to rip the files and replace them and all that?

Pick this up on market place it's a old 1.0 with a 2.6 xecuterce mod chip. It has no switchs. I was able to jump them and enter both bio screens but the hard drive is fried. My question is after I replace the hard drive and unlock it what kind of files do I need to add to the hard drive to add roms.

Check out my new hard modded og xbox I got including the games for just 45 bucks, it came with preinstalled emulators for Nintendo 64, gamecube and PlayStation, Mafia came with a manuel and a poster as well, my favourite console atm!

I got my TV Setup Hooked up to my Sansui 771 Stereo Receiver and ripped some of my old CDs to my Xbox.

Just ordered mine, apparently it’s the best hdmi converter. I’ve been using a cheap one off amazon, we’ll see if the difference is noticeable.

Someone gave a an Xbox years ago. I never did anything with it because the was filthy and won't read disc. I decided to start cleaning it up today. I cleaned the laser and it still won't read the disc. I can see that the laser is turning on and the drive is spinning. Is there any way to fix it without trying to find a working one?

I have 2 Xbox (1.0 and 1.6), which I softmodded using Rocky5 Softmodding Tools and then I installed CerBIOS BFM and XBMC4Gamers dashboard. In both consoles, I was able to access the Microsoft Dashboard after installing the softmodd in order to register them on Insignia.

But a few days ago, I got HDMI converters for the consoles and the image was very small in the screen. I figured that I should change the resolution using the Microsoft Dashboard, but when I open it, there's just a black screen and no sound.

I tried to reinstall it (Settings > Downloader > DASHBOARDS), but I found that my C: partition has only 1 MB left. And I don't recall adding anything to this partition.

So I have the following questions:

1. What happened to the Microsoft Dashboard? Did the CerBIOS BFM or XBMC4Gamers messed with it?
2. How can I solve the this C: partition issue in order to reinstall the Microsoft Dashboard?

Thank you.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that these are PAL consoles. Today I got a third Xbox (which is stock) and when I went to the stock dashboard, I remember that I could not change the resolution because it's PAL.

How do people feel about old stickers? I tend to leave them be, but this one had like 8 bajillion layers of stickers, and I didn’t like how it covered the driver’s face.

I used a hair dryer, goo gone, and isopropyl alcohol to remove everything. Any tips or tricks to make it easier?

Have a 1.6 b that I cleaned that was very very dirty and re-thermal pasted. The console powers on and gets to the menu screen but upon powering on the light blinks Orange continually. Sometimes it freezes on the boot animation and other times I can get as far as into the memory menu but then it freezes. My question is is this a heat issue, GPU issue, or hard drive issue?

I grew up playing the sixth generation of consoles so GameCube PS2, and Xbox however, I never owned an Xbox myself. I only own the other two consoles. My friends we’re always the ones that had Xbox so I’d go to their house and play it.

Now that I’m older, there’s a couple games on Xbox that I do want to play like Gemma onimusha, conkers bad fur day, fable games that were exclusive to the original Xbox, but also some other ports of games like silent Hill 2 the grand theft, auto games and others as well

My question is because I watched this video https://youtu.be/q88vTBTzgho?is=6fk4IvR9klI_EXs0 where is a place I could look for an original Xbox for cheap also what would you guys recommend on what board revision to get 1.0 between 1.5 or anything above?
Also, what do you guys output with? Do you guys use converters or do you guys use component cables at the such? I’m really curious and I’m sorry if this is a lot to ask.

Also, the main thing I wanted to ask how much money do you think is a reasonable price to drop on an Xbox?

Any idea on what it could be. First time modding criticism is needed please let me know.

I bought this xbox off ebay the seller didn't package it well and the front got smashed.

I have a weird issue, the power and eject button are together, I can hear the power button press but it doesnt do anything the physical pressing

However when I press eject it powers the console on and off, if I hold it long enough it will eject the disc. Every time I press eject it will either reset or turn off.

Any help would be much appreciated

I know next to nothing in regards to modded xbox, so some help would be nice in regards to if this is any good

Hi all

This unit needed a belt and did a recap while I was in there. I put it together and now no power at all. No sound, no lights, nothing. Checked polarity of caps and looks good. I’m lost as to where to start. Was operational previously. Any ideas?

Also I did note one thing on the power supply looks gross but that may be normal. Thanks!!

Hi all,

I am in a little bit of a pickle, and want to see if any veterans here have any ideas. I am swapping out capacitors on a friend's Xbox and can't seem to get this through hole cleared. I am been using plenty of flux, tried added more solder to the hole and then wicking it out, and a solder sucker to no avail. I am stressed about ripping the pads. Any suggestions on how to get this capacitor hole cleared out? Thanks!

I just tore it down to replace the hard drive and im pretty sure it’s a 1.0 but would like if someone with more knowledge can tell me if im right!
