update.......... i rerouted POST , CPU_RST and PLL still no go.  The green LED on the Coolrunner still flashes the same way ,  with my previous RGH 1.2 i did not long ago the LED would flash on and off and then a really fast flash at the end and the console would boot.  This one i'm working on doesn't have the last quick flash ,  rarely it happens and when it does it boots.  Not sure what's up with that.  Also i have ordered some 10k ohm resistors for CPU_RST line see how that goes ,  should be here in 2 days.

btw i am using Kynar wire i have seen others use it and it did work out great for my last RGH 1.2 360.  Should i go back to using the wire that comes bundled with the Coolrunner?

hi felida ,  if you mean 1-2 or 2-3 on the Coolrunner then yes i have tried them.

hi swizzy darkglider felida and other members ,  i have done my 6th Jasper RGH 1.2 a few weeks ago and it was being stubborn in glitching.  Today i spent quite a while on it trying to get solid consistent glitching ,  i am stumped as it still remains the same.  I have got it to glitch about 6 times out of 30 attempts , i will post my Jrunner log below.  I'm not sure but can a bad flash cause such problems?.  Also when i first soldered the RST to the motherboard it did bridge with a small component above it ,  after closer inspection and then resoldering i got in to XELL (maybe this is why i'm having troubles glitching?).  Cycle wise on the Coolrunner it appears normal and healthy ,  except the console won't glitch

- i have tried Chip Quik Flux then Kingbo Flux

- desoldered QSB CLK point and reroute to the ALT CLK point

- resoldered everything on the motherboard and Coolrunner

- exchanged Coolrunner Rev C Clone with a new one.

- tried many different combinations of Jumpers/Cap/12 23 on the Coolrunner

- tried Matrix Timing files 18 and 21

btw i'm using my Laptop to re-program the Coolrunner at the moment as i had to reformat my main PC and i can't get Jrunner to open ,  so the end date of this log won't show my Timing Files date done today.

hi felida ,  thanks for replying.  Roger that i used dashlaunch configurator and remapped to Aurora.xex ,  just tested it and now it boots like a champ.

thanks for the knowledge and help , crisis averted

hi swizzy darkglider and other members ,  i just did my 5th Jasper 360 and i made an error due to being such a long time since my last RGH 1.2.  OK simply see pic below ,  i should have named it Aurora.xex but instead it is default.xex.  If i rename the Aurora.xex on my 360's External Hard Drive to default.xex it boots fine.  I was wondering if there is a better fix as in re-flashing the NAND ?. 

If i'm correct i can just edit the dashlaunch tab to Aurora.xex then save it ,  click on create XeBuildImage and then Write NAND ?

thanks for the tips glider ,  i have purchased a copy TX Clamp Removal Tool it should be here in a few weeks.

hi members ,  i want to learn how to remove the X-Clamps on my 360's and apply new Thermal Paste.  What i need to know are there any risks like RROD if i remove the Clamps (yes slightly paranoid) and what method do i apply the Thermal Paste

i have done my PS3's Thermal Paste with Arctic Silver 5 with success ,  so i'm hoping to do my 360's as well.  I can't find a official TX Removal Tool but i found a knockoff on Aliexpress ,  i plan to get one of those to remove the Clamps.

i found a video below on how to reapply new Thermal Paste ,  is this what i should be doing ?

chat soon

nice info and explanation gd ,  i didn't know some of those facts good to know.

I'm using a Wired Connection ,  roger that on the additional info. 

roger that ,  yeah i have a 1TB in an enclosure connected to my 360 too.  I wonder if there is a possibility of a new network plugin being written ?.........or it is just the 360 unable to work well over a network ?.

Thanks for chiming in darkglider

hi members ,  i was wondering if anyone has the same issue with these 2 games below.  They both have long load times and stutter in the opening FMV ,  interestingly i have a bandwidth meter and there is about 800-900kbs during the long load times.  Maybe my settings are not right causing these issues ,  i currently use a USB HDD connected to my 360 but i would prefer to stream games through a network.

You probably mean a PCMCIA Card.

it's not a Compact Flash slot it's definitely SD ,  i've used it before to view photos (JPEGs).

There is a Hidden Service Menu not available for customers. It's usually a combo with the remote.

i used this video on Youtube to access the Service Menu ,  i did gain access to it but it was very limited on options , i couldn't find any HDMI tweaks.  I can't wait to get a new TV this year i have chosen 3 models that kick ass ,  all i need to do is save some money and i'm set.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gosP70-JtI

it's not on a network as it doesn't support it and the TV doesn't even have USB it does have a SD Card slot tho.  It's a very old Pana i bought it in 2008 ,  i did check on their website briefly and couldn't find a update that was old enough.  When i say i tried to update through the menu it seems to use the TV Aerial to search for a update.  Yesterday i got into the Service Menu and couldn't find any HDMI options.

btw your English is really good and your help is easy to understand

that's a good tip which i have tried ,  in the menu of the Pana when i got to System Update it takes about a minute and it says it's up to date.

well i'm going to keep this 360 based on posts here and my detective work through google about Pana's. 

thank you everyone for your help and advice

hi guys thanks for the replies and tips ,  i have tested this 360 on the below TV's

- 46" Panasonic Plasma

- 42" Panasonic Plasma

- 27" Samsung LCD PC

- 32" Samsung LCD TV

- 29" Sony WEGA CRT ( SCART )

- XRGB Framemeister HDMI Passthrough to 46" Panasonic Plasma

all work except the Panasonics ,  i have done some googling and there were multiple threads where people have the same problem as me with Panasonics when used with PS3's or 360's.  I am getting a new TV this year to replace the Pana as it's quite old ( 2008 model ) ,  it will either be a Sony or Samsung.

It could be also possible that some TVs had problems to handle the HDMI Handshake. In this particular case the screen remains dark.

 

i read a mega thread and one guy was helping someone else he said that the TV is having a problem with Handshaking causing no video,  he believed the TV is the problem and not the 360.  To me it looks like the Pana is the problem but i still feel a little unsure if to keep it or return it.

and yes this 360 will be modded by me if i keep it
 

i didn't think Aurora could get any better ,  but after watching the video dev's have gone another level greater......hats off to you dev's

hi members ,  i got a 2 Jasper 360's recently and one won't display video on my Panasonic Plasma although it does on my Samsung LCD PC Monitor and 32" Samsung LCD TV.  I haven't had a 360 not put out a picture before on my Plasma and i've tried 9 360's with this one being a problem.  So i've googled and tried a bunch of things to no avail ,  i did come to one post with someone saying it may be the beginning of RROD.  I should say as well i've run this 360 for 2 hours straight 4 times to see if it will overheat and it came through ok.

so what do you guys think ?............i can return this 360 as i have a 30 day warranty.

and hi Swizzy

chat soon

update ,  the problem looks to be resolved in Aurora 0.6b.  I can't replicate the problem so it seems to be fixed.

nice work Aurora team

i have renamed my games in Aurora 0.5b ,  i don't really want to rename them again when i upgrade to 0.6b.  Is there some sort of method to keep the renamed games when i upgrade ?

hi members and Swizzy ,  about 3 months ago i modded my 4th 360 with RGH 1.2 previous ones were CR4 XL's.  Anyway i may have found a bug in Aurora or something else i'll explain.  When Aurora starts loading in the bottom right hand corner it loads the files from my hard drive quickly.  I happened to need the exact title name for one of the Do Don Pachi games as i was renaming some of the games in Aurora ,  so i loaded it through Aurora and when i got what i needed i held Home on my controller and exited back to Aurora.

interestingly when Aurora starts to load the files ( bottom right hand corner ) they load slower than when cold booting the 360.  Im not sure if this is a bug in Aurora ,  its not a big problem but im curious whats happening and if others have experienced this

from memory if i play Virtua Tennis 3 and then exit Aurora functions fine ,  seems its picky about this particular Do Don Pachi game

chat soon

hi members and Swizzy ,  i got a question i hope you understand it ill word it best i can..............

i have more than one 360 that has been R-JTAGGED by me ( with a lot of help from Swizzy ) ,  some are on different Dashboards 2.0.16747.0 and 2.0.17148 for example.  I want to use the Official XBOX 360 Hard Drive for Game Saves and Roms for Retroarch.  I dont want multiple Hard Drives with Game Saves and hi scores everywhere ,  I want to use just the one XBOX 360 Hard Drive and use it on all my 360's

is this possible ? will the different Dashes cause a issue ?

Swizzy for President !

chat soon

thanks Swizzy ,  ill do some experimenting....................

hi members and Swizzy ,  i did a ROL ( Ring of Light , Show Debug LED On Front Panel ) CR4 mod on one of my 360's.  I intended the 4th LED to light up when its attempting to glitch ,  instead LEDs 3 and 4 light up at the same time.

i prefer just one LED ,  anyone know how its done ?

chat soon

hi guys...........

If it works over HDMI with other devices, it's not a console problem...

 

going by this i dont have a case in getting a refund ,  its defintely not a cable problem as ive tried 3 HDMI so it looks to be the HDTV i have

also thanks for all the other info supplied guys
