Are you still looking for one? And are you in the US or abroad? Any price range in mind?

Yes I'm still looking for a Jasper BB.

I'm in Southern Oregon these days.

Price would change between rather or not it's a JTAG or RGH hack.

You have one?

I have a cr4xl that I don't need since I've done RGH3 on my trinity and as far as a trinity or jasper goes, I'm sure I can find you one in a pristine condition from a buddy of mine that owns a local video game store.

Let me know and I'll earmark the money.

Hey guys, had a fire not to long ago and lost most of what I own.

I want to rebuild my Xbox 360 and am looking for a complete or virgin unit.

JTAG BB Jasper if I have a choice but a Trinity with CR4XL will suffice.

HMU with pricing and lets make it happen!

Thats great advice , very much appreciated. I have used FatX to copy the contents of my exisiting HDD to my PC. I have formatted the new HDD using the XBOX360. Now I have copied over everything I took from the original EXCEPT the games folder. I created a new games folder and just copied two of the original game files, basically wanted to test the new HDD was working correctly before commiting to the lengthy process of transferring all the games.

So now with just two games in the "games" folder I put the new HDD into the console and booted up.

When Aroura boots it displays all the names and artwork of ALL the 90+ games that were on the older HDD but cannot be played (obviousley as theyre not in the Game folder) , and it doesnt recognise the two games on the new HDD. Im assuming I have copied over some content type file that tells the console that all the games are still on the HDD.  What have I done incorrectly ?

It is still using your content.db file from your original setup.

What I'd do is this:

Go into your Aurora folder on the console locally using Xexmenu, FSD, or a different copy of aurora that won't lock the Database files when it loads into memory.

For me the folder path is HDD1/ISOS/Aurora/Data/Databases

You will most likely want to delete content.db and rescan your file collection after you've put in your new scan paths.

While you're at it, create a folder in the databases folder called backup and copy content.db and settings.db into it for future use if your content scan goes south and it corrupts your title database like it did to me two days ago.

If you want a cool source for samples for your boot vids, check out the DemoScene for intros, cracktros, and competition demos.

demoscene.tv used to be the BEST place for this, but I see it is down, you can probably find most of the files here: https://archive.org/search.php?query=demoscene&page=4

They also have a Youtube channel now I see : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdaWE88_VrLbXuQrq3Uudvg

And another source channel can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyoCwKwPiCJGOB2Ya2yiBkA

Could use a screen recorder on youtube channel @ fullscreen for the video or search the archive.org link for the Title and download the original demo executable.

Keywords like : Razor 1911 / PwA / iCE / ACiD / Kewlers / MFX / FAiRLiGHT / Halcyon / Paradox / Bobstars / Portal Process / Conspiracy / Eagle Soft / Talent / Ikari

Have great results!

Chaos Theory - Conspiracy

Would it be possible to make the content database offline accessible for faster local title scanning?

I understand it is RMS IP; however, it would make it much easier for more knowledgeable users to be able to scan their libraries into Aurora plus it would reduce server traffic.

Plus the 3+ hours that it takes to scan my library into my console would be much faster when you think about all the handshakes happening for each file sent in this manner.

Not even IP identification will work felida as changing dns servers see to that as well as vpn's.console ID's on the other hand would negate any sneaky ways around it which is i assume why ms ban consoles,for once they have a good idea..lol..

 

 

MAC address logging/filtering  would DEFINITELY do it!!

Hey guys, long time since I been around.

Been a long time, hope everyone is well...

I tried to scan some xbox classic titles to my RGH last night and hadn't realized that the primary drive was low on available space. When the scan finished, my entire library disappeared.

The file is 1.1MB in size, can it be recovered or is it corrupted beyond recovery?

I'm in a rural area on VSAT so rescanning the titles is impossible unless I can exclude the assets from downloading.

I've freed up enough disk space to redo it correctly, is it possible to recover the original content.db file or can I exclude the assets from downloading while I'm on the mountain?

lol all this for wanting to play Mech Assault on my 360.... hahahahahaha  shit.....

Honestly, I used FATexplorer and mounted the drive to my local system to transfer file on and off of it.

Have two FATx partitions causes issues with the data transfer regarding data corruption.

I recommend mounting the original HDD to your PC with FatX to back up what you want to keep.

Then take your replacement drive and use the HDD hacker utility to flash the firmware on it to be Xbox compatible.

From that point take the new drive and put it in your console and reformat it from the consoles default GUI system storage menu.

When that's done,pull the drive out, reconnect back to PC and xfer all of your files to it locally (Including the ones you backed up from the original drive.)

Once all of that has been done with your base system files you should be able to FTP to the device with FileZilla without further issue.

OR since you have it mounted to your PC, why not just xfer the files at the speed of your system bus? (MUCH MUCH FASTER) (copy/paste)

Watching these projects from the sidelines is so frustrating, I wish I could help, but I make my living swinging a hammer. You guys that put in the work on these projects are my heroes, dead serious.

That's how I often feel, if you want ideas on your structured cabling or a logical topology or someone to toss ideas to, I'm your man, but I have never been a coder. I respect people who can actually enjoy scripting because it can be so maddening to debug your own source especially when trying to implement the updates modules without breaking the build.

Like me troubleshooting a break in structured cabling to get something important back online or to trace to the right circuit ID without interrupting client services so you can do demarc extension and hotcut with the least time of service interruption.

I used Xtree Gold for DOSbox, but same issues of EMM and whatnot present themselves, 640 block has to be open enough for certain higher end games.

Gonna try your app and see if I can make a bare bones autolauncher for win95 games.

There is a limit on the console itself.. 2tb is the max either internal or external, the update just removed the fatx requirement, and just creates a content folder on any fat32 drive.. 

At least we have the 2. So best I could do would be have 2tb primary and 2tb secondary? or is my 500GB / 2TB setup my current best option?

Could probably do an MU hack to make it larger. and might be able to add multiple sticks to the USB bus.

Now that'd be dope, RAID for MU Bus and just build a flashdrive array!

lol

Sounds great, thanks for the support and yeah my bet would definitely be a laser problem. I think I'll just start pirating, no point in spending extra money on a new drive when I can just get the iso files for free, I mean the console still works everywhere else and plays games flawlessly.

Like I said, don't share your liability regarding software piracy here on the forum. These guys make a legit mod and they don't need the bullshit regarding copyright violations and the such.

Its only for external Usb drives.

 

Well, looks like I can at least upgrade my WD Passport to something faster and larger in an enclosure then I suppose.

I haven't done a hardware update in a very long time with all the dashlaunch releases and whatnot over the years.

When I glitched my Slim Trinity I upgraded to 500GB Scorpio Blue drive; however, I'm curious. When they pushed the update that allowed for larger capacity drives to be compatible as secondary storage, did it also lift the cap on the primary drive capacity with modded systems?

I would like to upgrade my primary to a 2.5" 1-4TB primary, Is this doable now?

I also find that Hitachi HGST 2TB work like a DREAM for OG Xbox HDD upgrades so I'm in the market for the same in 2.5" flavor.

Please dear god tell me that we can now accept a Hitachi Helium HGST 8TB for primary!  hahahah

Badly needing to consolidate and restructure these days.......

Can you explain?

I don't see how i can have a game say Gears of War be changed to Xbox Dashboard when the scan is complete .I have to rename it back to Gears of War

It's going by the information out of the /Content folder.

Anything in Aurora that you customize for your game like that is only on the front end. What will matter is the Game ID number for downloading assets, and when you rescan it will set it back to what is in the Title ID to the best of my knowledge.

If you edit it from it's default value (Mounted Filesystem in FATxplorer) from it's actual data, you could make the game unplayable until you rename it back.

One idea is scan your collection, rename what you want in Aurora, then exclude that specific title from future scans.

Looks like either give up on reading discs because of bad laser or incorrect controller board in your console, or look for your other options.

I don't know if Xenia was ever coded with disc support or not so that might not work either.

Oh. Is there a way to get the game's iso files with from the VIDEO_TS? Maybe porting the files with a USB to PC and converting them?

No, That is the Video Layer of the disc. Do POT adjustment or replace laser.

Or download the game files from the internet 

That's your call bro, just don't mention that shit here. No one here wants your liability....

Oh. I guess I can buy a new 360 or replace the drive if that's the only way.

You'd have to reglitch your console, laser change out would be cheapest and easiest and there are tons of TuT videos on youtube for it.

This may also help, if not replace your laser.

One disk doesn't even show up on regular dash but other games show up fine. On aurora the game that doesn't show up on regular dash shows up with on HDD1 with just the AUDIOTS and VIDEOTS files. Other games I put in show up on regular dash but their files also show up as AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS.

The only time the 360 has ever done this before for me is when the wrong drive  controller board was in the console,.

DVD drives are married to the console by their DVD keys.

If the drive has never been changed out and this problem has been gradually getting worse over time, it's probably a failing laser.

There is no errors, it even reads the disk and dvd shows up in HDD1 but it's just the default.xex and maps and stuff aren't showing up.

It reads and plays disc from Regular Dash?

The thing is this is happening with my computer drive to. The drive works and has worked before. Do I have to take out the drive and put in a new one? Is there another way of getting the game's iso files like images and default.xex? Also it's a slim.

Unless the drive has been replaced without board swapping, when you load from regular dash you should get an error screen that looks like this I think:

There is another error screen that will show up a white screen on boot if it's the wrong drive board.

Let us know what your Dash says when you put the disc in.

Consider replacing laser or drive, but if you replace drive, make sure to swap your board.

After putting in a video game disk it shows up as VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS, but this is also happening with freestyle dash and default dashboard as well as my computer drive. Is there something wrong with the disk? This was working when I first had my RGH/JTAG the files were showing up and I could rip them. This was also happening to other games  also. My kernel version is 2.0.17526.0 V3.19. Is there a solution to this? Thanks in advance

Have you ever had to replace the DVD drive before? Also, Possible that laser is going out on drive? What is the model of your 360?

The only time I've ever had that issue on any xbox has been wrong controller board to drive, wrong drive to unit, or failing laser.

If it was eject issue I'd say replace the drive band.

So apparently someone is coding an SDK finally.

Would be pretty fucking awesome to have zDoom engine so I can deploy BrutalDoom and/or Project Brutality over as well. I wish I was a coder.

That thread shows no results mate.. lol

Looks like theres an alternate solder point and the suggestion for cap legs to do the soldering would be the same with kynar wire or if worse comes to worse solder an actual header to it.

nvm... just re-read the thread, they're just suggesting a more solid connection with lazy mans kynar.

That problematic Jasper you have  is a 512 model. I always had issues with doing first glitch on them with the timing profiles. Too bad your dash wasn't low enough to just JTAG it.

If you're still up for it because 512's are badass, check this thread from Se7enSins:
