I know this is no easy task but having the Games, XBLA, Homebrew, Xbox Classic, and Emulators section with a fifth category that holds LiNK supported games would be awesome. In those categories having Game Genre and a search feature would also be nice.
Its a databasing nightmare but I think it would make the overall accessibility of the software much much more enjoyable! A very low priority indeed but I think it should be considered as a future project when the more important things are completed.
I do understand the filters in the programs displayed menu but incorporating the search function by genre and LiNK support would be really awesome!
*EDIT* nevermind, I just found the genres filter...... =\ please delete this post.

WIsh this had been posted a few months ago, could've saved me the wait on getting my stuff imported from Australia.

Is this a JTAG/RGH or just a flashed machine?
if memory serves me right the consoles that came with MS25's don't have any OSIG data in the kv (making you able to flash any drive just putting the correct dvdkey in there and having it work)
From what I gather no Falcons came with ms25, I got two parted out and weathered phats, one's a Xenon and the other is a Falcon. the Xenon has RRoD and the Falcon just doesnt read discs. The drives in the box are a Lite-On and a ms25. From doing research I found out the drive most likely used for the falcon is the Lite-on but I won't know for sure until after I RGH it. They're both stock just owned by someone who should've never touched them when they originally broke. He did the hot towel trick to the Xenon so I'm sure I'm going to have to reball that one and originally, this Falcon only had the eject error issue which I did fix but it still won't read a disc for either of the drives. I know if its the wrong DVD key it will still play a DVD and if its a game it will read and ask to play in an xbox 360. The Falcon does neither...

It sounds like your laser is dead. I would just replace it. They cost around $5-$8 on ebay. Pot tweaks don't always work and are generally a very temporary fix at best.
Thank you! I'll start looking on ebay for one

Well I'm not a fan of Android with Kodi. I prefer the good old Linux. Using it in 2 Raspberry's, Asus vivopc and Acer revo r3600.
Android has it's flaws...

Such as? Please don't tell me that the tvaddons.ag repo isn't compatible.... That could make a man cry.

Ahh we share similar points of view except mine deal with Network equipment and computer repairs but the axiom is the same I believe.

USB3 drives may cause problems for some tho, so we always recommend sticking to USB2, you won't be getting the theoretical speeds of USB3 anyways, you'll get maximum of whatever the HDD has inside, which is generally a SATA2 5400 RPM drive
My WD Passport 2TB usb 3 has no compatibility issues at all. I use this device for my 360 and it is even backwards compatible with XP SP1. The only thing that you have to do for it for 360 compatibility is wipe its GPT NTFS partition with gParted off a linux live disc and create an MS-DOS partition table then format it as FAT32. I figure if people can manage learning how to glitch their equipment and do firmware writes then they should be able to navigate a partition manager like gParted or Parted Magic. The 97.3MBps transfer rate I'm getting from copying my games from my main computer to this drive isn't theoretical, access time on the xbox itself won't be usb3.0, true; however, moving the data to the drive as a much faster alternative to ftp or convention usb 2.0 will.
**EDIT**
Sometimes those portable drives will even have a GPT FAT32 partition on them.
-
If it's for a secondary external device I suggest the Western Digital Passport 2TB USB 3.0 drive. That's what I use as a secondary and the write speeds are AWESOME!
I don't use FTP for that drive as its much more efficient to do it directly connected into my PC.
For internal I use a Western Digital Blue 500GB laptop drive that has been hacked with the security sector.(You don't have to hack the external drive)
-
Okay, so when I first got this nightmare of a device. it had been siitting in pieces in a box with a xenon gathering rust on the shield. Everything was taken apart by someone who should NEVER work on electronics...
Originally I had thought that the drive that it used was as Toshiba Samsung ms25 and after some painstaking research it turned out that it was the lite-on drive that I thought went with the xenon.
Got it all assembled properly and on POST the DVD eject problem started happening so I went through the list of things to address the problem to no avail. It wasn't until I came across an article suggesting an alternate solder point to fix the open tray error
It did fix the open drive error but the drive still won't properly read a game or dvd (even after a POT adjust on the laser)
any suggestions would be welcome as I'd like to fix and sell it but right about now I'm strongly considering the internal hard drive hack and selling the DVD's for parts
Attached is a picture of where the wire is to be soldered, this forum doesnt like the image extension I'm trying to embed from Team Xecuter

thanks for the info pulse.........................
interestingly when i hook this 360 up to my Panasonic Plasma via HDMI it gives a crazy image , but if i hook it up to my Samsung PC Monitor through HDMI and CRT TV ( composite ) its fine. My HDTV ( Panasonic ) works with 4 other 360's i have and 6 PS3's , i have read in a forum ( ps3hax ) that someone returned their Panasonic HDTV due to a HDMI fault it was manufactured the same year as mine.
so im a bit stuck is my HDTV causing the wacky image or this Reflow was done incorrectly and damaged the GPU ?
i may be able to get a refund as i bought it off ebay....................
what do you guys think ?
It really depends as to what his listing said when you made the purchase as to whether or not you can win a paypal dispute on the item.Offhand I don't know if there's GPU damage to the xbox in question or if its your tv. If the device still works you might want to consider reballing it if you have the equipment, but before you make that decision I'd test it out on other tv's to see if the problem can be replicated. Also, the issue you're having might be why he reflowed it in the first place. No one EVER does a preventative reflow, solder doesnt work that way, it's either connected or its not, there's never a reason to remelt solder that has a connection unless you're doing a reball and removing the silver solder and replacing it with the lead-based kind so that RRoD doesnt happen.

I think you got lied to, if the x-clamp has been modded with bolts or the stupid penny trick then it most certainly had RRoD before and was fixed by someone who should've done a reball to it. Those mods can seriously damage the GPU and will almost always eventually cause a re-occurrence of a cold solder joint on the board.

It's not taking any time to actually look for bootanim.xex, it's simply loading the kernel and doing the kernel stuff... this is why they even added that bootanimation in the first place, to not have a black screen while booting...
Okay, so it just seems like a longer boot time because by removing the bootanim you have that wait time, plus however long it takes for dashlaunch to autorun fakeanim? If thats the case then it seems to me that the eye candy isn't worth the increased boot time, that or I didn't calibrate mine correctly when I first ran it. I'll just default fakeanim and try for a recalibration then.
-
Not with how it's written, from what i understand fakeanim expects the kernel to have all paths setup already, which is why it needs to be loaded by dashlaunch, bootanim is normally started right before (while) the kernel does it's thing...
=\ okay..... would be nice though to just have it replace bootanim without adding the lag while the firmware looks for bootanim to load. hmm..... Maybe edit the bootstrap to prevent it from searching for bootanim? That'd speed up the POST of the device I think. I'm not a coder but if can be set as null that'd be awesome. From what I'm understanding the delay on the POST is being caused by a timeout by the flash looking for bootanim correct? if that execution code can be null set then would'nt it just boot normally without having to wait for the timeout?
-
Here's a question, is it possible to use xebuild to have fakeanim renamed as bootanim without breaking it and writing it to flash so that there's no delay on the boot? I havent tried it yet but the thought just occured to me
-
I've got it set @50C now in Dashlaunch, thanks!
-
As in FSD, having fanspeed control would be nice to keep the chip running under 78C, I noticed with FSD I could get it as low as 45C even after playing a game like Assassins creed.
###UPDATE###
I just read page two of the original thread and I see that this has already been requested and that the Dashlaunch temperature threshold was given as an answer, I apologize. =\

Here's something I made earlier today that's a sample from a demoscene video awhile ago for an oldschool warez group.
ENJOY!

Thats my plan at least, I've been looking at a Matricom G-Box Q http://matricom.net/product_page/g-box-q/ for $109 to run Kodi off of.Buy a Raspberry
It will never be ported, as Swizzy stated, officially that is.
Regards.
It's a beautiful piece of equipment!

Thats mighty nice of you supplying a community key
I'll add the firmwares to my archive. -
The xbmc devs arent going to port it, if you want to attempt it that is up to you, but a project as big as XBMC would take hours to go through, then you have to understand PPC arch, and then you would have to recode every function to work with the librarys, and every thing else. Then when you were done with all of that, I couldnt guarantee it would run great. I think for something like that you would be better off using LibXenon, which gets direct access to the hardware, so you would get better performance, but then you would have to NIX alot of features, such as Xlink Kai, Game Launching, etc. And when you were all done with that you would basically end up with mplayer, which has already been converted to xell, and even that has its issues. eg. blue ray rips freeze up because the xbox cant handle the frame rate.
I have found it easier just to use a media server, such as Serviio, and stream the files from the computer to the xbox. The app mentioned will convert the formats on the fly to stuff the xbox will play. Unfortunatly, that means longer loading times, but it isnt that bad if you arent using wireless.
From what I understand PPC builds were abandoned as Kodi is dependant on OpenGL for its rendering but that issue was with the 1.8Ghz chips that Apple was using, Isn't ours 3Ghz? I'd love to see a 360 kodi port since I use it with my DLNA server using Kodibuntu in the living room and I run it for the addons on my main comp. To be able to just have it AIO with my xbox would be pretty awesome but I agree, if it does happen it'll be full of bugs unless a git is started with Team Kodi's support I think. =\

They don't work with RGH1, only RGH2+/R-JTAG+, a finetuned RGH1 can be faster then RGH2+/R-JTAG+ or atleast more stable

Ahh I see. I don't really have any load issues with mine so the CR3's are first glitch loads? Mine usually does it in 2-3.
-
Why not just use a CR4 XL? Those boot faster don't they?
-
There was a PPC version of XBMC made that might be able to be ported, not sure how well it would work though, I think it's Frodo or Eden though...

These all look pretty awesome! I'll mess with Fakeanim and try a few of them out, Thanks!!

[Aurora] Game Categories and LiNK support games sorting
in Requests and Suggestions
Posted
The only thing I can see that it lacks other than LiNK supported games filter is that genre isnt supported by xbox classic titles.
