Having a big 1TB hard drive will cause the boot time to take noticeably-longer, but it's a worthwhile tradeoff so you can back up your entire library to the console basically. Should also futureproof your console by having the EEPROM backed-up in the event of a hard drive failure and a modern HDD is far more likely to last longer than those 17+ year old disks will currently.
Thank you you a the best RUclipsr this acl Prozess helps me so i can play chronicles of riddik. He says pls Insert disc but this Programm help's me. Thank you mr.mario. ;)
Can u show a more in depth tutorial for the burned DVD iso method cause that's the only way I can really do it cause I don't have a way to use the Ethernet port on my Xbox to play games
Has anyone figured out how to get 007: Everything or Nothing to play off a drive? I had the ACL options turned on but the game attempts to load but just takes me back to UnleashX menu. The console is NTSC and the game is NTSC.
hey! I'm a fan of the xbox theme showed in the intro. the green one that looks like the standard stock xbox interface. anyway I could get it/access it?
I bought the first model of the XBOX (classic) at a Dell market used, then I apparently realized that it is modified, the fact is, however, that I really want to remove this mod, I don't need it, I have many original games (IF the problem is not a matter of chips or various stuff). I'll explain the problem practically if I turn it on using the eject button I get the error of sending the console for assistance, if instead I turn it on with the power button it turns on normally with the only exception that during the initial cinematic the writing "X Xbox " is red/orange after this you go to the date menu (from the normal green color) and then go to the classic menu always green. PS. no messages from some software above appear during power up.
It sounds like you could be running a chip of some kind, due to the color change you mentioned, but booting it up from the eject button disables the chip. It could be an issue of your hard drive not being locked, and/or not having the proper original dashboard files on there. I personally do not recommend removing a mod from an original Xbox these days at all, it would be better to figure out which mod you have and build up a hard drive to your liking. Tools like HeXen do that.
Great video, I not to long ago started backing up my games. All 954 of them one by one via ftp. Would the original files on the xbox be effected by winSCP?
ACL Processing can work for all games, but the recommendation has been to turn it off for Live enabled titles as it does cause issues there. If it's a single player game and having it processed allows the game to work, that's fine.
Trying to use DVD2Xbox and it's stuck at "DVD: Drive Init" and I hear making noise like it's starting over and over again. I tested the DVD drive to see if games play normally and they do. Any ideas what could be the fix?
Thanks for the recap, now I can save all my favorite games before the disks will loose its data. Do those DVD drives really break so easily? Won't it be damaged when I bakup all my games (~30)? Do you know if I can connect a Flash drive to the Xbox to play the games, since I don't really want to open up the Xbox to install a bigger HDD. I imagine it isn't so great when I copy different games all the time, since the HDD is very old .
I'd be curious about this as well. I think it has to do with the F and G partitions not being setup correctly initially. I see the setting in dvd2xbox, but it doesn't allow editing. It shows in the dashboard settings as enabled and I reran the dvd2xbox install and NK Patcher partitioner to be sure. No luck.
Okay, figured out you can change the top Autodetect Partition Setting and then you can toggle F and G. It's in the settings menu of dvd2xbox. Still not sure why it doesn't autodetect by default though.
Interesting Ford Racing 2 doesn't seem to be on that ACL list but the game won't play on my HDD unless i extracted it using DVD2Xbox with ACL Processing enabled.
@@MrMario2011 The ACL patch doesn't seem to have any negative effect either with Insignia, seeing as you just manually post your times to the leaderboards no proper multiplayer.
Enable HD resolutions, best place to do it is in the stock Dashboard. Other than that any 480p content will have to be stretched on your TV settings themselves.
Is there a way to run the XISO on the console? Some games, like GUN and Tony Hawks American Wasteland have filepaths that are longer than the 256 char limit for a FATX path, so they don’t transfer over with FTP at all.
Yeah there is. Just change DVD2Xbox to ISO mode and it should work. The most interesting solution should be Cerbios as BIOS and CCI as a compressed image format for xisos to save a lot of space. Psyvariar 2 can be a small as ~100MiB when converting it to CCI. check out repackinator and cerbios for more information.
As the person above me said, you can go into ISO mode but you don't really need to 99% of the time. There are less than 30 games that have that long filepath issue and most of them can be patched like Alter Echo, Enter the Matrix, TOCA 3, etc. GUN works fine even without a patch though, dunno why you listed it. Anyway, there are only 9 games that were never patched so you have to run them as ISOs or through a burned DVD. I will list them just in case others are curious: - Frankie Dettori Racing - Furious Karting - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - Manchested United Manager 2005 - Monster Garage - Ski Racing 2006 - Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Critical Hour - Tony Hawk's American Wasteland - Tony Hawk's Project 8
Question with the local network thingy, do I need to connect my computer to the Xbox or plug the Ethernet into the wall and I will be able to connect to it wireless?
following up on the method of ripping the game files through the cd drive and ftp client. i have a chameleon chip in my xbox, i read somewhere that you can swap any og xbox cd drive into these things and they will function properly. however i also read that you can use almost ANY cd drive with these xboxes and it will only read burned games and not official ones. is it possible to swap in a random disc drive and copy the files from the games this way you think? my drive still works, i just dont want to kill it by trying to rip games.
You can look into old, old mods people did swapping standard consumer DVD drives into the Xbox. That doesn't sound totally accurate, and there are modifications you have to perform on a consumer drive, but they can work. However, yes, any Xbox DVD drive can be interchanged between consoles. The hard drives are keyed to their motherboards, not the DVD drives.
@@MrMario2011 Following up on my previous comment....i commented on another one of your videos regarding upgrading my HDD on the hard modded Xbox. i think the reason i stopped playing this console was bc my dvd drive was dead... but i found rockys video for putting chimp on the HDD to clone. so im going to try that. my question now: i know its preferable to put the disc in the dvd drive and let dvd2xbox install on the drive bc it patches games that need it automatically. is there a different process involved with just sourcing my ISO files and putting them on the HDD via FTP? (do i need to patch any of the games manually?) Is there a list somewhere online that i can read up about any games that i have needing patched? i really appreciate your help, and your content is very well laid out!
@@MrMario2011 gotcha but is there anyway to put those games on a bigger flash and put them on the hard drive of the Xbox instead or does the original Xbox just use lower gigabyte drives

Accurate info here!
i have a 2tb filled to the brim and it takes a minute but well worth it having every xbox game you can think of
How do you put one of those hard drives into an og xbox?
Will never dislike my friend. Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge Sir! Love and blessing from Ontario Canada.
Much appreciated 🖤
Great video man. I'm watching your Xbox 360 videos and plan to mod one soon
Have fun!
I was trying to figure out how to get my games off my system and then you post this :) thank you!

3:20 ACL processing can also mess up some games such as Monkey Ball and GTA San Andreas and cause them to not load and crash.
Yep!
can you ftp over xiso images to the console or does the console only support playing games in their folder format?
Happy anniversary to Avalaunch and Qwix in March 2023 is their 20 year anniversary!
How many devkits are needed?
@@MrMario2011 none
I do it with my old Win XP computer. Got a suitable drive and a specific software to rip Xbox discs.
Very cool! I've got a 0800 drive but it can be a bit troublesome at times to get working with original Xbox discs.
What software do you have?
Which skin for Unleashx is that? The green and the font looks nice. Thanks

Metadata would be updated, but as long as the files transfer completely they should hopefully be fine.
Will ACL processing work for Evil Dead Regeneration as this is one game that always freezes on load, great channel keep up the good work.

Is there a way to load games onto the HDD from a PC and just have them work that way? I have a HDD to USB adapter.

my games are not making their own files, they all appear under f:games\dvd2xbox , how do I change that?
Is your laser starting to go out? On my weaker drives it can take longer to detect the disc, and if it doesn't detect properly it shows up like that.
Thanks for the recap, now I can save all my favorite games before the disks will loose its data.

USB capability on the original Xbox would be much too slow to play games from.

Can you dump the ISO from the xbox disc to your PC to play on emulators but without having the xbox console itself?
Sure, using a 0800, Kreon, or other specific models of drives.

Do you have a tutorial how to burn xbox games in dvd...
Watch the video 😂
what skin is that i want that one =)
do the discs need to be DVD-R? or can you use DL? coz some xiso files are over 4.7gb
Would not be recommended using DL
Ok so dvd-r's ars 4.7gb , so how do you fit games that are over 4.7gb?
How is your resolution so crisp in this video?
Xbox -> Chimeric Systems HDMI Adapter -> Elgato HD60 S+
That's my hardware setup, hope that helps.
i tired three discs to burn and it wouldnt burn at all i need some help it kept saying io error in imgburn
Honestly wouldn't recommend burning OG Xbox games these days.

Hey! I recently tried to clean my xbox abit and i broke one of the fan clips. I'm worried if it would be a problem. Is it fine?
Probably fine.

Can you rip dvd movies to the xbox?
I believe so, but I've never done it. Always do it on PC.
Thankfully no games im interested in 😅
It won't let me turn my game folder (NFS Underground2) into an xiso. Am I missing something?
