CoinOPS is great but it needs a new look/skin. That's all i gotsta say aboot that now.

Trusty does some good work, i've never had an issue with my board. However when he first started doing this he was doing 1.0GHZ/128mb ram mobos but now all he does is 1.4ghz with 128mb ram. He also can do just the ram upgrade too. My 1.0ghz board has been kicking ass for 2 years now and all i did was redo thermal paste for some extra cooling as it did run alittle hotter than normal. You can mail him your motherboard to have the mods dont but it cannot be a 1.6 as there is no place on the mobo for extra ram on the version. He's a very cool guy and very nice. Even with people having heat issues with the new 1.4ghz boards he was cool and helped any way he could. Lately to combat the heat issues he's been adding upgraded heatsinks but if you need for info on those just ask Philexile as he got the perfect copper heatsink for those boards. Advantages...........XBMC is alittle snapier even though it does not take advantage of the extra ram. Some MP4's will play just fine and getting some 720p movies to work is much easier. Again, i only have a 1.0ghz board so Phil might be the best person to ask about the advantages of the new boards. Hope this helps someone, Nextelhalo

Trusty is actually in China so it could be cheaper on shipping if your in the UK. haha Phil, beat me by seconds there.

There's a little program called DVD2XBOX that should take care of what you need. Best for transferring games but it should do most media.

aha, thanks for the link Waal.

That was the first place i looked but couldnt find anything.

Anyone know where i can get a package of preview videos for the new 64 setup?

I guess you dont have to use the slayers disc or anything like that, just make the appropriate folders needed for everything. If you didnt get LBA warnings and XBpartitioner worked ok you should be fine and ready to go. Cheers, Nextelhalo

If you are able to launch XBpartitioner without it giving any warning signs about the LBA options you should be just fine and wont need to update your BIOS. What you need to do is launch XBPartitioner and set up the drive so that there are two main partitions. You cane make it 137GB on F and 300+ on G or just make sure that the big F patition (400+gb's) is formatted with 32k clusters. When you highlight the large partition in XBpartitioner it will tell you at the bottom what it's going to do and how big the cluster size will be. Just select that and let it format the drive. It should'nt take more than 20-30 seconds. After you've done that you can use Slayers or AID to reinstall all of the apps, just make sure AID or slayers does not format the drive again, only let it install the apps to F or however you have it setup. For the modchip, i dont know much about the DUOX3's but at a quick glance the look alot like the DuoX2's, bank switch and all. I bet you've got the options for 2x 512k Bios'. You can use X2_5035 but make sure it's 512k in size since there is also a 1MB size too and that will NOT work. Also you need to figure out what version xbox you have so as there are two different versions of X2_5035 to be used, one is for xbox's that are version 1.0-1.5 and another used only for 1.6 xbox's. Hope this helps Cheers, NExtel

When your adding the source just highlight the DVD drive (make sure it's empty or it will look at the DVD contents) and choose OK. Sounds like you have a game or something n the drive. If not the upgrade to the newest build 3.0.1 Stable.

lol, BP you little instigator. You remind me of the guy on this clip, start exactly one minute in, guy in the purple jersey on the left.

Oh, haha, i love random pics to describe the mood. And i love random pics in general......a few.......

Yes Yes, more please sir.................but not too much, dont want to spoil it early
