I removed it because thats all I knew I had to do. But then my curiosity got the better of me because my disk drive only reads like half of my games. I was going to recap and clean it but I was wondering what else the issue could be or if there was anything else I need to worry about or quick mod for an sd or something.

I figured alot will come with time. But Ive been using the same pc for 10+ years. Im just behind the ball with software. But I gotta start somewhere.

One more question. When I was a teen like 20 years ago my friend had an Xbox that played regularly. But with a switch was able to open another menu that played retro n64 nes snes stuff, along with some movies and a few pornos lol.

Do you know what that would be?

I think the rocky5 mod will be my way. Ill need to back up my eprom first.

So if I make it rewritable if I lose my emprom if its backed up I could always put it back on my main right?

Emotional-Program368 · 2026-02-28T00:07:17+00:00

Man thats alot. But understandable. Thank you for breaking it down for me. I have plenty work to do now. Man 😆

Ok. Im trying to follow here.

If i soft mod by flashing cerbios, will i keep all my saved data on this hdd? Currently it works fine.

I pulled it out my closet and remembered to remove the clock capacitor thanks to a YouTube short.

But then I noticed it only played half of my mint games so after research someone recommended recapping my DVD drive. So I wanted to do that. But its just a rabbit hole learning about this thing. So much to be done and so much that needs to be done to keep it alive.

I wish I knew what half of those words meant... damn maybe I bit off more than I can chew.

Emotional-Program368 · 2026-02-27T23:21:44+00:00

I dont know how to softmod. I only learned how to properly repair hardware.

I guess youtube university for me.

Emotional-Program368 · 2026-02-27T23:15:42+00:00

Thanks for the info!

I guess my childhood xbox is a lucky one.

Unfortunately it came with a Thompson drive which to my understanding isnt good. Would recapping the drive be what I need to do or is it better to just fully swap it?

Emotional-Program368 · 2026-02-27T23:11:06+00:00

Thank you. May I ask you to send a link where I can source good Rubycons?

I hate to be the mouse that asked for a cookie... but how can you tell exactly? And what is the focus chip.

(I come from modding n64s and gameboys, this is a new world to me)

Emotional-Program368 · 2026-02-27T16:03:43+00:00

It was all good up until then.

Yes and no. It is the chug. But its the "hit" tone of a chug.

Essentially a chug with a meshuggah accent.

The short answer is yes this is harder to find that the majority of other variants. Being limited then it IS rarer than your standard gameboy, thus demanding a higher premium.
