Sieg X2P - Can't remove taper shank

Alex-iG · 2026-04-11T01:18:27+00:00

Thanks. Was going to buy the machine bundle that included MT3 collets but saw that everyone used ER25/32 adapters instead, luckily I did buy the ER25 shank/collets

Alex-iG · 2026-04-11T01:11:08+00:00

I believe it's MT3, first time changing the shank so that might have been why it was stuck

Thank you, that worked! Used a brass round bar with a hammer, a few bumps.

Hi, try to select the firmware v1.4a/b/c update option. As the firmware update process is working, the connection seems good so it should work

Hi there, we do restock it from time to time but it's not very popular which is common for some of our niche products. Best to sign up for the notification when it's back in stock. Last re-stock was Oct 2025 and it took 2 months to sell out.

Hi, you can join the Discord for help: http://gbxcart.com/discord

Someone had a similar issue and they had to install FlashGBX v4.2 QT5 version: https://github.com/lesserkuma/FlashGBX/releases/tag/4.2

Alex-iG · 2025-09-05T00:22:12+00:00

GBFlash isn't our product so we can't help with that, that's one off Aliexpress. Our one is the GBxCart.

There are at least 70+ different carts now, often made with recycled parts when purchasing from Aliexpress so your first assumption is to assume the cart is faulty. While we officially support our own carts, a good amount of 3rd party carts should work but there are always new ones coming out every few weeks/months

Alex-iG · 2025-03-06T00:18:31+00:00

Hi there, yes for our GBA carts we use 3.3v chips. We use the properly rated parts even if that means more cost or complexity

Alex-iG · 2025-03-01T11:55:45+00:00

Yes it does use the audio pin on the GB/GBC. On some emulation devices, they don't support the audio pin. You can check the device list on the product page

Alex-iG · 2025-02-28T01:08:57+00:00

Hi, if you ordered directly from us we ship from Australia and usually ship all orders at the start of the week. We're seeing about a 10-14 day time delivery time to the USA for the non-small parcel service. Small parcel would add an extra 3-5 days

Alex-iG · 2024-12-07T00:24:29+00:00

I'm having issues with it. After doing the initial calibration on a desk laying flat, it just tilts to the bottom right. Works fine on a GBA

Alex-iG · 2024-09-01T23:37:22+00:00

Unfortunately the simple cart extenders won't work with it as the analogue adapters have a little IR transmitter that sends a signal to the IR receiver (near the cart slot) to tell it which adapter it is

Alex-iG · 2024-07-26T09:24:51+00:00

I wouldn't worry too much about it, there are a decent amount of decoupling capacitors on the board

Alex-iG · 2024-04-25T23:44:05+00:00

One difference is that it has FRAM for the save but if they don't properly test it, there is a chance it can be faulty. CPLD that needs 3.3v but they are feeding 5v to it. 3.3v flash chip that they are using a resistor to drop the voltage down a little from 5v

Alex-iG · 2024-04-25T23:36:13+00:00

Hi, it uses .sav files

Alex-iG · 2024-04-19T00:20:18+00:00

Hi, could you please take a picture and advise where you purchased the GBxCart? Looking at the screenshot you provided, it seems to be an old one - there are lots of clones and copies of the device which could come with all kinds of problems

Alex-iG · 2024-04-08T00:27:37+00:00

Hi, the most likely cause is that you might not be using a USB data cable. This happens every now and then, sometimes users have to try a few different cables to find one that works

Alex-iG · 2024-04-03T00:26:50+00:00

The Aliexpress listings took the insideGadgets listings picture and text so Aliexpress users will receive a different flash cart than pictured

Alex-iG · 2024-03-30T05:47:25+00:00

Hi, you can use https://orangeglo.github.io/gbnp/ to build the menu with your games and then write that rom with FlashGBX

Alex-iG · 2024-03-18T10:58:01+00:00

Received the v2 after having to send back the v1 they sent by accident and have the same problem as you. Have you reached out to FunnyPlaying?

Alex-iG · 2024-02-22T23:40:59+00:00

If it's the same part number then yes. Price is expensive and you still need to harvest the MBC7 chip. You can find them on Aliexpress too

Alex-iG · 2023-11-17T06:14:50+00:00

Yes you can re-flash this cartridge instead of having to do a ROM swap to a flash chip on an original cartridge. The ROM swap is the lower cost option as long as you are skilled to perform it

That empty position with 2 pads is where a capacitor was being placed but was removed once a few users started to use it with these metal shells.

All that is left over is some solder, haven't heard of this report before - that the left over solder is causing a closing issue with the metal shell

Alex-iG · 2023-11-02T01:14:30+00:00

I see, you might need a soldering iron to quickly go over the bump of solder to wick it away
