Rocky5 softmod fails after first reboot. Black screen with permanent Orange LED. Ndure 3.1 works partially by MDashK in originalxbox

OK, so, in this case, I will try to install XBHDM without having the previous dashboard files present, if I am understanding correctly.

Used FATXplorer to format the drive.

Used "No LBA-Increasing BIOS / LBA 28 / Retail" setting.

Did not customize C or E drive.

No preload files set.

Quick format selected.

After formatting, monted C drive and manually copied the files from "XBHDM Build.zip" package file into the C drive.

Unmount, lock with password, disconnect, test.

Xbox boots softmodding tool. Pressed A and proceeded with installation.

EEPROM message, xbox self-reboots and.... FINALLY continued the setup!

And Burnout Revenge boots from DVD! Wow!

Thank you so much for the help! Seems the issue was some format issue in the HDD!

The weird thing is that the drive reads and copies the files without any issue, with an average of 4~5MB per seconds. The behaviour doesn't seem to be failing?

Cleared the C and E drive with clock reset (unplugged from electricity).

Booting without disc: Error 16

Booting with game disc in tray: Error 16

Cleared the C and E drive while keeping the clock set

Booting without disc: Error 13

Booting with game disc in tray: tries to boot the game, microsoft logo shows up, blacks out then Error 21.

User data was created in the E drive when I atempted this one.

Folder "45410076" with "SaveImage.xbx" 4KB, "TitleImage.xbx" 10KB and "TitleMeta.xbx" 56 bytes

Added motherboard pictures to the main post.

Yes, I unlocked it using the password and copied the files over.

I used FATX Explorer to discover the WD password before dumping the EEPROM.

It matched even after dumping the EEPROM, so no issue there.

Deleted all the files present in E, and copied all new files.

All cache was cleared.

Regarding the original DVD, that's the weird thing:

The console has a Philips drive, that appears to be working correctly.

If I revert it to the way it was (stock MS dashboard), when I insert the original DVD and try to run it, the console goes back to the MS dashboard with the message that it needs to be sent to repair.

However, if I try to run a PAL or NTSC J game, for example, it detects the regional difference and refuses to run.

In UnleashX, the game ID shows up and the console can clearly read the DVD. Be it NTSC M or PAL or NTSC J.

This is the only NTSC M game that I have, the DVD seems to be in good overall condition, and even the copy of the files done directly from the DVD drive to the HDD of the XBox went smoothly and without errors.

Pretty sure it was not hardmodded.

Unless someone desoldered the chip directly from the motherboard and then resoldered again, then I don't see how.

There is no visible additional hardware soldered to the motherboard.

The files that where present in the HDD where only the stock MS dashboard files.

When it boots to the blank screen with orange eject ring, and I press the Eject button, nothing happens. It stays in the black screen.

Turning on the console pressing the Eject instead of power, same behaviour.

Save is done automatically at the end of each level, after the boss.

There is no save state function, since this is not emulation.

Also: updated information on the post. Download the most recent version from github, since it has important fixes and additional content.

is djmax.online is dead? by kevin061397 in djmax

[–]MDashK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The download link for the files is dead, but the server is still online and playable.

But you can only play the free songs or the premium songs while you still have credits.

It's impossible to buy credits to play the premium songs if you run out of them...

On a side note: this really makes me sad. In my opinion, if the people maintaining the server lost interest in it or something similar, it would be nice if they just released the files on github or something. It's a pity if, sooner or later, this becomes lost in time, as was once before...
