It also looks like they will use the screw near the LPC bus to fix the pcb on the motherboard.
Also note the 2 switches (= 4 modes?) ... there's no official information about those yet.

The 'programmer' is external (apparently powered by a 9v battery)

New Xbox Model
Posted by Theendisgone at 19:37 PM

News Source: XboxHacker BBS

Posted by BOSSGP

"After modding many many x-boxes I want to confirm it's true there is a new version that came out during 8/2002 different things: re done mainboard, no fan on the nvidia video chip, small chip missing behind the onboard bios.

Different connection for the control leads inside.small board is now missing that the control leads plugged into.NEW DVD ROM USED PHILLIPS BRAND, not as loud as the Thompson but still whats the point without a mod chip.

All mod chips I tried wont work.

I will put some pics here tomorrow.with the new bios number as well ! !
If you fit the evox mod chip the machine wont power up, it's just keeps flashing, on/off no screen, no nothing.
Hope this is'nt a major setback in the mod chip world.
Seems all new AUSTRALIAN models are like this now."

Project 411GB
Posted by Theendisgone at 23:12 PM

Found this news posted over at XboxHacker.NET

So what's it about ?, well it is simply to be able to switch between multiple (3) hard drives without plugging and unplugging.

Here is some more info:

"The largest hard drive capacity supported by the xbox is 137GB, since there are no 137GB drives 160GB drives will have to do :-)
Each one will be cut off at 137GB, giving a total of approximately 411GB!

News Source: Xpad

"I have discussed with the team a week or so ago about what we should do and well the options to re-create the driver from scratch was one option. As Lord Victorys source is good, but to many debugging problems. I have been in discussions with another programmer who has a greater knowledge of WDM programming.
And well l have sent the source to him to see what we can achieve. I really apreciate Slayer and ZeroX's help so far and by increasing the team we may achieve our goals faster. I know l've been busy with life stuff, but as l have one week off l will spend alot of time online and try to get somewhere with this.

I know all of you are getting a bit miffed with us and well again lm sorry. If anyone has any ideas or help in any area of WDM driver developing. Please email it to anyone in the programming team. I will update this page again when new information is available."

MICROSOFT BUYS RARE
Posted by Theendisgone at 21:43 PM

Source: Xbox-Emu Forums

Despite rumours that Activision were interested in buying Rare, Microsoft have snapped up one of Nintendo’s most revered second party developers for the sum of around £300 million. The official announcement of this deal is likely to come on September the 24th at Microsoft’s upcoming European show; the X02 in Seville. Although GameCube owners will still see the release of Nintendo’s 100th Eurpoean release in the form of Rare’s Starfox Adventures, both Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong Racing for the GBA have been canned.

Check out the link below to download it, along with the other 3 apps I've made (all Windows 32 apps, which are freeware).

ISOX-Creator v0.1 and XStream-Helper v0.1 released
Posted by Theendisgone at 1:38 AM

I've released these two apps today. ISOX v0.1 makes UDF iso images, that work for your xbox, and you can still view the contents of the disc on your PC. Useful for development testing, or just general purpose.

XStream-Helper is basically a GUI and config.xml generator. What it does is show a directory listing. You find the location of where your movies, or mp3s are on your computer. Then you can launch Xstream console. Useful for win98se users (like me). No need to worry about not having a config.xml, like I said it gets auto generated.

Too many people have trouble configuring the xbplayer.xml, mainly caused by improper entering of installation directories, so that is why this is here right now. The Visual BASIC code is open source. Notepad and original xbplayer.xml not required ;) , enjoy!

RelaX has been updated to work with Xbox Media Player 6, here what has been fixed and added.

·  Fixed timeout routines.. now u can pause a divx for like 5 hrs and resume.. and it still goes on!

·  Fixed files hanging (when xbmp doesn't play the file it leave's the file open on the server and doesn't send a clse command). So when another session starts it will close any previous connection

·  B6 Directory support (works with the virtual directory introduced in v02!)

·  Splitted up the main unit into several other units. It was becoming way too big, and I needed clean cuts of functionallity that I needed in the following feature.

·  Added Windows NT service support (yeah this was the feature i'm talking about)
