Did you take that clock capacitor out of your xbox hueg yet, /v/?

>>377427042
Yeah, I took three out, the more you take out the faster it runs, I'm able to run Skyrim at 60 frames per two seconds now.

Cause you really should, I thought my xbox was fine but then I took the time to disassemble my xbox and lo & behold there was green acid shit on the bottom of the capacitor and on the motherboard, it couldn't have lived another year if I left it alone/

Yes

>>377427042
no but i took my cock capacity out of ur mum
:^)

>>377427485
wtf how did you get that framerate on Xbox? Should I remove mine too? I'm too scared to break it :(

If you take out the resistors your graphics become better. You could also try to use 5 9V batteries and inject it parallel to the PSU

>>377427042
why would one do this?

>>377428464
It's bait

I need to see if my is still stock, I bought it pre-modded so it may have been replaced already

>>377428464
Ticking time bomb in the og Xbox apparently, its the one piece that will fail and fuck it up

>>377428464
Because they pop over time, leaking acid onto the mobo which will eventually irreparably destroy it.
It's only used for the RTC, so no point keeping it.

do all xbos have this or just certain models/versions?

>>377428815
>no point keeping it.
I googled it since I only expected meme answers and it turns out you have to replace it if your hueg was manufactured after a certain date, but if it was manufactured earlier than that you can just remove it

>>377429221
Yes they all have them, not all xboxs have the same mobo layout so it's important to do your research and not haphazardly remove shit you don't know about, keep in mind what >>377429321 said, chances are that you don't have to replace anything, majority of xboxs don't need to have a replaced capacitor, only the way later models.

>>377429941
>>377429321
whats the "cut off date"

cuz i have a hueg sitting around gathering dust

>>377430136
There is no cut off date, some Xboxs are already dead from it and there are models out there working with them still but are probably already deformed or leaking acid and it's just a matter of time.

>>377430136
if its not a 1.6 just tsop it

>>377430136
The cutoff date was the 10 year anniversary of the huegbox. Time's ticking, fuckboy, here's to hoping you can save yours

tsop or fash the bios to a hacked one it involves using a soft mod and then booting a disc. you also have to solder two points on the board to allow software read write to the bios chip.

that set off any alarms for yall

also i wanna thank OP for the public service annoucement (though some of the videos i found are all dated back as far as 2013)

last time i ran it was probably last year trying out Ninja gaiden black

>>377430947
here is a video guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIw8k5areQg
remember this allows for unlocked drives to be installed so you can use a sata to ide adapter with this. with a soft mod you cant use unlocked drives. ide drives will all eventually die

>>377431060

v1.6, Hope you know how to solder.

you also have to install a new ide cable with more pins to use a sata adapter if i remember correctly.

>>377428464
There's more room for airflow in the console.
Personally I just settle for drilling some holes in the top.

>>377431452
1.6 xboxes don't really have the aerogel cap problem Microsoft fixed it. also xbox fires where caused by shity foxcon power supplys.

I Have a launch og xbox never modded anything, last time I powered it up was march of this year everything still worked. Guess I need to get that removed soon

>>377432192

It's not as big a deal as made out. Even if the thing does pop the most likely outcome is not a bricked console, it's that it fails to keep the time when you unplug it.

I have an Xbox Hueg that I hacked using Splinter Cell. Put UnleashX as the dashboard, with a skin that makes it look like the stock UI.

My question is what's the difference of doing a TSOP vs a regular softmod? This makes no difference to me, since I believe I have a 1.6 anyway. Just curious

Each time I hook it up I have to set the date and time once. As long as it is hooked up it keeps the date and time correctly for stuff. Is it possible the capacitor has already burst ?

>>377433203

If the second you unplug it it loses the time the cap is already gone. If it takes a while after unplugging it before it loses the time it's still working.

>>377433432
>games lost forever to the sands of time
what a shame

>>377433472
not him but i've had to set the time every time i start it up (i'ts plugged into a powerbar that's witched off mostly of the time)
should i still fix the issue or is it safe to leave it?

>>377433824
Most of the games will never get ported to steam. They are locked in Microsoft/Xbox copyright prison.

>all Xbox huegs will die within 5 years
>no emulator in sight

WHY

>>377433824
Xbox trash is worthless either way,

>>377428464
Microsoft got the cheapest shit capacitors on the market that will corrode through your motherboard when left alone. The clock capacitor is notorious for being the worst and also the most useless.

>>377434160

Take care of it if it really worries you. If it's already popped when you open it up and there's gunk around I wouldn't touch any of it with my bare hands when cleaning it up.

I just bought an Xbox a couple of months ago, and it was driving me nuts that the thing would have me enter the time and date every time I plugged it back in, since I don't have enough outlets to keep everything powered at once.
At least I know why now.

I took out the DVD drive since it was the more reliable revision but I really don't want to give that mobo another glance.

From Software's older games were fun as fuck before they became DEEP AND INTERESTING SOULSLIKES

I hate Miyazaki and what he's done to the company practically, the only thing he's done worth note is Armored Core For Answer and even then ZotE is better not to mention his involvement in it was limited
