The ULTIMATE OG Xbox Upgrade: 1.4GHz, HDMI, & Project Stellar

[@TearlessGosling]

Glad to see you back man! My frankie is still chewing gum and kicking butt.

[@ConsoleKingRepair]

@@TearlessGosling thanks man! Glad your Frankie’s still going strong.

[@Agoz8375]

omg the good old XBOX timeless console...

[@CheeseManMedia.]

Next video: putting an i7-12600k in a Playstation 2!

[@leonpano]

Is not same architecture at all amd64/x86-64-v3 vs MIPS

[@CheeseManMedia.]

@@leonpano I am well aware. I know it would be virtually impossible, this was meant as a joke my guy.

[@Allgone-b4k]

Funny you should say that, one can emulate a PS2 on modern CPUs.

[@narniaphuket]

why not go all in with a 9800X3D? might as well get the best (it ain't Intel, that's for sure)

[@CheeseManMedia.]

@@narniaphuket True that, but my comment was meant for a joke, and people often recognize "i7" more readily than R9 9800X3D. Still, though, after the whole intel instability bit with the 13th and 14th generation, I ain't trying their new weirdly named series. I'm sticking to my Ryzen 7 5800x3d.

[@TheFacesOriginals]

Hell bro, this is great, and very interesting, as a 1.4ghz xbox owner, I didn't squeeze mine enough, someday I will paid for this upgrades. You could go one step more, trying the 720p patchs in some heavy games, like Halo 2 and Doom 3. That's an interesting thing to see!

[@rakeshpk9648]

Well that was something brother!!

[@DIYDUDE012]

HL2 bloomed all of the sudden

[@ConsoleKingRepair]

@@DIYDUDE012 biggest improvement on this console, HL2

[@redxmemes]

good work

[@ConsoleKingRepair]

Thanks

[@SrSamuerto]

That dude on the Jeep trying to give you a little bump of friendship in that last clip. Also, did you upgrade the RAM as well? I would be missing just that (unless it was already modded).

[@Darko42000]

I was going say if your going upgrade the CPU, you might has well upgrade the ram.

[@ConsoleKingRepair]

Yes, the ram was also upgraded.

[@Darko42000]

@ConsoleKingRepair yeah I figured cause half life 2 loading time at the door had zero source engine lag

[@fixthetempo7276]

cool! thanks for video!

[@Rambonz2]

Get it king!

[@jonathanbutler6635]

Would be cool to see the ram upgrade too. Especially now with the new kits that double it again.

[@ConsoleKingRepair]

Planning on doing it, ill for sure post about it

[@oldschooldude8370]

Nice work. Hl2 runs quite like shit with stock.

[@comrade_grigory2133]

You should've show games that actually struggle on this console, while half life does games such as gta and halo works pretty good, i remember for example doom3 work like assss and i think CPU upgrade would improve framerate

[@ConsoleKingRepair]

Good point, Ill test more games in coming up videos, thanks!

[@VoiceActingInGames]

Does the difference feel/look much better when actually playing? I’ve been debating doing this to my Xbox. Pros and cons in your opinion?

[@legalveil1641]

Increíble video bro una pregunta también se podrá cambiar el procesador y una ps3 y una Xbox 360?

[@CheeseManMedia.]

Not in the way that Console King did in this video. On a PS3, you can swap out the 90nm RSX processor for a more stable 45nm one.

[@legalveil1641]

@CheeseManMedia. Entonces si es posible cambiarle el procesador?

[@CheeseManMedia.]

@@legalveil1641 Yes, but won't really change the performance. It will only perform the same but with lower temperatures.

[@DaftKermitThePunk]

But where's the ram upgrade interposer boards?? I want all the ram :'( 128mb isn't enough lol

[@ConsoleKingRepair]

One day my friend

[@DaftKermitThePunk]

@ConsoleKingRepair shall we start a petition for it's release and raise money? Lol I want it so bad.

[@69djpitbull]

Idk if you know but I saw Tony Modello posting about this same mod.

[@sajtcraft3473]

maybe upscale it a bit so it lags like standard but better picture quality

[@siem8160]

Given your level, you'll certainly be able to fill me in. I bought a broken Xbox at a garage sale. I told myself it was a simple problem that I was going to solve. In fact, it's the EEPROM that's damaged, with the SCL tab missing and a pad destroyed. I replaced the EEPROM 24wc02j with a model I thought was identical, but it refuses to flash. Can you recommend an exact EEPROM model for an Xbox 1.2? Many thanks in advance. Could you demonstrate us a perfect Modxo installation with a simple Pi Zero or its clones?

[@ConsoleKingRepair]

How did you confirm that the EEPROM was damaged? I'm also actually finding some EEPROM chips with the same model number, but from what I'm reading you already tried this. And I also assume that you fixed the broken pad?

[@siem8160]

@@ConsoleKingRepair Thank you very much for your reply. One tab is broken and the case is swollen like overheating with a hot air gun. Yes, I have repaired the SLC pad, especially as it is connected to a point under the IC and another point outside. I tried to restore a backup of another console I had in my hands a few years ago, but without success. I have the impression that the EEPROMs I ordered from Aliex are not suitable. Do you know of an EEPROM model that might be compatible? Would an ATMEL 24c02n be compatible?

[@ConsoleKingRepair]

@@siem8160 I wouldnt know at all if im being honest, Ali has been hit and miss for parts. Did you by chance use a rip you got from a 1.0, or 1.6 board? If that is the case, the console will be inoperable. it NEEDS to be a rip off a 1.1 - 1.4 board since you're using a 1.2 revision. They have more info here on the wiki: consolemods.org/wiki/Xbox:EEPROM

[@siem8160]

@@ConsoleKingRepair Thank you very much for this information. I will look into this in detail.

[@twobitgamer]

Chill song, what's is the name?

[@steele1772]

Halo 2 it some scenes ran over 30fps would be cool to see how the Xbox mod would do

[@ConsoleKingRepair]

@@steele1772 yea, halo wasn’t that crazy. HDMI made it look much more sharp, but the improvements weren’t amazing.

[@MisterChief711]

@@ConsoleKingRepair he's talking about halo 2 which i think by his words had moments where the FPS was not capped.

[@ConsoleKingRepair]

@@MisterChief711 I’ll have to try it out, would be cool if that’s the case.

[@protox07]

Awesome

[@Naminave]

No entiendo, se ve igual. Mas bien parece que convirtiera la señal "stock" a HDMI

[@ShiroColdkeyesTheHedgehog]

Can you upgrade the ram and also; remove the clock caps or replace them?

[@ConsoleKingRepair]

@@ShiroColdkeyesTheHedgehog I actually removed the clock cap on this unit, and upgraded the ram. I actually ordered all the caps required for a full board recap as well.

[@ShiroColdkeyesTheHedgehog]

@ConsoleKingRepair how much wouldn't cost, I am curious to know if you can make it Insignia Live Playable

[@ConsoleKingRepair]

@@ShiroColdkeyesTheHedgehog if you want ram, and a full board recap. We can do it for $200.

[@ShiroColdkeyesTheHedgehog]

@@ConsoleKingRepair Will you be sure to upgrade CPU also, I want to make sure price is right

[@ConsoleKingRepair]

@@ShiroColdkeyesTheHedgehog if you want all that, we can work something out.

[@kungfujesus06]

At some point this ends up being held back by memory and bus frequencies, I'm sure.

[@MatarXtreme12]

are you ever gonna do a gpu upgrade or any xbox 360 vids

[@ConsoleKingRepair]

@@MatarXtreme12 I was for sure going to do 360 videos, I’m not sure if a GPU upgrade is possible with OG Xbox.

[@Hazza1897]

Would a GPU upgrade be possible for a 360 or ps3 love the content btw would love to see these kind of upgrades for the previous consoles mentioned as well as a ps2 I've seen mod chips for ps2 by @macho nacho with the SD card upgrade not seen anyone directly upgrade a cpu/gpu on the console tho I assume it's harder due to the fact that the original Xbox was basically a pc

[@GamingXPOfficial]

Different architecture not really doable probably not worth it I think a gpu overclock is alot more feasible and show better/stable results

[@JesseJamesHeadrick]

I'm shocked I didn't see Doom 3! Definitely worth a comparison. That game runs like crap on stock.

[@ThePsychoticWombat]

How about a RAM upgrade and GPU overclock?

[@ConsoleKingRepair]

@@ThePsychoticWombat we actually did the ram off camera, I’ll have to see about overclocking though.

[@obao6275]

Next is my hack, next bios with virtual ram.

[@taner980]

can the gpu be upgraded at all ?

[@ConsoleKingRepair]

Not currently, xbox games were programmed with this particular GPU in mind.

[@TheFacesOriginals]

But, actually you can overclock the GPU some hz and (although unstable) try for some games, the performance increase some fps it's more than the ram upgrade and cpu upgrade due the power of GPU, direct X and the games aswell.

[@fluffypinkpandas]

the diodes for this upgrade simply do not exist in digikey. where did you get the pcb population?

[@ConsoleKingRepair]

Not sure what you mean?

[@fluffypinkpandas]

@@ConsoleKingRepair well i cant just plop a cpu on my interposer and solder it onto the board and call it a day, can I? I need all 40-something of those little bits that go ONTO the interposer in addition to the cpu... where are you getting them? they arent in stock. i have all but the last 5 on the Interposer's parts requirements article. What do you mean you arent sure? You have heard of digikey, surely.

[@ConsoleKingRepair]

@ I got everything off JLCPCB, all pre-populated. They had every component i needed for franks interposer.

[@fluffypinkpandas]

@@ConsoleKingRepair wow up until today the only interposer with its name making the rounds was the n64freak interposer which requires the buyer (me) to populate the pcb

[@ConsoleKingRepair]

@ I would highly recommend franks, I can link it if you’d like. We’re also going to start selling it pre popped on our website.

[@usmancoban3448]

And ram upgrade?

[@ConsoleKingRepair]

@@usmancoban3448 yup, we did it off camera.

[@fohatadri]

Has anyone tried soldering some other nvidia gpu chip from 20+ years ago?

[@ConsoleKingRepair]

@@fohatadri not yet, seems this GPU is going to be needed for these games.

[@GGigabiteM]

The GPU is a custom part that has the Northbridge and GPU in one. No other part would work. Even if you could manage it with an Nvidia MCP from back then, there's nothing else with that much of a better GPU core.

[@chasefournier]

Completely off topic. But i was sitting there thinking. Could a cfw ps3 or rgh 360 mine some crypto 🤔🤣

[@ConsoleKingRepair]

@@chasefournier that would make a good video🤣

I've had one of these consoles, and a standard OG Xbox untouched. Both have the same loading times, 1080i games on component Vs hdmi the same ect. I fail to see the point of all this work. The games, are programmed to use only what the retail OG Xbox was back in the day. 64MB ram 733mhz Pentium 3 copper mine 8GB drive cache ect. You show it a 1.4ghz CPU nothing new happens
