Re: I just bought an oXbox for the first time (sorta)

I was able to get it to play an XVM video file as the boot animation, but I'll still have to mess with it. For starters, while it works and looks OK, I can see compression artifacts. It's just not nearly as crisp as the real animation looks. But I realized that I'm using outdated files, so I will ha...

Re: I just bought an oXbox for the first time (sorta)

Love the original Flubber animation too. I believe the stock animation is 480i vs 480p though, right? I seem to remember it not playing nice with scalers and some HD sets. Is it 480i? The RetroTINK 5X (which is what I'm using these days) does a good job switching between resolutions. On my softmodd...

Re: I just bought an oXbox for the first time (sorta)

I decided to mess around with different installer discs and other things. I'm just trying to decide which BIOS and dashboard I want before I go ahead and put a new HDD in there. With the mod chip installed, you cannot flash the TSOP in the Xbox. So what I might end up doing is restoring the HDD to f...

Re: I just bought an oXbox for the first time (sorta)

https://i.imgur.com/rbPDb3E.jpeg I installed the mod chip in my 1.0 Xbox yesterday. After fiddling with it and learning more, I think the mod chip is really unnecessary unless you have a 1.6 revision console. So the Xbox has a TSOP chip which stores the BIOS (hence why people say "TSOP modded&...

Looking good! I really missed not being able to navigate back to the main site from the forum.

I'm still digging Milk though because of the font size.

Re: What are you playing?

I’m not as into it as I’d like, but this has happened to me with better games, too. It’s about timing. If the game slows down and my life happens to change a little around that time I can just get derailed. That's actually a big problem with me, and why I play so little RPGs. If I know I can't dedi...

Re: Castlevania Appreciation Thread

Yeah, I legit don't remember other anime cutscenes from Rondo but most of my experience with Rondo has been the PSP version (and now the PS4 port of said version). So it makes since I don't remember other scenes if they exist in the original. I know I've played some of the original Rondo on an emul...
