At My Wits End!
« on: January 18, 2004, 07:52:00 PM »

Hello,

Like A LOT of other people, I foolishly changed the video settings in XBMP 2.4 from NTSC-M to NTSC-J. I'm not sure what the difference between them is, but I do know my XBOX is screwed! I do not get any video output, and unlike most people with my problem, I do not get audio output either.

I have burned Enigmah Video Select v2 in an attempt to fix my XBOX using 3 different Maxwell CD-RWs, a Sony DVD-RW, a no-name DVD+RW, and a Ritek DVD-R.  None of these have successfully booted.

When I try to boot with a disk in and X2_4977 enabled, the disk drive will spin for a couple seconds, and then my BIOS will load (fan speed increases to 40%), and my hard drive churns (hdd activity light pulsates).

When I boot with Flash BIOS, it seems to work although the screen flcikers. The hard drive doesn't go crazy and the DVD drive pops open as expected.

When I boot with the modchip disabled, the eject light flashes red & green as if it is fragging.

Does anyone have any suggestions?? I'm at my wits end. And please don't tell me to read the forums, because I have read posts for the past two days on both X-S and xboxmediaplayer.de.


P.S FTP wouldn't help either as it is not functioning.

Hey! I figured it out at about 3am this morning. I was trying to use the Video Select boot disc without any success. I finally read somewhere that X2_4977 has a bug in it that won't allow it to boot DVDs when the video output eeprom is messed up. Luckily I had FlashBIOS on my second bank. I simply burned a BIOS CD with evox bios on it, flashed and replaced x2_4977, and booted the select video disc.

If you have x2_4977, you're going to need to reflash and boot up to an enigmah Video Select v2 boot disc.

The dvs over at XBMP really should implement some sort of dialogue box or something to warn you that changing the settings could really fuck up your box!
