I just a tested a 1.1/conexant box and I am getting the same red screen issues (with the old patch).I would test your newer patch but I can't seem to access it.I figure its either server problems or DNS issues on my end

Okay, I managed to get hold of the latest patch.Enabling VIDEO_FORCE_RGB results in a hang at the end of the flubber loading sequence just after the "M$" logo appears at the bottom.However, there were no flashing leds or black screens.This is a V1.1 PAL Australian box.

I would like to use this mod but I do not have a softmoded box. Is it possible to run patched nkpatcer10.xbe on a hardmoded box and have it work or do I need to install a softmod first before I can run it?

NKpatcher doesn't like non-retail kernels. So a hacked BIOS doesn't work most of the time. If you have an older box (1.0/1.1) you might be able to find a bios that boots only habibi signed code (that would be the same effect as a font exploit, but without the exploit).

By "hardmodded" do you mean, a modchip or a flashed tsop?
If its a modchip, (and assuming your original bios is working), all you have to do is dump the exploit files on your HDD via ftp or any method you like, lock your hdd and then boot with the chip off.For the exploit just get hold of uxe-complete from the usual places, and follow the instructions while ignoring the parts that reference hotswapping, gamesave exploits etc.Took only a couple minutes to get working on my V1.1 box.Also if you have a multi-bank chip, you could flash one of the other banks with a retail bios and then follow then same process.

thanks alot

Hey Dr/ oldschool

I have a 1.1 xbox and am getting that red screen. I am willing to work with you testing to see if we can fix this. Although I have no idea how to fix it, I will test out everything you send. and get back to you.

PM me..

I tried your latest vesion 7, and that froze the xbox. It did not boot.
PM me.

) but how do you apply the .diff patch? I am using a V1.0 xbox so there is the red issue, I'll tell you how it works out (as soon as I can figure out how to apply the patch

) Sorry for being a N00B

cyberg4 · « **Reply #98 on:** November 14, 2005, 01:18:00 PM »

Anyone?
I've got
V1.0 softmodded with the Uber Dashboard Exploit (Splinter Cell)
UnleashX as default dash (problem still exists with all other dashboards)
160 GB Western digital hard drive (locked)

The blacks on the screen are pure red when i use nkpatcher10+ (uses version 6).
I want to Use version 7 but can't figure out how to apply the patch (I've searched for 10+ hours on this forum, google and several other search engines and dowloaded 25+ programs that compare files and output .diff files but can't figure out how use the nkpatcher10-vga7.diff patch)
Please reply.
Thanks dr oldschool for this patch. (just need to figure out how to apply it).

Can't you read? V1.0 is not supported. Unless you want to fix the crash that happens with unfinished version 7.
How to apply a patch file is discussed in this topic and also http://www.google.com/search?q=applying+patch+file.
Just don't come here screaming your Xbox has crashed after figuring how to compile and running version 7 of vga patch.

I was wondering if it worked with previous version of nkpatcher-vga.
It was never officialy supported, but if it worked before I can make it work again. Otherwise I see no reason to patch kernel if detected cable is not supported. For example if you connect RGB SCART or composite cable you wouldn't want VGA patching to happen. With VGA cable (mode 1+3) you might want vga patching to happen, but then again if it doesn't work properly what's the use?

I'd like to throw my 2 cents into this 4 month old post.

You state that if one connects and RGB SCART cable, they wouldn't want VGA patching to happen.

I disagree.

i have imported an RGB SCART/SVideo cable from the UK to aid in hacking my monitor, a Mitsubishi MegaView Pro 37, model XC-3730c. This monitor was made in 1996 and can handle several modes, including native composite via RCA, SVideo, and VGA RGB thru BNC, as well as a propritory d-sub 15 low connector.

I bought this monitor because it handles 15khz horizontal, suitable for RGB mods on most systems to obtain the best picture (primarily Saturn)....however, i want the best picture i can get from ALL of my systems, and the XBOX is my current media player and main time waster at the moment.

My goal was to create a single cable setup to allow use of both RGB analog and VGA progressive modes for the xbox, without having to change the cable at the monitor or xbox end.

since the exact same cable will be in place at all times, i'd REALLY like the ability to choose which mode the box runs in....most of the time, in progressive VGA, the rest of the time in RGB (for games that do not work no matter what).

now, please let me know if i'm on crack with this idea....reading about the pinouts of the xbox A/V port, i think i may be smoking something, but i'd like confirmation before i go headlong into this project...either way, i think it would be better suited to allow a choice via a menu or something, rather than having an automatic based on cable type.

just my $0.02

n00bs would end up with a nice fuzzy green screen and no way to control there xbox but via gamesave exploit.
In other words: a warning is worth more then a thousand rants.

I have a v1.0 Xbox with Conexant video encoder chip. I just made the VGA out cable today. Blacks are indeed showing as red. I heard dr oldschool released a patch, but it's freezing/locking up xboxes? I applied my VGA patch (version 6) using Krayzie's NDURE installer right in the extras menu, so I have never messed around with NKPatcher. dr oldschool said he doubts he will be able to fix this issue, but I believe in him. He's gotten this far, it seems like he could get Conexant working for v1.0 owner's sake. I was so excited when I got my lm1881n in the mail today. I had no idea that Conexant wasn't supported by dr oldschool's patch. I would test this, but it looks like many people have already and it locks up on them. Maybe somebody who lives near dr oldschool could let him borrow their xbox for testing purposes. So, dr oldschool, where do you live? Maybe we can talk somebody here into a REAL test.

Textbook · « **Reply #103 on:** January 12, 2006, 12:03:00 AM »

Even if we can't get dr oldschool's patch working correctly, we should still try to figure out a solution to this problem. It seems like we could use a BIOS Loader like PBL , FBL, or PBL-Lite to launch the BFM Ind-BIOS 5001 VGA edited by junkmonkey. This BIOS works with the Conexant video encoder, so it would solve all conexant red issues. Good thing junkmonkey decided to make a BFM bios as well. I'm not sure on how to use a BIOS Loader, so if somebody knows how to use a BIOS loader on a softmod and is able to load that specific BIOS, please explain how and I will test it.

Either way, we're going to get VGA support for Conexants with a softmod. I have a chip, but prefer softmod because of my dual hard drive setup.

kingroach · « **Reply #104 on:** January 12, 2006, 07:54:00 AM »

rename the bios to boot.bin.. get PBL-Lite and place boot.bin or bios.bin whichever are specifies in the .cfg file along with PBL's .xbe. now replace your nkpatcher with PBL.. three files are requires:

pbl's .xbe
config.xfg
bios.bin/boot.bin.
