@jery911 Thanks! Hey, what's with the TX forums?? I've been trying to register there in case I have questions, but it's always "the server's too busy, blah blah blah..."
Anyway, received the Postfix adapter today so I installed the DGX / RGX and Postfix...
Here's where I got ahead of myself a little -- I had seen a video where someone used a DGX and had Xell up through HDMI and I assumed it had been converted to an RGX device. So I loaded up JRunner, wrote the RGX files and the ECC to the Demon Nand, and tried to boot to Xell. I could tell the console was glitching, but no video...Well, of course, the HDMI out only works with the DGX and there's no going back once you convert. Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal because you could just get the CPU key via the Ethernet scan, but I've already removed all of that stuff!
So after some research, I'm realizing that I kind of backed myself into a corner and my only real option is a COM monitor cable. And since I don't have a NAND-X USB cable, I did the next best thing I could -- make my own. It just so happens that for one of my BMW iBus hacking projects, I used a board to monitor the bus which translates from the bus itself to serial and then to USB. Perfect -- a bit more soldering and I had a working RS232 interface.
So now the console has been successfully RGH'd. It's booting in anywhere from 5-10 resets which is ok, but I'm going to see if I can tune it a little and speed it up a bit. I'm all ears if anyone has a suggestion on the best way to start.
Next I'm going to try soldering up the internal memory mod to add a 500GB HD for the RGH side only. From what I understand, because it's a non-4GB console, the HD will only show up on the glitch side which should help to keep things separate... Also going to rewire the Wi-Fi card and figure out the antenna situation -- this card is a little different than the last one I did.
