I don't even own the original xbox. Why the heck m watching this @3:30 am
-
Came by this video randomly, would’ve liked to have seen a before and after performance wise, or a side by side to show the differences / benefits of upgrading the CPU
-
man youtube needs to recommend me more of this, just a beat up old console, soldering station in the background and something hacky going on. thanks it was a really enjoyable video!
-
I have one of these made by N64Freak in Germany years back. It has the extra ram also. I have a Joshua Lineberry loaded 2TB drive on it. It's been sitting for some time but that thing is awesome! Mine has a switch to drop the processor speed so some games won't go stupid fast.

Biggest difference is full open source design of course, instead of just gerbers :P
-
Very much enjoyed .Thanks for the vid .BTW the music was chill AF.
-
Incredible work and presentation man, Great stuff!
-
Little idea: tape the interposer down in case you bump it before you add those extra resistors to hold it in place. If its Kapton tape, you can leave it there for the rest of the 1st interposer process, otherwise remove it after the resistors are in place.

Too bad a socket probably wouldn't have enough strain relief without some through hole mounts. Seems like if you're going to raise the profile, anyway, why not add a socket?

Real happy to see these type of videos. Original Xbox is my all time favorite. Mine was hacked, could hack others. Had cables sticking out the side. Colored lights everywhere. Usb ports I had to install. I called it frankenbox. Loved loved loved it

When I look at your skills. For some time I have been watching several students from the technical university in Brno in the Czech Republic on YouTube. One of the points of their study was the complete design of their own simple computer as well as programming of their own firmware in the C language. And just once I was talking about KiCad. That it is a good alternative to the licensed Autodesk Eagle, which has some unresolved bugs for a long time. I sure enjoyed watching your video 👍

Nice work Shawn!
-
I never knew you could upgrade the processer...nice 👍
-
Fantastic job. !!! ❤😊 keep up the amazing work. 👏
-
The 2 layers of interposers is something I wouldn't have thought of. I wonder if the 2nd interposer could be replaced with a pga socket.

One of my regrets from my old job was not getting the matched 1.4ghz P3 cpus I had in an old server. I think it started life as a P3-500 and then to dual 1ghz, and finally to dual 1.4ghz towards the end of it's life to stretch out another year.

18 minute video. (Doesn't show gameplay.)😑
-
I’d love to get one of these done, how much does it cost?
-
good job Shawn <3
-
FINALLY the RIGHT Xbox.... 🤪Great job dude!
