The RGB Kit comes with a voltage regulator board, is it still required if you use the Power Module mod?
@@timothy4179 as long as the voltages are correct you can use the power mod just check them first 👍
Hi, appreciate the video... Do you have any SDK dev documentation/information on the triple monitor features such as used in Forza Motorsport 3 and 4 - I would really like to read up on the feature for development. Cheers 🍻
are you sure that 360 isnt playing retail games because the dvd drive was replaced? or is that just a dev kit thing? usually games are detected as DVDs and only show that message when the dvd drive was improperly replaced but unsure if that same thing happens on dev kits.
I love original hardware. With that said, I like the high-end “all in one” carts with all the games for the original hardware. I just got a Saturn and bought a Saroo that has 250 games on it. I would go broke trying to track down Saturn games. Not to mention disk rot on old disk being an eventual reality
@@LordVader.66 I feel exactly the same on all your points 👍
Does the xbox 360 need to be modded to add an ssd hard drive?
Yes at this time it needs to be RGH modded
I'm gonna get one soon. Does the SD Loader works with CHD roms as well ?
From my experience a lot did not work or had issues with sound I just googled bro geo sd loader rom set its that easy Well worth it 👍
these are super dope love them. was wondering if you noticed any performance upgrades while playing on it or is it just like playing on a standard PS3?
@@cameronn just played as normal to me with the settings set to retail but you can change stuff slightly The main purpose was run a game code and you could snoop on the game data and render pipelines in real time very cool 👍
Hello, nice video. I got a question maybe this message will never reach to you. I manage to get one developer unit for the DS but im trying to find the software to use it and the driver, so the windows know the system when connected to the usb. can you guide me to the place to find it. Thanks
I will try and find it for you
how long does the battery last? great video, keep it up.
@@bremhert2156 about a week fully charged with a lot of use 👍
Just like you I have the PAL Wii with RGB out of the box. I was thinking about doing the mod but eventually I decided against doing the mod. Not only do I not have a compatible Wii model but comparisons show that there are only little differences between RGB and HDMI on the Wii. I have a TV with RGB component and SCART output and I have an upscaler for my retro consoles, so I will be good. 🙂
@@forestmanzpedia with your setup it would not be worth it, I just though it would future proof mine and easy to setup if I need to swop to a more modern TV Cheers 👍
off topic but id be interested in a video on replacing the joystick modules on a Xbox elite series one controller with hall effect modules
The pipeline monitoring is impressive. Damn. Enables you to really tinker with the functions you write and optimize them to the limit
Where did you get the Almanac and firmware files from?
Firmware - gdemu.wordpress.com/firmware/updating-docbrown/
@@TheVetUk ok perfect. Thank you🙂
Love that Lotus Trilogy got released all in one. Great way to play it.
This is funny, I used to repair one of these about ten years ago, and it was the same skc-1000C model with the large single board, and I also have the same Panasonic Viera TV wall mounted. By the way, the CD drive is most likely not dead, it just needs the laser pot turned up a bit. Mine couldn't read the discs either, but I could just move the drive into a normal Saturn, then calibrate the pots until it could read CDs fine.
They are mega bits of kit and a beast set up I will try and adjust the laser and see what happens cheers
@@TheVetUk no kidding, it took me an entire weekend to take it all apart, clean it, and put it back together.
@@zyrobs power supply was a bit weird but the rest was as I expected I think mine came from a restaurant as it was a bit greasy
@@TheVetUk That's lucky, mine had the cooling fan full of nicotine residue.
For the arcade games like Star Wars with the Pitrex, you can plug a controller into port 2, and if you press button 2 on that controller you can adjust settings like making it display horizontal and then also adjusting the screen size so you can make it full screen! Also you gotta check out UV overlays if you haven't seen them already! Nice video! I love the Vectrex!!
Hi It’s a great machine I have had for many many years the Pitrex has given it a new lease of life and to try Star Wars on it for the first time was mega I will check out them setting’s cheers
Great video, keep up the good work
Thanks, will do!
thats pretty neat
Amazing to see this Vet. I think I never seen anything like this before. What a fun upload to see from you bro. 8^) Anthony..
@@Charlie-Cat. Hi ya mate Hope your doing ok 👍
Very cool! Thanks for sharing such a unique piece of gaming history.
Extremely cool and interesting video! I've learned so much from it about the PS2 dev kits. I was wondering, would it be possible to dump the BIOS/ROM? If so, I'd really appreciate any insights you could share. Thanks again for this awesome content!
DTL-T models have flashable rom. so nothing to dump really. the images to flash usually came with the sony SDK. and were written to the console flash memory via one of the DSNET tools
Cool
Could you do a follow up, talking a bit about the keyboard? Those are as valuable to custom keyboard community as the machine is to Retro fans.
@@K4sk4d3 I was thinking of a follow up as I mow have the monitor so it’s complete 👍
Might we know what games don’t work on the saroo? You only showed working games. Is it a large chunk? Any heavy hitter games that would suck to not have access to?
Hi this is the current list of compatible games github.com/tpunix/SAROO/issues/80
Most of the big hitters are fine it mostly seems to be homebrew stuff that has issues
@@TheVetUk thank you!
Can I do this on a unmodded xbox 360e?
@@itsmegareth9663 this does not work on retail units 👍
@@TheVetUk OK, thank you for replying.
You can either buy an official component cable for the Digital out to get 480p in games and movies or buy an good HDMI adapter like Prism HDMI
Question could you upgrade a retail hdd. Without using the software to clone the original drive? I have a 250gb drive and was thinking of using a 512gb ssd that i have lying around. Would this work thanks
@@NitrousXProductions this would not work on a retail console only RGH Microsoft locked the hard drive down, so retail drive if it’s retail and up to 16TB SSD if it’s RGH
Very useful. Thank you.
Hi good friend, do you know if the motherboard has a built-in voltage regulator that lowers from 4.2v to 3.3v? Or does it have it in the same battery that is plugged in from behind?
Are you talking about the original board in the battery or the new controller board I added
@@TheVetUk matrix v2 is the last mainboard controller xbox360?
This is amazing stuff - I had seen many large channels cover the other dev kits, like PS1 Net Yaroze, Nintendo DS, PS3 and others, but none has seemed to make a video about the PS2 dev kits which I found quite strange; so glad you made this video - I'm sure some larger channels might reach out like Linus Tech Tips, Modern Vintage Gamer, or others, and ask to borrow it for a video, haha! I'm sure you'd decline; or maybe they have reached out already. Subscribed!
Can you do Xbox 360 xdk video with more detail
Hi, can you just use Aomei partion manager and just clone the rgh hdd to a larger hdd? Then plug it back into your rgh xbox 360, as the key will already be installed
It sounds like it would work but I have not used that software you could try fatxplorer as that’s made for the job
Hey, great video. I have an unreleased beta build of Far Cry 3 that I really want to play, but it requires a Jtag/ RGH version of the console. Can this XDK be used instead to run them on my console?
I think it depends on the build you have and if it’s decrypted but usually something is wrong and I crashes so may need a lot of work to get it to run properly you would have to try and see
You sodered the audio connection the wrong way. when you look at the board and the jamma connector is at the bottom the black audio wire should be on the right and the red on the left. you should test you sound, you probably have left and right switched.
I’ll have to check I might have corrected it off screen but I can not remember 👍
@@TheVetUk no worries, just popped right for me. pin 1 is left and pin 4 is right audio.
Hi, is the course material available anywhere to use to learn with? Thanks
I only have the notes and some stuff from Nottingham college
@@TheVetUkwould we be able to get them scanned at all?
@@winterlakehdm I’ll dig them out and get them scanned 👍
thanks for the video.. I definitely need to work on mine its been in the closet for the past few years.. I want to do what you did but im still learning so i been using other stuff to learn on
is 1tb that max you can do?
No you can go higher up to 48TB with RGH and a XL patch
@@TheVetUk okay what if you don't have a RGH or modded one.
@@demonprincess5634 then you can only use retail drives signed from Microsoft up to 500gb
@@demonprincess5634 or use an external drive but they are slow due to usb speeds

Awesome*
With the Satiator installed, can the 4in1 rem cart still work?
The 4 in 1 does not work I think because of the boot process in the menu Action Replay tools, for backing up and flashing AR-type cartridges but that’s it 👍
Very tempted. Also been on my radar for years. Glad to hear you got yours quick as reading horror stories of people waiting years for pre orders put me off. Yes i have PC etc, but for a busy parent such as myself, this is such a quick, easy solution to my needs. As you say, i do hope it matures as a system with Atari backing. Might finally make the leap later this year after a bit of saving. Not looking forward to those UK import fees tho 😮
It’s such a shame how they sold this so many people feel the same and put off but it does do what it says on the box and in a good way just a shame about the price and then a final kick in the soft bits for the import duty but overall I am pleased Hope you get one soon 👍
So if i have a 128GB SSD and a HDD/SSD case from amazon for the 360 Slim and slide it in the xbox will it work it is unmodded and i do not want to mod it is it posibble and if so what are the limitations (if there are any)
SSD will not work on a none modded box yet SSD’s are overkill due to bandwidth limitations in the Xbox but that’s all you can really get that’s reliable cheap You can get a 500gb retail drive as Microsoft sold that and pop that in
At 4:46 you literally " so far i havnt seen anything horrible from the emulation side of it" lol are we looking at the same version of metal slug there on the screen as you say that???
I’ve never truly been impressed with emulation I always want original with and ODE if needed so for emulation it’s not that bad my expectations are not that high But I get what your pointing out 👍
Interesting seeing what's inside a PS2 TOOL dev system. I was always curious after seeing them at Hothouse Creations in Bristol, 2006, just before the company closed down.
It’s such a cool system I would have loved to be a fly on the wall back in the day 👍
Its hilarious how full circle we went, from homebrews and bootlegs, famiclones or in general home machines, mods etc all costing peanuts now the same somehow is treated as a high end device costing a small fortune. I could easily bet I seen this name before, the Polymega being a typical famiclone of sorts also one of those HDMI sticks that run emulators somehow years later of that this have the same name XD So if people want to avoid those easily will pass upon this thinking its the same thing XD
I just not see the point of these when you have either a PC or Android phone. Both are very capable of emulation and emulators are very simple to confugure. If you desperately want an all in one solution, retroarch and a cheap PC will be fine for anything.
@@DoctorEviloply so true I have tried them all and they all do a good job, I can not explain why I wanted to try this I just did I don’t regret the purchase it’s very simple to use but that price stings
Can I format the hard drive in one RGH Xbox and then put it in another? Or will it be "married" to the first console's serial number and therefore not work on a second console?
@@industriastroll3177 that’s a great question I have swopped drives between machines and it’s been ok but they were retail never done it in a RGH I would have to try it
You only need a serial number to format the drive. Swapping drives around should work fine between RGH consoles
Is this PAL version region free? And will it work on Japanese CRT? Or just on PAL TVs?
@@blueebon03blue it outputs like a normal ps1, composite or scart The Yaroze is region-free. It has both PAL and NTSC reference oscillators.
Oh wow! So glad you have one in your collection Vet. I looks so cool bro. 8^) Anthony..
@@Charlie-Cat.Hi Anthony A strange purchase for me I just wanted to try one and it works ok just a shame about the Roms but I get that’s the way they wanted to play it Hope your ok 👍 Happy gaming
So if i have a retail unit with a 250 GB drive now and just want to increase storage and clone this to larger drive, is fatxplorer the best method? Do you have to mess with the partitions or is that just an option?
@@Chagrin223 if it’s retail you would have to use a clone method with a western digital HDD and it’s a pain to do better off getting it RGH modded it’s so much better
@@Chagrin223 fatxplorer is ok if you want to back up your drive or mod a modded drive
@@Chagrin223 you could use external but it’s slow and not great for games
@@Chagrin223 you can get a 500gb drive as Microsoft did a retail one
@@TheVetUk so if I upgrade to the 500gb Microsoft unit, it would come with data transfer cable I'm guessing? I'm just trying not to lose anything I already have saved.
