@@tezcanaslan2877Really? Considering that the last two console generations from Sony and Microsoft have been x86 AMD SoCs, albeit with unified bespoke memory, I wouldn't be too off to call anything not made by Nintendo since 2013 a PC. There are even videos where there's cut-down Xbox One SoCs on actual ATX motherboards. But the OG Xbox really stands out in that era for being a glorified off the shelf PC in a world of custom silicon.
Awesome that someone actually did the socket 370 mod instead of directly soldering the CPU to the board. Tbh this is a much better mod than the latter because these CPUs aren't being made anymore, and I don't really like when parts that aren't in production anymore get irreversible modifications. ESPECIALLY the 1.4 GHz CPUs.
Awesome, you did it, so cool to see that its working so perfect. Nice that you showed my comment 😅 For myself i created an Adapter for the CPU cooler to not install it on the Socket 370, to avoid to much force to the pins of the socket of the interposer when you remove or install the cooler. For an Adapter you can use the original holes on the Mainboard of the Xbox :)
With these mods Windows 98 and Windows XP is a must. There should be a way to run those operating systems. A custom bios would be nice too to take full advantage of these mods with Xbox's UI.
You can't do it without drivers, and 256 isn't a good amount for XP. Maybe you can run DOS box, or Linux, but not Windows. Also, even Linux has moved past being usable with low RAM. The Xbox is a console, not a PC, and must be treated as such. If you want a Pentium 3 Windows PC, simply buy a real Pentium 3 PC. Or Pentium 4. The best retro system is ultimately the first gen oldest 1.4ghz Pentium 4 with single channel SDRAM, and pair it with the Nvidia FX 5200 MX just like everyone did in the old days, and pretend your absolute potato dumpster fire is actually usable, everyone knows brand name stickers add horsepower to 4 cylinder beaters with cherry bomb exhaust. Totally better than any Athlon and Radeon 9800. PS, if you think I'm kidding, this behavior has persisted into melting Intel CPUs and 8gb VRAM Nvidia cards, and those people still think it was a good decision, plus are now the majority. Anyway, don't bother installing windows, because even if it worked, it wouldn't be a good experience. My 2c.

These consoles are troopers! I have a crystal one, combined with a crt and a huge hard drive, it's an amazing box!

Try to add a PCI connection to allow expansion cards like wifi. (Which would also require drivers but since its a win 2k based system it may be possible to inject drivers depending on the card)

Installing a socket is a game changer because you can buy cheaper 370 tualatin processors to begin like Celerons tualatins (way cheaper and almost same performance) that had same performance as P3 because they had not restrited cache, or like the 1.26ghz pentium3 that is cheaper than the 1.4ghz and then someday change to 1.4-1.5 Got my 1.3ghz 370 tualatin Celeron for 30 bucks... when the 1.48ghz costs 200$... but im stuck with the interposer install, can you reball mine? 😅
Great video 👍 If you want a bit of a challenge then i have a few suggestions There is, for example, the portable wii (G-Boy) Kits are not in stock (as far as I know) But as far as I know it is an open source project You could also try a zero fuse and jtag 360 mod You could also install a modchip in a ps2, even Voultar says it's mega demanding in terms of solder skills But what I personally most want to see Is an upgrade of the wii nand I don't even know if that's possible But in theory it should be simple, softmod then backup and then use a nand flasher to recreate that on a chip with more storage know there are people out there doing it with everything from Wii U to macbooks Dosdude 1 has quite a few videos about it (on macs) You've got a new subscriber Hope to see more from you Sincerely, Tobias
As I said, I don't know if the wii nand upgrade is possible at all. But if no one tries for us, we never get an answer and those nand chips die sooner or later. But if you try, please upload your video whether it succeeds or not. it may be that others can learn something from it even if it fails for you
@@tobiaspedersen5427 Did some research on it, Im not sure what storage I can accomplish currently. Maybe I could do some BGA to 48 TSOP boards and get some real results. The Largest 48s im seeing are 1GB.
My old Xbox is still in my closet. Last time I had it out was AGES ago. Did a modchip on it way back when. Not sure what revision it is... but it would be interesting to see it with max RAM and a faster CPU....
This would be perfect for what I have in mind: a 1.4 ghz original Xbox, stuffed inside a typical black PC case next to an X86 computer running Windows 98 SE. the 100 to 240 volts AC would have to be converted to 12 volts DC then stepped down to 5 volts DC to be powered by a USB battery bank and charged using USB type C.
RAM mod, CPU mods... I am impressed by what is possible with this console. I wonder what's stopping us from porting any PC BIOS to the Xbox, then installing other OS like Windows and turning it into a actual PC... As Wikipedia says "Xbox was built around standard personal computer components"
I just recently saw that 256 RAM mod from Modsville on Macho Nacho and mentioned how I want to see it implemented on a CPU modded system. I want my CPU modded system to get that RAM mod. Or have one of my systems just get this socket mod and the ram.
I feel like the stress of messing with CPUs and adding the heatsink over time might break the solder joints on the long ass legs that connect to the interposer. Something about how the socket is sitting so high on those legs bothers me. I'm sure it works great, but I wonder for how long. It would be a serious pain in the ass to clip them all short and make sure they are perfectly level to make a solid connection, though.
Wish the interposer was thicker and with holes so the pins could actually go into it instead of just sitting on top of it. Just looking at it makes me feel uneasy.
One thing I have always wondered and couldn't find much info about, is what did Intel change about the 733mhz PIII cpu in the OG Xbox and what actually made it different from a stock PIII of similar speed? All I know it is a slight modified PIII, what I would like to know is what did they change about the architecture.
We have a CPU upgrade, RAM upgrade, can that GPU be overclocked as well? (I assume just dropping in another GPU isn't a possibility because of a lack of drivers).
I wonder if its possible to get faster RAM and if the GPU is tied to that RAM speed, if it is technically you would be increasing the GPU performance as well, combine that with the SATA & SSD upgrade, HDMI upgrade, 1.4Ghz CPU upgrade, and custom BIOS and you have an XBOX Ultimate.
Amazing thing o.O just question, that CPU you used is Intel Celeron 1.3 GHz from Tualatin P6 familly right? What would be the best CPU to put into that modded socket? "Intel Celeron 1.5 GHz" or "Intel Pentium III 1.4 GHz" just curious overall :)
Im asking myself if it would be possible to swap the orginal nv2a gpu for the more powerfull nv25. Thez are from the sam gpu series and have the same architecture.
I would like to get an original Xbox, mod it with a stellar mod to a plus HD mod, add 256 megabytes of RAM instead of the standard 64, and I would like this mod as well, and that would become my go to half-life machine, and potentially other emulation machine if the need be.
Love it, would be be cool if someone could get a Pentium m working in an OG, very similar to a Pentium 3 as well as really low tdp and 2ghz would be insane
there is more things i'm curious about Upgrading the ram to 128mbs 300mhz from the 64mb 200mhz, with that 1.6ghz CPU, I'm also curious if there exists any possible GPU upgrade Kinda like the NV28/ geforce4 Ti4600 (Ti4800) curious if it would fit and work, or if the NV2A is the only thing that fuctions (heard somewhere it has a built in north bridge and the NV28 doesn't) and it would probably need a revised bios.....which i don't think is happening if it would even work
do you or someone you know do send-ins? I ordered my own PGA7 370 sockets a while back with the intention to do the same thing. Looks like im too slow HAHA!. You have the better equipment though so Im wondering if I can send in my board, solder balls, ball stencil, interposer, most to all of the diodes the interposer needs, the CPU, and some PGA sockets.
256MB RAM won't really give any performance gains, it'll primarily help out emulators. Game wise not so much as most games on the OG Xbox don't even max out the 128MB mod. Some do, but most don't. The 1.4GHz CPU MOD will give pretty big performance boost in quite a lot of games.
didn't even thought this was possible to add a cpu socket to the OG Xbox, now im curious if their is a way to do add DDR ram socket as well so one can add more ram above he 129mb ram (at least the ones use for laptops since their DDR are smaller in size
@@ConsoleKingRepair Thanks man. Love your videos by the way. You answered my question perfectly, but I have a second. Now I don't know what it is, but my family's old PS3 stopped working years ago, and I tried the heat gun trick. It worked for a bit and then stopped. It has sat for a while.

i wonder if it is possible to do this same surgery for the series x? i know the amount of pins means probably total clusterfuck.
its "possible" but incredibly difficult to pull off.
didn't even thought this was possible to add a cpu socket to the OG Xbox, now im curious if their is a way to do add DDR ram socket as well so one can add more ram above he 129mb ram (at least the ones use for laptops since their DDR are smaller in size
any plans to offer international shipping?
not an xbox, but would you be willing to give a shot at gpu swapping a wii? ive got one that could be worth the attempt if the damage isnt too much
I want to put sockets on PS3 consoles.
Imagine putting a Socket 478 or Socket M onto the thing I wonder how absurd this thing can go.
impossible. socket 478 and socket m cpus use other (newer) chipsets
Can you take a YLOD PS3 and turn it into a Frankie? PAL console UK.
yessir
@@ConsoleKingRepair That's what I wanna do.
Question: how does your Frankie service work?
@@CheeseManMedia. you just send in the console; and I put a 40/65 on it. Let me know if you have anything specific you’d want to know about.
@@ConsoleKingRepair Thanks man. Love your videos by the way. You answered my question perfectly, but I have a second. Now I don't know what it is, but my family's old PS3 stopped working years ago, and I tried the heat gun trick. It worked for a bit and then stopped. It has sat for a while. RIP Felix covered my PS3 Fat model in a video as containing a 65nm RSX already, but it still has the YLOD. Would you be able to diagnose and fix whatever the problem is?
@@CheeseManMedia. Should be able to, if it has the 65nm, its most likely the NECS
Awsome! Will this cost less?
@@CheeseManMedia. yes 👍
