hi Zehn,
The picture show a Aladdin XT lite, aka Aladdin 4032
This is a newer version with pinheader socket.
You can flash it with Xecuter 4983.06 bios which supports >120GB
Recommended that u flash with Eurasia Pro Generic Flash Disc, add the following line in raincoat.cfg
flash = 0xbf52,"SST SST49LF020A",0x40000;
and your're good to go
Hope this helps

mechman,
funny thing is when i tried the method u proposed, i m getting the error msg:
Unknown device read only??? manf=0xFF dev=0xFF
Try adding device ID to raincoat.cfg
what is wrong with this? I read on some forum that my chip could be write protected. I tried to press the power button for 5 secs, still no use. Any idea?

Hi, Did u edit and add in the following line in raincoat.cfg? flash = 0xbf52,"SST SST49LF020A",0x40000; The builtin flash type supported is SST49LF020 and not the SST49LF020A, so the flashing program cannot flash it. yes, X2 bios can be used. Size of the bios is 256Kb. let me know  mechman, funny thing is when i tried the method u proposed, i m getting the error msg: Unknown device read only??? manf=0xFF dev=0xFF Try adding device ID to raincoat.cfg what is wrong with this?

Hi Tommy, The v1.6b requires the bios to be M8+ so that ram timings are supported. If u use the standard M8 bios your set will crash or become unstable after a short while The modchip should support your set with LPC rebuild. i.e the game manages to play you can try to flash your modchip with the M8+ bios using Eurasia Pro, but recommend u use another Xbox set to do it because your set may hang halfway and corrupt the bios hope this helps hey ive got the same chip as u m8 ....but i have a problem it causes the backups ie, the game just freezes. crash all the time i dont know what to do.next i dont have a flash programer can i make a bios disc so i can flash it myself please help i have had a look at the chip i dont even know if supports my xbox my xbox is the crystal ver 1.6 b |

I got that statement in the bios CD. But still no use, still getting the same error msg. Any way to find the right hardware/devide ID? zehn Hi, Did u edit and add in the following line in raincoat.cfg? flash = 0xbf52,"SST SST49LF020A",0x40000; The builtin flash type supported is SST49LF020 and not the SST49LF020A, so the flashing program cannot flash it. yes, X2 bios can be used.

If Eurasia gives u the following code manf=0xFF dev=0xFF try this instead flash = 0xdab0 "SST SST49LF020A",0x40000; There is actually a "clone" of the real SST 49LF020A from Winbond with falsh ID of "0xdab0". Original SST 49LF020A has flash ID of "0xbf52" I do have preprogrammed bios chips that u can just plug in, just email me for details  Another last try is to use Xflash, a Xbox app downloadable from Xbins good luck!

hi, I believe it's the DVD drive that is not able to read the disks properly and not the bios in your case. Transfer your game direct into your HDD to try, it should be able to launch and play properly without hanging with your existing bios Why not try another brand of dvd media? Take a read on the Xbox-Scene forums here on the various media suitable for the Philips drive forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?s=c2aa84af9ff7434d6e1ef5e805f7d31e&showforum=11cheers where do i get the Eurasia Pro from as i dont have programmer how would i go about making a flsh disc for it see i got it chipped at a shop i taken it back on saturday yesterday the guy said its was my discs and he could not find a fault with it . i was using wich where bulkpaq 4x orange top but all the games crash on it ...i thought it might be the dvd philips drive this is my m8s xbox and hes going off his head i fell really bad about everything ive got old back one with exuter 2.6 and samsung drive ver 1.4 works great no problems and it reads all bulkpaq 4x 8x tommy |
