DIY Soldering
Xbox DVT4 and Chihiro projects
Small update on what I do,
Ive been researching some stuff on the Xbox Development systems.
I found multiple versions of a controller chip inside the Xbox and we "the internet" already knew the Chihiro (An Xbox based Sega Arcade system using a GDrom drive as medium) is using a chip of the DVT3 board. Now is it posible to run it on my DVT4? and maybe later on a Retaill xbox?
Also, can we improve or enable the CXBX emulator to run Chihiro games ?
here are some pictures and links. Just to keep my blog a bit fresh :D
Chihiro board as see here ^^

N8VEM Single board computer
N8vem
The N8VEM Single Board Computer (SBC) is a home brew Z80 small computer project. It is made in the style of vintage computers of the mid to late 1970's and early 1980's using a mix of classic and modern technologies.
It is intended to be my teaching in principles of electronic computer design. The N8VEM SBC and related peripherals would be ideal as a school project or could be used to teach basic computer hardware and software principles. i enjoyed already building it and as you can read, im writing bits of pieces about it already.
More information about it can be found here http://n8vem-sbc.pbworks.com
My version runs a bit of custom version of cp-m and Im building a vga controler based on the 16F4550 chip.
Fixed an broken DVD drive
December 2010 I got my second Xbox 360, to Jtag it. But before I was able to Jtag it I did something wrong. You see this picture? its the xbox 360 freshly opened and unmodded. 2 minutes later there was some smoke and smell of burning pcb.
Let me tell you, It was all my own fault. But I learned allot and this story is going to end Good... well Its not over yet. read on after the break.
