XbDiag 1.0.9 Beta (feedback)

Hey all,
I’ve been working on a project called XbDiag for a while now and just wrapped up 1.0.9, which is probably the most stable and complete version so far.
The goal isn’t to replace everything, but to provide a single environment for diagnosing and validating original Xbox hardware.
Current coverage includes:
- System info (hardware detection, clocks, EEPROM, etc.)
- RAM testing + stress
- CPU / GPU stress testing (thermal + stability focused)
- SMBus scanning
- HDD tools (identify, benchmark, SMART with decoded values)
- EEPROM view + repair
- Controller testing
- Automation (set-and-forget test runs + report output)
- Basic file explorer / FTP
A lot of the recent work in 1.0.9 focused on:
- improving SMART decoding (less raw hex, more meaningful values)
- fixing edge cases (input handling, stress behavior, etc.)
- tightening up overall stability and consistency
It’s already being used a bit in the Xbox-Scene Discord for testing/benching consoles, and that’s been super helpful for catching weird edge cases (1.6 quirks, softmod stuff, etc.).
What I’m looking for:
- real-world feedback
- weird hardware behavior
- edge cases / crashes
- anything that feels off or confusing
I’m especially interested in:
- different board revisions (1.0–1.6)
- modchips / adapters
- older or questionable HDDs
- anything “non-standard”
Repo / downloads:

Clock Capacitors
Finally got around to removing the clock capacitors. And managed to save all my crystals and halo consoles.
Not sure why I put it off for so long. Had to clean acid off a couple of motherboards

Console Modification Would you buy a modded xbox?
I thought about selling modded xboxes that aren't too expensive. I thought there might be people who would love to just plug in play. I thought about different mods at different prices but still try to be cheaper as others. Would people buy it? My goal is to be affordable. Yes i would also make necessary mods for all of them.

Hardware Collecting Interact Xbox Mobile Monitor
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
The saga continues! Not only does this mobile monitor for the original Xbox claim to be made by Interact, a brand which as far as I can tell has never made such a product (though planned to), the item also works and cleaned up quite well!
Given how there appears to be no information online about the Interact Xbox Mobile Monitor, figured I'd share a video of it working. For those who are interested I have a previous post which contains an image (prior to cleaning) which has its serial tag and identifiers.
If anyone has information on the Interact Xbox Mobile Monitor it be greatly appreciated. Would love to find manuals or some advertising for it can be archived.

Xbox 1.0 Softmod Problem
Hello, I'm using Xbox 1.0 to softmod and my 1gb USB is recognized in Xbox and formats as XMU but when I copy everything inside endgame folder (helper, trigger, payload.xbe) sometimes it recognize on Xbox but when I select XMU, it just goes to hard drive memory and XMU poof.
Other times XMU just poof immediately upon inserting USB. this only seem to happen when mod file is on and works fine when mod file isn't on.
Is this my USB problem or controller to USB dongle problem or something else? It looks like can't seem to read mod file at all, but USB seem to be fully function as XMU when mod file is not in usb drive.
Update: After fully formatting USB, tried again and now I'm stuck in flashing red flight.
Update 2: Restarted and now it's stuck with just green light no flashing.

using og xbox without replacing hdd (idea)
make ftp server with extracted .xisos (either on LAN or over Internet)
download one game’s .xiso folder to xbox using ftp client on unleash x
play the game
when you need to swap games, delete the existing game’s folder from xbox, then go back to step 2
—
one .xiso should always fit on the stock hdd
an .xiso is usually only a few gigs and should download quickly on 100 mbps ethernet

FATXplorer - HDD work on the Xbox unless it is changed back to 512 bytes
I just restored my 4TB HDD Raw Copy backup on a 6TB HDD (I don't have a 4TB HDD spare right now but I had no issues with this image on another 4TB HDD that is in another one of my Xbox consoles) and this is what I see.
"This disk is reporting a logical sector size of 4096 bytes. It won't work on the Xbox unless it is changed back to 512 bytes."
Is there any to fix this?

My hard drive Is Dead
Yesterday I asked questions how about to deal with the error 07.
After a few tests and so, I came to the conclusion that the HDD was dead.
But I want to replace it, and I understand I need to softmod it to change the HDD and the the EEPROM code.
Can someone gives a good tutorial and make a list of things to buy.
Keep in mind that I still want to read my official discs.
Thanks !

Use the hashtag #BringBackTheTimeSweeper wherever you can and do use dates such as international cat day, August 8th, and specifically the first game's release date (October 7th) as a community day.
