OG Xbox Gets A Game-Changing 1.4GHz CPU Upgrade! 

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 not even close xbot

​@@MichaelM28Sonyponies really not sending their brightest, eh?

@@MichaelM28it really is, name one example then. PS3 is trash for modding, Wii isn’t as advanced or powerful, Dreamcast isn’t as good, and many more don’t touch it.

The OG Xbox is like the Dreamcast 1.5, (the Dreamcast had _powered by Microsoft Windows CE_ printed on the case. After it got canceled, where do you think the Sega engineers went? Although the Dreamcast & OG XBOX technically belong to the same console generation. Sega made some serious missteps with the Sega CD & the 32X…the 32X should’ve been released as the stand-alone Sega Neptune, and it should’ve been expandable with the Sega CD to make it compatible with both Sega CD & Saturn games, then the two could’ve coexisted…then the Saturns run would’ve been longer, Electronic Arts wouldn’t have totally cut ties with Sega, and the Dreamcast could’ve been released closer to when the PS2 & XBOX releases & would’ve been more competitive…it came out like 2 years before any of the other consoles of it’s generation, and was canceled before it could be competition against the PS2

@@lect0n7 If Sega just had to come out with an add-on it should been the 32x instead of the CD. Gaming hadn't really got the point where CDs were needed but a 32x in 1992 instead of 1995 could've been awesome.

Your X-Box needs a simple recap! It'll be fine bro, know a tech?

Was really hoping an Xbox classic would come out in 2021, might just have to make a homebrew at this point.

Better cpu, faster memory, smaller, wireless controllers shaped like the originals, HDMI, ssd storage and dlss upscaling. Honestly I think it would outsell the series X

@@edwarddavid7893it definitely wouldn't

@edwarddavid7893 They cannot use DLSS because it has to be implemented in the game code. Without temporal data, there's no way to increase the resolution with real detail, so they'd just have to upscale the image, and then the results would look bad. Unless microsoft will use software emulation to run xbox classic games it will be impossible to increase resolution. I personally do not mind playing at 480p. The thing is, 6'th gen era games (xbox classic / PS2 / GC / DC) were made with low quality assets in mind and increasing resolution only reveals more imperfections (textures no longer look sharp, low poly models and LOD transition is 10x more noticeable ruining the imerssion). At 640x480, even PS2 games have reasonably sharp textures and convincing models, yet alone xbox classic games. But the 480p resolution has to be scaled in a special way to make it look good, because otherwise the image will be extremely ugly (pixelated and blurry) on modern 4K display. On the PC I'm using integer scaling to get perfectly sharp pixels and then I use CRT phosphor mask emulation to remove pixelation. The upscaled image looks so good at 4K that even my real SD CRT has worse image at native 640x480i (standard SD CRT TVs blurred the image way too much, while CRT phosmor mask allows me to emulate PVM / CRT monitor that has way sharper image). Retrotink 4K can upscale 480i/p with equally good results, but the problem is that the original Xbox has a somewhat blurry picture from the component video output, so results arnt nearly as good as even on the PS2. I know there are HDMI mods for the original Xbox, but I'm not willing to take the risk. Xbox emulation on PC is getting better and better, so even if Microsoft doesn't release a modern Xbox classic, it's only a matter of time before every great game from that platform will be playable on PC :).

@@MichaelM28 Rip Felix just done one a few days ago. You should check it out.

Why would they when you said they are a Microsoft channel?

@@mikeuk666 Well, someone ought to. It'd be amazing to see it happening and perhaps going mainstream and retro tech support guys from all over the world could help us have better PS3s.

I got a few overclocked 2501's. Its alot of fun

@@mikeuk666attention seeking kids award 😂😂😂

TronicsFix is available now?

Yes, CPU upgrade is not something new, it's been doing 20 years ago when ogx is current system. But ram upgrade up to 256mb is really new feature and more interesting. Like new mod chips with new bios system.

​​@@_Tualatin_Kinda useless, I mean we could get higher resolutions but the instability is insane, and games weren't meant to use more ram than specified

@@mikestaph it's unstable because it's on very early stage. Mostly mods like this don't have any utilitari sense it's just because you can. May be in future it's can be somehow improve in game by patching. It's interesting because it's new and broke limits.

@@_Tualatin_ I'm looking forward to a new Minecraft port, Xbox is pretty darn good in raw power, with more ram we could get a better build than the one that's on the wii

Nah, it's totally useless

Yes they forgot to link him in this DFClips channel, but not on the video this clip came from on the main Digital Foundry channel.

or an XBOX One

​@@GlassICEwait for the Overclock on the CPU side, and the best Part it's that actually PS4 CPU is an CPU designed to run at 3.2Ghz as you can find it on PC jaguar CPUs with that clock

That’s basically what playing on the ps5 or services X does Obviously you lose out on the period hardware vibe

😂

Eh, I wouldn’t go that far. The best looking PS2 and GameCube games easily stand next to the best of the Xbox regardless of its power advantage. Most things being interlaced on PS2 is definitely an annoying disadvantage though.

​​@@seanmcbayI disagree. Some games looked more like a 360 game than a PS2 game

​@@seanmcbayjust look at splinter cell chaos theory ps2 vs xbox

What a terrible decision you made 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Both made were made of cheap plastic. Nothing about the xbox design more premium than the PS2.

Wii was next gen, fren

How? PS2 has over 4 times as many games 🤨

wii was weaker than Xbox OG​@@bravefastrabbit770

Crud

​@@MichaelM28Who cares about shovelware tho? Also it was a joke, you ppl really ain't very sharp.

Thanks, Paul. The original video is really interesting.

Not true, games like Half-Life 2 gets huge FPS boost from the added performance

It varies. Many games break with CPU upgrade and must be patched (if a patch exists). There's a spreadsheet somewhere that lists it all out.

I feel like I've seen videos of people doing this exact thing.

I think It has 10 years lol😂😂😂

Awesome mod but doesn't improve performance, only reliability

@@MichaelM28 I agree

​@@jakesnow96actually we can Overclock RSX to Twice the Clock which will Make Performance Twice than original.

​@@MichaelM28​@jakesnow96 actually we can Overclock RSX to Twice the Clock which will Make Performance Twice than original.

@@VictorHugoAlvarez-eternelymiss it doesn't work that way. at around 700mhz on RSX and 850mhz on VRAM you start getting diminishing returns. also you can end up bricking your console if you target frequencies far above the original values.

Some games are modded for it in mind. Most games you need to downclock to stock to avoid glitches.

I think it might be specifically, putting a socket on it, not necessarily the CPU upgrade itself.

yes,i was wondering why so many people seems pumped about upgrading xbox CPUs lately when this existed for a long time. there was even a company back then doing this, Friendtech.

It has, though this approach is different as he added a socket

Don't current consoles have just as much pc similarity?

@@urmomma2688 they are more customized

@@urmomma2688 well they are not as open. maybe they will be in the future when people hack them

PS2 is better. Cope harder

@@MicahtheDrumCorpsPseudoboomer don't feed the troll

I think xbox just wanted multiple ways for multiple types of people to play there games

@@fadercreek You can get an original 1TB Xbox stick for just 100 USD, and then removing the disk-drive?

The PS2, Dreamcast, gamcube and Xbox had the most creative games. We are lucky to have been around for that era of gaming.

It did. By far their best console and my favorite console

@@kasjamm PS2 is objectively better

​@@MichaelM28Your comments are objectively terrible.

700mhz so he's double speed

733mhz

Okay. And?

Not really a secret that video game consoles have to cut costs somewhere. The price of those CPUs nowadays is negligible but back then it was huge The Xbox cpu was already more powerful than the other consoles. This is just upgrading it Like the ps4 and Xbox one both have more or less the same garbage cpu and there were soooo many better options but more expensive

The game is capped at 30fps so you won't be able to go over 30. You wouldn't want to anyway as it was stutter like crazy.

The remake is absolutely amazing

​@@MichaelM28Nah, it's overrated and already forgotten.

Demon's Souls on PS3 has speed tied to framerate. what the game needed really was a properly framepaced performance which we know the Fromsoftware games don't have

To the table, not too. Also, what are you useful for?

@@KarlTheExpert not wasting time quarrelling on RU-vid

How?

@@fadercreek meaning makes no sense why you would even want to do this with a console this age. Lol

@@reviewforthetube6485 lol fun stuff like this pushes companies to do different things this could help them for mini consoles and handhelds

Bc it's fun ​@@reviewforthetube6485

​@@reviewforthetube6485Because we can. Like, why even comment? Makes no sense either.

Now tell that to all everyone in thd retro scene

@@mikeuk666attention seeking child award 😂😂😂

Not all are back compatible

not all games are, plus its cool

Only about 50/1000 games are backwards compatible

Nothing beats an original game on original hardware. Playing older games on a newer console is cool for convenience but there’s an entire community of people who still play original hardware. You have to realize there were nearly 30M worldwide of these devices sold. And that’s just Xbox. For PS2 it was close to 150+M. They’re still out there and people will fix them to keep them running. Especially with how the state of gaming is becoming all digital.

This mod is done more for the mod scene. All the emulators, homebrew etc.

You make zero sense.

@@KarlTheExpert Microsoft said if you don't like our new Xbox you can always go back to 360... lol

Your parents must be so proud

@@JackBrightmore I hope you feel better one of these days 🙏🏻 I used to be in the same boat a while back

​@@joshuatealeaves cringe

@@mikeuk666 You got me

Being interesting is the point.

Wasn't the PS2 very hard to develop for while the Dreamcast, Gamecube, and Xbox were easy to develop for? The only thing the PS2 has going for it is the crazy particle effects.

Imagine being so triggered you have to defend your corporate brand 😂

@@mikeuk666 That's unfortunately the nature of console/computer wars. People are still up in arms about the ZX Spectrum vs Commodore 64 war.
