DXpatch v1.0 - make games compatible with DreamX 1480 |
A few days ago Elupus was doing some debugging to figure out why XBMC's DVD Player was having issues with my DX-1480. In the process of debugging we got to talking about the box and Elupus inadvertantly discovered a hack to make games compatible with the DX-1480. I've tested it with all the games I have and it has worked with a 98% success rate.

Thanks to Lysip for helping out with the patch utility built with CodeFusion's generic byte patching engine. If any developer's would like to experiment more with this hack, please get in touch with Elupus or me...I'd love an option to enable this hack in the final X3 bios, I think it would compliment my chip nicely wink.gif At any rate I will host the file on my personal FTP server for now, but if anyone would like to host this for me...that would be cool.
* What is this: A patch to make games compatible with the DreamX 1480.
* Why do you need it: To patch games for the faster processor so they run at normal speed and playback smoothly.
* Overview: For those of you wondering what a DreamX 1480 is, it is a modded Xbox from Friendtech with 1.4Ghz processor and 128Mb RAM upgrades. These boxes were originally created to run Linux and things of that nature, they yielded some serious compatibility issues for playing games. Basically game developers hardcode the games to the internal clock speed of the original processor (733.33Mhz) since they know every Xbox manufactured will have the same hardware components. The problem here is that the DreamX is twice as fast so when games are hardcoded for the slower processor, they will run twice as fast, have choppy video, etc. Lots and lots of problems result because of this. Until now owners of these Xboxes haven't been able to play most of their games due to this problem plaguing the DreamX. this patch fixes that. Testing showed that 98% of games tested played normal after applying this patch.
The best implementation of this hack would be at bios level so it could patch xbe's on-the-fly and from discs. I have hopes that some of the modchip teams will pick this up and run with it since it is a fairly simple hack. If any developers have an interest in going a little further with this please contact Elupus or me and we can supply you the details of what the patch actually does.
