requirements

• 64-bit windows 11
• one of the five exact original xbox drive profiles for original xbox discs; check the listed status before buying
• only the GP63EX70 / RF02 / 0e8d:1887 profile for xbox 360 discs
• your own 512-byte MCPX 1.0 rom and compatible xbox bios for original xbox

the new SP80NB80 / RF02 profile is experimental and limited to original xbox XGD1 media. its exact identity and stock register map are confirmed; physical activation, play, and restoration testing are still pending.

leave the stock cd-rom and usb storage drivers on the drive. do not install winusb, zadig, or any third-party optical driver.

setup

1. extract the complete windows archive.
2. open the extracted folder and run gdox.exe.
3. open sources and add original xbox firmware if needed.
4. connect the drive, then insert a supported disc.
5. wait for the game name, then choose start.
6. after play, quit xemu normally. gdox restores and releases the drive even if the disc has already been removed.

keep the folder together. gdox verifies its matching runtimes before launch.

your settings, firmware, saves, and profiles live in your appdata folder, so replacing the release folder leaves them alone.

asus drive cleanup fixed in 0.2.4

gdox 0.2.4 completes safe restoration of the ASUS SDRW-08D1S-U / A202 when its disc is removed after play. it also releases the stale windows command channel after a confirmed USB disconnect.

if 0.2.3 is still showing a restoration warning, close gdox, unplug the drive for ten seconds, then install 0.2.4 from the complete archive. reconnect the drive after gdox is closed.

gdox changes only the drive's temporary memory and never flashes its firmware.
