Xerc2 2019-04-02

Being the ultimate media center console of his generation the original Xbox missed one feature: the ability to power up the console from the IR remote. Many solutions were available on the market, one of them was the Xerc: a small pcb with IR receiver you should mount inside your Xbox. This mod was available on Sickmods, with full schematics and documentation. Sickmod is gone :-( so you will find all the info available on that site to build your own Xerc2.

From the now defunct site description:

The latest update to the XERC family is now for sale – the XERC 2 XE. This version includes a diode onboard so you can directly connect the MS DVD Kit dongle to the XERC to share the same IR receiver.
SICKmods XERC 2 XE

If you are unfamiliar with the XERC, it is a small device which allows you to turn your Xbox on and off with your remote. It also allows you to eject and emulate long and short power presses, to enter different boot modes if you have a modchip installed. The MS DVD Kit dongle can be internally hardwired to share the same IR receiver as the XERC 2 XE.

The XERC can be configured to work with many different remotes, and you can change the button setup at any time without opening your Xbox. It also includes a bonus LED Fader feature on the status light. For more info on the XERC, and to view a video of it in action, visit http://xerc.sickmods.net/.
