And again, RGH on Xenons

Greetings, fellow developers! This is my first post here, so be free to point me if I'll make any mistakes.

I've got a RRoD Xenon board from a friend with a clone glitcher PCB previous used on a corona board (I know you're not supporting clones, but I didn't buy it, I'm just interested in the research). I fixed the board by changing damaged gpu to a new one, and installed RGH1 using a glitcher, but no luck, I tried every possible combination of wiring and capacitors on PLL_Bypass and CPU_Rst (even tried variable capacitor), used double shielded 50 ohm cable, also tried ordinary wires from IDE cables, and still nothing. I have CB_1923 and a 14699 dashboard.

I know it's nothing special to have this on xenons, but I wonder, what is the root of the problem for those boards? And why is it so hard to make a hack compatible with xenons? Knowing the issue can help me to continue my reserch and may be to solve it one day. It's really a competition for me, because I'm not interested to use this board, I'm just want to find a solution!
For now, I tried to slow down the whole system using a DDS AD9850 based synthesizer instead of a 27MHz oscillator, and it worked, the system slowed down and didn't crash! The AD9850 is cheap and it can be used in a pair with a xilinx chip to control cpu frequency, similar to how it's done on HANA's.

If you can find a stable Coolrunner code, that will boot the dash in a timely manner, I am sure that TX would add it to the new CR4 Chip. I would be looking at that, and see if you can get the new RGH1 wired R-JTAG to work on a xenon, you may have better luck, and it would be helpful for all of the people who want to mod updated xenons. I kind of got the impression that TX doesnt think it is worth working on, because as a rule xenon boards are crap.

If not here, the home of the Xenon RGH, then I guess nowhere.

It would be great, but I assume on xenons there may be additional hardware used.

The luck is important here, but not overriding. I have no resources to match the experience of TX, and if I won't get any answers, my attempt is pretty obvious pointless...
