Update: Added a hard drive and then started taking longer to boot (approx 10 - 20) seconds. Can see it clearly trying to glitch few times before it successfully boot into dash.
Added 0.068uF capacitor as previously mentioned and now boots almost instantly every time.

told you it works well, nothing else now boots as quick as the BBJasper with this cap!

Just to note. That mouser link a few pages back goes to the 680pF cap not the 68nF cap.
From reading the WHOLE post, you need a 68nF cap.

anyone willing to test this with other boards? just interested if this would help with all rgh's. maybe someone could test a few 5+ times without cap and then with it on other boards. maybe this can help even on boards without long boots to achieve the best time possible.
The Jasper I have been working on wouldn't glitch at all, fitted a 68nf cap and it boots as quick as an unmodded console

That is very good news to hear as I am having the same issue, it wont glitch at all.
If only the caps were available locally.
ok so is this the right CAP

i know this has been asked and asked but i just cant seem to wrap my head around it i know its a 0.068 uF
but this chart http://www.justradios.com/uFnFpF.html a 0.068 uF is the same as a 68nF is this right
anyway flame away if this is still wrong and pleas correct me if i am wrong

It's simple unit conversion they taught us in grade 6:
1 μ = 1 000 n = 1 000 000 p
1 n = 1 000 p
μ = micro, n = nano, p = pico
F = Farad
1 μ = 1 000 n = 1 000 000 p
1 n = 1 000 p
μ = micro, n = nano, p = pico
F = Farad
having similar issues on a jasper here won't glitch at all with the dvd drive connected then glitches not so often when drives disconnected

hey guys...
i grabbed a coolrunner chip yesterday and installed in my brothers jasper (16mb) today.
it works fine.. i ran my wires the exact same way as the official TX diagrams.
problem is that it takes up to 5 minutes to glitch like the OP. I've tried both a 68nF as suggested here and a 680pF which was suggested elsewhere.
Both of these capacitors enable the glitch to occur much much faster but causes the 360 intro video to stutter and then freeze before booting any dashboard.
Just wondering if anyone has any idea why that would be or how to get around it?
It'd be great if there was some kind of small auto-switcher that could cause the capacitor to be connected to GND and A before the glitch, then to have it removed once booted.

For those of you saying that your Jasper wouldn't glitch unless you added that capacitor.
Are you saying your coolrunner would not blink the green light because that is the issue I am experiencing even though I am thorougly convinced that my solder is ok. Or do you mean it would take a long time to boot to xell when the coolrunner was still blinking the light?
