I have installed the RGH hack (Cool Runner / PHAT / Wires) on a 256MB Jasper and it boots fine. Initially it took about a minute to boot but I put the capacitor (50nF not the 68F all I could get) on and relayed the wires as recommended and it boots in 5-15 seconds in either the first or second glitch attempt. All is working fine and I am happy.
I tried using it at my mates place using same controller and external psu but it refused to glitch, the green light flashed every 7 seconds and after an hour with different power points etc it just would not glitch and boot. I took it home thinking I may have bumped it on the trip over but that was unrealistic as the wires are solidly glued in and my soldering is fine. I plugged it in at home and it booted in 5 secs like gold!
The only difference I can make out is that I am using a very good quality power board to protect my devices and my mate is not. If his mains line is noisy or slightly under powered would this cause the boot problem? I event tried a higher powered supply that I had with my xenon on my jasper box thinking it may boost the power to the box but still no glitch. This is frustrating and I guess I am posting this to see if anyone has any recommendations and also to add to the knowledge of when things work and when things don't. That may help out others who have done everything right but the box is just not glitching and maybe they should take a look at their power.
