Are V1.5 Even Real?
« on: April 02, 2004, 05:13:00 AM »
QUOTE
After months of seeing noobs having ground bounces...
I think it's time to clear something:

Newer xbox's are NOT v1.5 but v1.4
Few v1.5 have been produced in august according to some respected people.
Then MS decided to stop it and go back to v1.4 mobo.

Thats verified with dozens of installers...
Please never make fixes for v1.5 in first place,
Check the ground (LPC#2) and 3.3v (LPC#9) again.

If your console frags and you think you have a v1.5:
- Check your soldering
- Be sure your mod is not empty
- Learn to use a multimeter
Then you should do the fixes.

Sorry if it pissed off people that was not the point.
The fact is that hundred if people think they have 1.5
after unproper checking. I'm an idiot. Ho yeah smile.gif
I'll read more forums before posting !!
Sorry Troed

I've modded dozens of xbox's and have personally seen and modded 4 v 1.5 boxes. Also confirmed visually with a 1.4 and a 1.5 sat side by side. Both had focus video chip, one had the ground and 3.3v lines missing from the lpc.

So this is bullshit, unless i'm very much mistaken.

I dunno, i agree with the news. Ive modded countless xboxs now and ive NEVER found a v1.5. Granted it could just be the fact ive never had a 1.5 to mod yet, or it could mean they dont exist. I think i'll trust evox on this  smile.gif

Then what do they consider a "1.5"??

Do they still think it is some sort of 1.4?

They should include a little more to this statement for some sort of backing.

It's a little late for an April Fool's post.

They've never seen a 1.5, so therefore it must not exist.  Well, I've never seen Cleveland.   dry.gif

lets see, i cant see air, so im choking

(sorry, im bored and felt like posting something)

i do agree with team evox, it doesnt seem like there is much difference between the 1.4 xbox's and the alleged 1.5, but if there is any difference then doesnt that mean its a different version?

first of all:

Now the question is who created this hoax...
Wait, wait.. only 2 mods use 5v from lpc.

What kind of BS* is that, it has been known much longer then that.

personally i've never encountered a 1.5 but why would XB-S lie about it in the version charts?
somebody must have tested the LPC and found that the ground was disconnected, no?

i'm not saying they are wrong (nor wright) but why do they seem to drag 2 of the (currently) top modchip teams into this?
That is if my presumptions about wich 2 chips they are talking about is correct.

So all the"Changes" they did for the current generation of Mod Chips to work on 1.5's was BullShit? I honestly don't think from a business standpoint, that they (Mod Chip Makers) wouldn't research this, so they would know what to incorporate in the design of the chip. Furthermore who would benefit from this? dry.gif

i've a 1.5 right in front of me now. after i read the news i checked the lpc and gnd and 3.3v are definately not there. i guess ms just produced some 1.5 boxes but that gave some internals problems. like testing devices created for the lpc and such. then discontinued them

Wow, I'm confused.  Who's accusing who of creating that?  And, what is the point of starting that rumor of v1.5 xbox?  I'm just confused as to if that article has any significance or is that thing just some random junk news....

Why would EvolutionX (dashboard developer) bother about enduser modchip problems? I smell some kind of OzXodus/Xenium connection here. Spreading bullshit on the evox site to confuse users installing other mods, that way no one have to back it up at OzXodus.
