Hi, I also just bought a XBox extreme green edition (with Crimson Skies and Project Gotham 2) and was also wondering what version it its (manufactured 9th week of 2004). I don't want to open it until I get a mod chip so that the warranty is good just in case something happens until then. Is there anyone that might know what version the extreme green special edition is (its in canada only I think)

TIA

Arctic, I could not return the unit since the first thing I did when I got the system was put my chip in to it along with a 250 gig hard drive. smile.gif It was only after putting the system back together and firing it up did I discover the bad network port.

SO with out being able to return it I had to buy a new motherboard. I could have lived with out the network port but upgrading apps and backing the system up is kinda hard to with out it.

I looked around and found a guy on ebay that was selling a new Halo system for parts. My system was also a Halo. So I grabbed the motherboard from him for $60. He thought the board was a 1.4 but when I got it, it actually turned out to be a 1.5. No big deal just had to add in two extra wires.

So hope that made more sense. Sorry about the short first post my son woke up and I thought I left the PC sitting but I guess I did not.

Fusio, have u put a mod chip in one of your 1.6 XBox. From what I read, there are no mod chips that work with that version yet.

You are correct sir.  mad.gif  There are currently no BIOS files that support the v1.6 xbox.

However most of the current 3rd and 4th gen chips should work fine, they just need a compatible bios to do anything other than just power up.

I don't think that's what he was originally asking


I was just say that my origianl motherboard was a 1.4 but the replacement was a 1.5.

If you have two Halos that are 1.6 then its all gonna depend on the manufacture date. Like I said before 2004-02-01 is the date from the bottom of my box. Im not sure of the date for the new board I bought. But I do know for a fact that the board was a 1.5

Yes it came from a Halo box. The guy buys systems then rips them a part and sells the parts on ebay for a small profit.( Although some people out there pay 100 or more just for a halo case so then he makes more) Anyway, he thought the board was a 1.4 so when I got it and just installed my chip as such.

But when I put it all back together it didnt work so I ripped it apart again used my meter, and installed the LPC bus fix for ground and 3.3v. The system fired right up.

It may be a version 1.5 board, but it didn't come with your Halo LE so it's not relevant.


Right all I have to go on for the new board is the fact that the seller told me it came from a Halo box. Which I would not doubt since all I ever see him sell on ebay is Halo cases, motherboards, power supplys, & never sells any "black" cases.

But getting back to the original question of are they 1.5 or 1.6 all I was trying to say was depending on the date it could be a 1.4. Even you yourself say you just bought one that was a 1.4. So they are still out there. You just wont know till you open it up and see if it has the Focus chip or not.

Well I opened my XBox and was glad to see the Focus chip  biggrin.gif So that means I can put a mod chip. I want to go with a solder free solution cause it seems safer. Should I go for a X-Ecuter or a Xenium solder free solution.
