I installed the NME V1.2 2 days ago. It was a real PITA. I probably wouldn't do it again. Those 9 wires next to each others are a challenge and it took me 5 hours. At first I got the E64 error , I checked my connection several time and finally got the XBOX to boot. I was the getting Disc unreadable. I tweaked the laser down to 3.4Kohms, but no go, then at 2.9 I started to get one backup to start every two or three try. When I reached 2.6 everything started to work and I have had no problems since. I have the hitachi 59D drive and I burn with a NEC-3550A DVD+R DL Booktype.
I have played XBOX live without problems so far.

I just installed it also and i have no idea if it works or not.  Everything boots up fine, and all original games works.  But i can't tell if the chip work, and i can't make backups my self cause all i have is the Pioneer111D.  I tried downloading some backups, and followed the instructions on the TeamUD site, but the 360 doesn't seem to read them.  All i get is some screen saying that "to play this disc put it in an xbox360".  does that mean that the chip isn't working, or that they were burnt bad.  Is there something else i have to do to a DL'ed backup to burn them or is it my pioneer burner that doesn't burn them.  I also use verbatim DVD+R DL dics.  Any help would be great since TeamUD doesn't seem to help.
Thanks.

I have one game, GOW, which worked at first and is now giving me the same error (put this disc in X360).
I wonder if the last Xbox live update I applied last night are for something in this.
I'm goign to try another burn to see if it is the disk or the game.
Have you try several games and do you get the same message for all of them? If not, try a different one.

I have tried 2 different backups (FEAR and Viva P.) and same message for both.  I picked up a Sony DRU-820A burner and i will try agian.  I'll let you know if i get any better results.  I wish i could just make my own backups and know for sure what the problem was.  I wonder if i can adjust the firmware on either the Sony or pioneer drives.  I'll have to look into that some more, unless anyone knows something.

Maybe I mised something but ehhhh I just installed a nme1.2 to my 360 and it is not working... I'm trying to figure it out I did it wrong or if its just media /burner issues I mean I actually can still play regular games. I get the insert xbox 360 game screen when I put in a burned game. I'm using verbatim dvd dl+  an an external lite-on shm-165p6ws07. What do you all think the problem is? Should I buy another burner or just try and install the chip again? OH yeah its a samsung drive

Ok so now i have tried on 2 different burners, the Pioneer 111D and the Sony DRU820A.  Same errors on both.  I am still unsure if it's the chip or it's the backups.  Can someone give me a sure way of burning DL'ed backups or a name of a group that realeases ones that work with the NME1.2  Thanks.  I'll be checking my sloder points but i am damn sure i didn't screw up there.  
Thanks.

Are you running NME-360 aSSociat0r.exe to make your ISO nme compatible?
Burn process I use

Use Xbox Backup Creator to confirm that the iso is valid (Stealth check)
Run NME-360 aSSociat0r.exe to convert iso to NME format
Start IMGBURN , verify that layer break is set at 1913760
delete the line LayerBreak=1913760 from the .dvd file (probably not needed but I just do it since it is working for me)
Select the .dvd file and start burning.

if i were you i would hold on and wait for more feedback from other people who got the chip before wasting more money on new burners etc..

 Ok so i am doing a few of these things but not all.  I did convert the .ISO files using the NME-360 aSSociat0r.exe file and they converted to the proper size.  I did not however check the images before hand and i will do that now.  Also i was burning from the *.ISO file and not the *.DVD file.  Does this really make a difference? I will try and see.  And duente, i am not planning on buying anymore burners, i only did so because i was reading some ppl saying that the pioneer didn't burn the sectors in the correct posotion for some mods.  So i thought that might have been the problem.

YEah, images passed all checks, converted to NME and burnt.  Still doesn't work.  So maybe the chip isn't installed correctly after all.

Make sure the image size in IMGBURN is 7,705,657,344
Use Book-type DVD+R DL
Use IMGBURN to check if there is a newer firmware for your burner or go to www.rpc1.org.
Burn slow, don't exceed 2.4x until you can confirm that your backups are working.
Go lower on your laser pot. Go down to 2.5Kohms if you have the hitachi drive

The 360 drive is a TS so no need to adjust laser pot unless i missed that somewhere.  Should I?
The firmwares are updated to the latest, and i do burn at 2.4x.
The book type on the pioneer by default is DVD+R DL, and i can't change it, but the sony i can change and i have tried both booktype DVD-ROM and DVD+R DL and same errors.  I even tired playing some XBOX1 backups and they do not work.  Original Halo and Halo 2 works as do all original 360 games as well.  
What WOULD happen if the chip was not installed correctly?

[sunrat204]

so problem solved, i had the wrong I point soldered, and now i fixed it and everything works fine.  
Thanks for all your support everyone especially wazzup1.  Just to let anyone who is wondering know.  Both Pioneer 111D and Sony DRU820A backups work fine.

What's up with that point B I don't have it soldered... and as a result its not working... does it matter what is B supposed to be anyway?

You need it because there will be grounding issues if you don't use it. I heard you're supposed to use a little thicker wire from that point to point on chip. 28 gauge is what I used. I also didn't use solid copper...I used stranded copper. It works. I hear my customer says its fine and boots up and reads games

[SadisticEkoEz]

I have a Hitachi  47dj drive, and I'm just wondering where you put the mod chip once u solder all the pointz on?

Hey SadisticEkoEz,  just use doublefaced tape and stick it to the reverse side of the board you just soldered all your connections to.  You can find installation guides on this website.
