I went into this process looking for an easy solution to b/u my 360 games and can tell you that I had nothing but problems trying to get the NME 1.2 to work in my Samsung based system. Tried all the fixes and no joy. Ordered the Xeno 360 from www.foundmy.com and 1st try: SUCCESS!! I also like the whole setup of activating the chip on startup by hitting eject, you can see the red LED illuminated (if you mount it in the right spot) through the back vent in the case. I have two unused versions of the NME chip available (v1.2 with the 220 inductor) and v1.0. Email me [email protected] if you want to pick them up cheap. Hell I will even ship them for free.

i agree. had the new 1.2 not had all these errors.. it'd rape up the Xeno... but ... it does. So Xeno is the best chip .

Although most errors seems to be Samsung based.... And the nme seems to work fine in hitachis....

So I dunno...

I prefer not having to hit eject to turn on my chip though. As i usually just leave a backup in the drive til i beat the game.

About the Xeno 360, when it says "hold eject for 5 seconds from standby" does that mean I hold eject for 5 seconds while the system is off or does it mean hold for 5 seconds after the system is already booted up?

I have the samsung drive and I put the NME 1.2v in and it works fine. Never had any errors or anything. Worked right from the first try.

Maybe the NME 1.2 has problems with the Samsung drive...I have Hitachi DJ78 and NME1.2 from modchipfitters (First Batch) and since then (3 months) works every time great,both backups and original.

The system is off. To activate the chip, power on via EJect button.
The system is off. To boot the system w/ chip deactivetd power on via power button or controller.

I tried with system on via power button. to hold the eject button 5 seconds to activate the chip, didn't work. So i think the system has to be off and powered on via eject to activate the chip. Which blows if your like me and leave a game in the drive until you beat it or get tired of it..

I have the NME on my Hitachi, and it tends to have problems with keeping the network turned off when playing backups... Maybe it's just me, no one else seems to have this problem.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Anyway, comparing the Xeno to NME, in my opinion if you have any Hitachi drive, the Xeno 360 is way easier to install than the NME V1.2 (NME has 9 wires just on the little SST chip! whereas Xeno only has 3!) but as far as Samsung goes the NME V1.2 is slightly better because you dont have to solder the Eject power on button.

Also, on the Hitach 78 drives the Xeno is still easier, having only 5 wires on the SST chip.
