O.K. guys. I'm new to this XBox thing and I would never buy a game console just as that. But after digging myself into the info I decided that a modded Xbox is definately worthwhile. So went ahead and pre-ordered a crystal xbox. Since I'm buying one anyway it might as well look cool I thought. Now I read everywhere that this crystal thing has a new videochip and a new bios. As far as I know it might even be a new motherbord or whatever. I'm looking for advice of the knowlegable members here. Should I cancel the order while I still can and buy a regular Xbox or do you guys think this version will be mod-able in a very short time and there should be no problem. Thanks for reactions in advance. JetLag

I'll be moddable soon, I have no doubt.

Remember, there's one common feature throughout all security measures that M$ have created...

They're not secure!

Does any1 know what version number the new limited edition crystal box will be im guessin the 1.5 but guess work can be costly. and if its a new version what modchip will we need ?

There was somthing on xbox-scene about it possable being a 1.6 with a diffent grafix card.

Its a different video ENCODER, not graphics CHIP (I say chip since theres no actual card in there)

OK, I'll keep my second promise: within 24 hours I'll post the internals.

(My project is still behind and in SIT phase so I better put work first - also I just asked for a pay rise!)


cheers,

I’m a bit skeptical about a new video encoder being put in just b/c of an LE XBox coming out.
I should have my order of them in about a week. But I’m sure some one in Europe will know about this before they show up on my door step. If no one knows when I got mine I’ll be sure to take some pics and post them.

If you could concentrate around closeups of the LPC area (inclduing d0) and the video decoder, please...

Definately going to get one, probably pre order tomorrow/today *just noticed the time*

I like the new colour (or lack of), I'm yet to be impressed by translucent PC cases, but because of the shielding, it should look pretty good.  Also opens up the prospects of new forms of case modding.  A few well placed LEDs could make the entire case change colour.  You could have various controlled colours to suit your mood.


Could look kinda good.  

I'm sure many ideas will arise for this 'blank canvas'.


Edit: I'm aware my sig no longer matches the background....on my things to do along with finding out what happened to hank...

OK, I had a customer just bring their Green Halo edition Xbox in and it had:


* Philips DVD - Manufactured: December 03 - also reads CDRs :-)
* Focus video decoder
* Kernel 5713


I successfully TSOP flashed it with the EvoX M7.

Seems like some of them are version 1.5 maybe?


... photos of my PCB to come.

bourke, does the motherbord look the same as before so the Xecuter can be fitted? I'm talking about both versions you have seen so far, especially yours.
