so if what you are selling isn't a mod chip, and it''s only a programmer, what if your customer(poor bastard) has 2 blank mod chips to install. wtf he gonna do then ?

[smokeingit]

i have a question for Nazi X. looking at your picture (yes i took the time to go to his 3D site, with my 3D goggles.) i noticed that one of the SST chips hangs over a super hot chip being the MCPX... dont you think thats kinda crazy for being so close to plastic?

So, the 80% of those that are using modchips have an SST installed, as a Cheapmod, AppleX, Alladin, LPCmod, OzxChip, X-elixis, Rodmod, Matrix, +++++ and you are telling me about X2 Pro?

you really have got to be kidding me right ?

where did you come up with these figures ? - a guy that probably sells about 5 chips a week


and the last time there was a poll on xbox-scene - X2 had over 60% of the coverage of mod installs

I also find it amusing how you think an X2 PRO owner would not have a PC lol

It boggles my mind how you bash my product when it owns you in the biggest way

im SO looking forward to you kissing my ass when i release a 512k bios with the new RC4 v1.3 key (yes we'll do a 256k a little after that sure guys dont sweat - I just wanna see this asshole squirm)

X-elixis Adaptor is not a modchip... How many times you want me to tell you so.

How many times we've got to tell you...

WE JUST DON'T CARE  

And it looks like an unsafe piece of crap. And you think that the 5v chips are dangerous  

Don't complain about the flaming because i think spamming is a more higher crime on this board.

Holy shit, CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN HOW I WOULD WANT THAT IN MY BOX?

Hmmm, I also have to agree, that can't be safe, I though pogo pins could shift, I think that will shift (after melting, or in dispare of being such a crapy setup).

Wow. Thats just sick.

I've tried hard not to bash Nasis X just for the sake of it, but... Holy Crap! What the FUCKING HELL is THAT monstrosity ?

This is the first programmer ever build for Xbox!
It has 2 LPC outputs, that we call it "A" and "B".
The functionality is as simple as: Boot from "A" and Program "B" and vice versa!

"A" Output:
In this output you may plug:
A: X-elixis Plug-Ins
A1: Cheapmods varieties, Xecuter1, X2 Lite, X2 Pro, BiosXX
A2: Matrix, Chameleon

"B" Output:
In this output you may plug X-elixis Plug-In with socket,
and be able to program bare SST chips.
It is also designed so it can be easilly extended for external access!

X-adaptor is build for another perpose also,
and this is to be used as a dual modchip adaptor!
For this perpose the A/B Switch is designed to work internally (like the photo),
or externally with the help of a ribbon cable.
By upgrading your modchip to a dual modchip,
you never fear of a bad flash!
Simple boot from the working modchip and program the non working one.

Of course, as the most modchips don't have an Xbox Live switch,
we have included one, so you can gain access to your onboard tsop as well!

And all these are only the basic features,
while by replacing the 12C508 chip with another one,
you may change the whole setup of X-Adaptor!
Also, we may replace the A/B Switch in the future,
cause as you can see it is removeable!

Anyway, this is a chance for X-elixis users to play with their modchip,
as X-adaptor is a Plug-In!
It can work with or without soldering, making hacking looking more as a game!
For users of another modchip,
it is the last chance to gain compatibility to X-elixis high tech products,
as X-Adaptor can be installed like a Plug-In to X-elixis LPC Connector,
or as a standalone adaptor with 4 wires to solder!

Anyway, if you don't like it, don't buy it!

I just wanted to show to developers of Xbox Hacking scene,
how easy and useful is to build products for X-elixis LPC connector!
You have all needed points on a nice connector,
and with a Plug-In edge that cost 0$,
you may avoid extra soldering to Xbox Mainboard!

Our message is... Have Fun with Hacking, regardless what modchip you Have!!!

Whilst you have to admire the lad's tenacity ambition, and technical knowledge (if of course he designed this himself), I must admit it looks like a recipie for disaster.
The only place I have seen more flexi PCB was behind the instrument panel on a old Chevy Camaro I once owned!
Nasis, surely the way forward would be to use 1 49LF040 instead of 2 49LF020s and electronically switch to the upper half of the chip when you need to boot on bank 2? Then you can pop it on a nice PCB and use a Pin header to go into the LPC port. By all means add your "External port" connector etc.
To be honest I don't like the Idea of 1 Chip, let alone 2 Chips flapping about on flexi pcbs inside my Xbox, even with fire insurance!!!!
May I suggest you check your public liability insurances, because I think you are looking for a host of troubles.

Hey BenJeremy,
this Plug-In is for people who want to plug&play with Xbox Hacking,
or to do their job profecionally!

The first step requires only Plug&Play actions,
while the full installation requires only 2 points of extra soldering!

Meanwhile, I doubt that you can program your Matrix,
the same time with the X2 with pin headers,
and feel free to do as well with any other modchip arround.
And it is always a clever solution to recover your modchip with X-Adaptor,
than going for a programmer that still requires a PC.

Also it is making development a game,
as it includes so many ports to experiment,
that since now, I haven't been able to test all its features yet!
By the time that I will fully control X-adaptor Plug-In,
I will be able to bring the next step of X-elixis!

But this time, many people will have the chance to do so,
and help a little bit...

Developers that want to release diferent hexs for Xbox Live Switch,
they will receive one sample of X-adaptor for free!
So, come on and lets play...

I have a question for you nasis x, i saw it asked earlier but you never answered, so you can answer now im asking.

How do you use your "programmer" to flash 2 blank chips then? You have no access to a flashed chip to boot from, all you have is 2 blank chips, and your "programmer". How do you go about flashing them?

[nasis x.]

Aha...
This is a very interesting question!

First I would like to make it clear,
that the software that is used is Evolution-X,
that requires a modchip to boot.

So, if you want to program 2 bare SST with one go,
then you may do the following:

1. Boot EvoX with a modchip in A or B output.

2. Remove the programmed modchip.

3. Plug an X-elixis Plug-In with a bare SST to A output
and a cheapmod with socket to A1 output!

4. Flash with EvoX!

I am gonna try it tommorow, to see if it is working!
I remember in the beta tests of XHL day#2,
I have Pluged an X2 Pro with an SST.
Both of the chips started to get programmed,
when in the 1/4 the procedure stopped...
X2 is 4xSST, so Xbox is able to program multiple modchips with one go,
and it was very logical that it stopped in 1/4...

You got a point on this!

[smokeingit]

crap.... a fantasy chip, that cant be used out of the box... So i need to have bought all sorts of shit in order to get your monster going. =/ oh hell being that i am a modder and modders already know how to go around this issue already... what would be the advantage of me buying to your hype then me just using pin headers on my MOBO?

I am also a modder,
but I like to play a little bit on my spare time with developing things,
that will do me work easier...

For this perpose I build the programmer,
to program all plug-ins and generally LPC modchips,
while the external plugs and sockets,
to develope the next Plug-In!

I am not forcing you to change your current setup  with Pin headers,
or to get all the rest Plug-Ins,
as X-Adaptor can be installed as a standalone adaptor with only 4 wires to solder,
and you add an extra LPC output to have fun with it!

[PsiDOC]

So where does the plug and play come in then???
From what I can see it's strip down the Xbox, add another flexi chip, reassemble box. How plug and play is that? To flash the chip it's strip down the Xbox, add another flexi chip, reassemble box flash chip, disassemble box.... etc etc......... FUCK THAT!
If I need to program an Xbox chip I'll stick with my $45 Eeprom / Flash programmer that's attached to my laptop than use your Camaro Dashboard PCB reject!
Please for the sake of emergency services everywhere, take your fire hazzards off the market, recycle the chips and put the PCBs in an incinerator, before you get your ass sued!

Psi

So what your really saying is your "programmer" isnt a programmer at all, its just your own twist to connecting a chip to the motherboard, so insted of using a nice neat and clean looking LPC pin header to install a chip, you strap your erm "thing" to the motherboard, and all the programming is still done using Evo-X, as it is with all the other chips (well exculding X2 pro etc...), but still needs to have been booted from a pre programmed chip, why not just buy an X2 Pro, atleast you CAN program them from being blank without any need of other chips to get you started.

That means there is nothing special about your "programmer" and infact doesnt that come under the heading of false advertising    maybe someone should buy your "programmer" then sue you for false advertising and misreprisentation of a product leading to a sale, dont know when you last checked, but over here thats kind of illegal. Afterall, your "programmer" doesnt do any programming does it
