LPC Cheapmods will NOT work.

Hmm... So is there any specific wellknown reason why the LPC port cannot be used (if that's indeed what you're implying) ?
I mean, if the port is there, then it can probably be used as an interface -- somehow...  

Could the LPC/headerpin version of Cheapmod be redesigned in order to make it work on a v1.3 ?

[dzv]

This has been addressed in depth in at least 1 other thread.  To sum it up, the LPC port in the v1.3 Xboxes have no LFRAME.  All LPC based cheapmods rely on the LFRAME signal in order to work.  They could be made to work using a CPLD, but then that defeats the purpose of making a cheapmod.

Just check my post. its got everything you need to know.

I have a Serial Number : XXXXXXX 30XXX BUT IT Is a version 1.3! Beware the info on the main page is not correct.

My cheapmod did not work on this xbox, I'm getting a xecuter 2.1 to test on it as well as a executer 2.2. If the 2.2 works and not the 2.1 then I know for a fact it is a 1.3. However, being an experienced isntaller I can say for a fact that since the cheapmod did not work the xbox is indeed a 1.3

i would say 99% of machines of 30XX are NOT a 1.3 - just for your referance

[FIREitUP]

manufacture date: 1/03
serial number: 30xx
so its a 1.2 rite?

Just wondering, if you get a v1.3 xbox and a chip that's not v1.3 compatible and you try to install the chip, what will happen?

Just recently tried an install of a chameleon for a friend (before the upgraded the chips to be 1.3 compatible), 100% sure I installed correctly and I get a double boot attempt/shutdown, then a 3rd with frag'in..

A good way (but definitely not the most efficient way) to check your XBOX version is to do a pin header install, then check your LFRAME pin (it's across from the Ground pin, or pin #2, diagnol) - if you don't get a signal/voltage reading from that pin (on 1.0/1.1/1.2 XBOXes you'll get 3.3V from the LFRAME pin), you have a v1.3 (as I discovered yesterday when attempting to mod my friend's XBOX).  

So, I had to order up a new Xecuter 2.2 Lite chip for him (works with 1.3).  I guess the new modchips "trick" the XBOX into thinking that D0 is enabled so that LPC mods once again function normally, without the need for an LFRAME signal.  Interesting stuff...  

The SN guideline works well, too.  If your SN is xxxxx 31xxx, you definitely have a 1.3.  If it was manufactured AFTER April, chances are it's a 1.3 model.

Hey,

Our xbox does not even have a manufacturing date on it? does anyone know what that means?

[Pizza Pizz]

no date underneath xbox ?

probably been opened already then

My be a co-incidense.

But My new 1.3 Xbox came with Xbox Live pre-installed on the Dashboard !

My 1.2 Never !

[dzv]

I believe most Xboxes since v1.2 now come with Live pre-installed.

azzi,

Both of my 1.2's came with Xbox Live pre-installed.  

Artstar,

This topic has already been covered by all of the big guns and there is no simple way to fix the LFRAME.  Team Xodus were actually the ones that had removed the MCPX and discovered that the LFRAME track had been completely removed.

If your really interested, and have a few hours to kill - you can read the entire history of the hacking of the 1.3 in this thread.
