£££ in the pipeline. flash multiple boxs with 1 chip.

when xecuter 2 bios comes out or any other 512k or 1 meg bios then you can use it with the new MatriX feature without splitting it down.
You can take advantage of the whole TSOP now ( full 1 megabyte )

So there is no worry about it not working on your matrix

Stay posted because I am working on the setup I talked about above

I got the file, but in the install diagrams what legs are being soldered together with the wire at the W2 Marker? And can you explain in depth what is happening during this procedure, the instructions are VERY vague.

Thanks

P.S. I also remember that trying to align the chip while not in Mode 1 could potentially fry the xbox, what are there means for testing for alignment if the chip is in mode 3 and the light will always remain red?

the pic shows the pin3 on the tsop (W2) wired to the W1

from the text it sais it doesnt matter idf u connect the other 2 pins... so u can solder all last 3 pins to the W1 point

Oh, and one other thing to point out. Wasn't the purpose of the Matrix to keep people from having to solder. This should be fun to see.

For a one time deal, why not try tape

Its MatriX Specific

ravencry I guess you are making that statement cause you own and have tested the X-ecuter 2 right?

The X-2 doesn't need this anyway as it already has a 1Mb flash. Also, I believe there is only a couple wires to solder, that shouldn't be much of a problem for most people who have harldy any experience in soldering. Like ziggy said, you could use some kind of apoxy to keep the new wires in place since you only have to have the wires conected while flashing the TSOP.

The bottom line that this is great news for those of us with a matrix! It was a great chip, now it's better.

no its confirmed that this hack only works on the MatriX
Evox posted on their channel that the mode the chip is in does all the work

it will not work on other lpc mods like bioxx cheapmod and xecuter2

i didnt say it just because i have a matrix
its a fact

jaredkortje · « **Reply #23 on:** November 10, 2002, 01:39:00 PM »

How can you know this if they aren't out?

The only reason I would need a 512k bios if for xbox ver. 1.1 support. So to mod a new xbox, someone will have to make a 256k 1.1 bios. I think this is still a ways away.

...Because none of them work like the Matrix in "Mode 3", perhaps ?

It only works because of the way the Matrix switches between its BIOS and the TSOP in that particular mode.

Good point. You still won't be able to flash a 1.1 box unless EvoX release a version of this BIOS that fits in 256K and works on a 1.1 box.

I see NO reason whatsoever why a 1.1 BIOS would need more than 256K, though. EvoX can do it. They rock.

Well we have no proof it won't.

ravencry i'm very excited about trying this, how did you test if the matrix was lined up correctly, the pictures say measure the short between points G1 and G2 to see if it is line up correctly, what were your results??
