wow - any ideas when there will be a UK supplier? shipping from the place mentioned at the end of the article is more than the chip itself!!

Hey, thats good news!! Team X-ecuter is probably probably pissed off, you can probably expect a response from them within the day about how crappy this chip is.

man you're such a retard imurderer

why would we be pissed of ?

X3 has all these features and more with the 2 new chipsets wink.gif

you need to show a little respect to those that actually did all this shit originally or you would still be browsing for porn instead of giving tutorials on how to use pin headers

go back to fucking nasis-x in the loser forum

I had a thought.  I'm really intrested in the EvoX functions of the mod.  I was wondering if you switch it to a bank (1, 2, 3, 4) or the tsop through EvoX and say it switch it to an orignial MS BIOS (lets say bank 2). next time I turn on the Xbox will the mod run the orignal bios (bank 2) or can i make it run (lets say bank 1) everytime i power on and off.  Now that would be cool... heh, anyway i hope you follow me...

im assuming it works similar to our software bank select on x2 pro

select 1mb mode

select which bank you want

reset xbox

that bank is set for the time the box is powered on

it could be different of course but im assuming this is how it works as its not that hard to do

its nice its inc with evox but then again evox are working with them now so it's always going to be stuff we wont be able to include as we dont code the evox dash

however we do have our own xbe apps and im sure evox would intergrate these on release as they have done with dvdx2

thanks for the review

I'm conflicted!  I have matrix chip and i'm planing on soldering (conductive Micro Pen instead of soldering)   the 2 points to write enable ...and I have 007raincoat.file  loaded on memory card .... to flash tsop.
Then I might add switch at 18/19 to flash 1/2 tosp in case of bad flash ....
Doing this seems easier than doing alot of soldering to install the chip...
I just ordered  conductive Micro PEN so I don't have to solder the 2 points.

It seems like Mod chips are out-dated ....    am I the only one who feels this way.  Unless Stealth allows Modded games on xbl ....  and I'm not into LIVE ....   so

I like SIMPLE!  2 points memory card 007 seems simple!  
But you guys could change my mind....
I'll continue to follow this thread

Does "stealth" mode allow you to play XB live with backed up games or not?  That is the question.  Do we have a definitive answer yet? grr.gif

So how exactly does one do this with an X2: Pro? I've got one and would love to be able to soft select the bank it's using.

jungec,

 For your definetive answer, its no.  If you think that MS will just let us play backups on live, your nuts.  They will / and have the ability to update what live searches for, the way I understand it now its just the bios.  IF people try to continue to hack at it, they may search the drive for extra / unsigned files.  The ONLY way to play on live is to buy the games.  Sorry it sucks, but its worth it.

yamcheboy,

 Yes stealth mode would be shutting the chip off.  So that Live would not detect it, and ban your xbox.  So if you only run backups, and dont upgrade the hard drive it will be easy to just shut off the chip and play on live.  If you upgrade your drive, then thats a whole nother can of worms I wont go into.  But you can read up on it here:   biggrin.gif

no stealth soesnt shut the chip off from how its explained

it switches to a different bank on bootup - i.e. original ms dash ?

im not sure this would work with how the flash is stored in rom in bootup - ill do some tests of my own this weekend
