Got A ?ion Or Two About Duox2 On A 1.6b
« on: February 17, 2005, 12:51:00 PM »
My friend just got his 1.6b xbox and he is going to get a DuoX2 White chip and a 200gb HDD from Modchipman. Ive got a few questions here. 1) Ive heard about modchips burning out on 1.6s. To avoid this problem do i just follow the diagrams according to the DuoX2 website for 1.6s or do I have to do something extra to solve this problem? 2) About the 200gb my friends is getting, what setting in LBA48 should i set in EVTool: Part 6 takes all or have a Part6 and 7? I dont know how Modchipman set their 137+ hdds partions so this is why im askin this.

Depends how you wan the partitions one large F: for 6 or 6+7 for F and G.
The white edition can be a bit of a bitch to flash in a 1.6 and you may have to boot many times for the flash screen to even show up

Im still kinda confused about this resitor thing. Is it really nessesary to do this or does the diagrams work just fine from DuoX2s site without having any probsin the near future? I just dont want to be blamed for this xbox burning out real soon bcuz of getting a modchip. Also how do u use IGR for M8+? Do u activate it with L+R+BCK+WTE or L+R+BCK+STRT?

Its just a precaution, I don't think no one really knows the effects it has on the system or how long before something bad happens to it. If you don't want to be later blamed then just put the resitor, its not that hard.

I read somewhere that certain chips have protection against this already, DuoX being one of them. So there should be no need to install the resistor

Hippo ran some tests on the duos and posted the results in a past thread.  They do not protect against high LFRAME current as was once believed.  It was measured to be just a bit lower than the other chips but still not low enough to be considered safe (it was something like 42mA IIRC)

It was around 54ma. The 72ma the xbox mcpx chip is producing over rates most cpld's. The sunday chip is soon to be released and has this problem beat.
