so what do u guys think? and why is the duo x cheaper than other modchips, is it because it is not durable?

Maybe you got one of those cheapie clones, but even the real deal sometimes is a bit flakey, especially with the 1.6s. I had one that did this sometimes, and opening it up and plugging it back in sometimes worked. I got tired of it, though, and just got a clevermod and it's been reliable as hell.

Open up yoyr box and double check a wire has not came off ! Resolder your points. The original DuoX2 chips are very reliable ... i fit and forget ! Not fit then fix !

Complete rubbish. There are no problems with the DuoX2 and the 1.6 box. You need to check your installation work because 100s of installs of these says different

This is the same line you gave us when you were installing Aladdins. Eventually evey other post in the forum refered to trouble with Aladdin and 1.6 and you ended up on this Doux bandwagon. Now about every 3 or 4 posts in this forum right now is a doux flash or boot problem. You can smoke screen all you want but my personal Doux that I boot to test crap on every 4 months is dead and I'm not lifting one little finger to find out why. These things are about as reliable as every 3rd or 4th post in these forums indicate. No doubt alot of these installs are as you say are bum installs but mine isn't. I've been pretty quiet on this subject and a few days ago I found mine dead, and as a consumer that bought the product I'm wondering now why I used to recommend these. I wish my doux would have just booted the other night when I wanted to test it for 5 minutes and we could have for gone finding out what's at the bottom of this deep dark scummy pond. Seriously.

Like chancer said, check your wiring. Iv had my duox2 (crom.) in my 1.6b box for well over 4 months and its NEVER failed me.

Quick side question.
I just realized the duox2 lites came out (Been out of the scene for a while).
All i hear are good things about them, are they realy that good.

[_GhOsT_]

ill tell you tomarrow when i put one in my friends box (1.6)
it should be fun

The DuoX2 and the DuoX2 Lite are fantastic chips and are very reliable and easy to install and use. Unlike some chips that are allways coming soon or in limited supply , the DuoX2 are allways in stock and ready to ship all ver the world and the new low prices are great.

Come on hippo you know as well as i that most people asking for help have flashed a wrong bios which is not the chips fault and would affect any modchip and not just the DuoX2. And with a wave of clones coming through and a new buggy beta version of a new X2 bios it has made for a few extra problems but nuthing thats a DuoX2 problem. And if a chip ( ANY CHIP ) is not installed correctly then ofcourse it won't work !  Atleast the DuoX2 chips are available and in stock in large qty for world wide sales

No all I've noticed is the concentrated effort for you, Chancer and ckh2004 to be doux spokesmen. Normal user's do not came across with statements

Also this comes from someone that has takin evox, removed the file selection options, and called it 'SPIDER FLASH CD'. Knowning full well you can not be associate with spider chip and have any credibity left. Hell no none.

QUOTE

Spiderchip developers are consistant in everything they design. From non working solderless solutions for V1.6 motherboards to SST chip programmers that are unable to program. It's hard to believe a company could put up a website and ship products of such problematic design and stay in business. I can only start to imagine the amount of emails they must recieve about non working chips

These is your own words, and if you feel that way why did you release a flash disk for them, I thought you were their spokesman or something after naming 'your' evox flash disk after them.

You seem to think that every third post doux problem is a poor install but I got some news for ya, these are not that hard to install. Since you don't really have a product of you own I'll just assume your here to call the evox spider flash disk your own invention and speak for a chip producer that's so lame a 512k chip only holds one bios.

Another point is Green Giant released the Evox flash disk in 2002 and it's available at the usual places. You can get that without the sales pitch for Doux which is a good thing.

[hippo]

Anyway at least Chancer admits there is a spurious problem flashing under Evox as well he should as this is across the board for all chips. And chk2004 will at least weigh other options.

[hippo]

You should just admit you're a Sunday chip hater without ever trying one then go back to being mod chip of the week spokes person. I won't hold it against you. Although Sunday chip is my child and I have done all I can for it and it's time to walk Sunday chip to edge of the pool and push it in and see if it sinks or swims. At least I've tried hackdabox flash disk.

[HackDaBox]

I don't like spiderchips but i do like to help people , so i think if someone has paid for one allready then i will do my best to help them install and flash it.

My Spiderchip reflash Cd ( now replaced by HackDaBox ReFlash Cd ) is a simple to use cd that any noob can quickly and easily flash their chip ( lots of chips not just spiders ) because unlike alot of us in here they have lives to live and just want to flash it once and then use their box for what it was intended ... games !

That I can appreciate because it sounds like there in no hidden agenda just some cool hard facts the way it is. When you introduce the hidden agenda then you are employing the xecutor tactic where they bought 20 plants to defend their product in the forums and on IRC against any attack and that really turns alot of 1st generation installers off.

I don''t care about pushing Sunday off into the pool it's the life gaurds under the surface holding up the other swimmers I object too. I was only expecting cheap cut rate sharks, well ya that I can deal with as it's part of the business.

The hidden agenda under the surface shit, who needs it.

Yep and I stick to it. No problems with the old style Aladdins until the advent of the 1.6 and the dodgy XT chips. this put paid to my Aladdin adventure or are you saying that I should have carried on with aladdins even when they came up against a new version which they struggled with?
I think you are way off the mark with your comments and lets face it its inyour interests to diss all other chips except your own. don't say its not because it is. simple economics.
I can only comment on the chips i use at the time and my experiences with these. I do not design chips I install them (lots of them at that) so can only speak from what i see when installing and using these chips

This occurs with the new X2 bios only (It was actually 5032 which is not new now)not with other bios files I have flashed, which give no problem

The statement you quoted referring to this is actually a simple and plain truth. Some chips are not as widely supplied as DuoX2, Aladdins probably even Spiderchips so the percentage fitted by a busy installer will be much higher than chips with a smaller production run.
Fact is I like the DuoX2 they have been very good to me as were the old Aladdins. Also fact is you can not expect everyone here to call everyother chip crap and act as sales reps for Sunday Chips. Do you think nobody notices that everytime nearly you post in a thread about another make of chip you inform the user in your reply that he should be buying your Sunday Chips.
Why do you feel so threatened because other forum members praise other types of chip? Its no reflection on the work you have put in on the Sunday chip and you have had plenty of advertising for it in here to be fair. Your thread is always near the top.
If your chips are as good as the spec appears to be then what are you so upset about. A good product will always sell, but you have to accept there are other decent chips out there as well. I don't think I have seen  a negative remark about your chips so I don't really understand why you are upset.

I dont do that and consider it a bad business practice. I've seen CubistProject join these forums on April  4 and by May 7th have 207 posts most of them about his web site and his clones. That's 7 posts a day you seem to over look his and look at my posts.

I have under 1000 posts. I've been here since March 2003. With 1000 posts I've developed 3 different mod chips and provided documentation so that even though there are 5000 clevermods out there in the scene there is no flood of posts concerning clevermod problems. I bump my bst once a day and try to keep Sunday chip news in it's thread and in it's official forum elswhere. I'm not here to push Sunday on anybody and if you are interested you can view the thread with the other 6800 viewers.

With less than 1000 posts in 2 years I've developed my own CPLD code, My own Bios, my own flash apps etc and yes you Chancer have made a significant contribution with your posts aswell.

You accuse me of being like the GR mods guy and it's been awhile since he's been around or you'd see I'm nothing like him or I would in fact jump off the Golden gate bridge.

At least you bring up some solutions and some clarifications regarding the products you talk about Chancer so that's all good.

I already got a new Doux for testing within 2 hours of posting my old one died so it's all good btw. Some local guy read the post and knows me and traded me one.
