there was no BS against iriez, just true facts...
I don't see why modmakers bother making new modchips now,
homebrew scene is near the end imo, all emus have been ported, xbmc is almost perfect, every dash is full of features. I dont think modmakers will re-invent the wheel.

phigmeta,  the X3 forum was removed because of the childish people ranting about in there.  It was getting rediculous.  I assume that is why, even though I not spoken direcly with xecuter about it.  I am not going to continue with this as it is pointless.  This entire topic/thread had gone to waste.  It began that way and it will fonish that way.

slappy00, you're right.  It all began as a community effort and fomr there, spread outwards.  "Bunnie" did amazing things and other helped.

I too will probably go for the Xenium chip as well.  xecuter, the mod over at their website is extremely unprofessional on the board.  You ask a question and he's like "duh - obviously it's this!".  Extremely unprofessional and has an attitude.

the "comparison chart" is ABSOLUTELY stupid! it is just a horrible marketing attempt to downplay the Xenium... but honestly... what were they thinking???!!! guess what? MOST people who hack and mod the xbox are NOT morons like the rest of the world... wink.gif they are soooooo arrogant!  dry.gif

alot of people have been complaining about the fact it loads into its own os first... i think that is good because you have a failsafe....  I think OsXodus realized the need for modchip to have reliable failsafe so n00bs like me don't screw up their xbox.  laugh.gif

lookformeb...I realize that and am able to get 90% of the stuff I'm looking for fixed by myself, but when I ask some more advanced questions that's what I get from him.  I'm sorry but he's a JERK.

I have to say though, that kind of attitude is acceptable if you're doing something for nothing and that's why developers can get away with it, but someone who's making these modchips for money really can't afford to be unprofessional or there will be a lot of backlash (as seen in this thread). I don't know the whole situation, but were I selling something, I certainly would know better than to rip into people for asking dumbass questions, because in the end, you want to make the sale, not push people even further away.

defensive no ..... still pissed about executers rude and arogant additude. yes .... and oddly you additude truly does drive my point home.... not even a shard of humility about the last 3 revisions that have HAD to been done to the x2 .... not even able to admit the screw ups of the executer team. I am more than willing to admit that sometimes i get a little hotheaded ... and the executer team has the right to call me on it .... but they never did they just added fuel to the fire .... not so smart ehh

I didn't "admit" to design flaws because I was not involved ina  dispute where that was the topic.  <edit: point proven by Xeero, there were no design flaws>

MS puts has put out 4 service packs on Windows 2000 (arguable the most stable OS from MS) and people don't cry about it.  No one if perfect, there are flaws in every disign of anything...

If you get hotheaded at teamxecuter.com, you will not get any attention.  If that what you did, then that's probably why actions were taken.  Once again, I am not a spokesperson for Team Xecuter so I am going to leave this thread now.  What's done it done...

I don't think the Xecuter2 had any design flaws, nor did the Xecuter2.1...nor did the 2.2.  They would all have worked just fine for an indefinite amount of time had new versions of the Xbox not been manufactured.

And no, I don't think users were entitled to free upgrades just as MS offers free service packs.  There were optional, cosmetic, and noncritical changes made to the Xecuter chips.  Did MS give me a free upgrade to Windows 95B after I purchased Windows 95A??  Nope.

QUOTE
but the desighn flaws i am refering to are the fcc cable


The FCC wasn't a bad idea.  We needed a method to connect an externally mounted and accessable connector to the chip on the inside of the XBOX.. and one that wouldn't require putting new holes in the XBOX.  The FCC was Ideal for that application.  Thin enough to exit via the video port hole.. long enough to make the connection.

The fact that a few people had ones with broken lines/wires in it isn't a unique problem to the FCC.  Any cable made can have these problems.

QUOTE
...... the bad external adapter


How bad was it placing an external connector that could connect to 99% of all PC's in the world?  (most still have onboard LPT ports.  Again.. this was an ideal and cheap method.  Flashed hundreds of XBOX units via this method.

Personally.. I think the rear mounts connector/switch made is risking to port around. But like any electronics.. when due care is taken..  smile.gif

QUOTE
.....the horible usb thing ........


If you speak of the power via USB.. it worked well for me.. however.. it's a design concept they have rectified with the b revision.  I expect more revisions.  That's not a bad thing.

QUOTE
but that aside there are many design flaws that could have been corrected had they choosen a more elegant design


That can be said for anything and everything in life.

-------------------------------------

Does Xecuter have alot of options (some say too god damn many) sure.. but I have a choice. I can spend the bucks.. get their chips.. get the included switches and toys they provide.. or.. I can grab a chip from a competitor. (that may or may not have less or different features.

I will be buying both the Xenium.. and the X3.  Both look and sound outstanding.  My customers will be asking for both of these chips (they already are).  What they won't be asking for is Alladin, Akira, Applex, cheapmods. Why? Ignorance? Lack of Features? No promotion? Proabably a bit of everything. In the end.. these are the 2 chips.. from the only 2 chip makers that are really viable.

They'll continue to sling mud at each other.. quote specs real and imagined.

In the end.. I'm only going to care if they both make a chip that works as it's advertised.

After all.. we've already seen chips not do that (XBIT with it's flash problems.. x2 Fakes that are 1/3 crippled)
