Hi,

Im looking to get a mod chip for my xbox but Im kind of afraid cause I've never installed one on it. Here are my questions:

Its the Xenium modchip Noob friendly enough?
The solderless version (Chameleon adapter) is really solderless?
How about its live support, can I tunr it off?

Thanks for your answers,

To answer you first question, yes the Xenium is user friendly in fact it is very simple to use.  You’ll just need to do your homework first. here is a good info for you to read. http://www.xbox-scen...innersguide.php



Question 2
Depending on the version of your xbox will determine if it's truly solderless or not.
use this to determine what version box you have.

Question 3
Yes you'll be able to go live if you set you box and chip up right!

Also,

With the chameleon solderless adapter the installation is a breeze.

Basically, insert the rivets (if needed), align the adapter, screw it down, pop the D0 in and plug your Xenium and you're ready to go!

He forgot to say it's only the v1.5's you have to do soldering on

see
http://www.ozxodus.c...viewtopic&t=395

For a solderless adaptor it goes like this

On the solderless adaptor yuo'd also have a wire comming out from it to the D0 point. (See this manual for details http://www.ozxodus.c...p=getit&lid=11)

you will need to do this much soldering at least (if not more!) for any chip you get if you have a v1.5 motherboard inside your xbox.

But once it's done you can easily remove the chip (if needed) without damaging it (since there's no real need to solder to this chip)

See this manual for xenium install instructions

Yup!

Sorry, forgot to mention that about the 1.5's

Also, the Marc Madness sale is on @ modwhiz.com

Won't find any cheaper pricing anywhere!

Just to add.. I believe the DMS Xbit chip is solderless for every version of XBOX (incl 1.5), not to say that I would recommend it. smile.gif
