You can flash the XBOX with either a homebrew 28 wire DIP mod chip or the XODUS, its your choice. Using the XODUS Matrix is slightly easier though. Check out the links in my webpage for good tutorials on how to flash all your friends XBOXs with one Matrix mod chip.

1st: TSOP flashing and Homebrew Mod-Chips;

First of all the rule about never flashing your TSOP HORSE-SH!T!
It doesnt really matter just remember to save your orig bios, that way if anything does get screwed up all you have to is stick the homebrew DIP32 chip back in there and reflash the TSOP to whatever you want.  My point being, use the TSOP its alot more stable but always keep your hombrew chip and socket handy as a failsafe.

2nd: I must brag about my XBOX daughter board I'm desgining;

It hooks up to 30 small solder points and 12 huge solder points;
Onboard it has USB headers, one DIP32 socket, and switches to enable boot from dip32 and TSOP flash protect on and off.  In the future I plan to put connections for a standard keyboard and mouse, the only problem with this is, I don't know how, I've heard about a controller chip and using the LPC bus but no solid info, if anyone has any info on this it would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Here's an even better idea.

LPC Multi-I/O expansion card I am working on an LPC Multi-I/O expansion card, currently out to board fabrication. The card features a FLASH ROM, a 16 Mbit development NVRAM, a real time clock, a 9-pin RS-232 serial port, a PS/2 keyboard port, and a PS/2 mouse port. This card will, if I'm lucky, provide users with the ability to write their own ROMs and code for the Xbox, and only require users to solder on a single 16-pin header. Other features that I could add include a floppy drive, parallel port, and another serial port. If you think any of these could be useful for your development work, drop me a line and let me know. However, there may be some issue getting interrupts to work over the LPC header because the type included on the Xbox seems to be the "debug" type instead of the "legacy expansion" type. Once I have tested its basic functions, I will release the schematics board layouts, and bill of materials for free, and perhaps produce a few for people to buy. I will probably step the board at least one more time before releasing it, or possibly producing them with Xenatera Partners. If I do go to production, the boards will be sold strictly as LPC Multi-I/O cards, as they can be used with any PC chipset that supports an LPC header. No code or ROM will ship with the cards--you can probably buy the ROM from someone else if you need it. I will post more info as soon as I have it! Stay tuned...

If you don't know where this came from I suggest you do some research.

ok, My opinion is you are just a cheap person if you flash the TSOP. Everyone here has an opinion, that is mine. Second, what happens when you go to flash the TSOP and something happens? Power surge, sibling bumps the power button, whatever, and you have a dead TSOP.. wow, guess you are really in some trouble if you want to fix it.. or you WILL have to buy a modchip then. Sorry, I will stick with my PC-Bioxx I got the day LS shipped them and have not had a single problem with my XBox or modchip since install.. and I have torn it apart more times than most people here, plus cut the hell out of the lid with the dremel, installed cold cathodes, rewired several times, even had a X-Ecuter1 before PC-Bioxx, and no probs with that either.. I will never participate in flashing the tsop, $40-$50 in nothing to me and I will gladly pay that for an extra bios rather than screwing mine up. And guess what, I have a 1meg bios also, so I can do the 4 bios switch if I cared to.. so that is not a TSOP only feature.

As far as live goes, just set up the multibios. One Switch.

And its not going to be accidently flashed cause i have a backup evox.ini for flashing, and my normal one has no flash option

Flashing the tsop is the way to go.

(and 'IF' it should ever get fucked up, I'll make a cheap mod, or order chip)

[sir-aseman]

if the tsop is badly flashed  
(which has never happen with me either...)
u juste have to put in the homebrew modchip and reflash tsop   and the tsop will be safe
u have no idea about what u r talking about so please  stfu   thx

why o why do people bang on about things they know nothing about...

Im sick of hearing that you cant go one live if you flash your tsop....

either split the bios and use a switch or even once your tsop is flashed leave your homebrew in, program it with the standard bios  and stick a switch on it

simple as

Oh i liked this retarded post....
"what happens when you go to flash the TSOP and something happens?"
well fuck we all take chance's in life... what if i decide to drive and get killed, what if i nut in a bitch, what if i jump off a building....
the thing is shit happends....
I flashed 4 TSOP's and they all work great. none of the people that i flashed for even know how to flash.... so the option is not there...
