Seems pretty cool that they lowered the wire count, but I'd still like to see the advantages this offers over just a firmware flash.  Yeah....

4 wires.. I could care less if those wires are as small as a pin hole.. 4 wires is simple! It's not really worth getting until MS takes action though. I don't get on Live very often so I'm pretty sure I'll read on Xbox-Scene first about bannings.  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

I've seen some of the Xeno chips and they are pretty good. I think this one is gonna beat the Globe360 and NME360 in price, quality and performance.

 laugh.gif   You upped it a notch in the stealth firmware, two smiley posts.

This is great for the people who can't flash their drives or are too afraid.  Personally I would say soldering even 4 wires to those IC legs is more dangerous than a 2-wire trick to get into modeB.  To each his own I guess.

4 or 5 wires sounds good.
Having said that the Xecuter homemade one is only about 10 wires and is free!
(well - about £5 for the parts!)

Very sweet!  cant wait for this one to come out.    flashing or modding a chip. either way is fatal, if were not careful.  ohmy.gif  I feel more comfortable in a chip. love.gif

It rains Xbox 360 firmware mods these days...

The wire count looks good on the other side.

I don't mind soldering a few wires, I just want a decent feature set.

I think that by the time MS has figured out a way to verify the true checksum of the hacked firmware (after all, we really won't need this until then) they will have found a way to detect these chips as well.
