Title: What Is This Huge Mess?
Post by: shambles1980 on August 05, 2011, 05:35:00 PM: Ok this is one of those faulty xboxes i bought.
It works now so let me explain..
I used an eeprom reader to get the eeprom softmoded and locked a drive for it then put it in there and it worked just fine.
its a V1.0 Today i decided to tsop it. its a V1.0 so i have to do the points at the bottom, so I pulled the board out and fliped it over and said.
"Wth is this"

looks like some kind of cheap mod to me. But as i usualy only soft mod came to see what the verdict on it is.

Post by: lordvader129 on August 07, 2011, 04:06:00 PM: the trick to taking good pictures of this sort of thing is to take them outside (bright natural sunlight works better than artificial light or a camera flash) and make sure to use your cameras macro mode if it has one (look for a flower icon)

anyway, heres an old pic of an enigmah chip

Man that M mode thing kicks booty!

not only is it super clear. it also lets you read the thing better than you can with the naked eye!
