But who knows what goodies may be round the corner that may require a larger bios!

on top of the pogo pins would make the most sense i think.. although it would prolly have to disable the other chip somehow right? oh well who knows.. i'm still waiting for my matrix to arrive (damn holiday mail is gonna be the death of me), but i don't think i'll be bothering with this upgrade until it becomes a necessity.

Do this about 5 times and you will be ready to solder.
Solder rules all.

Matrix(non-solder) or X-Ecuter 2(solder). I took the solder option with pin-header. Because I'm reasonable competent at soldering and liked the way it's easy to add switches plus I can use 2 different bioses. I can also easily remove the chip if necessary.
However I do know a friend who can't solder and I'm not so good at it that I wouldn't worry about frying his board. So I'll be getting a matrix for him. Or possible an X-Ecuter 2 with pogo pin adapter depending on when it's released.
Competition can only be good for us it gives us more choices and encourages inovation.
So I'm all for both chips, in the end it's us the end users that benefit.

cecuter THEMSELVES said that doing the pogo adapter was lame and they didnt want to even get into it
they are only offering it for idiot noobs like you
in the meantime i'm using the superior and cheaper x2
game on !

I agree. However, it's still an attempt to "gain market share" as our little friend above tried to rationalize. Are people who diss the matrix just pissed off that they bought a solder chip before the matrix came out or something? I don't understand all the hate towards the matrix. The "costs more" point is nonsense, the "but it doesnt need to be soldered" point is also invalid. As long as there's a strong electrical connection, it's as good as or better (no need to desolder if you decide to remove the modchip) than any of the available solder chips. The "in it for the money" line can be taken one of several ways. If they're fans of x-ecuter, then they also have to keep in mind that they're releasing a pogo-pin adapter to get INTO the non-solder market. Why can't we all agree to disagree and stop trying to bash one thing or another? I've seen one too many people in #xbox-scene and #xbox on efnet spewing lines of bullshit so that the matrix sounds bad, in favor of the x-ecuter. |
the hate is trhere cus all you noobs look at them like they did something ?
all they did was copy a FREE design and sell it for a LOT of profit - and you all kiss their asses
and xecuter are doing the pogo adapter ONLY cus they're sick of being asked for it. In their words its lame and is a disastor and will only be clear how shit it is the in the fullness of time - they also DISCOURAGE you from buying it - yeah they really wanna get you to pay as much money as possible lol
fucking idiots the lot of you

Why do people find it difficult to admit that the pogo pins was a good IDEA. It might not be the most secure way of fixing a chip, but still it was a good idea.
And please, soldering is not God, it to has its downsides.
Don't you peoplke see that both x-ecuter and Xodus teams are trying to make you believe they are the best at what they do? What they are doing is market there products (so did Nasis-X, although he really sucks at marketing).
I'm gonne say this one more time: each and every team contributed in some way to the scene, wheter you like it or not.
It's only idiots that want to feel important in life, who start bashing, solder or non solder chips.
I say it is a free world, choose what you like best.

Such as? The only downside that gets a mention is the fact that some people can't solder and screw it up, but that's not the fault of 'soldering'.
soldering is permanent (for as long as you want it to be) has far lower resistance than any pogo adapter and is cheaper. Where are the downsides?

Biosboy, I just cannot wait until the day you are banned from this forum. You make noobs asking questions like "what's a modchip?" look smart. And why is xecuter making a pogopin adapter? Not cause they're sick of being asked for it, but so they can bring in a bit more cash. Simple economics. I sure hope you're not older than 15... cause you have A LOT of growing up to do. |
try reading the post they made aboiut it themselves before commenting asshole
they're selling it at COST - yeah a real earner that one
get your head out of your ass and smell the coffee
and please ban me - you think i cant come back - stupid ass ip mask bans - if you think thats protection then you truly do belong amongst the clouds lol
