So we all agree that the Chameleon is the best chip out there to date

It offers the best and most unique features offered so far.

ha says who?

chameleon will crush  the x2 and x2.1 (which is not really a new mod 2.1 is just a revision)

you people are missing out the stuff that are new

Software controll (most importnat in my opinion)
auto flasher feature (no programmer needed, just a CD with a bios of your choice)
3 ways of installation,
development features ( controllable led, banks, and stealth selection of bios)
Built on TSOP access/Flashing
Built in Chip Control disable with front panel buttons (good for a fast live boot)
and more...

I have gathered info on the stealth feature and it is not what you think it is (it not intended to hack LIVE, that would be a disaster)

Its all about opening the way to developers to use a second bank after the bootup of the first one. E.G mode 2 is 2x512k, and you can select a setting to tell the chip to enable the stealth on that mode
when you reboot your xbox the chip will boot the primary bank of the chip and the switch to the secondary bank of the chip but have the first bank loaded in ram, this will leave the deveopers to use the second bank for either hiding the first bank (when reading it from the LPC bus) and also helpfull to hold an M$ bios (unpathced) for future RAM hacking etc,

All this info is collected from my IRC talks, emails from xodus (the mode part) and peoples ideas,

again dont expect a chip to hack live with a simple hardware hack, it will need some smart software to run first before that happends,

back to my point,

This chip has alot of potential, it gives the scene a lift both with features, price and durability

I say thumbs up for Chameleon

x2.1 has sofware control using FlashX


stealth is bollocks


tsop access requires extra point to be soldered, so um why not just solder them anyway.


i'm no xecutor fanboy, just pissed off with the hype over this chip that people have waited 4 months on pre order to actually get, and still only 5 people have them. i hate easybuy grr.gif

x2 is far from dead as 1) people actually own them 2) easybuy aren't in charge of them 3) because i say so smile.gif. my xecutor pro has stealth function too it's called dip switch 4

FlashX does not offer Software *Control*
It only allows bank bios "flashing" not switching or selection

No disabling the chip
No TSOP control
No Evox Support ! <--- this is important!

Shows what you know.

I too would like to find out smile.gif. Xantium posted something about the Evolution-X Dashboard "recognizing the Chameleon," but was pretty vague about it. I read one review about adding something to evox.ini. I guess we won't find out until we get our chips  biggrin.gif .

listen fanboy

first of all flashx is a free app just to show X2 customers that we still support them even tho we're working on a LOT of new stuff - way beyond what you have right now. So if this is wrong of us we apologise rolleyes.gif

and for you to say no evox support really is a little retarded - that is up to evox to add not xecuter - if they want to be anti-scene and only support one device then thats up to them - but of course you can run flash x from a cd or ANY dashboard of course - its functions are not tied simply to one dashboard - we have made all the source code available to all the dashboard groups - and they can add anything they like of ours - dashboards will be what they should be - opensource. Then you will see an end to anti-scene behaviour regarding dashboards and bios's.

anyway, flashx is just a small app we did for fun - it needs a few more things adding to it and fixing - but the point is it works and again its free for those that want to play with it - with no need to buy any new hardware.

X2 will not have XBE software control (at the time it was the latest and best - of course things move on and improve) - however it does have software control from PC - and it has had this since the beginning 8 months ago. We always have to try and improve and better the last design, which is exactley what we've been working on for the last couple of months. Ppl posting X2 is shit X2 is dead etc etc doesnt really help matters and doesnt really make them look very intelligent - in fact what they are really saying is that its taken 8 months for anyone else to come up with anything to compete - So see you soon with an X3 review, then you can enjoy that being the best for another 8 months until someone decides to attempt to better that too......

smile.gif

now no bitching or tantrums ppl - use your mods and enjoy them. chameleon have finishd their next stage of dev - we're just starting - so there is lots more for you to enjoy and play with very soon.

bah...all chip r the same:P as long as u can get a flashable chip...x2p/x2l or chameleon, basically all the same. Chameleon is just better because it's newer. xecuter will com out with something a few month from now then xodus a few months after and vis versa..maybe every 8months they will fight back and forth until xbox 2 comes out and then the battle beggins all over again. It's good competition and fun to watch and see how good people are getting. but whne it came down to it a few weeks ago i went for a chameleon:( newer, more options, killer price...mod with all option+ a few more and cheaper than a much cheaper than a x2pro...dizzam...

EASY BUY 2000.COM MONTREAL QC
$30.50 US DOLLAR

YOUR CREDIT CARD STATUS:  accepted

YAY!:) Just today...wonder when it wil chip out...not tracking number yet...maybe later this morning...get it by sunday is my guess...i can spit on the easybuy building form my house:P
