    Matrix/xodus mod chip

    Sorry but I'm new to all this chipping business. Anyway, I was just wanting to know if the matrix chip has to be "flashed" when it comes out it's box, or if I can install it straight away to play my backup games, DVDR and CDR.

    One more thing, how do you actually "flash upgrade" the chip. I assume it has to be connected to my pc but I'm not sure.

    Thanks alot.

    the chip comes blank m8, it does not come with any bios to flash to the chip, you have to have your own bios image before you buy it, and it connects to your pc with the paralell port

    pogo pins are lame

    history of the mod is lame

    its not secure 100% all the time

    flashing tool is buggy

    many have problems

    its 256k so NO support for xecuter2 kernel

    its expensive

    ill think of some more in a bit... hehehe

    holy shit, didnt know this rap, see wot u mean now, and the fact it wont support x-ecuter 2 kernel is totally lame i agree with you there.

    actualy now you mention it about the flashing tool i have seen quite a few posts about people having problems flashing it

    so the pogo pins being lame then rap, forgive me if im wrong about this but arnt x-ecuter doing a pogo pin version of thier new mod, or will they be better than the matrix ones??.

    Matrix does the job it was intended to do, so its not really lame is it!? as for being expensive, £45 for a no solder mod is fine by me.

    you wouldnt be involved with the xecuter mod by any chance are you?

    Forgive me for being thick but what are the main advantages of the xecuter 2 Kernel over whatever i have in my xecuter 1.1?

    I cant really that the xbox can be hacked much more than it has been already. Can it?

    Is it all to do with this new version console and Xbox Live?

    Gimp

    Ps, I payed £45 to get my box chipped professionally with xecuter 1.1 by the great Bald Bouncer.

    and their team have no control over whether it will support ANY new features in future ?

    yeah like me, i cant solder for shit, so if i was gonna get a NEW version xbox i would want something i could fit nice and easy AND that obviously was gonna work in the new version console, which as u know the x-ecuter is the ONLY one that can do this.
