You have to fill up the chip. It cannot just be one 256k bios. You can fill up the bays with the same bios if you want. It should work just fine. I ended up doing two 4979 on one side and 4977 on the other to be safe. 4979.06 = < 137 GB 4979.67 = > 137 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyD Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 I guess use it to format your drive correctly and I think you lock it with that. But be sure to get the individual programs elsewhere so you get the most up to date versions. What you will need... DVD2XBox: try to get the latest 0.5.2 update. There has been some problems with it lately but the 0.5.2 tc1/2 seems to be working just fine for now. Avalaunch: Should be the dashboard of choice. MXM was pretty good but could be better and Unleash seems like it could be a winner at this stage. Avalaunch lacks in "flash" but it gets the job done perfectly. You can now download skins directly from the dashboard as well. XBMP/C: Player has been around for a while so it's the most reliable but since Center will eventually take over you might as well give it a shot.

BroChaos Veteran Posted December 30, 2003 Veteran Share Posted December 30, 2003 they had ftp built into the 4978 bios, but they've since taken it out. as of now, it's part of a program or your dashboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circaflex Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 im planning on getting a modchip, now i have xbox v.1 and i want one that i can solder in and have a siwtch, ive been looking at the X-Ecuter 2.2 LITE and the X-Ecuter 2.2 PRO, do i need the Hardware Bios Flash: programmer? i see the pro comes with it and its only 11bucks more and if i get the lite and need the programmer later one its 15 so if i got the pro id save a few bucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverUnknown Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 so i will have to install evox ?mod-chip got a switch so when its off, it will be normal ms dashboard when on it will be evox? evox or whatever dash you have set up will be used with the chip is on. when the chip is off, msdash will boot. Circaflex: you only need an external programmer if you really mess up otherwise you can flash using evox or ozflash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circaflex Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 but what modchip would be better than the lite or pro seeinghow i have xbox v1.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekrosoft13 Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 just get the 2.3b lite plus, very easy to install no soldering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverUnknown Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 it doesnt matter what version you have when deciding on pro or lite. i say go for the lite and not the lite+. i know on the 2.2lite+ it might take awhile to align the pogo pins. on the 2.3 i'm not sure. i have the 2.3lite on a v1.0 and i havent had any problems. if you're at least some what skilled at soldering, then you can wire install it in like 10min. i did the header and it took about the same time.

TruBD Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 who here lives around NY and wants to mod my box :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beh Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 I installed the xecutor 2.3b lite+ on a 1.5 xbox using an evox bios and i installed evox as the defualt dashboard. If you rename the files right then when you have the switch in the on position you would be able to boot to evox and when it is off you can boot to the original MS dashboard. Remember to back up the C partition for sure right after you install evox. Incase you put in a game and it tries to update xbox live. It might ruin the ms dashboard but if you have a backup of your C you can easily restore it. Also when you first screw in your modchip and you boot on the 1.5s people tend to get no video i didnt but if the cd drive pops out it needs a bios update so that is when you stick a cd-rw with the bios.bin on there and you should use a dummy file of about 50 megs so that the xbox will read it easier.

Damien_Old Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 question regarding a power supply mod... can you use a standard atx power supply with the 1.5 version of the xbox? or do you have to modify the pins and connections? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
