Planning to install this chip on 1.6 xbox and I've seen a few guides. There seems to be a few variations regarding the d0 point on the xbox motherboard.

From what I understand, grounding d0 is not needed if cut one of the traces on the lframe? Is that correct?

That's correct you can cut the Lframe on the top of the PCB near the Xyclops chip

It seem that some people say grounding the D0 on a version 1.6 is bad and may cause damage to the MCPX or the Xyclops chips, But a chip like the Open Xeniun is made to only ground the D0 when required and it allows it to be logic high at all other times.

If you cutting the trace there is no need to connect the Lframe or D0 to the mod chip.

Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

Thanks!

I ended up taking a 15(?) year old aladdin chip out of my 1.4 xbox (which I then tsoped) and followed this guide to install in my 1.6b.

Instead of the d0 wire I just cut the lframe trace.

Even with my rookie soldering skills worked perfect!

I did fudge up the BT solder pad on the chip, so for grounding BT, there's a via trace to BT and I bridged that to ground.
