KaosEngineer Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) It's a simple Cheapmod-based modchip. It uses an SST49LF020 256KB (020 - 2,048 Mbit) flash with LPC-interface. Which specific modchip it is is hard to tell, Many were created all around the globe from "dead bug-style" mounted to printed circuit boards with or without a socket, installation by wires to LPC debug port (as your's), quicksolder castellations, or pin header. Some could be reflashed in the Xbox while others could not be. The flash memory chip had to be removed from the socket and flashed with an external programmer then re-installed in the socket to update the BIOS. Design: www.warmcat.com - pages no longer there but have been archived here - http://www.eurasia.nu/mirrors/warmcat.com/milksop/cheapmod.html Which kernel version is in use? (There are several versions of the Xecuter 2 BIOS.) What replacement dashboard is running?

MS Dashboard Settings -> System Info. At the end of the scroller, the version of the dashboard (D:) and Kernel (K:) are displayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brennyg Davies Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 Alluding xeno fx chip, can be solder directly to board instead of using wires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
