Honestly i have never used a X3 but the modchip has alot of complexity in the hardware that i feel doeasnt add value. Separate eeprom, separate flash chip, external buttons etc. I can understand why they are there but xenium doesnt need any of that and it works fine. It just makes development more expensive for me on top of actually having to buy one in the first place.

There were so many chips out there and Xecuter had a really good name. Xenium's were really good as well and from what I remembered there were only 3/4 top notch chips. The only reason I went with the Xecuter is because of the nice front panel that clicked on the xbox and that I could see clearly I could go onto Live or not. They were just there with really nice solutions and mods. But Ryan didn't choose the Xenium for nothing it had a good reputation. And lets be honest back in the day no one wanted a clone and now no one can wait for his (me included). What do you really need an Xecuter for these days when we finally have something thats fantastic and really better then these Aladdins.

One last update, but you can consider this one optional. It's an updated timecycle. I wanted to keep the bright blue midday of the original game with the gradient sunrises and sunsets, as well as the darker nights I originally released this mod with. This one also comes with updates to make rainy, cloudy and foggy weather a little more consistent with their corresponding times, and includes updates to atmospheric and object lighting. If you're happy with the current timecycle, feel free to skip this, but I encourage you to try both to see which you prefer as I think this one is a lot better in general and has a pretty heavy impact on the look of the game. The first link comes with every file you need for the mod, and the second is just the timecycle file itself. For the first link, follow installation instructions in the readme. They're the same as they always were. For the second link, just extract the .rar and drop the timecyc.dat file into your data folder to overwrite the old timecyc.dat.

Indeed, but I dont own one and dont particularly want to buy one especially now that I have unlimited Xeniums

One more update, this should be the last one, at least for a while. Had a lot of fun with modding Vice City, but I've done most everything I wanted to without resorting to changing values in the .xbe. If I ever figure my way around fixing some of the incorrect alpha effects or the widescreen implementation, you guys will be the first to know. 1.5 updates: Updates the "Frankie" (100% completion) outfit New suits for Sonny and Ken Rosenberg Stronger vehicle reflections Foliage color adjusted Replaces the targeting reticle with something a little less obtrusive Installation is same as before, this .rar contains everything you need. There is no need to download the older versions listed above. Download
