The new chips have arrived. I soldered two more and now everything is fine. Successful from the first time. Apparently I'm the first one who was sent fake chips Here is a picture of the faulty chips (left) and the new ones (right). The font is different and the letters are erased by acetone. I want to ask with 128 MB of RAM, can there be incompatibility with any game? I'm asking if I should replace my main console with it or just use it for special patched games.
-
It might be It just didn't seem normal to me that the letters 3 out of 4 chips were in a different font and very poor quality, only one of them was 1:1 like the one on the console. I ordered them from here. I forgot to take pictures of the solder joints, and I can't take the console apart now just because of that. But here is a picture of another chip that I soldered today. My solder joints always look like this...

Hmmm, the problem isn't my soldering. The solder joints are more than perfect. No bridges between the pins - checked both with a microscope and a multimeter. 2 out of 4 chips are not working. I tried the non-working ones on another motherboard and they don't work there. The other two were successful the first time. I ordered more chips. It would have been easier to get the chips from another motherboard instead of dealing with these Chinese fake chips.

I flashed the bios. First chip (bank 1) - successful. The next one, which is bank 4 - failed. Does the order of chip banks matter? Were they supposed to be in the order 1,2,3,4 bank?

Thanks. So the ram chip might not be dead.. Where can I download it from?
-
Ok, I read elsewhere that cerbios supports 128MB RAM. Can I flash xblast with OGXBox Installer 2021? Xblast is bios right? Because I can't find it anywhere to download it?
-
With cerebios 2.3.1 can it boot? Because after I soldered the first chip - FRAG. The chip is soldered more than perfectly, there are no bridges between the legs, so the problem shouldn't be the soldering? Only 14 and 15pin (VDD&VDDQ) short, I read somewhere that it's normal?

Hello, I have bought chips for this mod. I want to ask if after putting the chips 1 by 1 it is possible to test if it is soldered well or do they all have to be soldered?
-
I made a PCB. Single-layer homemade. I am attaching the file (Sprint Layout) if anyone wants to make it. XBOX.lay6
-
What is the difference? What is the other chip on the aladdin board - LC4032V?
-
Thanks!

I put in a hard drive, but again there are no options other than to boot a linux disk. Anyway, I hot swapped the chip onto another modchip console and flashed it. Thanks everyone for your help. With dumped EEPROM and PC. Now to ask, I found an old hard drive that was in the xbox and it was locked (forgot to unlock it). I keep the EEPROM or HDD key. Is there a way to unlock it without a computer - in the modchip console?
-
I tried with OGXBox Installer and TruHeXEn 2021 - No boot I have already removed the chip and read the EEPROM with the RaspberryPi to prepare a hard drive with the HDD key. I remembered that I have the chipmod console in the ceiling from many years ago. Now I got it, opened it, looked closely and it has the exact same chip and connected in the same way 1:1. When I start it under the XBOX logo it says XECUTER2. Can I hot swap the chips while it's running and flash the other one?
-
I'm thinking of removing the chip, softmod (rev 1.1) and then flashing the original bios (TSOP). Which bios will you recommend me? Cerbios?
-
I searched too and can't find anything Maybe it's just because I haven't dealt with xbox extensively, just soft mod one time 1 year ago and haven't touched it since. If I remove the chip, softmod and then put the chip back in can I flash it? EDIT: Maybe this? But I will need to connect a keyboard. I also have no idea which distro to use.
