I have been using this for a while. Always works well. No incompatibility issues with exception is NAS drives. Which I don’t recommend using with Xbox anyway.

I don’t have any Xecuter chips left. I have: Various PSX/PSOne chips at least 30/5 different types. Ps2 chips few left… I don’t think worth installing with new software mods. 2 NEW Xstation kits for PSX Xbox: 4 - 1.6 motherboards. Excellent shape/working. Nothing else included. 20+ various working PSU’s At least 10 Xbox’s modded with 3TB to 8 TB hdds. 1 has DVD drive issue. I may fix if I have time. All have cables/controllers work flawlessly. Any caps with issues replaced. All clock caps removed/surfaces cleaned. Have basic external HDMI converters. All are hard modded with unlocked hdds. No soft mods! Couple are Tsop’d. All in good shape. Some have minor scratches. 1- Xbox portable monitor I purchased new in early 2000’s used less than 4 hours. It mounts to top of Xbox and clips at rear ridges of Xbox. Fun to play in bed not bother wife, but horrible if you intend on reading small text. I think it’s a 7 inch screen???? Intel brand. They were in plastic packaging you had to cut open. Really no way to save packaging. I bought 2. One is buried in packaging somewhere around here. I haven’t found it in 4 attempts over 10 years. I’m sure I will someday when I’m looking for something else. Chips: 2 Xenium Ice (one complete in box / one I used for softmodding) 1 Xenium Gold 24K new… Not sure I’ll sell this one. At least 25 OPENXENIUM latest run At least 12+ Aladdin chips/ various runs/versions. 3 PSU adapters that run off vehicle voltage input. 2 PC PSU to Xbox PSU control boards for powering on/off/adapting. I forget the company who made these for a while. I used them with the car PSU’s from mini pc, or picotech???? When I modded and installed some Xbox’s in cars back then without AC/DC inverters. I also used one when I built the portable handheld Xbox in 2004 I think. Might still be a link to thread on Xbox-hq dot com somewhere. I used to post now and then there years ago. Nintendo: At least 20 Pico chips 3 Wii systems softmodded with external hdds. Other Sony: Plenty of Vita pre setup 256/512 GB modded SD cards with system adapters Plenty of PSP 128 GB pre setup SD cards with system adapters 2 PSOne 5inch screens. 1 PSOne with faulty laser. I see someone replaced the laser capacitor at some point. 2 PSOne consoles with attached 5” screens with cabling/ controller and inside the over shoulder carry bags. Both with car cigarette lighter power adapters and 110/120V wall adapters. 2 PSX 1001 working motherboards with PSU and controller ports 4 Ps2 systems modded with various hdds up to 8 TB. One has the old IDE adapter, the hdd might be smaller… possibly 500GB. I don’t remember using anything smaller. The rest have newer sata adapters. 2 original backwards compatible PS3’s, factory. With nib lightgun setups. Time crisis type. Other PS3 lightgun setups CIB. Few are crysis type and 1 used CIB a/r style lightgun rifle. At least 5 hard modded PSX systems. 1001-55X 75X series 5-6 GameShark/Action Replay parallel port adapters. Sega: 3 SD card laser replacement modded Dreamcast systems. Too many Dreamcast arcade sticks, lightgun and other stuff to list. If you’re looking for something particular, ask. Arcade sticks/controllers: Arcade Sticks for almost every system ever made. Modded sticks. If it exists, I probably have at least 2. Arcade sticks custom made by me for systems that didn’t have any, or had junk, or haven’t made yet. Ask if you’re looking. If you’re looking for dirt cheap arcade sticks, I don’t have any and not willing to lose $ on them. I have more than 70. I don’t mind keeping them. I would sell some if anyone wants to pay what I did new. They are still new. Some boxes aren’t great. All have boxes except custom made from scratch by me. I forget if the Chun Lee 360 blue arcade stick was Xbox or Sony, but I installed I think the brooks board to work on both systems and PC. Its in box too. I have way too much to list on everything TBH. I just mentioned here what I have way too many of off top of head. I’ve collected since the late 70’s as a child. Repaired/designed electronics. If there’s anything anyone is looking for, ask. I didn’t list anything I’m keeping for myself. I’ll always have gaming stuff until I expire and assume room temp. No time soon! You may have something I want??? Just ask. I’m open to trades.

I could be wrong, you’re probably right about the adapter. it’s been so long since I bought them. I never used the solder less adapters. Would never trust bare wires hanging from an adapter myself. I probably have a small box of them somewhere buried in storage. The one I have was my last one new in the clear plastic Xenium case the kit came in.

Complete as in the clear Xenium box it came in with the whole kit. It came with a solder less adapter setup. I think the solder less adapters were for 1.6’s so you didn’t have to rebuild the pin header circuits. It’s been a couple decades. It’s still new. I think I may have flashed it with M8+ or M8+16 when I bought a batch years ago. I could take pictures. Why???? Do you have a new Xenium Gold????

I see this is older post, figured I would ask. I have a complete setup including everything. The Ice chip, all the dressings. Everything new that’s in your picture. In the clear factory case. I’ll trade even up for your 24K chip.

I really like that background! Can you post a link or where I can download it please?

Edit correction: I meant to type “Launch” section to “set default item”. This is where you choose the default bios you want to boot from. “Settings” is where you select “Xenium settings”, then enable “Instant boot”

Listen, ssdave has given you all the answers! Ill attempt to be a tad more specific. when you move the switch on the Xenium chip, it will boot to the Xenium OS. You have gotten this far, I see it! Bite the bullet and spend $10 on an OG Xbox controller. Burn a dvd (reads easier than old cd’s) with ANY BIOS YOU WANT TO FLASH the Xenium with. The Xenium you have has 2 virtual banks to flash 1 bios on each. Lucky!!! You can flash 2 bios’ to choose from. Now go to “Launch menu” (with the bios dvd you burned) in the CLOSED DVD TRAY. Another subdirectory will come up. Choose “add item” I believe. Choose that. One of the options in next subdirectory is flash bios from DVD drive or hdd. Choose the DVD if you have your bios disk ready. Then choose your bios of choice. Tell it to flash whichever bank you choose. Repeat for flashing 2nd bank. If you want, flash both banks with the same bios! That way if one becomes corrupt, just switch the bios boot order. If you have bios on your hdd (I always keep multiple on the Xbox’s hdd in case of emergency) choose that instead of DVD. If you flashed a bios or bios’ successfully, move onto telling Xenium witch to boot from. In the settings menu, there is a section to choose which bios to boot from. Pick your main bios. If you’re feeling squirrelly, boot to the 2nd bios at any time by entering Xenium OS. You can just boot to the second bios manually from Xenium OS in “Launch” menu, or change settings to boot from 2nd bank. It’s been like 20 years, but if memory serves I think that it labels the banks A/B and not 1/2. Not 100% positive on that. It will be obvious once you’re in there. The banks are “virtual”. I think your version Xenium has a total of 1mb to flash to. Let us know if it works for you so other people searching this thread with similar issue will have a solid answer.

How much….. I’m always trying new chips. I haven’t used these yet.

I too ordered 10 of these POS’ Ive never worked with a more horrible chip since 1996! yes, you can get them to work. However, without expanding the 256 memory by replacing the bios chip and flashing a newer bios, you’re pretty much screwed. Unless you’re willing to deal with such an outdated design and it’s limitations. I wouldn’t even buy another Aladdin if they upgraded it. GARBAGE! TOO MUCH WORK, need a programmer and ANOTHER updated larger capacity chip to obtain what most of us are looking for at this point!
