I considered that. There is a great YT video of a guy found his Dads ghost lap on Rallisport Challenge. Got to race one more lap... Given that it was all being sold, I had assumed that it had been decided just to move it on. Having experienced loss, I know it can be hard but necessary to let go. I felt it might be an imposition to mention that or suppose it needs returned in some form. You may be right though, a message to the seller wouldn't hurt.

You know, that's a good idea. Guy I bought it from on eBay was selling a friends collection that had passed away. I bought a few games were in amazing condition, only reason I bought the Xbox (it's number 3) I never even knew the guy so being a bit sentimental, but it has the guys music collection, saves etc on there. Seems brutal just deleting all that stuff. Most of us likely have nice memories of the custom soundtracks we made for our games. Burning those CDs was mind blowing technology to me at the time Playing it back to Forza was class.

Will do. Might be a couple of weeks before I get around to it. Packed away for now. Made me chuckle, easy to forget how much the world and media have changed.

There were lots!

It all works okay, no real problem there. Power button boots to flubber then a washed out Xbox logo screen with "xboxbreakers" and then what turns out to be EvoX dash (I didn't recognise the dash at first because of the custom skin) My only issue with that is aesthetics. Original question was more to do with the fact I knew nothing about the modchip and it's functions. Seems that this Xbox was modded quite a while ago. Quite funny, running through the custom skins most seem to be a variety of semi naked 'babes' of the Pamela Anderson and Angelina Jolie variety. Very 2000s

Looks good, nice and clean presentation. Support for HD+ too which might be handy down the road. Thanks for the suggestion.

Will have a look at it, thanks

What would be the benefit of that over Xenium?
-
Yes, thanks. Was looking through it later on last night. V2.0 going by eject button boot. I see there is a V2.3.1 not sure if updating is worthwhile, cannot see a changelog. I like to have latest version running, but other things will likely take priority, caps, cleaning up folders, dash and apps etc. Do you know anything about functions in later versions?

Lots to learn! I never even knew there were so many modchips. Had an OG at the time and since, but 2019 was my first modded console. You never installed the chip? I am guessing that it was releasd a while ago, the website is not active...

In the pinned "4th Generation Chips" there is a spreadsheet, a row "spotting fakes" then links to "1st, 2nd, 3rd Generation Fakes"

I am far from expert! I did a quick check from info linked in the post pinned at the top of this thread. I will have a look again and post... The typeface looks good. The 'D' has little serifs and as you say, what I assume the placement of the via, on the comparison shot looks good too.

Cool, will look into Cerbios. Xbox has an 80 wire already. All that and the chip was quite a surprise. I actually wanted a good condition stock box for nostalgia sake The 500GB came out of an Xbox with Aladdin XBlast. Used Chimp within that to upgrade to 750GB. Had downloaded those manuals from the pinned link in this thread. Will give them a read. I'm guessing I just need to check where Xenium is looking for the dashboard .xbe to have the 500GB boot okay.

Thanks for the reply Dave. Yes, it's 1.0. Bought a 1.1 heatsink and clamp, expecting the fan to be a bit noisy or failing. Caps look okay, but makes sense to swap out/remove for sure. I have a 500GB HDD here (I had hotswapped, cloned and expanded using Chimp to 750GB on another box a few years back) Would I just be able to swap that? Both HDDs are unlocked. This box boots to Xenium V2.0 with eject button. Also, curious in what way Cerbios would benefit me. Does it add much?

Just bought an Xbox I thought was stock, turns out it has a Xenium ICE modchip. Unsure what revision, just going through downloads from links in pinned posts for Gen 4 chips. It seem to be genuine, rather than a clone/fake. I'm curious what BIOS version it is running and if the chip itself has any limitations (for context I have an Aladdin modded box and a Stellar too). Seems it cannot handle 128 RAM upgrade or LCD support, I am okay with that. Xbox itself has a 128GB HDD - I may install a bigger one if that is not an issue? It's not even that obvious to me that updating the BIOS is necessary. Main thing for me is to tidy up unused files and personalise the dash. Bootscreen seems washed out says Xboxbreakers and I don't recognise the dash. i would like to change that. Cleaner boot with flubber into XBMC4Gamers likely. Anyone have experience with this modchip, am I good to go?
