Hey all! 10 years ago I bought an Xbox with a modchip installed on. I didn't use it much (meaning I barely used it at all). Lately I decided to dust it off. I started by removing the clock capacitor. From searching around the internets I came to the conclusion that the installed modchip is an Aladin, but the modchip itself doesn't have any identifications on it. My questions are: 0) When talking about BIOSies, are they modchip bios or the Xbox's bios? 1) I have used the HeXEn 2018 disc and I saw that my modchip (or is it the Xbox?) has the EvoX M8 bios. Is this different from the M8+? 2) Should I try upgrading to M8+ (if it is different) and how can I find if my modchip (or is it the Xbox?) has a 256 or 512 KB bios? 3) What does it mean if an HDD is locked or unlocked? (Mine says locked) 4) I found an old IDE HDD 160GB of mine. Can I just put it inside and install a dashboard with HeXEN so I may get the capacity? 5) To go to the custom dashboard I have to keep the power button for a second and during boot it will have an "EvoX" logo on the upper left corner. If I push it momentarily the Xbox starts as the is no modchip installed. Is this going to be a problem somehow? Thank you for your answers!
