Rogue Ogre Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 Greetings Everyone, I'm about to install an Xecuter 3CE into a 1.6 Xbox. Does anyone know or have an opinion on whether or not I should cut the LFRAME trace? Thanks, RogueOgre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 Cutting the LFrame trace is up to you I tend to cut the trace then not worry about the D0/LFrame wire from the chip. The theory is that damage to the MCPX chip and or the Xyclops chip could happen if the Lframe is held low for to long, The Open Xenium mod chip will only pull the Lframe low for a short period when needed and the rest of the time it's not been controlled by the mod chip. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prehistoricman Posted July 9, 2022 Report Share Posted July 9, 2022 I measured and the X3 doesn't release LFRAME like OpenXenium does. It sits at about 0.8V pulling 60mA from MCPX. The current from a dead short circuit is higher at 71mA. This Xbox has been powered with the X3 installed for >1000 hours and no sign of damage yet. But it's still polite to release that strain.
