madmon Posted June 6, 2020 Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 Hey guys I have a 1.0 and i've been reading about splinting the 1mb tsop. I plan on just having 2 banks of 512k and have one with x2 and the other with IND. I understand that depending on which point I solder to I need to cut the trace(example a18/19). I am just double checking regarding the process. 1)once the switch is install and I select the bank(ground A18) then power on with hexen in the drive do I just go about and flash it the IND 512k bios? 2)What would happen if the switch was in the off position (middle position on a 3 position switch) where nothing is being powered or grounded? any inside would be great. And if it is a bad idea please let me know. This is the guide that I found to be most informative but I still have a few questions. https://web.archive.org/web/20150929093339/http://xbox-scene.com/articles/tsop-live-1mb.php aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted June 6, 2020 Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 Because the trace has been cut it could change state (high or low) at any time. I would use a SPDT switch thats on/on so the n A18 will be either high (3.3 volt) or low(0 volt) and not on/off/on switch There is no harm in adding the switch as it do the same job as some modchips. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmon Posted June 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 Thanks Dave. You actually cleared up so much for me. I was confused as to why a lot of people were using on/off/on spdt switches and it just dawned on me, so they can split the Tsop into 4.
