killscr33n Posted April 21, 2020 Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) Planning to install this chip on 1.6 xbox and I've seen a few guides. There seems to be a few variations regarding the d0 point on the xbox motherboard. From what I understand, grounding d0 is not needed if cut one of the traces on the lframe? Is that correct?

That's correct you can cut the Lframe on the top of the PCB near the Xyclops chip It seem that some people say grounding the D0 on a version 1.6 is bad and may cause damage to the MCPX or the Xyclops chips, But a chip like the Open Xeniun is made to only ground the D0 when required and it allows it to be logic high at all other times. If you cutting the trace there is no need to connect the Lframe or D0 to the mod chip. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

killscr33n Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Thanks! I ended up taking a 15(?) year old aladdin chip out of my 1.4 xbox (which I then tsoped) and followed this guide to install in my 1.6b. Instead of the d0 wire I just cut the lframe trace. Even with my rookie soldering skills worked perfect! I did fudge up the BT solder pad on the chip, so for grounding BT, there's a via trace to BT and I bridged that to ground.

SS_Dave Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 I would not complain about that solder work at all.. 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...
