Dougmeister Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 It has literally been over 10 years since I've played it. One of the bootup screens says "Xecutor2" at the bottom, so that tells me that much at least. My main question is the three (3) dip switches on the front of the console. Someone else installed it for me, and I forget what each of them does. I think that the left-most one controls whether or not the modchip is active; you wanted to toggle that one off if you ever went onto XBox Live, I think. Can anyone help?

SS_Dave Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 A pic of the chip and switches would probably help, Is it something like this Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

Dougmeister Posted January 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 I'll try to get a pic, but I know for sure that the LED only turns red and green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougmeister Posted January 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) Here's a pic. Please let me know if it is not clear enough, or if you need another angle, etc. Edited January 23, 2021 by Dougmeister Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 That looks a bit like a X2.3 modchip 1 of the switches is chip enable and disable there is also a bank 1 and 2 and write enable/disable to stop it been reflashed it probably will need the BIOS updating as it will probably not support a large hard drive. If you have the switch on enable and bank1 will it boot? Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

Dougmeister Posted January 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 Thank you! >1 of the switches is chip enable and disable there is also a bank 1 and 2 and write enable/disable to stop it been reflashed So, really, unless we ever try to re-flash it (for a larger hard drive, etc.), the only switch that matters is "chip enable/disable", correct?

Yes and if you need to reflash that chip you need to combine the 2 bios files into one 1024kb file then flash that.

KaosEngineer Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 Xbox version determination - I use this online 4 page article: Identifying Your Xbox Revision. For Xecuter2 modchip identification, I use the xbox-scene.com's Modchip Generation 3b table archived by the Wayback Machine: http://web.archive.org/web/20050207140323/http://www.xbox-scene.com/modchips3b_table.htm and the picture pages linked at the bottom of the columns in the table.
