nelo_inc Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 So i opened my V1.0 Xbox to do some cleanup and was reading about TSOP, so i got the motherboard out and saw this. The Xbox boots into the Unleash X dashboard and there are no logos or other signs of a modification. The Xbox is softmodded i think, with a 160Gb HDD. I wonder what functions i can activate with the modchip and know for sure if it's working? It seems it's not doing anything. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvax Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 Looks like a very old 29-wire modchip. Best to cut that thing out and flash the TSOP, or install a more modern modchip. First thing, get a copy of the eeprom.bin There are various paths to take from there, but I would make sure the hard drive is locked, carefully remove the modchip, and flash the TSOP.

Yes a 29 wire mod chip The bios on that chip is unlikely to support a bigger hard drive and the bios file can not be updated.. You have 2 options 1: TSOP flash as described by mvax 2: Remove that mod chip and fit a newer mod chip The 2nd option is the safest and depending on thee mod chip you go for it may already have a bios that will support a 2tb or 3tb (2.2 usable). The Aladdin chips are still shipped with a older bios but it is a simple thing to update it. 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...
