janders Posted May 25, 2021 Report Share Posted May 25, 2021 Guys, Is the version number given by the Hexen disc genuine and can be trusted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetdarkdestiny Posted May 25, 2021 Report Share Posted May 25, 2021 Better check the Date code. The version is roughly right but not 100%. If it shows 1.4 for example, it can also be a 1.3. But that's not because of hexen, it's because of UnleashX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted May 25, 2021 Report Share Posted May 25, 2021 The only 100% way of determining the version is to open it up. 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...
HDShadow Posted May 25, 2021 Report Share Posted May 25, 2021 (edited) Depends on the HeXEn version too. It uses a modified UnleashX dash and pre-v584 that wouldn't recognise v1.6 Xboxes so if it is using using an older version it would do the same. I have older UnleashX dashboard versions which don't recognise even a v1.4 correctly because of their age. I'd imagine the latest versions of HeXEn ie. from HeXEn 20I7 > would use a UX v584 'engine' so should be OK but the only definitive way of identifying a Xbox is. as SS-Dave just said, to open it up and check. AFAIK no Xbox version reporting tool can differentiate between a v1.2 and a v1.3. The semi-mythical v1.5 can't be identified for similar reasons.

No, open up the console and look at the motherboard's particular features to properly ID the motherboard version? v1.0 - GPU heatsink fan, 12x1 pin Power supply connector, Conexant video encoder, USB daughterboard plugged vertically into 2 connectors on the front of the motherboard. v1.1 - no GPU heatsink fan, 12x1 pin power supply connector, Conexant video encoder v1.2/1.3 - 10x2 ATX-style power supply connector, Conexant video encoder v1.4 - 10x2 ATX-style power supply connector, Focus video encoder v1.6 - Xyclops and Xcalibur custom chips, no pad layouts present to add addtional RAM. edit: v1.6b - same custom chips, etc. as v1.6. The dfiference is Hynix vs. Samsung brand 100-pin Thin Quad Flat-Pack (TQFP) DDR SDRAM chips. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
