WildZeo Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Hi all, glad to be here. I'm a long time games fan and recently decided to look into modding some of my old consoles.. Great community you have here and I look forward to learning more about how the Xbox works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildZeo Posted September 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 Cheers, it's funny how deep down the rabbit hole I fell after just wanting to play an old game again. I've picked up 2 cheap Xboxes and I'm just waiting for my torx set to arrive before diving in, first port of call is finding out what versions they are and removing the clock caps if needed. I've also ordered an Aladdin XT so I can try both soft and hard modding one of each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 To determine your Xbox versions see http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=367210&seqNum=2 Start with the production date and/or date code on the serial number sticker: LNNNNNN YWWFF L = Factory Production Line Number NNNNNN = number of Xbox made this week on this line in this factory Y = last digit of the year of production (200Y) WW = Week of production year FF = production factory (02 = Mexico, 03=Hungary, 05 = China, 06=Taiwan) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest just flashing the TSOP to hardmod them if they are pre-1.6. Only need to do a modchip for a 1.6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big F Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 Yeah it’s really easy. Personally I remove mod chips unless it’s a 1.6 or a really special mod chip. These days the issue with mod chips and Xbox live is no longer a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildZeo Posted September 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 Cool, I'll look in to TSOP flashing if it's not a 1.6. I'ts in really good condition so it may well be. I'm down for a challenge either way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildZeo Posted September 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 So it looks like I have a 1.3 with a Conexant video chip, and a 1.6 with an Xcalibur video chip so I'll get to use the modchip after all. Just waiting for a delivery my wire and flux. Time to get reading up on TSOP for the 1.3 then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
