what are the advantages to having a mod chip. i just bought one off the net, then realized i could soft mod right after. so could someone tell me the differences/advantages before i install it. thx. P.S. i have just the AR disc, cuz my friend gave it to me, but what else do i need to complete the AR set? i do have a usb xbox controller converter but i don't know if i need that for the AR.
i also wanted to know if every mod chip needed to flash bios. i have a xenium gold s.p. solderless chip, does it need bios flashing?
You will need to flash the Xenium GOLD w/ a bios. There are many tutorials on how to flash your xenium and where to get bios files here: http://www.xbox-modchips.com/tutorials.html
yeah, i say a modchip is the best way to go. Some thing like swpping for a larger HDD are really easy with a modchip and a lot more complicated with a softmod.
