Hi everyone help me: which mod is the best mod for 1.6 xbox,can: 1.stable,less wronly 2.run for Linux and xbox game mode 3.possible upgrading HD to 120G(300G,..500G) 4.easy for do it Thanks!
I have had great luck with ltools_v1[1].7.5_SC_NTSC splinter cell hack, and xboxhdm for HDD upgrades and repairs, and slaYers_2.6_final for for setting it up. Read up on the softmodding tuturials. Eurasia.nu is a great resource for apps and tools, check it out.
If you know how to solder, the easiest to just install a mod chip and use an autoinstaller disc to install everything on the hard drive. If not, your best choice would be to softmod. It'll be a lot more tedious to upgrade the hard drive with a soft mod in comparison to a chipped Xbox though, so keep that in mind.
Never said it was. Just saying it's a lot quicker to install a larger hard drive with a chipped Xbox than it is with a softmodded one.
Get a zenium soderless mod chip, maxtor 300 gb hd from new egg and get a copy of (a.i.d) auto installer deluxe and your on the right track.
I'm gonna clone my 200 Gig to a 400 Gig, no chips with my salsa. You didn't answer my question. Softmodding is the $h1t!
@mloyllo Have you ever worked with a modded xbox or have you only soft modded??? No chips with your salsa is pretty funny btw!!
all advice are welcome.Softmodding is curious,to solder...which chip your choose? I purchase a new 1.6 today whit hd 10g,I want upgrad to 120g,can I change in first hand?
With a chipped Xbox, all you'd have to do is install the new drive, run AID 3.0 (or Slayer's 2.6 in my case), lock the drive, and it's finished. No worrying about the EEPROM, and no need to use xboxhdm. Since chipped Xbox's can use unlocked hard drives, you can skip all that. I've worked with both and can say from experience that installing a larger hard drive is far quicker with a chipped Xbox than with a softmodded one.
If you were markpin's neighbor, he probably would have a softmodded xbox. Soft modding is 110% more difficult and riskier for the common lammer than to just put in a mod chip. peace out
zenium soderless is the latest and here's a link for the cheapest price for it "http://www.divineo.com/cgi-bin/div-us/dd-xb-goldsp.html
there are: 1.Xbox Xecuter 3 CE ModChip w/ 1.6 PCB. Works on ALL versions of Xbox!! http://www.modchipstore.com/Xbox-Xecuter-3-CE-ModChip-PCB-Official-16207.html 2.Xenium GOLD SP http://www.divineo.com/cgi-bin/div-us/dd-xb-goldsp.html ..... what is the different?
I can't do the side by side comparison but a 100 people suggested the zenium(including people that had the xecuter3), I installed it, and i am very happy!!!! Bed Time!!
Price and preference, really. I've only dealt with Xecuter, so that's why I recommended them. Also, take a look at the Xecuter 2.6 CE, since it's cheaper. The X3 you linked costs that much because of all the accessories you can get for it. They're all unnecessary for playing backups, so don't worry about them. Also, that Xenium is solderless, hence the higher price. I tend to shy away from these, but if so many people are suggesting it then it's probably a good choice.
