I've just been sent the new version X-box to be chipped.

What chip or bios works with this version here

this probably aint much of a help...but try and put in some different chips, and take them out if its a no go.

I read somewhere the X-tender team were close to completing a new chip to be released in a few weeks which had overcome the M$ changes to the new Xbox.

Can't remember where tho m8 sorry

Right I've just tried the X-ecuter1.0 bios, no joy. Red and green flashing lights.

I'll check my solderings OK, which it will be, I'll move straight onto Evo2.5

Hi stusy m8, i think somewhere on here http://www.xbox-scene.com theirs some info on what works and what dosent with this new version.


unr3al.

There's an article on the PC Pro web site about this..... http://www.pcpro.co.uk/front_index.php?ip=1&page=%2Fnews%2Fnews_story.php%3Fid%3D33615

Apparently they worked it out within a week of it being released or something!

Stusy, will the change in board delay shipping any XBoxes ordered from you?!

Cheers.....

None of the current chips will work with the v2 or v1.1 as it is known by.
xecuter are releasing a new chip soon which works with it also you will
beable to chip it with a sst chip connecting it to the lcp of the xbox.
but nobody as release any of the new bios yet so you will just have 2 wait
a couple of weeks untill they do.

Not unless all the ones I buy tomorrow are the new version

There are still plenty of V1's about so you should be ok.

There is no chip available yet, however team x-ecuter have a bios ready that will work. They say that they will release this bios when they have 'finalised' their own new hardware.

Yes LPC mods will work as will removing the onboard bios and reprogramming, you chosen method I believe!.

I bought the new x-ecuter1.1 today which claims it can be used in the new xboxs

got it from buy sell trade hardware forum for £22.

Fingers firmly crossed then......!

:)

u can use the x-ecuter1.1 SteveA is selling it in BST ;)

Is the bios x-ecuter 1.1 released?

Did i say X-tender i meant freakin X-ecuter.

Few weeks m8 as far as anyone is aware

Well as far as I am aware X-ecuter V1.1 will NOT work in the latest xbox.

From V1.0 to V1.1 of x-ecuter the only thing changed was hardware and it was released before a new version of the xbox was known, so am extremely sceptical that it will work in the latest xbox. Unless they have updated the code and left the revision the same which does not sound like something wise nor something I think they would do.

damn the future looks bleek for my rouge xbox :( ill just to wait for a solution :)

stusy do you know where that box was brought from ? (shop) so i can avoid it like the plague:(.
does that also mean that all the old versions ie 1.0 have benn sold out:( , how can you tell by lookin at the box in the shop does it have manufacture date on it ?

if its my xbox they r talking about i got it from gamestation from wat i remember the box was a black colour but there was a seondhand one in the window that box colour was white/grey

i no this dosnt awnser the Q,but could you tell us either by box serial /no/date,etc

etc you can tell the diff between ver 1&2 stusy,thanks!

Right the new ones are package differently for a start.
and is date code:-

2002 - 08 - 14

Also have no seperate controller PCB and use a philips Rom drive.

thanks for the quick reply

can you be more precice on the packaging!would that be

exsternal !etc

The white ploystreyne in the old packaging was, if you can imagine at top and bottom of the X-box, now its either side. It also has a cardboard insert.

thats a shame not exsternal!

well the man in currys said he had 18 in stock!wonder if he will mind checking the polystyrene!

thanks andy!

the main noticeable diffrence is the box itself .The v2s come in a shiney black finish and the v1 come in a matt black finish.

Do they, can't say I noticed. Must be the poor light in my house. I'll take a look at that later.

Stuart

the most simplest way to tell is to lift up the packaged xbox turn it around , there is a big hole on the back , and when you look through it you can see the date it was made , how difficult is that!, if its a v1.1 then just dont buy it say you forgot you wallet :):tup: :beer:

Mine is 2002 - 08 - 16 so mine much be the v2 as well!

I also noticed the shiny black box too, must be an easy way of telling!

look here http://www.xbox-scene.com

ThoseOfTheUnlight

Has your already been moded

No, I was going to send it to you in the near future to get it modded lol!!

I'm a bit worried about this Xbox live killing your Xbox business though :(

ThoseOfTheUnlight

Not to worry I'm bulding my own bios image to fis the problem with a different evox.ini and other bits and pieces.

Any Update on the new chip yet, All the sellers near me are out of X-box's, so the new ones will soon be flooding the market.

can these xbox silvers(us) from the east be used in a uk chipped machine


cheers darren

What is the cut off date for v1 consoles? What date should I look for on the bottom of the console to ensure that I get a v1?
