Hi I paid some guy to install my modchip. He said he installs X-ecutors. He never said version 2 or 2 Lite or 2 Pro. He did put a on/off switch which I thought only the X-Ecutors 2 have.

Anyways I installed Evox and when starting it says "Matrix inside"

When Evolution X loads it says:

Bios: X-Ecuter v1


Also if I go to on system settings in Evox it says:

Bios
===
BIOS Version X-Ecuter v1
Kernel Version 1.00.4034.01
Xbox Hardware Info 00000001


If I run Bios Checker it says: You are using genuine ----> X-Ecuter


Ok so everything shows like he put a X-Ecuter v1 modchip?. The first ones that came out?

Now what problems does this modchip have?


Here are some problems I have noticed and I'm not sure if they are chip related, or bios related or media related.

Spider-Man game ProjectX release: movie will freeze when starting the game. Pressing start quickly and skipping the movie allows the game to play.

Ralisports Challenge ProjectX release: Game says it could be dirty or damaged when starting gameplay. In certain modes of gameplay the game seem to work fine though.

Sega Soccer Slam ProjectX release: It freezes starting the game.

Now these games weree burned using DiscJuggler latest version and PrimoDVD 2.0 and I got the same results. I tried TDK DVD-Rs and Verbatim DVD-Rs and DVD-Rs.


Now running Spider-Man from the HD causes the movie to freeze...
Running Sega Soccer Slam from HD seems to work fine. And I haven't tried Rallisport Challenge from HD yet.


Now I know this is a long post but I'm not sure whether it could be my modchip, or my bios or my media. Anyone got any ideas or had the same problems and got them fixed?


I have a V1 Xbox and a Pioneer DVR-A05U burner.

Its bad release, bad media / bad burn. Nothing to do with ur x-cuter modchip.

Yea that happened to me a couple times. the reason sega soccer slam worked when u ran it off the hd is probably because when the dvd drive can't read a certain part of the disc it just skips it. Making it not freeze at this part, probably just a music file.

Happened to me with THPS4 it had a scratch on it and i was unable to play it off the DVD drive, i copied it to the Hd and it worked, except no music (a couple songs worked just really skippy), and some movies were missing.
