Hi guys,
Ok real strange one here. I bought my xbox the day they first came out...Yeh i was sad enough to wait outside the doors at midnight!!!
My machine's a 1.0 modded with a matrix with the Xecuter2.Build.4977
Anyway I recently modded a couple of my mates machines so they could play backups of theirs. Both were versions 1.1.
I used the X.B.I.T on both the machines (Very impressed!) and used my backup of soul calibur 2 to test them.
When playing the intro screen I noticed that it was ever so slightly...and i mean slightly jumpy. Nothing at all noticible mind, just not 100% smooth and rather 95%. Small difference. Sound perfect!
So i checked the other 1.1 and yup, same again.
Put my trusty 1.0 on and it was 100% smooth like i remembered it to be.
Anyway, curiosity killed the cat and i ended up replacing my mod with one of the XBITS. Worked fine still 100%.
So out popped the original....EXACTLY THE SAME ISSUE AS THE BACKUP. Ever so light jumpiness.
Therefore it isn't a prob with the bios/mod and rather the machines......I think maybe when microsoft cut down the costs of the machine they replaced parts of inferior quality on the MBOARD.
Really can't explain this one!!!!!
I can't stress how little difference there is between the 1.0 and the two 1.1's but it is there!
