Best Non Solder Mod

[seaneyb2003]

Hi,

im a very big beginer to the xbox scene and would like to know what is the best chip to use?

[Jay_83]

Hey there,

Personally I recommend the X-BIT. Works in every version of xbox out, extremly well built and doesn't come misaligned like the matrix.

I noticed your from the UK. I get mine from www.divineo.co.uk.

Hope this helps,
J

i think i might get a x2 because i like the new bios. when is the x3 coming out?? but i carnt seem to find this bios!

[kest]

definitly Xbit, i think!

completly solderless, compatible with v1.0-v1.5, transfer of files to the flash is handled by a built in USB controller...

good, isn't?

[Quall999]

x2.3b lite (lite+ for solderless). The xbit is probably the best chip out at the moment, buy unless your a dev, it is way overproced for standard use.

here's a wired question about the X-BIT. Does it have to be constantly pluged into the usb? A few things I've read were kind of un-clear

[Jay_83]

no, you only need to plug it into the usb when you wanna flash your bios

[seaneyb2003]

cool, if i do get an xbit can i use the x2 4981 bios?

[Quall999]

yup. You can actually use 6 if em if you really wanted lol.

[seaneyb2003]

i red a review on the xbit eirlier not on my comp though and it had some negatives. i try and find the review again and post it here. does the xbit allready have the pogo pins on it or do i need to buy a special one?

[MrCaine01]

if you find it post the review Sean. I don't remember where I saw it but somebody reviewed all the soldeless mods and the Chemlieon was the chip that was the best.

here ya

POSITIVE:
+ 2MByte flash size
+ 6 different bios split-ups possible and upto 6 different bioses on chip.
+ PC flashing via USB (no compatibility problems)
+ High quality PCB board
+ External adaptor with bios selector and en/disable switch+led
+ 3 ways to install it - you can choose
+ Pogopin/soldeless install: aligns very easily and stable
+ Wire-install: using connector so no need to solder on modchip
+ Optional en/disable with power-button

NEGATIVE:
- Very slow USB flashing/erasing
- HeaderPin install: Male headerpin soldered directly on X-B.I.T motherboard
- No flash disable (but you can flash via USB ... so it's really no must-have feature)
- Bug in flash software if you put window to background (will be solved soon)
- Can't flash directly with Xbox software yet (needs update of evo-x probably).
