As I said though I have the game running of a dvd-r so changing those files would have done nothing because it's for people trying to have it read off the harddrive though at this point I wish I was running it off the hdd.

Ah sorry missed that part, well dang.. thats a bummer man.. Maybe after christmas the xbox's will actually be in stock.. I tried two big retail electronics stores and they were both out.. (this was for a gift).. But i'm sure all the stores that ordered a crap load to fill this last week of madness before christmas will have some leftover and you might be able to get some good overstock deals.

well I'm hoping I can get lucky. The only problem with mine is that the chip fried. I need to get an x2.3 lite and I'd be back in business and then I would realistically just need to get my hands on a new chip for my gf's xbox but that can wait a bit longer. Thing is the x2.3 lite is friggin out dated and I dunno if the x2.6s use the same wiring set. I may have a spare x2.3 lying around but I don't wanna cook that sucker by mistake.....I wanna know why it was smoking in the first place actually.....I know it wasn't the motherboard...at least I don't think it was because she still powers up fine and just gives me thew error codes and there isn't smoke now.

error code 16 means the dashboard may be corrupt. Right best thing to do is take the mobo out. strip down the xbox take all the crap wires out. Wack a new 2.6 or 2.3b in and boot it. Make sure the modchip doesnt touch the metal shielding of the xbox otherwise this could spark and maybe blow!.

well thanks Sean...you just informed me how I smoked my chip. Anyway does the multicolored wires for the x2.3 the same for the x2.6? the 9 wires you soldier to the lpc ports and to D0 switch and the like? If that's the case I just need a new chip with a new set of switch wires.

i think so i would double check if i was you. go on www.teamxecuter.com and ask they will be able 2 help with that. All you will need is a new chip nothing else has blown up!
