Xbox that cant be chipped ?

[coffin filler]

Again thanks for the in depth info. I guess it makes sence for me to do this on my own thinking about it. (i enjoy building up PC'S so i guess the next logical step is to sort out my sons X-box instead of getting "mr chipper" to sort it. Thanks for the link. Ive had a look on their and its was down to seeing the in depth tutorials that made me decide to do this myself. You have been a great help.Thanks from me and my son will undoubtly be over the moon once i sort it for him.

Why would MS even build xbox of lower quality? Thats nonsense all the way.

Having put it like that i felt kinda for even alowing it space in my thoughts lol.

My guess is that he may have just done a tsop flash? Do you have a radio shack switch or can the chip be turned off?

As most people know, 1.6's don't have tsop's. If he did that to your modded xbox, then I hope you hadn't payed too much. Takes about 5 minutes to install and a cost of 0 extra dollars, unless he had a switch put in. It could also explain why he said that "it coudn't be modded". He probably just did want to waste any expenses, even if it just costed you more.

Oh my, never thought of that he could be doing TSOP only...
But still, claiming that the xbox can't be modded is stupid, all of them can be in one way or another...

Im unsure if i made myself clear in original post so here goes....1st Xbox he chipped no probs. There is no switch as such that im aware of though. I do remember him telling me that it could be "Flashed" in the future. 2nd XBOX and he just said out right "it cant be done" (This is a shop retail Xbox and because of that obviously no work of any kind has been done to it). I hope i have made it clear enough. So just to get it straight in my head.What he said about Xbox's that can not be chipped is poo poo right ?. Like i said in previous post i was under the impression that all X box's could be "chipped". Thanks for the help guys.

Yes all xbox's can be chipped. What Quall999 was refering to was the built in BIOS on the xbox. In version 1.0-1.5 they are stored in a bios chip called TSOP but that was changed to 1.6. That TSOP could be flashed with the bios of your choice and that way no need to buy any modchip. This would of course remove the original xbox bios completely. But Quall999s theory was that the guy had flashed the TSOP and not put in any chip.

To make things extra clear:
you can chip your 1.6 xbox without problems. Do some reading and you will find out how to get, what to get and where to get what you need.
And that chipper of yours is talking poo poo yes.

Cheers
