The wise consumer chooses: Xbox 360 modchip roundup |
Ó
Want to mod? Not good with tools? Want versatility? Well that's just great. A modchip roundup is just what you need then. Keep reading, and enjoy the info!
The first modchip in this humble roundup is the Xeno 360 DVD Patchmod. Depending on your drive type, you'll need to solder a different number of wires, so it's definitely not for novices to modchips.Here are the specs that have been dug up so far:
- Patchmod for XBox360 DVD Drive
- Original firmware stays unchanged
- No flashing or damaging of your firmware
- T/S drives 4 wires
- H/L drives 5 wires
- One chip for both drives
- Supported drives: T/S MS25, T/S MS28, H/L DJ46, H/L DH46, H/L DJ47, H/L DH47, H/L DJ59, H/L DH59
- SS required at offset #FC021E (NME-Style)
Next up is another creation from the Xeno 360 team. It's called the Xeno 360 Lite Patchmod. While it doesn't exactly look lite from the picture, it's definitely lite in the sense that it's restricted to Toshiba-Samsung drives at the moment. As for specs:
- Auto boot NME360 type backups.
- Auto boot original games.
- Xeno 360 will disable patching if an original game is detected.
- Samsung drives: 4 wires
- Patchmod for XBox360 DVD Drive
- Original Firmware stays unchanged
- No flashing or damaging of your firmware
- Supported drives: T/S MS25, T/S MS28, (Samsung Loader)
- SS required at offset #FC021E (NME-Style)
The next one we're listing is rather strange, as the description makes it seem as if it works on PS2s as well as Xbox 360 units. It's Infectus' Full Firmware Replacement Chip with Key-Patching for Xbox360. As far as we can tell, it also happens to be a PS2 emulator, though we could be mistaken. Here are the modchip's features if it catches your fancy:
New modchip - xbox360/ps2 USB2.0 ready by origa brother- USB2.0 Ready
- Flash on board: 512KB
- Read and write from DVD flash
- Read and write from chip flash
- 100% Emulate O2MOD PS2 modchip (is in test atm)
- Test BSDL (to releave bad solder chip and flash)
- Double PinOut: xbox360 (addr0-18 e data 0-7) and for PS2 (MNOPQTUVRWJXYABGIF)
- Functions as a GLOBE360
The All 360 Full Replacement Firmware Chip with Key-Patching looks to be the simplest of the modchips in this roundup, though the words use are still scary and techie for novices. Here are the specs:
- PlugandPlay: You don't need to extract the drive-key from the original firmware of drive on your console. Just install the chip and the "unsigned" firmware on-board will boot .
- Firmware-drive Upgrade: you can use an upgraded firmware for better performance of your DVD-drive to reading DVD-R DL support (ex: you should use on LG/Hitachi the firmware vers. 059 instead your original 047D or 46D).
- Electronic Switch ON/OFF: enable or disable the chip when turn-on your console by power button, you can check the state of chip by a led-indicator.
- Easy to reprogram Flash eprom: the on-board flash eprom is mounted on a socket connector for an easy and clean remove in order to quickly reprogram it.
- Compatible with all DVD-drives on the market (LG and SAMSUNG).
- Low wire count, 4 or 5 wires
- One chip for Toshiba-Samsung drive
