[@psnap777]

[@aaliguy9986]

Ok, done with part 1. Part 2 here I come :)

[@honestjason7854]

Id love to see a tutorial on installing a alladin xt chip in a windom chip mobo.

[@lawrencejd8935]

Do you have successful methods to resolve FRAG problem?

[@reedbrousseau5884]

@thewheelman282 there is one advantage I can think of for a dual BIOS; so a person ca run a debug BIOS and a custom BIOS on the same machine and use the XDK to develop new software without incurring the cost of an actual debug console. Other than that, the only other scenario I can think of for a dual BIOS setup would be for the purposes of having a fallback BIOS to boot from while developing a new custom BIOS.

[@John-gk5cg]

Tsop flash or mod chip?

[@thewheelman282]

i say tsop when possible unless you have a chip with more features

[@AlDumbrava]

Looking forward to p2.

[@danielrhodes7594]

If I just want to put a larger hard drive in an Xbox do I need to do a TSOP?

[@thewheelman282]

The Xbox has to be modded in some way first. So either tsop, softmod, or modchip

[@Pvt.Joker64]

is Tsop flashing meter i mean is there a difference on performance ?

[@thewheelman282]

Firas Dhouibi not really a performance gain. Just easier on the user

[@Pvt.Joker64]

ok man nice work like and subs for you

[@woodysgeekchannel2204]

Thanks a lot for this. Helped me understand alot.

[@markholland8152]

I have xbox 360 can the tsop be changed for a new one mine will not flash erase so cannot put a chip out of a same version xbox360 board

[@thewheelman282]

modding a 360 is completely different than modding original xbox's. the info in this video will not help you mod your 360

[@pappawsnothingbettertodovi1985]

Hi, I have a question about the TSOP chip. In an effort to mod a 1.0 Original xbox, I apparently wired it wrong and cooked my TSOP chip. Is it possible to install a new TSOP chip and flash it?

[@thewheelman282]

It's possible but very difficult. You can either buy a new TSOP chip and flash it with a programmer and PC then solder it in or you can solder in a new blank TSOP chip and install a modchip and then flash the new TSOP with an xbox flashing tool.

[@pappawsnothingbettertodovi1985]

@@thewheelman282 Thanks for the promt reply. I was attempting to install an Aladdin XT Plus 2 mod chip. The only thing I can figure is that I connected my DO wire to the wrong point. Maybe. My DVD stopped working, so that is why I was trying to mod it. Thanks!!

[@RedSubaru1]

unlocked my hard drive when trying to upgrade.Next day i turn on error code 5,Kek. Can anyone recommend a modchip

[@LuisRosa72]

Excellent tutorial, thanks for all the detailed information. I do have a question though: would TSOP flashing allow me to replace the original DVD drive with an aftermarket one? I realize this is probably a moot point since I can just FTP the games to the hard drive, but I'd still like to have the option of playing my original games even after the factory drive inevitably dies.

[@thewheelman282]

as far as im aware, using a custom BIOS doesnt have any bearing on this. The main obstacle is the firmware on the DVD drive. The original drive firmware can read original xbox games while PC drives cannot unless you flash xbox firmware to the drive. The most a custom BIOS would allow is playing burned games on either type of drive

[@LuisRosa72]

thewheelman282 Alright, thanks for the information!

[@CiscoZZZ-cs7ep]

+Luis Rosa I know i super late but cant you just use dvd 2 xbox and put all your discs on the hd

[@Gator1989hdz]

What kind of solder do I use

[@thewheelman282]

60/40 lead-tin with flux core is always a good choice but other metal mixes work too. dont use lead-free solder or acid core solder

[@Gator1989hdz]

Thank you

[@SymbolicSplenetic]

If you remove the dvd drive, can you pop in a second hdd instead?

[@thewheelman282]

its not possible. the xbox wont recognize it

[@SymbolicSplenetic]

Had a feeling that was the case. Thanks for replying.

[@GlobalGames]

o meu ta dando erro 01 me ajuda

[@brandonnesfan]

Could you recommend me where to get a modchip it? I don't know where to get one and i'm scared of being scamed.

[@thewheelman282]

i think eurasia sells Alladin XT clones. they are a reputable dealer. but shipping takes a long time

[@joecampos4129]

[@brandonnesfan]

Joe Campos You forgot to put a comment there buddy?

[@wackalope9054]

I really cant seem to find modchips on ebay where should I go

[@thewheelman282]

assemblergames.com/l/threads/zer0-2k11s-mod-chip-and-installation-shop.43131/ the site is down at the moment. they are migrating to new servers. but chips are very affordable there

[@wackalope9054]

thanks ill keep an eye out

[@alexbalan_5623]

Can you guess why Microsoft decided to lock Xbox's hard drive causing not to boot to BIOS due to error from Original Xbox?

[@bshizle8410]

How about a mod chip install video for the v1.6 guys??

[@thewheelman282]

can do. i was planning this actually

[@bshizle8410]

Awesome. U just gained another subscriber.

[@thewheelman282]

thanks man. i appreciate it

[@carlossaraiva8127]

thanks for the video, it really helps to understand.. I'm trying to fix an error 12 in a soft modded crystall version which i suspect that is an 1.6... And the DVD drive just died in the same day ....

[@thewheelman282]

error 12 is DVD drive related. try reseating all the cables first

[@carlossaraiva8127]

I've checked twice and even use another IDE cable, but no success. I'm thinking buy a mod chip to remove the DVD drive itself(no use for me) and put a larger HDD. Right now i'm having issues finding mod chip for xbox.. every site i visit is out of stock, or charges a lot for a mod chip. Do you have any suggestion?

[@thewheelman282]

go here for affordable modchips assemblergames.com/l/threads/zer0-2k11s-mod-chip-and-installation-shop.43131/ they are migrating servers so the site is down right now but the guy that runs that thread is trustworthy

[@EpicFurbynerd76YO]

Doesn't the tsop let you alter the startup sequence?

[@thewheelman282]

Yes. More specifically, the custom bios you flash to the TSOP will let you do this with a config file.

[@GlobalGames]

o q pode ser

[@NeedForSpeed.2004]

Fact: newer computers use a UEFI BIOS

[@NeedForSpeed.2004]

So I was wondering how do u TSOP flash a v1.6 Xbox? Lol jk
