As someone who came into the scene at the same time the Xbox was getting modchips and softmods, I tend to take my software knowledge of it for granted. Hearing you say that the software side was a bit cumbersome and sometimes confusing but not the actual hardware modding made me chuckle because Im the exact opposite. I have no problem with bios,dashboards, hard drive upgrades, etc but the thought of soldering is just something I dont have any skills in. Tried to do a Wii modchip back in the day and ended up paying a friend. Love all the videos! Anything original Xbox on this channel is an instant watch. Also, for those who see this and get this chip. Give insignia a try! Its a fantastic service that will only get better with more members! Amazing to see the setup utility included.

Nice video 👍 I got my Stellar and installed it into my main Xbox, a debug kit shell with a 1.4ghz CPU board. For me, the CPU being supported it really nice. It negates having to patch each game individually. It's an impressive piece of hardware, and I'm excited to see what new features are added over time. One thing that really makes this modchip stand apart from others is that it recompiles the Xbox bios at boot, and has a dual-core ARM processor on board. This means it can patch routines in the Xbox's bios without needing to re-flash, and it has extra memory and processing power, which opens up new possibilities. My main gripe is just that some features aren't there yet (that were put on the features page as if they were present) but I trust they'll be added over time. Definitely a project to keep an eye on.

The soldering skill needed to mod the OG xbox is still the major wall to entry. What they really need to mass produce is those easy solder ribbons of theirs. The HDMI mod soldering is especially daunting not that the d0 point is easy either. (personally I lifted the pad when I did it an had to solder a bodge wire, which make that easy kit impossible)

Even if theres more to the OS, the vast majority of the code is still unmodified microsoft code, so i kinda hate when people market these custom distributions as unique OSes, because they are still the exact same OS, just with different apps.

Not only that, its essentially a raspberry pi running its own operating system, connecting to the Xbox like every other modchip. Its nothing special. Take a look at how many wires there are going to the ram chips, and all the other components involved on the Xbox motherboard. How practical do you really think the extra handful of Mbs of ram this thing provides really is when its coming through something as limited as the debug port.

Mod chips have had those "future" options greyed out for a decade or more, and no one made them work yet. Other than the easier setup and nice menus, this mod chip is little more than an iterative change to decades of mods for the console. Would love to see someone make all that other stuff work, but the probability that this will be "the one" is quite low.

This newer chip makes that easier. A plug and play chip with all ready to mod the xbox is now a thing, anyway, xbox deserve a real OS mixing all the features of all dashboards, with youtube, download center, etc, not 4 different ones.

Great video! Definitely gonna pick one of these up. Glad to hear, too, that they sell an upgrade kit, as I still have a legacy XboxHD+. One tip, if I may: you had a lot of close-up shots of components from the kit being held in your hand, which were visibly shakey. (Everyone’s hands shake; nothing weird about that!) If you want to make that less apparent, you can film at double the frame rate and then play it back in the video at the video’s normal frame rate, making it a slow motion shot. It’ll smooth out the shakes and make the footage look smooth as glass. Don’t get me wrong: I don’t mean to say the video looked bad! I’ve always been impressed by the quality of your videos. Just thought I’d pass along the tip. :) Thanks again for another banger of a video!

Still not convinced that any of this is necessary for most end users nor that the extra features used as selling points are coming to current owners or improve past external upscalers enough to warrant both the work or the cost. Seen no major waves recently in this side of the scene. However, if people are happy with what they have so far, then I guess its not money lost. I will hold out until I feel further progress has been made though, as many a time in the past, once the money has been earned the rest of the work gets dropped into the open-source bin for others to continue and not developed by the lead devs. Only way to see how that goes is to wait. Have now grabbed an Andonstar AD409 Pro with a neat little endoscope which will come in handy for other stuff whilst I see how the cards stack.

12 year old me would absolutely be salivating over this mod chip. I didn't have much money growing up so buying a chip wasn't an option. Softmod was always the method to my madness. Breathing new life into a console I loved so much and introduced me to video games!

IDK if anyone here used the hotswap but it was sick! No chips or game exploits were necessary. When booting the OG XBox you would wait for a click (drive unlock) and swap the IDE cable to PC with the drive was still powered by Xbox. It would still work today if you could find the iso and a PC with a IDE.

I got mine in the mail just last week. I like you have an older revision of the HD+HDMI mod for my 1.6 Xbox. Glad the upgrade is such a breeze from another modchip.
