Chips for sale?

Post by GhostlyGamer »

I have a Softmoded Xbox (V1.4 or 1.5, not sure), but I really really want to use a chip ( I have no idea why, just a compulsion). Any one got any Modchips for sale? Preferably the X3 or X3CE with the control board or front panel with LCD. I cant find any online ANYWHERE, I found some X2.6es but the site looks shady and it has no control boards.

The lcd compatible chips are virtually impossible to find and now the most common chip still available is the Aladdin, if its just for being able to use an unlocked HDD then why not tsop flash it ?

Agree. I only see the need for a modchip on a v1.6 - all earlier versions, just do the simpler TSOP mod - and it's free.

Eh, i like to have the safety net of being able to reverse it. i found some duox 2 chips as well, and while not lcd compatible, they seem pretty easy to manage. and like i said, i know it could be simpler, i just have the compulsion to run a chip.

Chips are cheap insurance. Under $10 and some soldering and your away. Forever. Only had one chip bios failure, (DuoX by the way but a lite so only 1 bios), and simply hotswapped the chip and re-flashed it so I have never had a modchip die as such. Seeing as a modchip dropped it's bios, I'd imagine a TSOP can do the same. Can you recover a machine running a TSOP if the bios fails with it's softmod required initially to do the TSOP or is the machine landfill or parts at best?.

If the bios on the TSOP of a softmodded box dies you can just slap on a chip to make it boot up (should boot to the softmod) and your off to the races again. Of course since they're a chip you might as well take advantage of it.

Yeah i bought a 2.6 from ModchipCentral, but the point of the thread was to see if anyone HERE, has any Spare X3's or a broken box with a working X3 or a working xbox with an X3, that they would be willing to sell/able to desolder and sell.

the ironic thing, is the frontpanel is still out there http://www.modchip.org/product_info.php ... cts_id=411

Requests for Aladdin XT 64 chips boys. Yes the LCD ones. You'll be soldering but you will have LCDs. Hell, I might even do a "Plug And Play" cable set with sockets so then you just "Plug It Together" and then no soldering, once you get your chip on a socket. Need numbers of, I don't know yet, :oops: but they are available. Probably need expressions of interest for 50 chips for the deal to go ahead so if your interested, reply.

He's taking request for the Aladdin XT 64 chips. If he gets enough request he can make a bulk order which is cheaper, and to sweetin the deal he may make you a solderless adapter to install for your convenience. Hard to beat that!!!!

I'd buy a couple if you need to get the numbers up. Don't really need them but it can never hurt to have some lying around :)
