RE: Chipped Xbox

["Rob Mouser" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a chipped Xbox that was done for me by a friend. Probably around 6-9
months ago now. It has an Executor light chip in it, Evolution X dash and
XBMP.

I've used it a fair bit but only to play games from the installed ones on
the 120gb hard drive. Found the XBMP a little odd for mp3 etcetera.

How much better/stable is the latest releases?

And....THE BIG QESTION.....
How easy is an upgrade. I've really only got as technical as FTP
connections
to it and changing the basics in the ini file for shares etc.
Within my capabilities? I get scared when I see references to needing to
compile things?

Any help, pointers appreciated!

Rob

I fitted an Executer chip - I agree, an excellent bit of kit.

Soldering is pretty fiddly though if you've not done any/much before.
You really need a fine iron bit as well. Luckily, soldering and PCB
design was one of my first jobs after leaving school many years ago :)

It's not a Slayer chip. It's probably an Executer chip (available from
www.baldbouncer.co.uk), they are excellent.
It's the Evox software install (dashboard etc) that running on it, along
with Xbox Media Player or Xbox Media Centre and it was installed using
the
Slayer installer disks... :)

Executer and Slayer/Evox are about the best way to go, Slayer can also
sort
out the installation of big hard drives, basically installing the
complete
Xbox OS onto the new hard drive. As long as you have decent soldering
ability and a set of Torq screwdriver bits it's pretty straight
forward...

I just had a demo of an XBox chipped with the Slayer chip and was
totally
blown away -

Is this the best or are other mods worth considering - really I want
it as
a media centre on the network with a big HDD containing all the audio.
I
will never use it for gaming and I can live with popping the odd DVD in!
If
I wanted a remote (bedroom) audio "substation" what is the best
way to
achieve this - SliMp3?

TIA

Tim.
