RE: Xbox softmodding

["Ian Lowe" <ianlowe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

None of the 1.6 versions can be tsop flashed - last one which could
was 1.5



There's not much need for a table, as pretty much the only real variation
is
that with a modchip that allows switching you can still use Xbox Live (when
it's switched "off"). Not a big deal for a media player really ;)

OK, so next obvious question is, at which version (1.0-1.6b) did it
cease to be possible to use the TSOP flash method?

I checked at the weekend and my Argos one is a 1.6 (not "b")

Also, is there a comparison table anywhere that shows clearly what is
and is not possible with each mod method?

e.g.

Method Feature 1 Feature 2 Feature 3 etc...
MODCHIP Y Y Y
TSOP Y N Y
SOFTMOD N Y Y

Or do all the methods allow the same things to be done, thus negating
the point of such a table?

Cheers.
