I have an XBox, so I haven't been paying much attention to the PS2 world of mods... but I happened to run across an ad for a (relatively new) PS2 modchip that simply plugs into the USB joypad port. Any chance the same might be possible for the XBox in the (hopefully not-too-distant) future? Any XBox architecture restrictions that would prevent this? Sure seems like a slick solution. Pull it out when you don't need it, put it in when you do. Heck... it wouldn't even void the warranty. Anybody know? Thanks! -S |

actually .. if I read it more carefully, it still need 1 wire installation. Don't know how to do that though ...

The one I found at first was this one:
http://www.modchipstore.com/ps2/usbmod.html I'm sure the neokey is similar. But, you're right, I hadn't caught the "1 wire installation" thing before. So I guess it's more of just an X-ecutor-like modchip that sits external to the box rather than internal (??). Not sure what the point is of that... unless it hacks the joypad port for stuff too. OPJOSE - just curious... what makes it possible for PS2 and "not possible" for XBox? Or were you commenting on just the purely USB-based modchip? Sounds like the Xbox Linux crew is working on finding ways to boot unsigned code without a mod (at least, they mention it in their "to do" list... which I would assume they wouldn't if they didn't already have an idea of how to do it). Anyone know some of the ways they might be trying? Peace. -S |

Ahhh
http://www.easybuy2000.com/store/playstati...II/neokey.shtml is just a newer model/case for http://www.modchipstore.com/ps2/usbmod.html so there you go. Both pages have links to the installation manual. The "one wire installation" is soldering a jumper between two points. The wire isn't actually physically connected to the neokey... so the "dongle" is still fully removable. Not sure what the GameShark or DVD-Region-X requirement is all about, though. |

Dunno about the PS/2, but the Xbox uses nothing from the USB bus that can "take over" the BIOS and security functions. MS knew all about the USB hacks for the PS/2, so the bios and the hardware are tightly tied together to prevent just this type of thing. |
