I've now decided that with the advent of EvoX, it's time to get my XBOX fitted with a mod chip so I can run it. Forget the backups, this thing is excellent. I've got 3 engimah finals here (shipping mistake in my favor ;o). I was asking IRC folks about running EvoX after having an Enigmah installed, and I hear that there is only mixed results.

I was going to have my chip fitted professionally by a service here, so I believe it should be fine. However, I'm now being told that I should really go with homebrew if I want to use EvoX. Unfortunatly, I'm not savvy enough with flashing new chips to even know where to begin.

If someone could post below or link to other posts (or website FAQs) about getting started with the concept of homebrew, that would be great. Other reasons why not to use an enigmah with it would also be appreciated.

Help this n00b on his quest to homebrew software freedom! Spread the knowledge, and greetz to all those who have helped so far.

All I want to do is get EvoX up and running!

Look at this sites tutorials and FAQ's their a good start.
I'm using a Final Enigmah and recommend it, it seems to be the most widely used.

The only thing EvoX won't let you do with an Enigmah is install a different hard drive, everything else EvoX dose works fine.

The upside is that with the Enigmah installed you could flash the XBOX BIOS with the EvoX BIOS and unlock EvoX fully (not recommended by me until EvoX is out of Beta) and then uninstall the Enigmah not needing it any more.
Homebrews let you flash them with the Evox BIOS, this way you don’t have to worry about frying your XBOB by flashing its BIOS wrong.
