I am just wondering if anyone has sucessfully installed the spiderchip 1.1 onto any version of Xbox. It seems to be the one having all the problems and the people who say it works have the older version (1.0) Also note* Look at the tutorials closely on the spiderchip.com page. People have reported pages 8 and 9 having incorrect instructions for the 1.1 Tutorial. Any information or help would be appreciated.

I have spider v1.0 and xbox 1.6 NOT (. I flashed it with evox M8_16. Had issues with the screws but i used my own longer screw. Plugging the wires into D0 is a pain for 1.6 owners . But it work out fine. Cheap chip and easy to play with, when you actually get it installed Becareful to flash with right bios. I screwed up the first one I bought

daemon out

Sooo...what your basicly saying is you have NOT succesfully installed a 1.1 Spiderchip....

No not 1.1. Just helping out with my experience.

well this post is about version 1.1 . People have said that 1.0 works i wanna know if 1.1 does as well.

Any word on this? Did they give wrong DO location?

I was able to install a spiderchip 1.1 on a 1.4 or 1.5 box. What a pain in the ass. The chip did not line up correctly. I had to cut part of the chip. The part where the screw goes through. It was the only way to keep the screw tight and allign the pogo pins with the LPC or whatever the row of holes on the xbox motherboard is called.

EDIT.. the D0 location is correct.

I just got one in the mail this morning, V1.1, for my V1.6 XBox. Read all the problems with it, read all the tuts on how to do it properly. I'm confident....
I'll let you know how it goes....,.
Hopefully I'll be able to say it went well

Yea, make sure you tell us how it went..

I've done all the checks, made sure no holes have any laquer on them, checked versions, got 3 different CD-Rws/DVD-Rs with the BIOS on it in case the drive is vry picky. Got the wire layout, got tweezers which will be gentle with the wires. The only thing that can mess this up now is the chip Well, I hope not!
If it wasn't for the fear of damaging the box with my soldering skills, I'd have an Xecuter in by now
Everyone keep their Spider hating fingers crossed for me!

Anyone sucessfully install spiderchip 1.1 using the new instructions from the spiderchip homepage? (ie. removing the pogo pin, etc)

I have successfully installed a 1.1 spiderchip on my 1.6 xbox using hotglue and a spring But I had to hotglue the bottom of the chip too because I stripped the threads for the screw but the spring puts enough pressure on it so it stays in place

Got my 1.1 spiderchip this morning and yes its a twat to install on a 1.6 xbox but only because they supply the wrong bloody screw and washer size, cut the ground pin as per the website (i used a pair of nail clippers lol) and get a thicker washer and a 9mm screw, i found the wires a bit fiddly due to fat fingers but got there in the end, installed with evox m8-1.6 bios and used slayers 2.6 final to install all the gubbins to the new 80gb hd i installed as well.
To sum up, if you have a 1.6 xbox and cant solder get this chip, any lower revisions go with the xecuter.

Well. It worked. Not without problems though
One problem with the chip, one with me
The chip didn't stay put in the LPC, as you've all found, so I simply put a cut raw plug on top and the DVD drive put enough pressure on to force it down. Simple.
However after I followed someones instructions on this forum, I couldn't flash the bios. They had told me to make an XBox iso using Craxtion. However I then read the SpiderChip flash tut and it said to make a normal CD. Then it worked
Now all is good. I didn't see anythign about removing a pin though.
Will look into that....

So yes, a successful install, but it did have problems.

Im confused what you mean by raw plug..

Raw plug may be a UK term. A raw plug is a little plastic "thing" that you put into a hole in a wall, such as plasterboard, before you put a screw into the wall.
I only used this because it was close to hand, I had lots of them, they were cheap and they are easy to cut to shape.
I think I'll glue it down tonight because it works well and is the least restricting in airflow.
I can meansure it so you know how long it needs to be if you like.

sure..
