I have been trying play halo system link with friends, we all have installed the matrix modchip with evox 2.4 and all the other shit needed but can;t find a way to get it working!
1st question? can you play system link with a moded xbox (i have the matrix modchip).
2nd question? if you can! is there a bios or dashboard that does not support it (i have evox evox 2.4 installed and an old dashboard).
3rd question? if 2.4 supports it then what do you have to do to get it working etc...
Full Version: System Link Playing
system link works fine with chips. make sure you're all using the same version (pal or nstc), which shouldnt be a problem if you truly own the game you're trying to play..
not meaning to sound stupid if i am but what is "using the same version (pal or nstc)," and no all games are copied not owned.
What sort of cables are you using? If your using a hub or switch, you need regular CAT5 bacle, if your just connecting 2 xbox's together, you need crossover CAT5
He means are you using all PAL copies, or all NTSC copies, or a mix of PAL and NTSC copies.

thanx for the help, had a mind block
I've had hell with a Modchip, Halo and system link
I've managed to successfully set-up friends XBOXs using cross-over and hub + standard cables in order to play 8-way Halo. It's huge fun.
However, I can never get my XBOX to work. It is a version 1 and was chipped a while ago with an eXtender mod-chip (no longer available to buy). Prior to chipping I used to be able to play Halo online using the Gamespy Arcade software. Since chipping I cannot play Halo online using Gamespy Arcade or play it system link. The modchip works fine using for all other modchip use e.g. EvoX, unsigned code and backup fun. I can do all the normal EvoX stuff with my XBOX e.g. ftp to it.
With my XBOX I have tried using static and dynamic IP addresses (via evoX), different cables and network configurations (both the hub and a cross-over) PAL, NTSC, and backup versions of Halo, swithing my XBOX to PAL and NTSC mode (using the Enigma video mode switcher) and everything else I can think of in order to get Halo working using system link / Gamespy Arcade.
Every so often I post a message to these excellent forums to see if anyone can help, as yet no luck. However, seeing as it has been a while anybody got any new ideas?
