hola!
I just bougt XBOX [not 360 ofcousrse] and I read and searched in tutorial parto of xbox-scene but I could not find any article that would help me to solve this question ? does someone has a link to my question ?

thnx

unscrew your xbox and open it. remove the harddrive and the dvd drive and you will forsure see the chip at the top left corner of the motherchip. make sure you remove all the screws from the xbox, dont force it, if it wont open look for more screws that you may have overlooked.

Open it.

--- that's pretty much about it.. unless you can boot to something like x3 config live holding white button when you boot.... But chances are you probley dont haev an x3.. Do you have a switch on the outside of your box to disable and enable it?

ok.. thnx.. I'll try now... ill open it and read ...

nah... I dont have the requested screwdriver

tomorrow maybe

hola! I just opened my XBOX and I cant find any soldered chip to the motherboard ?

I just opened completely my XBOX [found somewhere the manual for complete disasemble] and on the bottom I found soldered chipboard...

as I can read from it, the chip manufacturer is
Lattice A3-64

can anyone help me with this ?

I'll try to find something on the internet about it

Is the chip Red. Sounds like an Aladdin Does it look like below

i serached the net and by the picture I found out that chip is called Enigmah [here the LINK to it, but the chip on image doesnt have print like it.. but the info is similar]

but for now I didn't found some "real" infos about it

my main question is can I put Slayer's Installer or something like that on my XBOX ? what can I actually do with this chip?

He says its on the bottom, so it sounds like another 29 wire chip to me. If it is a 29 wire it will either want replacing with a newer chip like a Duox2 or the TSOP flashing which is pretty straight forward with a 29 wire chip.

EDIT: Ok its an enigmah then, if you can solder, i would flash the TSOP with it, have a look in the TSOP forum for more information on flashing with a 29 wire chip.

It should be able to load slayers but really it is pretty outdated and the bios cannot be reflashed, which means all games backups will have to be patched, I would do some sort of update on your system such as a newer chip or TSOP flash.

yup... its 29wire chip...
soo... I have to look for TSOP flashing.. I'll find some infos and manuals about IT... but does that mean that I wont be able to "upgrade" my XBOX ??? only with new chip ??

What version xbox do you have, if its a 1.0 or 1.1 you can split the TSOP to act as an on off for a modded bios, also with the modded bios flashed onto the TSOP it has all the bennefits of a 3rd gen modchip, you can upgrade your HDD and pretty much most things you can do with a chip.

the version I have is v1.0..

Ill look some manuals... i'll try to find some manuals to do that with TSOP

but I must admit that Im pretty affradi dont know why ... probablly not to screw things up

thnx A lot
