New XBox defeated: X-Ecuter v2 modchip is coming out soon

As some of you might know a new XBox version came out on the latest weeks (especially on Australia and the UK) and the current modchips stopped working on them. Well, the team of the Xecuter modchip striked again cracking the new BIOS kernel and announcing the next coming v2 Xecuter modchip:


We would like to announce the following three designs in progress. The names of these mods have not been decided so without trying to cause any confusion we have labelled them accordingly with the Xecuter brand. Designs A and B will probably be released as different versions of Xecuter2 and design C will be released as a different brand due to the fact it will be released with no MS kernel.

Xecuter (A)
Design as Xecuter v1 (1 wire)
All Xecuter Kernel functions on both v1 and v1.1 Xbox models
v1 = Xecuter 4034 Kernel / v1.1 = Xecuter 4817 Kernel
256k Flash updateable using EvoX Beta Build 1.8.2812 (as long as we find it stable enough)
512k Flash updateable using Xecuter software (EvoX should add support too)
Once installed it stays installed - no need to ever remove
All switch modes external to the console so no need to open up again

Xecuter (B)
Design as Xecuter but with Pogo Pins so NO wires.
All Xecuter Kernel functions on both v1 and v1.1 Xbox models
v1 = Xecuter 4034 Kernel / v1.1 = Xecuter 4817 Kernel
256k Flash updateable using EvoX Beta Build 1.8.2812 (as long as we find it stable enough)
512k Flash updateable using Xecuter software (EvoX should add support too)
Once installed it stays installed - no need to ever remove
All switch modes external to the console so no need to open up again

Xecuter (C)
Completely new design
10 Wire adapter or 0 wire pogo Pin Adapter
Flash updateable and controllable via PC
Xecuter's own DOS & Windows Software
Flash updateable using EvoX Beta Build 1.8.2812 (as long as we find it stable enough)
Xecuter's own flash software with many more features
Switch between 4 x 256k ROMS / 2 x 256k & 1 x 512k ROM / 2 x 512k ROMS / 1 x 1MB ROM
Once installed it stays installed - no need to ever remove All switch & programming modes external to the console so no need to open up again.


Well, well a little bird told me that maybe we'll see this new modchip the next week. Who knows? Thanks to the Xecuter team and many visitors for letting us know this marvellous news.

Defeated, hmm which planet are you on, you make it sound like WWII. It would have been far easier too say a new by-pass method for the newer X-box's is in the pipeline. Not brag about the company involved as right now MS Corp will file a lawsuite against this company. The X-Box is crap anyway I have seen it, The PS2 has alot more support in the way of games(PS3 is in the pipeline now), and if you own a powerfull PC then why bother? I would like too see an x-box out do my AMD xp2100+ and full blown GF4 TI 4600 :4 Its just a pc in a little box, just for you kids Wink Don't worry Mr Gates will be working on a totally different PCB design now and will prob recall all current stock, so kiddies go out and buy one quickly. Greetz :8

interceptor: hmmmm interesting yet wrong view. U r right saying microsoft werent defeated, ne1 that says that doesnt fully understand. Microsoft knew that their new design would be overcome, its just a case of making as much hassle and as difficult for the user as possible. But i cant agree with wot u say next, claming just because u have a powerful pc y bother. Very good if getting stupidly high frame rates some how stimulates u, but for the rest of us its about it having fun. U cant take ur pc round to ur mates and join in on a 4 player halo match etc. This is wot the xbox provides for me that my pc cant. Yes i can play online on my pc but its just not the same. And ur last statement cudnt be more wrong even if u tried. Hes not going to recall the stock because the inevitable happened now is he?u think this has come as a suprise to him? He may well be working on yet another design and so the story starts again, but they know this, they expected this, their not going to be stunned numb that once again they have been "defeated" and all their plans lay in ruins. just think about it.

Interceptor, I agree that the GeForce 4 ti 4600 is a lot better than the GeForce 3 and that if the GF4 was stressed to the max it would look better than the Xbox, however, your gfx card won't be stretched out that much cuz for a few years cuz developers can't just target the .01% of people who have a $220+ card. And also, how much did you pay for a Ti4600? And how much is an Xbox (which has a processor, ram, hd, gfx card, network card, audio card)? Uhhmmmm, cheaper than your ti4600 and it still has better graphics…

"U cant take ur pc round to ur mates and join in on a 4 player halo match etc" why would anyone want to play a FPS with a crappy joypad and a split-into-4-tiny-parts-you-can-barely-see screen? bit easier playing SoF2, MOH:AA, BF1942 etc. with great graphics at 1600x1200 instead of tv resolution online
