Hello all, i picked up a softmodded xbox from a small game store and i would like to find out if i need update anything. While i am totally new to xbox modding, i have at least managed to confirm that the board is a 1.1. though i realized after pulling it apart that i could look that up in the softmod menus. i have already bridged the connections for the tsop as well, but before continuing that process and removing the clock capacitor i would like to see if the softmod needs some kind of update and im not seeing any info for that. can anyone help me find my current version and explain how to update if needed?

The only stuff you would need to update is the dashboard if you want but remove the clock cap ASAP.

Where did you read that? That is total nonsense.

It's not nonsense.

Older softmod methods indeed could loop the Xbox as the clock wasn't valid.

OP, you've got nothing to worry about.
Most, if not all softmods and dashes these days simply ignore the clock and set the time via internet anyway.

Pretty much all the softmods install the latest UnleashX/Evox/whatever dash.
I'd suggest UnleashX.

They haven't been updated in years and are likely to never receive updates anymore.

since its flashed, you can put the files on the DVD, or you can use the CrossOver cable, you need to make 1 yourself or buy 1, or you can purchase or make 1 adapter for the controller to usb.
