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.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
