Hi friends,

A friend of mine asked me help on installing x3 modchip. I'm new to xbox scene. The hardmod is the easy part.

I just don't know what to do next.
I'm trying to find answers before installation.

So I think the chip come blank. No bios flashed, right?

I have a x3 bios (what is the latest version anyway?) and I also have Hexen 2018 update iso. Do I need anything else?

I think I need to flash the bios via filezilla, burn the hexen DVD, pop it into the console and install xbmc?!

Is this enough?

Some people talk about installing a dashboard? Is it really necessary?

With this simple setup it is only possible to run games from dvd, right?

Thanks for helping me.

Hello.:)

This Manual maybe is not the "Latest" but it seems it has all you need:
https://www.xbox-hq.com/html/postt2894.html

Maybe an easier Way it would be if the XBox is already softmodded so you can simply use the installed Dashboard and a Disc like HeXEn or SlaYers or AID.

I hope this helps you a little.:)

Thank you.:)

Thanks, but it just explains the proccess of flashing.

It's just that? After flashing I don't need to install anything else?

Then you can use one of the 3 Discs

- HeXEn
or
- SlaYers
or
AID (Auto Installer Deluxe)
(my personal Recommendation)

With this you get most of the

- different Dashboards (yes,it is a good Idea you use one for Filetransfer for Example.:))
- XBMC (Media Center can also used als "Dashboard "Replacement")
- Emulators
- XBox Tools (for Game Disc Installation for Example)
...


I hope,this helps you further on your Way.

Good Luck
and
Thank you.:)

    Why not they just mine Monero instead of scamming vulnerable people? If they have a decent machine they can hit a jackpot at any given time.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Bitcoin on the other hand, requires a very powerful mining rig and is more costly.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, different cultures so probably they have their reasons
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yes a $2,000 rig for $5 a day
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Or could be in correlation to laws.

    Technically, cryptocurrencies aren't illegal, as long as you don't use it for criminal activity. If you sign up with an exchange, and that they get a tip from law enforcement, they have the right to freeze your assets.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, Yea I heard law is vastly different there
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Nigeria's central bank did make crypto illegal before, until last year they lifted the ban. Always make sure to check before you exchange. ;)

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, speaking of crypto i remember reading about a guy who spend like 10 grand bitcoin on a couple pizzas (when bitcoin wasnt as worthy as nowadays)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's mental. If he had saved up when Bitcoin sky-rocketed in price, then he might've become the next Jeff Bezos for all I know.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, he couldnt know the price was gonna skyrocket anyway
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Then it dropped sometime in 2022, 2021 was when it really went up in price.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, I also recall watching a video of some failed games with their own crypto currency or smth like that, lemme link it to you (it's in spanish tho)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, I remember that. Didn't Steam ban games with NFTs before somehow devs managed to circumvent it? Think EA tried to dabble in NFTs too.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Glad to hear people realise that NFTs aren't worth it these days. They realise that they're JPEGs hosted on a file-hosting site like AWS or Google Drive.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Atleast it has captions
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Meta also tried to create their own crypto, but that fell through.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Was called Libra, they had around 100 employees and wanted to hire more near to end of the year.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, idk why facebook tried to do that metaverse thing if mmo games already existed before
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    And Yea I refuse to call it meta
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, I refuse to call it Meta, too. It's a stupid name.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, then why did you call it like that a minute ago?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I don't get why Facebook ever wanted to dabble into virtual reality, when other companies were doing it.

    @Xdqwerty, Just to emphasize on what I mean.
