** XenoGC Chip **

http://xenogc.com/

"XenoGC has commercialized tmbinc's public information pertaining to the location and data ports that are benieth the GameCube's DVD drive and have created a new GameCube modchip. It's basically a "no frills" booting solution and should run around $20. Not much is known about this chip, but I wonder if the Qoob code that was dumped via myself and cheqmate's rumored design have anything to do with this chip (as his design used the same interface and he created the page with tmbinc). The XenoGC consists of only nine parts and a simple board and could most likely be duplicated for around $7.00 each if/when the code is dumped from it. As always look for an ISO-420 Certified Review coming soon!"(http://iso420.pxn-os.com/ngc.htm)

so does this require soldering? or does it just sit there

 

It sits on the board and is soldered in place.

For $7.00, I'd say it's a hell of a deal.

 

$7! where the hell do i get one?

 

Buy the chip, and dump the data.

horrible price....................................

 

hey did ya get it installed yet?
still wondering how well it works..

 

i love this idea but the chip is not flashable so you get stuck running there bios only

 

^I dont this this mods the bios, just lets you read dvd-r, it keeps the origional gc bios.

Can you make backups with this chip? I think will get this chip, so is this even easyer to instal then the other mod chips? how hard would it be for a total soldering noob?

 

Yea, its possible to make backups with this chip, just make bootable disc with ripping tool.

Hey is'nt that 90210 beverly hills post number? =D

 

^yes, all the good usernames were taken and its the only # combo i will remember. I will get this chip then .

 

well i have got the chip and have it installed it works on the original bios like the stelth mod chip for the psx. pop in the game and your good to go. fast boot of the back up

 

i would love to see a video if u could make one please!

 

Aparently johnodd4 reports that "newer version's of the gamecube here in the u.s.a don't look like the picture for the installation image on the web page so i cannot use it on my model of gamecube"

take a look at his new thread which he started in a new title when you can clearly see that a nice Xeno thread already exists.

by the way the chip is the size of a nickel. i would love to show video but their is realy nothing to see.i also did not make any. two of the parts on the chip are led's. it was a realy neat install i had fun instaling it.

 

hi guys!

i'm new to modding and all i was wondering if those of you who have installed the xeno gc chip in there NGCs could recommend this chip if let say all you want to do is JUST play backups of your original GC games? i have very very little experience in soldering and i was hoping if this chip could be installed by a beginner like myself. this is basically for my kids coz i had about 2 or 3 games that sometimes freeze and not work any more. also i've read that you need to adjust the pot so that the GC could read backup games is this true for the xeno chip or would a good media do the trick?

also i read in the thread that boki provided that it had problems with certain US NGCs i have the platinum edition bought it a year ago will i have problems installing it in that type of unit?

tia.

 

heres a link with a full in depth review, i hope some of you user will find it useful.
