Johnodd4 said that it was easy to install, but certain boards required more solder than others to install it. Considering it sits right on the circuit board, it should be pretty easy. As for multiple chips, I don't recommend running more than one at a time since it would mostly likely cause issues. Star Plus Serials Pyar Ka Dard Hai Meetha Meetha Pyara Pyara. If you want a Viper GC Extreme, don't bother installing other chips first. Also, the XenoGC chip seems to work well on it's own, so if you want a budget solution get that and don't bother with anything else.

[bold]Xeno GC Modchip Review[/bold] Written by XboxModder999 January 2006 [bold]Introduction[/bold] This Review is for the Xeno GC. The Xeno GC is a new no-frills chip which allows you to boot unsigned code such as backups as well as bootable homebrew discs. Features - Direct boot of DVD+-RW media - Compatible with all Regions & all Versions - Region Free Loading - Super Easy Wireless Install - No Need to Remove Mainboard - PAL/NTSC region force - installation control Led’s - Switchable read setting adjustment / error retry - Switchable Audio Fix - Anti-static packaging - Extremely low cost -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [bold]Package Contents[/bold] The Xeno GC came in an Anti-static bag. The chip was the only thing inside.

Dec 17, 2012 Playing backups on GameCube. Relatively easy installation and good compatibility. Playing backups on GameCube - making your own Xeno. Nintendo GameCube Console With XenoGC Mod Chip - Play Backups - Region Free. Installation control LEDs; switchable read setting adjustment / error retry.

[bold]Installation[/bold] I started by taking apart the GameCube, as well as taking the shielding plate off of the GameCube. I will not tell you how to do this, as there are plenty of guides elsewhere that tell you how to. I then put the chip in place (using the diagram from the Xeno GC site) and secured it with some tape. The soldering was relatively simple and took me about 5 minutes.

The points are pretty small, but if you take your time almost anyone should be able to do it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [bold]Usage[/bold] After the soldering was done I placed the DVD drive back in place, set the GameCube cover back on and inserted a game.

Upon turning on the GameCube the original IPL loads and you see the GameCubes logo. During this time the Xeno GC’s red LED was flashing which I am certain means that it is putting in the DVD reset code (which allows it to boot the disc). After that is done the game boots and you are good to go. The Xeno GC’s green LED lights up as you are playing the image which means that the disc is being read. Every game I tried booted without problems.

I tried mini DVD-Rs, full-size DVD-Rs, and full-size DVD+Rs. On the website it claims that it boots DVD+/-RWs, but I tried multiple brands and none of them booted - which I expected. Using the GC-Linux guide I made a few bootable homebrew discs and the ones that did not have DVD reset worked perfectly.

For homebrew with DVD reset it just freezes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [bold]Conclusion[/bold] The chip does exactly what the manufactures claim and does it well. It doesn’t have a lot of the features that the more expensive chips have, but if you are just interested in playing your backups you can’t beat it. I purchased mine from Eurasia for $22.50 shipped and I am very happy with it.

[bold]Good Points[/bold] - Cheap - Relatively easy install - Works well - Has all features mentioned on site [bold]Bad Points[/bold] - Missing features of other more expensive chips - Official website is missing information. According to the features, it has Switchable DRE retry and audio fix, but I was not able to figure out how to switch them. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- By. Can I get some clarification on the difficulty of installing this chip on U.S.A versions of ngc? I've been reading and people are saying that the board doesn't match the diagram given, in what way? I don't get the 'more solder is needed' part.

In addition, tempest, with your setup, the soft mods you currently have, are just for adding to the fun of modding and not for booting right? I see that you have 'Soft Mods: BBA, AR 1.07, SD Adapter, Samson's Loader Mem Card - GCoS1.5 for playing and GcoM2.3 for ripping' BBA with the GcomM2.3 is for ripping, AR for cheat codes, SD to transfer saved games back and forth from pc to ngc. But what are Gcos, and Samson's loader mem card for? I was thinking of getting the viper extreme but seems like people are having problems with the currently bios, and thinking twice I just want to use the chip for booting backups, so that's why I'm looking into this. Boki, for the cons you mentioned in your post for the chip, one of them was that it lacked stuff available on the more higher end chips, can you tell me what they are? So I can decide whether or not to get the xeno.
