China-Messiah's reaction on Bios image release
>> From china-messiah
"The implications of this release are many, because control of modchips in the world is now not the governing factor limiting hack of the X-Box console, the limiting factor actually now becomes the availability of programming equipment capable of carrying out the process.
TO EXPLAIN:
The Bios inside an X-box is held in a readily available Flash Device. Analysis of the pin configurations brings the assumption that Microsoft have no intention to use the flashing ability of the bios within the X-box, therefore the bios will remain static throughout each consoles life. This means that if a hacked bios image is dumped into the flash programmable device, it is safe to assume that this bios will continue to work indefinitely.
There has been a version of modchip available for some time called Xtender, this, just like the Enigmah version of modchip used an available hacked bios image to produce externally implemented patches to the original X-box bios. The Enigmah was a little cleverer than the Xtender because work was done with this particular chip to make the loaded bios images smaller, and so only a single chip device was required to apply the necessary patches, the patch information being easily held within the chips memory rather than loaded from external memory holding a complete bios image.
The release of this bios file allows the following:
A) Consoles can be upgraded by workshops with the correct equipment very cheaply because no parts are required to be fitted.
B) Very cheap modchips to be made, high priced modchips are no longer an option, basically say goodbye to Xtender and Enigmah unless their prices become much lower."
They also confirmed they will continue to work on the MX chip 'cause it will have only 12wires (instead of the 29 you would need for an Xtender(-clone)) and the MX will be sold for a very low price. (about £25)
