Hi everyone, I want to get my first ever modchip and am right now looking at the Spider and the Xenium Ice (solderless) because they look easy to install (couldn't solder to save my life lol). What do you guys recommend for a newbie? 2nd question... Bios. Will I be able to play a backup game with the Bios that come with the modchip or will I have to flash new ones? Thanks ahead of time, learning alot from you guys.

For the most part,you will have to find your own bios files.....they are easy to find anyways. And yes you can play backups and alot of other things as well after you mod the thing. Good luck :)

Thanks for replying, yeah I kinda figured I'd have to get new bios, I was trying to figure out if chip would be able to run a backup without "new" bios. But now I know it won't, oh well. I ended up ordering the Xenium Ice, and now I'm going crazy waiting for it to get here.

another quick question..... Will any bios work with any chip, or do you have to use specific bios for each chip? Does anyone have a recomendation for bios with the xenium ice chip? These probally seem like dumb questions for you more experienced guys, but I'm still learning and appreciate all the help I can get.

mainly you can get them from irc. OR you can try to get them from a P2P like shareaza or kazaa.
