Hey guys, I've been out of the scene for a while now, but used this forum (and others) religiously to jtag one of my systems, which worked perfectly!
Anyways, I recently got my hands on 2 phat xbox's, one arcade model, and the other an elite. The elite is brand new - just came out of the box, the arcade model is a jtagable system (still has blade dash) but after running it for an hour or so, it has now gone into RROD status.
I just wanted to know what the best course of action would be to take for someone who might want to modify these systems.... What options do I have, and what do they offer?
I can jtag the arcade (obviously I would need to fix the RROD issue first, which shouldn't be a big deal), that includes hard wiring to the Xenon motherboard, but wondering if there are other/better options. I've also heard about the RGH but I'm not too familiar with this... The Elite is brand new with an older (4 digit) dash.
Suprisingly I picked up a xenon about 2 years back, and jtagged it. I did the x-clamp fix, and changed the GPU heatsink to the newer 2-pc heatsink found in newer models, and its beening running great since.... never had another problem with it. When I recieved it 2 years ago, its original status was red ringed. But yes, I understand what your saying... theres no guarantee that it will be repairable.
