Spiderchip/Modding Confusion

[Quall999]

I believe an older version of the chip may require a solder fix. That is why some chips need soldering and others do not. Official distributers have the fixed chip (usually listed on the official site).

However, I have heard nothing but bad news from this chip. If you can solder, then I suggest you get a different chip. The wires seem to pop out of place a lot. It is a very good cheapmod if you plan on soldering though (non-solderless cheapmods sell for less though).

And you will most likely have to flash any xbox modchip (applex may not). They include a free Cromwell bios to stay away from some legality issues, they do not provide any MS code (the hacked bios).
