Xenium Ice Modchip?

[crazygamelover]

This was received in my email from Consolesource.com along with a message about the last of the PS2 HDLoaders in stock being sold until inventory is depleted.

My question is, Has anyone heard of this chip? Or, perhaps already have one and would like to share any of your reviews regard it?



Thanks! CGL

@ TD
Yeah I noticed that too! I was just wondering about it cause it appears to be a decent chip in regard to its description and features. Not sure how good it is, in regard to actual usage but I am considering it for that xbox I spoke to you about in the past. I've yet to mod it. I also spoke to Sped, and Ax about it but things came up and I never got around to doing anything with it yet.
Maybe someone here knows more about it.

I may just play the Guinea Pig role and try it out anyway, then post a review on my findings. Havent decided yet.

I have heard of the chip. I ordered one from modchipsource.com, and received it promptly. Installation was a breeze; I went with the solderless method.

It's been running perfectly for me for the last three weeks, running backups and regular games, and everything perfectly. I've had zero complaints. It's go 4 slots for BIOS, a programmable LED light (to let you know which BIOS are running currently) and.. uhh.. It works.

If you have any specific questions post them here, and I'm sure if someone else can't help you out, I might be able to. It's my first modchip, and it does everything I hoped it would.

Thanks man! Thats all I really wanted was for someone to vouch for it whether it be good or bad. I almost had my mind made up but was just waiting to see what kind of response I got from this thread.

[TylerDurden]

Yeah CGL, hit me up if you want it installed. Ill do it for free. You pay for shippin.

Fellas this has been floating around on the boards for awhile.. I have personally posted about it at least once.. "Xenium 1.6 Installation" Maybe it was because I left out the ICE portion.

I just installed mine this morning (thursday morning) worked like a charm.. Pretty easy install. I dig it.

Very cool offer TD! I appreciate it. I will let you know if I decide to send it your way. I may attempt this one myself due to all of the recent Sony crap going on. I know MS isnt doing all this but I figure, "Why stir the pot". I wam gonna order one and I will decide then. Thanks man.

@Neipas02
I did a search on Xenium and see what you mean. Thanks!
