Xbox:Modchips

Modchips are small circuit boards that can either be soldered, or in some cases clipped, on to a Xbox motherboard to circumvent the onboard BIOS and run a custom BIOS. While there are many choices of modchip, the latest revisions of modchips are listed here.

For identifying a modchip visually, see this chart.

For updating a modchip BIOS, see this page.
