- Viper GC is the world's first amateur coding module for NGC (http://www.xbox-scene.com/xbox1data/sep/EEpEFFyykEaZtHhjfS.php). The onboard flash memory allows users to boot Homebrew applications, loaders or BIOS'. A high speed parallel port programmer is provided along with the FFC cable to connect to the Viper GC main module. An intuitive PC application has been authored to facilitate easy transfer of BIOS', loaders or Homebrew applications to the flash memory. Viper Gc is based around the Actel ProAsic Plus FPGA, providing flexibility and security to ensure that the user gets the product they ordered, not a cheap clone. The viper GC's tailored PC application will enable users to transfer code via their PC Parallel port to the module's flash memory. The Viper GC has just 4 wires to solder and two connectors which could assume control of the lid sensor switch, should the appropriate commands be included in a third party BIOS release.

And that is still not going to get me interested in getting one. :p

The only thing that could replace the PS2's allure to me is Halo 2's availability on the XBox.

Adding these chipsets is not usually easy and requires some technical knowledge. If I was going to take the time to hack one I would want to do the Xbox. It is a 733mghz computer essentially. You can wirelessly network it into your home network and you can do a lot of other things such as, store music, video,and data, as well as gameplay.
There is a book that you can purchase that might interest you called "Game Console Hacking." It covers a lot of different consoles from the Atari 2600 to the XBox and PS2

Hmmm.

An administrator I was unaware of... Welcome to WD, by the way, as this seems to be your first post. :p



A friend of mine has turned his XBox (bought used) into a media center PC which does just that - WLAN connected too. :cool:

Gamecube for kids.
PS2 for adolescents.
XBox for annoying teenagers.
PCs for gamers.

Well I only have a PC and used to be a GB and GBA fan, sold them now, so only PC, i.e. for GAMERS.

What does this modchip do? Make the gamecube not be gay or something?

Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes is the only game worth playing. And that's totally irrelevant now that Metal Gear Solid 3 is out on PS2.
