Open-Source Xbox Modchips

Posted by simoniker on from the grow-your-own dept.

DonatusIgnis writes "Our Australian company has decided to release the PCB designs for all of our Xbox modchips back to the modchip community. We are starting with our modified version of the CheapMod, and the Protel PCB files are already available on our website. Once we are sure that this is the right way to go, we'll also release the design for our multi-bios modchip in the next few weeks. Considering how much every modchip manufacturer owes to the Xbox pioneers who blazed the trail before us, it would be great to see more companies giving their work back to the general modchip community under an open-style license." See the Aussiechip homepage for FAQs and details - interesting stuff.

    I wonder about this question too. When I bought my PS2, I was so careful with it, dusting it everyday, being very gentle with it and what not. And then there were people who opened up their PS2 the first day they got it, and a couple of weeks later there were mod chips out.
