Your post is related to a modchip, as this is illegal and WILL NOT be discussed here, I recommend that you call Microsoft Tech Support, there is a phone# in your xbox manual, and tell them you want to access the "evox" dashboard that you installed with your modchip! make sure you tell them your address and name as well!

Moderators or Administrators please close this post

is there really any harm in talking about it? Just google it there are plenty of forums related to this subject

I'm not sure about whether this one breaks any rules either
Will let someone else close it if decided it should be as I am not sure

I think the rules are different from country to country. Here in Australia modchips were not banned until a year ago. I pretty sure it is not banned in some countries e.g. Canada?

It's a grey area anyway. In my opinion, once you have bought the hardware it's yours. You should have the full rights playing with it.

I couldn't agree more, and I can't begin to express my frustration for heavilly-bribed lawmakers who seem to think otherwise. I can buy some components and put together my own PC or games console, which does what I want. Similarly, it should be perfectly within my rights to buy an existing console, and modify it as I see fit.

Five years ago I would have never expected that tinkering with electronics, or modifying your own devices to do what you wanted them to, could possibly become illegal.

SIRCOOKS, no matter how stupid we think the laws are, we don't have much of a choice but to abide by them. Therefore, we cannot help you with your problem. I would advise you find a forum hosted in countries where the legal system is still relatively sane, and ask your questions there. I would also advise that you spend a few minutes of your time, writing to your senator/MP/representative urging them to take a stand against our gradual loss of freedom to tinker with electronics.

I agree, however: below are the rules for the console section

i did not requst anything, ask for anything, i wasn't racist in asking anything i hope, i simply asked for help for something i allready owned. where i live in the bahamas, theres nothing stopping me. if i pissed you off, fine, IM SORRY, but your opinion does not supercede the opinions of the board

It's not the modchip that is illegal (or at least not everywhere) but the Evolution X dashboard uses parts of Microsoft's original copyrighted source code and it was compiled with an illegal/stolen xdk. Luckily there are other site that at least let you discuss such software (try hxxp://www.xbox-scene.com you'l find your answer) as long as you don't request links to the software. That I understand.

Speeding is against the law, but we can talk about it here without a problem as long we don't encourage people to do it. We can even ask people how to make our cars go even faster. When it comes to Evolution X however it suddenly does become a problem.
Isn't that a bit odd?

Besides, there are threads here where people ask for cracks. Isn't that what you should worry about?

Maybe the rules are a tat to much here. Even the newsbot can't obey them.
