This is the voltage regulator module. It's integrated to the mainboard on later models. No digital output freed up some room for it.

but this is on my DOL-001... not the 101. 101 is later model???

i noticed this when transplanting my DOL-001 to a New Platinum Case... It Seems To have an extra connector to the motherboard and is not present at all on Later Model Cubes i own. what exactly is this and why is it not present in my DOL-101 Cubes? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/2435095799614...

So it turns out the china clone i had wasnt flashed. After using the xenoflasher.dol with the chip grounded then ungrounding while power was on fixed the issue and now the xen8 chip functions fone on latest fw! No more blinking! While i was at it i transplanted my entire DOL-001 into the DOL-101 ca...

i reinstalled for the third time what i though was a defective china clone of the xenogc modchip after manually writing the firmware to it and it installed successfully transplanted an entire DOL-001 into the 101 case and i also hage my own sd gecko that i built thats flush in look to my other three...

I wonder if we could exploit the fact it makes you set certain settings when the clock battery is removed, it writes to sram then right?

Connected it again and it still didnt work ;-;

This is the blinking led for reference(the one on the right) and everything connected as shown. Do i have a bad modchip?

Okay so i desoldered the chip (no idea how intact it is and i was nanometers away from bridging a pin to the chip) https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/296300178560909312/362684577027719169/JPEG_20170926_204134.jpg and replaced it with a wired install. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/24...

About that.... i dont have desoldering braid and this is all i could remove...
is it possible to just solder to the alternate points while its attached?

Okay after severe resoldering over and over im convinced this chip is defective. All it does is blink. Is it even possible i was sold a fake? https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/296300178560909312/362265544826814485/20170926_115343.jpg This is what it looks like now,(probably gonna take it off ...

Here are some better pictures from after i checked the points.

What does the drive do, does it keep resetting? The lights generally blink when it resets the drive and attempts to upload the patch code. I'd check the soldering against the wired version solder points (have a search on the forum here for that installation picture). The drive works as if the modch...

And i did order this chip from china on ebay since there are no popular resellers anymore (thwre are a lot more listings as well so i can keep ordering from different people if nessecary.

I recently ordered a XEN8GC Clone modchip from ebay and when i went to install it the two red leds blink infinitely as shown here. https://s26.postimg.org/qp4hzrxhl/20170925_190644.jpg Here is my install (will take better photos if needed) https://s26.postimg.org/uo1pilm4p/20170925_181741.jpg Since ...

Im looking to inject it into the experience emulator but the tools say it is too big. Not64 will play it but with some crippling bugs. Is there another way that i can play this game on the gamecube decently?

Oooh nice i didnt know this was possible :3

Got 1.01 flashed using Swiss after half a dozen attempts. The first try looked like it worked perfectly but rendered the Xeno GC inoperative (no LEDs), so I went searching in vain for the serial programmer I built a few years ago. Thankfully I also have a Viper GC Extreme, so I was able to use that...

Can someone make a version of swiss that will load in place of the credits.dol or the shell.dol? I was reading earlier posts and it said it was possible. Itd be very helpful to launch swiss from the sd gecko using the xenogc or as a .dol in general. Any help would be appreciated :3

Itd be awesome if someone could build a simple dol bootstrap for it. Im probably never going to use xenoshell, and reburning swiss every time theres an update is redundant.

Without upgrading the hardware (pushing the cost of the modchip much higher than what you find xenos for nowadays) that'd be pretty hard, the flash in the atmega8 is way too small to fit an interesting payload, even iplboot. It might be possible to write a tiny bootstrap that works similarly to the...

I was wondering about this since i recently ordered a xenogc. Is this possible to do anyway? (Even using an rpi as a xenogc?) I know the software of other chips can be overwritten as well so i was wondering about this. Any help would be aprreciated! Thanks in advance :3
