We find the Messiah X update quite funny. First of all the PLCC chips were given out for free for people to have a play. Secondly the incorrect PCB design affected just a couple of hundred chips - they really like to pick dont they
The funniest part is - I quote "Understanding how the XBOX works". Well thats easy - they simply rip one of the current chips (note how their DVD RESET feature dissapeared once they assumed it didn't work on Enigmah) - and scope out the CE line to get rid of the address line inputs (already been done).
While its great that other mods are being designed - I love how they try to fool everyone into thinking that they have any understanding of how the actual patch works. Just ask them if they have the key to decrypt the original ROM image. Why can't they just say - hey we ripped Enigmah / Xtender and we can scope the CE to get the wires down to 12 ?
Biggest test I think is to wait until a new ROM version is out - let's see how fast they update, or what excuse they come up with. One quote that we enjoyed the most from 3 weeks ago "Available this week".
I wonder how much custom made software Messiah will be releasing over the next few weeks .......?
Immature and pissy yes - but hey we've been on a high since the sweet sports weekend and the last couple of days has been a big comedown - so had to have just a little dig to perk the spirits
