Just wanted to share alil success I've had today, Awhile back I got a xeno chip from badad... first go I figured simple install no wires.... *wrong* lol had trouble...pulled contacts and so I decided the hell with it ill just grab another gc and chip and do a fresh start with wires. (which yes was total success) I wouldn't even suggest going wireless *doh* why would they even make you think this would be very easy lol though im sure some have pitched it just right its just too much trouble. Anyway as I was looking for diagrams to wire with... then I found out the alternate points some have used on the other side of the drive, with this I decided to try and make a recovery attempt and see if i could get both to work..... I did. (probably should have looked for alt. points to begin with but there you have it) Heres the fresh install; And heres the 2nd chance; not the most beautiful thing....but hey it works. maybe I can get the same luck out of some dreamcast bios?
Nice job, glad you got it working. The vias on the GC rip out very easily. Sometimes a dab of hot glue over the points isn't a bad idea so it doesn't rip out or fall off or something. A properly soldered chip shouldn't *need* the glue, but like I said, it can help secure it.
