How to Install an Aladdin XT Plus2 Modchip in a Xbox 1.6

This tutorial will show you how to install the Aladdin XT Plus2 modchip in an original Xbox console, specifically a 1.6 motherboard revision. Unfortunately the 1.6 variant of the Xbox remedied the option to allow users to TSOP flash the console, so in order to run a custom BIOS you must hardmod the system with a modchip. If you are wanting to run a custom BIOS but do not want to go through the hassle that might come with installing this modchip, I would recommend looking for a older motherboard variant and going with a TSOP flash. However, if your only console option is a 1.6 or you're wanting to do this for the fun of it, you've come to the right place!

This process involves soldering a pin header to the LPC DEBUG port, rebuilding the LPC to allow the modchip to manipulate the console, enabling the modchip to be always-on, and cutting a trace for the console's LFRAME.

A big thank you goes out to DarkGabbz, who originally introduced me this modchip and also clarified several points of the install process. Follow him on Twitter here:
