The All 360 Xbox 360 Mod Chip is compatible with ALL DVD Drives currently on the market! If you want to play Homebrew applications, DVD-R, backups and more on your Xbox 360 console then this Mod Chip is a must have!!

The All 360 Mod Chip is plug and play, meaning that it does not require extracting the drive-key from the console because the ACTEL CPLD bypasses the Xbox 360 drive-key check, no lousy Firmware Hack Needed! It retains all original firmware and there’s no need for any firmware-reading or flashing

The All 360 Mod Chip is a universal Xbox 360 DVD-Drive firmware upgrader. An upgraded firmware allows for better performance of your DVD drive while reading DVD-R DL support. It features DVD Drive-key “on-the-fly” patching, which automatically boots the “unsigned” firmware on-board!!

• No need to extract the drive-key from the original firmware of drive on your console, only install the chip and the “unsigned” firmware on-board will boot .
• Upgraded firmware for better performance of your DVD-drive to reading DVD-R DL support ( eg: you should use on LG/Hitachi the firmware vers. 059 instead your original 047D or 46D).
• Electronic Switch ON/OFF allows you to enable or disable the chip when turn-on your console by power button, you can check the state of chip by a led-indicator .
• Easy to reprogram on-board Flash EPROM mounted on a socket connector for an easy and clean remove in order to quickly reprogram it.
