How to Install Xenium Ice Mod Chip

The Xbox is a gaming system manufactured by Microsoft that offers realistic graphics and sound, as well as online play. It can also run homebrew software once modded with the Xenium Ice modchip. This allows homebrew and other system utilities to be loaded on the console, so you can play Xbox game back ups and copy games to the hard drive. The Xenium Ice modchip provides for solderless installation.
