Would this motherboard run hyperspin fine?
BobA:
If you ever get another xbox do a softmod. Does the same but no soldering.

I know, I should have. But I had no copy of splintercell/mechassault/007, nor do I have a computer with an IDE port to do the hotswap.
So for the same price of buying one of those used games, I thought I'd buy a modchip. Biggest mistake

I only discovered AdvMENUPlus because of Calamity and VeS' work with GroovyArcade. It's primarily an Italian / Spanish project from the looks of it. It's the default frontend for GroovyArcade. :) I've been working on integrating Cabrio into GroovyArcade, which is HyperSpin-esque but without requiring Flash and works on Linux.

Never bothered running GroovyArcade when i noticed that they support 586 and up only. I tend to use older hardware to run mame. Actually been thinking of forking PuppyArcade and creating a version with a full frontend in order to use with older hardware. :)

Here's how bad I messed it up:

I don't have a picture of the xbox, but it looked the same. I threw it away out of frustration.

Can the mod chip be saved/fixed?

Pardon my french, but you have ---smurfing--- gotta be kidding me. :) 586 or up is *Pentium 1* era. As in, 60mhz Pentium, as in, *20* years old!
If you have an 486 machine or older that you're wanting to use for MAME, I want whatever you're smoking. Heck, I can even donate you a Sparc IPX or a NeXTstation Pro. ;) My 486SLC-25 could barely play the X port of Pacman and XGalaga, let alone *emulate* them.
