What Does An Xbox 360 Mod Chip Do?

If you have an Xbox 360, or are thinking of getting one, you’ve probably heard of mod chips. In fact, if you have something to do with gaming consoles these days, then you have heard of mod chips, modified systems, chip systems, and mods. They all refer to the same thing: a chip that is created to make changes to the way a game console works.

Xbox 360 mod chips are like any other mod chip, they are designed to take control of your Xbox 360 system and remove specific limitations imposed by the manufacturer, Microsoft. The chip can then access specific functions of your xBox 360 that have been blocked or restricted. This often means things like playback restrictions. You can import, backup, hack, homebrew, and bypass all kinds of security features or other limitations.

Mod chips can be used to play games that the system itself has been designed to reject. Although this is not its only use or its only function. For the same reason that people like to pimp their car, bike, or computer, Xbox owners like to pimp their box. Modchips Expand Your Console Capabilities

Game consoles such as the XBox 360, Play Station 3, Nintendo Wii, and Gamecube are designed by the company to play specific types of disc, only from local regions. These machines have region codes, just like DVD players, for example, someone in the US can’t play a Japanese or Australian version of a game on their American box. In the case of the XBox 360, you cannot play anything that is not licensed by Microsoft, including your own creations, backups, or custom games. A mod chip can allow you to avoid this so that you can play your own custom games, discs, backed up games, and games purchased in countries other than the one you purchased your Xbox from.

Of course, the main reason for these security features is to protect against pirated games and to guard against code that could damage the system. Unfortunately, in their efforts to secure the machines, the console manufacturers applied restrictions that many of their customers consider unnecessary and obstructive. And let’s face it, who pimp a car with safety in mind?
