![]() ![]() If an onboard storage appears then you have a 4gb Corona and should use our 4gb Corona Guide and if you don't show an onboard storage then you have a 16mb Corona nand and should use our 16mb Corona Guide. This is easily determined by simply powering up the console, visiting the storage menu, and looking for a ~4gb onboard storage unit. If you have a Corona console, you'll still need to determine if you have a 4gb Nand or a 16mb Nand. As of today in 2018 there is still no method to do any hardware modificaitons to the Winchester console. The bad news here is if you have a Winchester, you're just out of luck. Here is an example of a Winchester XCGPU: In the Corona consoles they stil have an IHS (integrated heat sink) an on the Winchester motherboards they do not. The only way to know for absolutely 100% certain is to open up the console and remove the heatsink and take a look at the XCGPU. Consoles with a MFR date of 07-2014 and AFTER are likely to be the non-modable Winchester motherboard.Consoles with a MFR date of 06-2014 and BEFORE are likely to be Corona.Winchester (as of 2018 no current method exists to mod this console) :-(Īs with the Slim S series console the MFR date can be a good indicator, but it is not 100% reliable.Corona (just like in the Slim S series all are mod-able).The Slim E series console has two motherboard possibilities, and it is important to determine which one is in the console you want to modify: If for some reason you're unsure about checking the storage menu on the console, or want to be really-extra-double-sure that you have either a 4gb or a 16mb Corona you can visually identify them by inspecting the nand chip on the console: In a Corona motherboard one header is vertical and the other is rotated 90 degress to be horizontal like this: You can now go follow the guide for Trinity consoles. ![]() All Trinities, even the ones that have the 4gb add-on, have a 16mb nand and are modded in the same way. If you have a Trinity console, there is no need to check anything further. In a Trinity motherboard the headers are vertical and paralell to each other like this: The quickest check to tell a Trinity from a Corona is to examine the J2C1 and J2C3 headers (JTAG header). To be 100% certain you'll need to open up the console and inspect the motherboard. The dates mentioned above are about 90% accurate as far as determining your motherboard version but I have seen some consoles that were Trinities with a much later MFR date, and I've seen a few Coronas in consoles with earlier MFR dates. You do need to determine your specific motherboard type so that you can get the correct supplies. ![]()
