So this Executer 2 chips is a good one then? There's no switch on the outside of the xbox. So there is no way of disabeling it. I could of course attempt to install the switch myself. I did manage to get some emulators - including a version of mame running from a burned DVD which was a treat. I had to use a special program that creates some sort of reverse dvd-rom format iso that is used by the xbox but the iso can be burned by any dvd-burning program.
Finding the binaries for those emulators and applications is a big hassle - probably because the binaries are built using non-legal dev-tools. Which is a shame. The xbox shares so many components with a regular Pentium III pc that developing for it is relatively easy. The quality of the homebrew (emulation & ports of older games) is just amazing. Far superior than the stuff you'll be able to get running on your dreamcast. The DC is almost always able to boot off cd-r's without the need for a mod.
I am still not sure what to do. Make a switch or rip it out or leave it in there. The amount of live-enabled games in my collection is pretty decent but quite a few of the 'ímportant' live games do work on the 360 with Live and the others have just no live-community left. So I'll probably leave it as it is for now and play the live enabled games on the 360.
So I am thinking about the switch and if I leave the mod-chip in there I definitely will upgrade the hard drive to be able to install games it using some nice program that will do that for you automatically. Perhaps I'll just go hunt down an unmodded xbox to sit next to it. Perhaps an unmodded box is even cheaper than what I payed for the unexpected MOD.
