Many people keep asking about this so here is a situation report. There is no such thing as "original" or "clone" regarding Modchips. Team Ankarah sell the code and pcb design to the highest bidder. There are others who extract the CLPD by hacking, who didn't pay Team Ankarah for it, this code is also sold to anyone who can afford it. All in a wonderful mess. In reality there are many suppliers producing Aladdin Advance Modchips, not just one.
Unfortunately some modders state they sell original and even have info "how to spot clones" only to make sure everyone buy their chip. This sales trick really works, since some feel encouraged by thinking they know how to spot a fake. The truth is Aladdin Advance Plus can be sold with/without sticker, with/without Antistatic bag, with/without Aladdin Advance print on the main circuit.
If you worry about the modchip working or not, make sure you buy from a supplier/source you trust (Me!
), who can replace bad chips if needed. That will help a lot more than knowing "how to spot a fake" modchip
Hope this helps
