Specifications

Opus

The Opus motherboard is exactly the same as the Falcon, with exception to a custom A/V port that is installed, and the removal of the HDMI port. These modifications allow the Opus to fit into the casings for a Xenon. This was used for refurbishing defective consoles until the Elpis boards started being produced. The part number is also the same as Falcon.

  • Custom A/V port to fit the HDMI board layout while being able to fit into the Xenon casing
  • All Opus' use 4x128MB Qimonda HYB18H1G321AF-14 RAM
