Hi, you can find many XenoGC installation gudes on Youtube:
for example here:

And here is XenoGC specification on wiki:
http://www.gc-forever.com/wiki/index.php?title=XenoGC
As you can see it has these features:
# direct boot of DVD+-RW media
# compatible with all regions & all versions
# region free loading
# super easy wireless install
# no need to remove mainboard
# PAL/NTSC region force
# installation control LEDs
# switchable read setting adjustment / error retry
# switchable audiofix
# anti-static packaging
# extremely low cost
Also other modchips for GameCube exist but this is cheapest and have very good references. I have some soldering skills and successfully repaired another electronic devices previously.
In XenoGC specification is:
Check your install if you only get the red LED, or it doesn't light up at all.
I have orange LED flashing - blinking not red, so my install can be good. But in specification is not inscribed if oragne LED(this is second vesion of XenoGC with red led for bad instalation and orange LED for good instalation, first version XenoGC 1.0 has also red LED for bad instalation but green LED for good).
Red LED on my chip light not at all - this is good, orange LED for good instalation blinking - flashing and i not known if orange LED may light continuously or flashing for signal of good instalation.
I burn ISO with ImgBurn - this is recommended freeware software for burning GameCube or other consoles games from images to boot optical disc like is CD-R, DVD-R, DVD+R etc.(Is better software for this task than NERO, I have previously problem with one game for 3DO burned with NERO, after I burn it with ImgBurn this game work OK).
I did everything according to verified procedures from this page:

Many people use this quides and have no problems, after XenoGC installation games from all regions burned with ImgBurn to 8cm 1,4GB DVD-R working OK. Also i have one of most recommended brands "Verbatim" of 8cm 1,4GB DVD-R, in one post is information that Sony 1,4GB DVD-R sometime do problems on GameCube but anyone hasnt problem with Verbatim.
Still on my GameCube original game work OK, but backup DVD-R no...
I will be thankfull for all tips what problem this can be...
