Does it still work if you take out all the parts and just have a shell? I heard the parts are just there to add weight.

:stuck_out_tongue:

I have one of the original xboxes that never hit the streets. The see thru green ones. Not the one that you can buy today but the original (Xboxes were initally going to be see thru green with black being released later). But I have seen some seriously wicked mods to the xbox tho.

i have a guestion :slight_smile:

I’ve heard that if you mod/chip your xbox, then it will not work on xbox live!

Is that true???

Okay, so I know absolutely nothing about XBox modding… I’m wondering if GameCube emulators exist yet? I know I could probably just search, but so far I’ve been looking in all the wrong places, and I’m just about to throw in the towel. If it’s possible to mod an XBox to play GC games, how much does it cost?

Wow how did you get that, ebay maybe? Was it expensive?

I’ve heard the same thing, I believe it’s true. There was a guy renting games at my vid store for a bit, and he modded xbox’s. Said he could copy the game to the box with a mod chip; there was a switch that allowed him to play them; but if you are ever caught with the switch set to on on xbox live, you get banned for life. So you need to buy the games to play them live, and set the switch off.

hmmm…I was seriously considering moding my xbox like 5 months ago, then i heard about xbox live issues. Thats why i just decided not to. Thing is I’m not really a hard gamer anyway so i dont need that many games. The only reason i would do it would be to play all kinds of dvd’s on it. But hey, Who really wants to get banned from xbox live for life !!! I think i’ll pass :run:

Thanks for the reply though :wink:

Got a picture DDD?

YES, u can play in live as long as u turn off ur chip before playing, like radioxromance said (with a switch installed of course :)), bacause u can be banned from the service if its on. There´s nothing like having ur xbox modded :pleased:

It was one of the perks of my former job. I just kept it. Good thing is that it plays burnt games. Bad thing is it only plays burnt games…lol. It does not play the new titles (it was a development xbox).

well if you use the UDE 2.0 method you can most definitely play online and its a very simple hack infos on xbox-scene

I have a Xenium modchip and it’s been great so far. It has an option for turning off the mod right when you boot up (just press in the white button and boot to stock bios instead of a hacked one). It’s very simple really.

the benifits are awesome with a hacked box. You have a home multi-media system all in one. It plays games, dvd’s, vcd’s, svcd’s, divx, kvcd’s, mpeg’s, all audio and image formats… the list goes on and on. I also like that I don’t have to switch disks all the time when playing a new game.

I love my modded box :love:

Do you have to solder with a soft mod? I heard about a mod chip that has pins on springs so you don’t have to solder. If there is a way to play the games I saved on the hard drive then I would jump on this. Never heard of a soft mod.

[color=black][font=‘Times New Roman’][font=Verdana][size=2] Your thinking of POGO pins and they are not on springs like a pogo stick or something. Yes you can install a mod chip without soldering that is light modding but with light modding you don’t even have to open the case up their are exploits in games that you can use to load Linux into the xbox. But this can be a hassle and you have to get all the right stuff. Solder less mod chips like the Xecuter2.3B light +. This uses pins to push down into the ports that you would normally have to solder this is a good alternative if you do not like to solder but soldering is by far the best way you get a 100% connection. I have tried other ways and they do work but sometimes you don’t get a good connection and you xbox wont start so you have to open the xbox and jiggle it around and it is a pain.[/size][/font] [/font][/color]

I wanna jiggle an XBox.
