Soft Modded X-Box
-
I'm modding another x-box tomorrow...
Setup includes:
Built in FTP Server for transfering games -> pc and vice versa
Ability to store X-Box games on harddriveI now have all emulators working, this allows you to play other game system games on your X-BoX:
Playstation (1)
N64
SNES
Genisis
NES
Gameboy
Game GearFor the cartridge game systems (everything but PS1, I have roms for them all, so basically every game ever made for these systems, they can be stored on the harddrive of the xbox).
Also features a Media Center, allows you to play divx files and such, stream media from your pc, do whatever.... limited TiVO function as well.
I'd prob be willing to start a library of burned X-Box games that I could make available (on dvd-r) to you all if you were interested...

Its ok I have the full rom collections.
It's pretty simple... basically as you guys know, the x-box is just a computer. People have devloped a linux based operating system to run a 3rd party OS instead of the restrictive microsoft one. The "dashboard" or the menus that you see when you boot the xbox change and such to give you more options.
What mod chips and soft-mods do, are chage the bios to allow for a new OS to be put on. Then once the bios is changed, a new OS is loaded on the harddrive. From there you can install other applications such as emulators etc...
The way I did my soft mod was to buy a USB adapter for the memory card, load the exploit, rent splinter cell, run the save game exploit, load UDE2 (ultimate dashboard exploit) which changes the bios, then run the install of the new dashboard, and finally setup an FTP server so you can copy games, load new files etc...
You can use a standard cross over to connect to it, or you can actually set it up on your LAN.
Yes, this will continue to work with X-Box Live, but you must switch back to the original MS dashboard first (aka no copying of xbox live games if you want to play on xbox live)
haha the funny thing is... just got an xbox last night at like 9:00pm

i currently don't have an xbox, but i'm interested in where you all get the ROM's from.
I'm running emulation on my dreamcast and have only found nintendo ROMS so far. -
At the moment I have 715 Nintendo Roms, and 290 SNES Roms.
Is anybody interested in other systems such as gameboy, etc...? Otherwise I won't bother downloading them all.
Right now I can offer:
1. XBMC - Xbox Media Center
Currently XboxMediaCenter can be used to play/view most popular video/audio/picture formats such as MPEG-1/2/4, DivX, XviD, MP3, AAC, JPG, GIF plus many more less known formats directly from a CD/DVD in Xbox DVD-ROM drive or of the Xbox harddrive, XBMC can also play files from a PC over a local network and even stream media streams directly from the internet. XBMC has playlist and slideshow functions, a weather forecast and many audio visualizations. All these features enable the Xbox
running XboxMediaCenter to fully function as a multimedia jukebox. XBMC is easy to use, it's convenient, flexible and offers great price/performance ratio.2. Emulators
I can install all 700+ NES and 290+ SNES Roms on your harddrive of your xbox.
3. Soft - Mod
Install and modify X-Box; play burned games, watch dvd's without the remote, play emulators, access to your xbox via FTP, play on alternative xbox live for free, and lots more....

I want in too.
I would pick up an XBOX just to do this. Can you fix XBOXs?
-
yes please
-
have you figured a price yet?
-
price please?
-
Pricing as follows:
$50 - Mod install w/ everything included: Ltools (Linux Tools), EvoX (New Dashboard), Bios Mod (Play burned games), FTP Server
This will include everything you need to start adding programs, and other things to your xbox, but you should be confident modifying files in Linux, and have a basic understanding of networking if your going to attempt to mod it further.
$25 - Install of XBMC (Xbox media center), SNES, NES and PSX emulators; I will include the roms for free either on a cd so you can pick and choose what you want on, or I'll upload all of them to the harddrive.
Seems pretty fair, let me know if it doesnt to you, you don't have to buy a mod chip, which usually costs $60, you dont void your warranty (box never gets opened), and if you think about it, you'll re-coup the cost of the entire mod by not buying a game or two.
I'll be more then glad to walk you through how to use it once its done.
Let me know!
