Soft Modded X-Box

[Jim]

I can do it anytime this week.

218-979-1130

We can set something up!

[theoblivious]

yeah im totally interested. so you can play xbox live for free?

[PSiedTSi]

its not actually xbox live its a different one

wahoo 1100 posts...w00t!!

[Jim]

no. xbox live is basically incompatible with any sort of mod / chip / anything besides retail.

you will need to shut off all mods if you want to play on live, and for any live game you'll need the retail game / subscribtion cost.

[Phats]

so basically, if i want to play online, i'd have to buy the game. But if there's a game out there, that has a shitty online mode, i rent it burn it and paly for ever, not having to but it??????

i'm in!!!

Jim PMed I want this done bad!

[PSiedTSi]

[Jim]

The free "xbox live" is called Xlink Kai:

Check it out. It needs to be played through a PC or through a specific linksys router.

[amicheze]

[Jim]

its pretty sweet...

[Bryce]

[Jim]

Ok I got it and every thing works perfect! People do this, its soooooo worth the money!
Jim I have some questions:

1. How do I use the NES roms? I know you said somthing about switching HD's to my E drive but I'm not sure how to do that.

2. FF6 is the Japanese copy how can I change that to a american copy?
   Can I bun a cd and download it on the HD or what should I do? I only have a mac and I'm not sure if there is a program out there to let X-box's talk to macs.

[Jim]

From the Evo X Dashboard (Main Screen):

1. Go to Apps
2. Select FCE
3. "Select Games"
4. Hit the blue button (x) a few times until you get to main drive listing: (ex. C:\ D:\ E:, etc..)
5. Select the E:\ drive and press the green button.
6. Select the folder: NES ROMS
7. choose the game you want and hit the green button.
8. select any settings you want and hit the "b" button to launch!

Seems complicated, but its not, you can book mark your favorite games and then from there on out, just select from your favorites.

The xbox supports FTP:

IP: 192.168.0.3
User: xbox
Pass: xbox

You can FTP in and upload new roms or games.

FF6 english should be there if not, i'll do some searching around and send it on over to you (you can stick it on a cd or whatever you want)

[karter_2_22]

is there anyway to do this to a ps2??? anyone know

[amicheze]

you could get a mod chip for it.. but i really dont think theres any way of doing it like jim does since it doesnt have a hd. maybe im wrong?

[Jim]

mod chip or swap disk.

swap disk is you just put it in, it prompts you to eject and put in the burned game.

[Bryce]

I have a copy of FF6 and some other SNES games that it does not have on my HD. So I can just burn a CD and import them on to the hard drive?

And what is mini-linix for? I know its a OS but what can I use it for?

[Bryce]

Jim any word on my problem?

[Jim]

You need to adjust the settings of the screen positioning.

If your tv can do it, or there are software settings in Evo X

jsut to let everybody know he was having problems with the image being larger then his screen slightly so he coudlnt see the text at the bottom
