Hidden and Unlockable Games for The Original Xbox - Easily play with a modded Xbox | MVG
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- The Original Xbox has a small library of titles that contain hidden and unlockable games. In most instances you need to complete the main game to in order to play the unlockable game.
In this video with a modded xbox, and a copy of a custom dashboard, like Unleash X, i show games that i have that contain unlockable or hidden games and how to play them without needing to unlock them in the main game.

Dead or alive ultimate comes on 2 disks , one for DOA2 the other DOA1, what they dont tell you is that the disks are identical and they just renamed the XBE between the two disks, you only need one of them to play both games on a moded xbox XD
yes thank you! how did i forget about this one
It made it look like you were getting more for your money than you really were. Not to say DOAU wasn't a great game, it's one of my favourites in the series. On the upside, it did let you play online with a friend with one copy of the game. If they were using the DOA1 disc and you invited them to a game of 2U it would launch 2U from the DOA1 disc. So there was that, at least.
While it's true that both discs contain both games and you can launch either game from either disc using the method described in the video, they actually aren't identical. The two game XBEs (not default.xbe which is just a loader) are completely different. At the time some people split the two games to separate directories/discs and deleted the DOA2 game data from the DOA1 parent directory thereby bringing it's installed size down to about 250MB. This rather neat trick saved nearly 4GB of HDD space.
you should come join up with the xbox mod scene. we're on Facebook OG xbox group. We greatly appreciate everything you did with xbox.
HPZeta I noticed that when I ripped both to the hard drive and thought it was funny they made it 2 discs. They could have saved a lot of discs by just making a selectable menu in the game I guess XD
Note: I am aware of Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Terminator 3 containing unlockable games too but they cant be played with this method as they are embedded inside main game rather than a seperate executable.
Modern Vintage Gamer hey man i really love your original XB Modded videos... unfortunately i know NOTHING about coding/hacking/modding... do you or anyone you know mod XBox’s for a fee if i send it out? PLEASE let me know and keep on brother!!
If you paid for shipping both ways I would do it free, but you would need to send a hard drive (preferably IDE but you can get SATA adapters) and if you wanted an 80 pin IDE cable, I would do a soft mod and install the hard drive for you and from there you would have the menu and off you go :) (FTP over games and emulation is pretty easy.) I guess I would take a look at the clock capacitor as well (they go bad and removing them is a good idea, and they cause no problems being removed unless it's a 1.6 version Xbox.)
Or just buy the USB adapter from Amazon for like 7 bucks and a copy of Splinter Cell for like 8 bucks and do the soft mod yourself. The hard drive upgrade is pretty easy you can find really good video's on how to do it on youtube. This is the cheapest option since shipping an Xbox is expensive. removing the capacitor is pretty easy too, again lots of youtube video's on it.
You can do a lot of stuff with just the built in 8-10GB hard drive but if you have like a 200GB or larger IDE drive laying around, things get really fun. Look for a "Ninja Massive" and "Ninja Massive pack" so much emulation goodness.
Edit: I only recently got an Xbox. so a lot of this stuff is new to me but it was so much easier than say installing a mod chip in a PS2... Even easier than installing a Wiikey in a Wii. Love the Xbox's build... very PC like inside. :)
RoboTronix i have NO idea what u just said! Hahahaha im willing to pay shipping and such however. Where do u live (country)
OGXbox.com and the OGXBOX Facebook group will walk you through doing it on your own. you should be able to do it for a total of like $40 for an xbox with a controller and a mod job.
Steven Benson thank you for that link!!! @ Steven Tchorz I am in Florida inside the USA, it would probably be too expensive to ship :( They cost an arm and a leg due to the weight of the machine, it is built like a tank :)
There's also Ninja Gaiden (Original) and Ninja Gaiden Black. Ninja Gaiden (Original) has three unlockable games, they are the NES Ninja Gaiden games. Ninja Gaiden Black has only one unlockable game, and it's the arcade version of the game. And Ninja Gaiden Sigma (Remake on PS3) removed these unlockables.
I just checked my Ninja Gaiden Black disc and it contains both the US and Japanese versions of the arcade game, named NinjaTrilogy.xbe for Ninja Gaiden and NinjaTomoe.xbe for Ninja Ryukenden respectively. Thanks for the tip.
Actually, they're SNES versions, which are inferior and were supposedly not optimized for the SNES. They play much slower (as a result, they're less difficult), music is different and some of the tracks were cut, parallax scrolling was removed and so on. Also, the trilogy can't be launched with .xbe, they have to be unlocked by beating the game.
Do u know if any of those can be played on the xbox one since the game is backward compatible?
Remember when you could unlock things in games and not pay for them.
teddybeddy123 Too painful to remember the good old days.
...that'll be 29.99 to "DLC" something on the disc
Animal Crossing had all those NES games built in. I loved that.
Gaming in 10 years: Congrats you found an easter egg! Pay $5.99 rn to open it.
Turns around and looks at EA
Great stuff MVG. I think my faves were Maniac Mansion inside Day of the Tentacle and the magic carpet style flight sim hidden in Excel 97 :D
RetroManCave Right! DOTT came out in 1993 and was the first game I remember having a secret game inside.
You mentioned being able to play classic arcade games in Yakuza 0 but don't forget that in Yakuza 6 it's possible to play the arcade/PS3 game *Virtua Fighter 5!* :)
Krock dude really??!!!! Can’t you play other modern arcade games too? Like tyko drum master?
Anthony And The Machine Taiko Drum Master is in Yakuza 5, don't know if it's in Yakuza 6
No, there's just Virtua Fighter 5 and Puyo Puyo (as well as the games already in 0).
Playable arcade games are a standard thing in Yakuza games. No need to really talk about them much as they are not hidden, as he said you just go to Club Sega in game.
Really? Thanks for the info.
So crazy!! Right when you said “the earliest hidden game I remember was the original Pitfall on the PC Pitfall” I was saying and answering the same thing in my mind. I was so blown away with this and thought it to be the coolest thing.
Another one I remember was being able to play Maniac Mansion on the computer in the game for PC “Day of the Tentacle”. Which btw has been ported to iOS for 5$. When I bought it was so happy to play it again but I also went immediately to the computer in Ed’s room to see if Maniac Mansion was still able to be played and sure enough it was. $5 for two incredible games is well worth it.
Spy Hunter (2001) for Xbox contained the original 1983 arcade title namesake on the disc, which was unlocked by entering the profile name Ogspy when making a new file. I was surprised not to see it in your video!
damn good catch - i totally forgot about this one. Have the game too!
Sounds like you've got enough suggestions here for a part 2 video.
Super cool. The original Xbox really is a system that keeps on giving.
Great video man. Actually, everything I've watched on your channel so far today has been great. I don't know why I held off on watching your stuff for so long. Keep it up!
likewise my friend. your content is A+++. keep it up !
Modern Vintage Gamer Aw, thanks!
Hidden and Unlockable Games
EA: $60 DLC.
Right.🤣🤣🤣🤣
Project Gotham Racing 2 (for the Original Xbox) contained the game: Geometry Wars and could be played via the in-game garage. Also, I'm not sure if it would count in this case, but Jade Empire had a playable demo of Conker: Live & Reloaded (as well as another game that escapes me) that was playable via the main menu.
I remember in "Full Spectrum Warrior", you could unlock the official army training version with a code. That was also a separate .xbe on the disc.
I love games that come with old classics as a bonus. I bought quake 4 the other day and it freaking came with a bonus disc with a beautiful version of quake 2! It’s so awesome. I remember when I learned I could play old nes games in animal crossing. I immediately bought an action replay disc to unlock all of them.
man
you're the only person who has shown that you can do a lot with the Xbox than it was designed to do
Thanks for the awesome rundown of these titles! I only knew of Panzer Dragoon Orta but I never looked into any of the others, I do own Shenmue 2 so I'm happy to know I have 4 more games I can play in that :D
Same thing to me!!
:d
Hey it's MrMario :)
:0
Namco Museum and Pac Man World 2 also contain hidden and unlockable arcade games.
Loving the xbox related videos!
Loving the shitbox videos.
Great video MVG! I recall Doom3 BFG Edition has the Original Doom and Doom 2 on it :) Although you can play anytime as I recall no need to unlock
Am I the only one who wants to go back to being a kid and having all these systems with the knowledge you have now
First hidden game I found was the awesome snail game when I got my UK Master System when I was a kid.
Was on original American SMS as well.
The more I watch your channel, the more I am impressed with what the Original Xbox could do and I'm also glad that I bought because I felt nostalgic after watching your videos.
Does this same method work for Doom 1+2 on Doom 3's disk?
Great video! There's definitely a few games I need to add to my library soon.
It's really cool that House of the Dead 2 and 3 are on the same disc for Xbox. I've only played the Wii version and I must say 2 is oodles tougher than 3, so it's only appropriate to include the prior as an unlock.
This is a great video. I didn't know about any of these.
Classic Gaming Quarterly Agreed. Great video.
your perspective is very close to my own, in regards to retro gaming.Thanks for the vids, MVG, they are a fantastic reference tool and very interesting/informative. I've been enjoying your work thoroughly :)
I knew these games existed on these games.... But I had no idea you could rip and play these with such ease. This was a fantastic video. Thank you.
I freakin' love it when developers include such little old titles!
They won't gain anything from these anymore anyway, so it's a good idea to include them to raise the value of the new game!
Had no idea about the Panzer Dragoon secret, and it looks a lot better than the PS2 port I have! Very nice video as usual, thanks.
its actually much better than the pc port runs smoother and good controls
PC Port also requires a very specific graphics card to run
@@Agret No it doesn't. It had SUPPORT for the NV1, but worked with virtually anything. It has a software renderer.
Source: own the Win95 PD, never owned an NV1.
You are my current favorite RUclipsr.
And I feel like it's not going to change.
This wasnt exactly hidden, but blades of steel had a mini game shmup in between periods sometimes, just reminded me of it, great vid!
hey, i vote for an xdk setup video for the original xbox, pleeeease?
Yeah getting it set up on both a chipped xbox with a modded bios and a softmodded xbox with a bios loader is a fun process it would make a good video.... Never tried it on a flashed TSOP xbox but that's probable not a wise idea anyways :P
I'd love that, given that there are a bunch of things I'd like to develop for the OG Xbox, and I have a dual-boot softmod
I remember that Shenmue 1 on Dreamcast had 2 games too. I think it was Hang On and Space Harrier, and other arcade games like QTE events, and Darts.
That Prince of Persia game is interesting, it looks like it's the Mega CD port of the game (as he wears all white in the original (and the Mega Drive version)) how bizarre :S
Hello you
How bizarre, how bizarre. Ooh baby it's driving me crazy every time I turn around
I find all your content really high quality and rather interesting to watch. I've often 'liked' your content, but only just realised I've never subscribed - that's now fixed!
in COD WW2 if you go down to the beach in the HQ area, there is an arcade system with all Activision titles on it from the 80s
Glad to see all the Xbox videos. Got me motivated to get my OG Xbox out and playing. It's back in my living room right next to my current gen systems. So happy that the new Hdmi adapter/cable works on my 4K TV. Keep the videos coming! thank you.
Yep, love finding hidden games. Death Tank on the Saturn version of Duke Nuk'em 3D was the first I found out about.
Not technically a game in a game but Doom on DVD unlocks a demo for Doom 3 when put into an original Xbox
Brisk Guy Same with some of the Star Wars DVD's.
Same thing if u put Van helsing on the OG xbox u get to play the demo of the game. I think with King Arthur too
Chronicles of Riddick too
And Hulk
New viewer here. I don't own an Xbox but this video came up in my suggestions. Interesting stuff. It's always nice when developers put hidden games in like that.
the unlockable house of the dead 2 game was a great sorprise for me back in the day. i am a huge fan of that game, and seeing it running as an extra on the xbox was mind blowing
man your channel has bought me so much joy and nostalgia from my childhood! :')
I think this is an amazing series to start. If you get more titles make another one of these. super cool.
I love that you use UnleashX, it was always my favorite. I used to play these games like this, too. Specifically, the arcade games on Shenmue 2.
xbox vids are the best. we need more emus. maybe Sega Saturn?
MarcoLoves360gamer It's a very tricky system to emulate. There was a bit of a breakthrough over a year ago but I've not heard anything since.
I'm pretty sure that the sound issues in the TMNT games come from the fact Konami probably had the rights to the characters & the prior games they made based on them, but they didn't have rights to the famous theme song used in the cartoon show. Many level themes use variations on that melody, so it was just easier to replace the music.
Great video! It’s great there’s a way to play the hidden games without the need to play through the mundane main game 😅
All these xbox videos are sure to bring attention to xlink and the console anyway.... love it keep it up, got a few mates to buy an og because of xlink!
Xlink was always pretty dodgy for me, used to use XBConnect to play Halo 2 mods :)
The original Sega Master System has a hidden game inside the console, you can play it without any cartridge, it's a snail in a maze, I got really excited when I randomly found it as a kid, played it for hours.
Pitfall remake for xbox includes the original one too.Doom 3 has doom 1 and 2.The second bonus disc of the special edition of halo 2 has halo flash based games.
Great stuff! Quality entertainment for any game enthusiast.
Awesome! My original pd1 game for Saturn got broken while listening to the bgm in a CD player, now I can try the Xbox version in Orta!
This is great because I'm only now at a point where I can start modding my old consoles. Thanks for all the work you did on the emulators back in the day and please keep up the good work!
Love Monday cause we get a new MVG vid!!!! This channel rocks!
very unique content. I usually just watch videos by American users because I don't want to see all the good stuff that I'm missing out on which is come out overseas and not over here. Something like that at least but these videos are really cool and I am subscribing to your Channel. Don't worry I don't expect to see more of these. But I'm sure whatever you come out with in the future has the potential to be really cool as well. Cheers
The first Geometry Wars was a playable arcade machine in the car garage in Project Gotham Racing 2.
Cool video man, I never realised this was possible. Thanks for keeping the og xbox love alive!
My favorite hidden game was not on the xbox, but the sega saturn. It was called Death Tanks. It was on the Duke Nukem 3d version of the saturn and there were two ways to unlock it. One way was to destroy every toilet in the game as you beat it. The other way was You had to also own Quake on the Saturn and have a saved game on the saturn's hardrive from each game, Duke Nukem and Quake. Then the game would be unlocked. Death Tanks was a 7 player game that was like Scorched Earth or Worms but instead of taking turns to shoot each other, it was an all out shoot fest! They remade on Xbox live back in 2007 with updated graphics.
I really enjoy the topics of your videos, but wish that you didn't sound like you were reading from a script most of the time! Your outro is natural, and hope to see more of that. :)
ps- really does suck that the Turtles Konami games had changed soundtracks.. very odd. Thankful that I picked up the Classic ver on XBLA, way before it was delisted.
I am a huge fan of playing Saturn and Dreamcast ported games on the Xbox because of the similar control scheme and to many of us Dreamcast fans, it is a spiritual successor and our Dreamcast 2.
That being said, I know there is a Midway Hits compilation out there with great games like San Francisco Rush 2049, 4X4 Thunder, Hydro Thunder and more.
I think somebody in the comments below mentioned the Saturn ports of Dead or Alive 1 as well. But also Crazy Taxi 3 kind of also has the first 2 Dreamcast games available inside of it as well.
I had no idea about HOTDII being on HOTDIII, sure it was an arcade port but the Dreamcast was an Arcade based machine.
I had an original Xbox with the Xecuter3 modchip installed. It was 3 years before I decided to install a custom dashboard. Wow, was I hooked. I installed the EvolutionX dashboard that came packed with numerous other programs. A region free DVD player, a disc ripper and the ability to use game trainers, plus a few others. I had every game for the original Xbox ever released in the USA. I think it totaled close to 840 games. I wound up giving it to my son due to getting a modded XBox360. Now I don't own a console at all.
System Shock 1, way back in 1994 had a few games you could find in cyberspace. One was Pong, and the other was a Wing Commander type game.
That Mortal Kombat ports on the original XBOX are better than the Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection
There is one noticeable con, given that it's the same game from the Midway Arcade Treasures 2 compilation, it has the problem which maps the Start button as the pause button as well, which makes Random Select, and the ability to fight Smoke (by pressing start at the Portal Stage after you do an uppercut that reveals Dan Forden shouting Toasty) very impossible.
I'm sorry, but the Music in the TMNT Arcade Ports sounds Horrible
and for Turtles in Time, it noticeably recycles music from the first TMNT2K3 game (i.e. Skull and Crossbones uses the Street theme)
One of the most impressive parts of this video to me is that you have an original Xbox that still works
If you remove the clock capacitor it should last for years to come. Those caps leak and ruin the board over time.
First hidden game I ever found was Snails on SmS. xD
Timmer Ratajczyk I remember hearing about the Star Wars arcade games in Rogue Squadron 3: Rebel Strike, and by the time I heard about them being in Rogue Squadron 3, I had unlocked two of them. I just didn’t know they were on the disc.
You can also get games like Panzer Dragoon original to boot without the CD too. However you need to copy the whole Panzer Dragoon Orta game to your Xbox HDD into a new folder (preferably within the 'Games' or Homebrew' folder on your F drive). Open up that folder once the files have been copied, rename the default.xbe to something else (doesn't matter what). And then rename the 'PD1.xbe' to 'default.xbe', the game can then be launched automatically without the need for the disc or using file manager. Neat trick but be aware that it does take up a fair amount of disc space but if you've got a large HDD installed then it's something to consider.
Fantastic video. I didn't know about a lot of these, thanks for shedding light on them and the tutorials to access them was very informative as well!
My Xbox was revived thanks to AWSOME guides!
Great informative video. I personally love seeing posts like this!
Great video! I always loved copying these to my internal hdd and trying to make legit cover arts and stuff for them. great memories!!!
Reminds me of making my own multi disc games with MxM back in the day. Searching for the correct .xbe. to launch the games. Good video
I've never noticed this before but Panzer Dragoon is basically Space Harrier (and a bit of After Burner) on dragons. It's taken me this long to figure out. Wow.
Really cool video!!! I have all these games and a modded xbox, started loading up these disc, right after this video!!!
Awesome! I had no idea games I already have like Panzer Dragoon Orta or Prince of Persia had unlockable games!
Great vid as usual Good way to start the day, heh.
Hey MVG, you should do a head to head comparison on the newest Shadow of the Beast original on the ps4 vs actual Amiga Arcade and so on... maybe a comparison on other games. Folks love these I guarantee!! ;)
What a good video! Love the Games console stuff you do!
Loved getting spy hunter on the Xbox, you could unlock the original game.
Damn man! Thanks so much for this :) I've recently bought my modded Xbox, Green Halo limited edition cough cough :p, and thoroughly enjoying it. Got a few road blocks but slowly getting around them. I'm actually burning a copy of Hypervision n roms from Iso Zone into an Iso file onto a double layered DVD disk and preying it works cause my FTP isn't crackin'. Mad respect! PEACE!!!
I know this is a 2 year old video but it just appeared in my recomendations and I have to say two things about the turtles in time port.
1- Konami didn't own the rights for the music anymore
2- It's a port from the original arcade so it's not missing what level. What happens is that in the Snes port of Turtles in Time they added one level.
Excellent list, would love to see more in a future video
Sweet, I didn't know you could do that, I thought it would be a lot more integrated in to the games than that. Will have to look through my collection and see if there's any sneaky secrets :)
Doom 3 Collector's Edition has The Ultimate Doom and Doom II: Hell on Earth unlocked right away. Not sure if those are separate .xbe files or not though.
I think there are, I mean I saw "DOOMLAUNCHER.XBE" the other day and I think that's for doom 1 and doom 2
Panzer Dragoon blew me away when I was young!! Such a great gaming experience
This is very, very cool - I had no idea. I'm gonna have to go digging through my disks now.
If you get enough other viewers finding more, reckon you could do a follow up vid?
It may not be a unlock-able game, but there was an unlock-able movie in "Destroy All Humans!". It was some 60s era movie about some human looking aliens that wanted to colonize Earth or something.
Best retro channel !!!!
Dude great RUclips channel!
Cool I didn’t know about this. A new reason to collect some of these games. Thanks!
Street Fighter Anniversary Collection has separate xbes for the two SF games, allowing you to skip the menu for selecting which game you want to play.
The Doom 3 Collector’s Edition for Xbox contains Ultimate Doom and Doom 2. The ports are a bit janky and not sure if they are easily copied to hard drive, but they exist and are pretty playable.
TheScreaminGoat they also have split screen local multiplayer, which is always nice! It’s always in quarter screen sections, though, so if you don’t have 4 people, part of the screen is just black. Like I said: janky. They’re also on the standalone Resurrection of Evil release, along with the Master Levels for Doom 2.
Doom 3 Resurrection of Evil, yeah that strange standalone expansion have Doom and Doom 2 as portsm, they are not hidden or unlockeable however, they are just on the extras section of the main menu. but if i recall, they are separate executables
On Pac-Man World 2, you can unlock some of the older Pac-Man games in the arcade.
Awesome vid. Didnt know about most of these.
Well, I’m not sure if this counts, but the original Geometry Wars is available in Project Gotham Racing 2 (or was it the original?) when you walk up to the arcade machine in your garage.
Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved is also available in Project Gotham Racing 3 this way, but Bizzarre Creations had the foresight to also make it an Xbox LIVE Arcade title.
Awesome! I already have Orta on my Xbox's HDD, & though I have Zwei on my saturn I didn't have PD1, so sweet to find out this sweet ass hack!
Awesome! Thanks, man! Great videos you post
Wow, great video! Gonna try this tonight!
I picked up TMNT2: Battle Nexus and TMNT3: Mutant Nightmare specifically for the unlockables, thinking I'd finally have arcade perfect ports of 2 of my favorite arcade games of all time on a console with 4 controllers at the ready. I was crushed to discover the changes made. It had something to do with licensing, I read. Bummer, dude.
this is true. For some reason Konami wasn't able to acquire the music rights to the original soundtrack, not to mention the original voice works which is a shame because in TMNT 1989, there's very notable clips of James Avery (a.k.a. Uncle Phil) as Shredder.
You are my og xbox fucking sensei master. A true king among men.
I only have ever returned one game in my entire life and that was the TMNT 3 Mutant Nightmare game. I purchased and slogged through the first section of that game purely for the unlock of the arcade version of Turtles in Time, but the bastardized version they had of it in there filled me with the purest of disgust that I didn't even want to own it anymore. I hear that the Battle Nexus unlock of TMNT Arcade is even more fucked up.
Not really an unlockable, but if you have the start-up disc for the Xbox Live Arcade, it has Ms. Pac-Man on it ready to play.
Cool about ms pacman in there, what disc look like?
@@rustymixer2886 I think it just says Xbox Live Arcade on the disc, but pretty sure the slip-cover has Ms. Pac on it (may also be on the disc too). I forget all the ways the disc was distributed, I know it came bundled with Forza 2 (dont remember if it was on same disc or separate), Pretty sure it came as a pack-in with some consoles and I even think it may have been a freebie given away at certain retailers. (not 100% sure on that)
@@mr.vidjagamez9896 awesome thx you like forza 1 better 2?
