Man, I used to watch this video a long time ago, dreaming that I could eventually get an original Xbox. Things have changed a lot since then. (Yes, I did get my Xbox about a year ago)
It doesn't seem to matter what appears of video's like this, whatever the subject, you'll always get some moaner wanting to do it down, 'it's old hat' etc, why bother? Well there many late to the game and many other tutorials are difficult to follow for one reason or another, or simply too annoying. So, shut up with the negative vibes, these are brilliantly displayed, simple to follow videos, with actual links that work. So personally, many thanks for all your efforts, I see there are comments relatively recently, hence why I have added mine, great stuff (especially when the camera was stabilized) just joking, but I found them really helpful and I'll set about working on the 3 or 4 consoles I picked up on ebay for peanuts - good work my friend and good luck
Great video, you made it very clear how to do the softmod. I thought I should mention though that you should never place a disc down with the label side down unless you have applied a protector to your disc Once the label is scratched the whole disc becomes useless, but if you place it shiny side down and scratch it you can almost always have the scratch polished out and restore the disc. Thanks for the video, 5 stars
Tony Waldron CD had this problem beacause the data was just pressed from the top onto the bottom layer of the disc so the only protection for the data was the top label, DVD was different it's data was sandwiched between a top and bottom layer of the disc, Xbox and PS2 used the DVD format not CD so didn't really matter if the top layer got scratched, the data was still protected in the middle.
Thanks for the tutorial! Still worked well in 2018 and i got it running at the first try! I was also lucky twice, the Xbox i got was already on dashboard 5960 and the first USB stick i tried that i already had lying around worked for me so i ordered 3 more USB sticks on Amazon for no reason lol. Next step for me will be to get a bigger HDD working so i have enough room for games. Thanks again and have fun playing around everyone ;)
Lol I miss my Xbox. My dad bought it for me for my 7th birthday... About 11 years ago. I loved that thing. When I was about 13, sometime around 2010-11, I softmodded my Xbox and even upgraded to a 40GB HDD. However, for some reason, the Ethernet port got damaged and the orange LED would stay on even though there was no cable plugged in. I couldn't load games through FTP since i couldn't connect it to my network. I ultimately just left it there to collect dust, and got rid of it about 2 years ago. I kind of regret doing that, but it didn't really work anymore. I also remember about the HDD and Motherboard key. Oh, how I hated that thing. We spent an entire Summer trying to build an EEPROM reader and getting the correct dash files.
+Jose Javier Flores I still have a hulk acrylic version and normal black version sitting in my cupboard.. only issue with the hulk one is with the AC adapter it makes lovely pop sounds if moved around
A little tip for those having problems finding a compatible usb: try getting a hold of a microsd memory stick, and connect it to the dongle via a microsd to usb adaptor. It will be a lot cheaper and easier to get a hold of the adapter and an old microsd than an older usb flash drive (as probably mentioned, newer flash drives don't seem very xbox friendly). I'll reply to this comment if something comes up.
Got a NEAR MINT, barely used Xbox with owner's manuals and 4 controllers on craigslist for $50 today! I'm probably going to do this, looks fun, thanks for the vid! Something recent :)
It's really easy to softmod the xbox. There are tons of tutorials out there. The trickiest part is finding a compatible USB stick. Had to buy a San Disk Cruzer Blade, because all of my USB sticks weren't compatible.
Hi, great video Gradinkov. I have a problem though. The XBOX doesn't detect the Softmod installer and Splinter Cell files. It does see the USB though. I tried everything, even another XBOX, but nothing works. Help is appreciated :)
I can confirm, that this still works in 2017. There are some small issues with Xplorer360 on Windows 10, but it's easy to solve by downloading and copying msvcr71.dll into Xplorer360 folder/location
Thanks for the guide, subscribed and liked. How have you managed to get such a nice vibrant picture on your Xbox. I have the same TV as you, are you going through component, scart of some kind of upscaler such as the xrgb mini?
Hello can you tell me if that process is reversible ? After the softmod made can i erase it and return to the original state (interface and settings) ?
hi there do i need fifa 2005 to update my dashboard its k.1.00.4817.03 also the second dashboard number is k 1.005959.03 can it soft modded it that made sence help would be great cheers
I remember this. My cousine borrowed Splinter Cell from one of his friends so we could softmodd my xbox. I also remember that we used some kind of tool on the pc so we could play Halo online.
hey guys. i'm having a problem when trying to re- exploit my xbox. I had my box softmodded before, but I accidentally installed an xbox live update for one of the games I had. so now when I try to load my splinter cell exploit save, it shows a white screen, then just resets the game. it can't even get to the softmod installer menu. if ANYONE has an idea of what might be going on, please let me know. ( It's an xbox V1.1, if that's any help)
I did everything on this video up the very end and the screen went black. now, it's stuck on xbox live screen and i can't do anything. When i put Splinter Cell back in, it starts opening screen but I get an orange light around eject button. is there anyway to fix this?
For anyone on Win 7 and xplorer 360 is not working; 1. Find an XP computer, beg borrow or steal or install xp on old vista laptop, (mine had a smashed screen and no battery) 2. Download Datels Action replay, search "action replay software",install (XP) 3. Download Datels Action replay 1.4 update again search, this time it will be the official supplier, "codejunkies", install (XP) DO NOT RUN ACTION REPLAY 4. Download USB View, again search "USBVIEW" 5. Get 5.1 files, and format usb by plugging into xbox 6. Run USBView (either computer), find xbox usb, plug in, plug out, to find usb, now make a note of the Product ID number and the Vendor ID Number you need last 4 characters of each. 7. Go to Action Replay directory go to new 1.4 should be labelled "Action Replay XBOX" not xbox. 8. Open driver folder and open sys. file, scroll down until you come across entries for a list of authorized usbs, edit anyone of them to your Pid and Vid, first is best. 9. Go to device manager, find usb driver of xbox memory card, put in, take out, to see clearly, right click it usually under (usb mass storage), click update driver, click no dont search, click no i have disk, go to Datel - Action Replay XBOX - Drivers - click on system file changed earlier, windows will say unsigned, click install anyway. 10. Run Action Replay 1.4 and with memory card jacked, and drag and drop files straight to the memory card, DO NOT UNZIP EXPLOITS, JUST THE 5.1. INSTALLER, transfer the needed zip files onto the card (drag and drop) 11. Follow the rest of the tutorial. Any questions message me, I know its complex but it is a work around, Xplorer 360, Xport, FatExplorer and Datel do not function correctly on my windows 7 and many others it seems.
my flash drive isnt showing up in xlporer360. i have already formated it with the xbox but when i plug the flash drive into my computer it buffers and then dosnt ask to reformate and dosnt show up anywhere
Great tutorial's pt1 to pt4, thanks. Two quick questions, is the installation of xbmc the same process as shown in this video and can you still use the dual boot method with xbmc. Also when you choose the high def option, do you need an hd composite cable or will it still work with a standard av cable? Thanks!
Hello Lee, 1. Yes, the installation is pretty much identical if you go with XBMC. If you haven't softmodded your Xbox already, then you're all set, you can go and install the XBMC version (SID511.Installer.USB.zip), BUT if you have already applied the non-XBMC installer (SID511.Installer.zip), you need to remove it first via the Softmod Installer Deluxe menu "Remove Softmod", and only THEN use the XBMC installer, otherwise you'll brick your Xbox! I learned this the hard way :D 2. No, HD won't work with a standard AC able, sorry.
Thanks for your comments, they helped me a lot. I think a good suggestion for a follow up xbox tutorial, would be to show how to uninstall the Unleash X softmod and then install the xbmc usb softmod in it's place. This would be useful for people who want to clone the orginal HDD and replace the HDD with an increased capacity. Thanks again!
For me it freezes after checkpoints. Gives me a black screen and the led light is flashing between orange, red and green. Tried two usb drives, both are recognized by xbox.
when I have my Xbox plugged into a HD TV the picture is very blurry, maybe my softmod is bad version, however I am just wanting to know how you got such clear picture on what looks like a HD TV.
Ok i have like 6 USB sticks here an none of them works. Where can i get a compatible USB stick from in 2015??? As all the ones ive looked at on the compatibility list for this mod are like 32MB or 256MB.....you just cant get this USB sticks anymore??
BlockABoots They are VERY hard to find. I had to buy a memory card with the hack already on it. If I was at home I'd send it to you for a nominal fee. I paid $30 for mine on ebay because I was very impatient. The key is to look for a FAT32 stick no more than 2 GB. Here's a list from users that is known to work. www.biline.ca/xbox_flash_list.htm
jrgs906 I actually had success with a SanDisk 4GB micro SD card and used a micro SD card USB reader!!. Apparently micro SD cards and USB reader combos are the way to go
I have a sandisk Cruzer Glide 4gb and its not reconizing after i format it on the xbox then plug it into the computer after opening xplorer 360 it doesn't find anything so where can i find a flash drive that will work
When hitting the "harddrive or memcard" I get a message saying " could not find a FATX drive to open",,,,,, I ran it as administrator but that didn't help so what should I do?
My Xbox was softmodded , i even change the HDD , with bigger , with emulators and games . I give it to my friend to play some games , but he try to play Splinter Cell from the original disk. After that.. i dont know what he do but.. the console come back to original dashboard and version and now... i can't soft-mod again.. I do all steps for softodding with Splinter Cell , what i do it before .... but.. after pressing " GAMES START > LINUX >CHECK POINTS " nothing happen ..just the game boot again ..... any ideas ?
this is the problem im having.. the xbox sees the usb formats and erases it.. i am now able to put saves on the drive from the xbox.. i put the files on the usb using 360 xplorer.. but the xbox doesn't see the files... but it sees the usb .. lt lets me customize the usb.. but no files
I found my old Xbox the other day, and I found this video (among others) online on how to softmod the unit. I followed all the steps to obtain the files (from the link on this video), I put the files on a thumb drive, and was able to successfully copy the files onto the hard drive of the Xbox. From there, I inserted a copy of Splinter Cell (the original, not the platinum). I get to the start screen, I select "Start Game" and then I select the "Linux" Profile. Now here's where the process stops working - I then select "Check Points" and upon doing so, the screen goes black (no sound, no picture) and the light on my Xbox turns from Green to Orange. I have tried this process over and over several times (deleting the files from the Hard Drive before attempting it), and I get the same result each time. Can anyone please tell me how to solve this problem, or let me know what I may be doing wrong? I would really like to softmod my Xbox and run XBMC on it. ThanksNOTE: I used the SID 5.11.Installer.USB file and the SID 5.11.Installer file on separate occasions to see if I got a different result, and both give me the same result every time.
Has anyone had any issues after putting the files on the usb not showing up on the xbox. The Xbox still sees the drive but when i go to copy the files there is nothing there.
please help... i soft moded to xbmc and deleted files by mistake now the i turn on my xbox it wont load the menu and i cant reboot. or re-soft mod again... please help
Hi your tutorials are very good and have inspired me to softmod my Xbox I don't like the unleashed dashboard you installed and prefer XBMC How do I get this and get he Xbox to boot straight to it please?
I got to the stage were it asks for the reboot. I removed the disk and closed the tray. Now all I get is a black screen, the xbox is powered on. I decided to choose the XBMC option because I wanted to play movies on it. What do I do now? Is my XBOX BRICKED? Need help ASAP.
Stephen Donnelly He Said If You Didn't Get The Disk Out Fast Enough To Just Re Start And It Would Finish Installing??I Didn't Get That Problem But I Hope Its Working For You,I Had A Hell Of A Time But Mine All Good Now.Make Sure Alls Plugged In And Reboot,I Hope It Works For You!!
@Dylan Douglas for whatever reason I can't reply to your comment directly. So if you mean the part from the 8th minute, I used a screen recorder software called OBS (obsproject dot com), it's free :)
Gtacod 114 Modifying you xbox illegally to add homebrew (not from xbox) apps without the use of hardware modification. You're using software to hack. If you don't know the difference between hardware and software well then I can't help you.
So the part where in Xplorer360 I select Drive and then Harddrive or Memcard I get the message "Could not find a FATX drive to open!" Any advice on how to resolve this?
What I need to know, and cannot find info about is, can a system that is only software modified, (not modchipped), have the Ram Chips upgraded and or CPU upgraded, and how I can go about doing it. Some say yes, and say I need a specific BIOS, but they never tell me where to find it, or how to go about installing it. I would also like to know if any kind of Ram or CPU upgraded can be done to the Xbox 1.6's with the Xcalibur chip, or is the RAM/CPU upgrades only made to work on the 1.0-1.5 systems due to the change in the motherboard on the 1.6 Xbox consoles. Thanks!
no in order to up grade ram and cpu you need a linux bios, it will never play xbox games or run dashboard again it will be just a pentium linux pc with 128 megs of ram, also the guys who did this wrecked loads of motherboards doing it, even electrical engineers its not easy and it wont ever run xbox stuff, someone about ten years ago claimed he had upgraded to 1.4 pentium and 256 megs of ram, and also claimed it played xbox games, but all others who modded them said that was total fiction, and when pushed for proof the user deleted his account, dont bother its a waste of time.
Mate, if you could do this without the original game I wouldn't have said that you need the original game ;) No, unfortunately you do need an original copy for this to work.
true noobient, even a flashed drive that plays backups is no good, since back ups of the 3 games dont work tried it, we even tried to build a rom image with the game save built in back in the day, could only ever get it to run on hard modded units, which is kind of pointless.
hey guys please help i baught an original xbox with a xenium mod chip that seems installed fine and booted the hard disk once but it made horrible noise and i presume the HDD is burnt out/unuseable. can someone tell me where to find stock software or how to format a hdd with a pc for the xbox?? I don't think i can install or boot any bios if I don't get a drive formated for xenium. PLEASE anyone let me know!
softmodded xbox it was easy enough I notice the power light stays orange.Want to know can do the softmod with the green limited edition original Xbox? or only just the original black version?
Man, I used to watch this video a long time ago, dreaming that I could eventually get an original Xbox. Things have changed a lot since then.
(Yes, I did get my Xbox about a year ago)
Aww, good memories. Especially that awesome boot up animation. Way better than today's for sure.
It's nice, but that classic PS1 bootup, tho.
Duh, I hate you now. Just listened to it, and just... duh, I miss those times. ruclips.net/video/DIxUScfOQwg/видео.html

probably just nostaligia but in ways yah

Xbox original is just so magical, so mysterious.
It doesn't seem to matter what appears of video's like this, whatever the subject, you'll always get some moaner wanting to do it down, 'it's old hat' etc, why bother? Well there many late to the game and many other tutorials are difficult to follow for one reason or another, or simply too annoying. So, shut up with the negative vibes, these are brilliantly displayed, simple to follow videos, with actual links that work. So personally, many thanks for all your efforts, I see there are comments relatively recently, hence why I have added mine, great stuff (especially when the camera was stabilized) just joking, but I found them really helpful and I'll set about working on the 3 or 4 consoles I picked up on ebay for peanuts - good work my friend and good luck
Sexiest dashboard ever done in history.
Lorenzo Rozelnox I would buy an Xbox one if they brought back this dashboard. Dead fucking serious.
Lorenzo Rzlnx ii
Idk the 360 OG dashboard was also seen asf
Great video, you made it very clear how to do the softmod.
I thought I should mention though that you should never place a disc down with the label side down unless you have applied a protector to your disc Once the label is scratched the whole disc becomes useless, but if you place it shiny side down and scratch it you can almost always have the scratch polished out and restore the disc.
Thanks for the video, 5 stars
Tony Waldron how to use net in this xbox
Tony Waldron CD had this problem beacause the data was just pressed from the top onto the bottom layer of the disc so the only protection for the data was the top label, DVD was different it's data was sandwiched between a top and bottom layer of the disc, Xbox and PS2 used the DVD format not CD so didn't really matter if the top layer got scratched, the data was still protected in the middle.
I really like your tutorials! Nice work and thank you for taking your time to do these videos.
Whoa, I just checked out the automatic captions, it's hilarious :D
True, it makes no sense. It makes a funny video funnier.
noobient hi i have a xbox and need a cd room to hd to palyer my x box rackr
noobient it works with midnight club dub edition remix right?
The platinum Hits version of splinter cell works for Softmodding your original Xbox
That is a NICE TV!
Thanks for the tutorial! Still worked well in 2018 and i got it running at the first try! I was also lucky twice, the Xbox i got was already on dashboard 5960 and the first USB stick i tried that i already had lying around worked for me so i ordered 3 more USB sticks on Amazon for no reason lol.

sorry to hear that
+Jose Javier Flores You could've hot swapped it and transferred files via xplorer360. Risky, but possible.
+Jose Javier Flores I still have a hulk acrylic version and normal black version sitting in my cupboard.. only issue with the hulk one is with the AC adapter it makes lovely pop sounds if moved around
BEST INSTRUCTION YET :) will try this tomorrow
Best tutorial of this process online for sure. Worked for me.
3:22 :,)

EEEEEEE
Nice dude I love OG Xbox videos. Regret selling mine but I love my 360 playing games like JSRF cannot be beaten.
yours are the best tutorials i've found out so far! I'll bother you with some questions of course! thanks...greetings from Italy! ;)
A little tip for those having problems finding a compatible usb: try getting a hold of a microsd memory stick, and connect it to the dongle via a microsd to usb adaptor.

back when there were cool boot screens, and no RROD
Thanks Gradinkov you got my xbox softmodded nice and easily

"lets just..."
*"E"*
"...eject the disk"
It's really easy to softmod the xbox. There are tons of tutorials out there.
The trickiest part is finding a compatible USB stick. Had to buy a San Disk Cruzer Blade, because all of my USB sticks weren't compatible.
2016 and just modded using your videos. super easy if you follow what you see to the letter! Thanks!!
Hi, great video Gradinkov. I have a problem though.
The XBOX doesn't detect the Softmod installer and Splinter Cell files. It does see the USB though. I tried everything, even another XBOX, but nothing works. Help is appreciated :)
I would suggest to use XBMC dashboard over UnleashX/EvolutionX
I can confirm, that this still works in 2017. There are some small issues with Xplorer360 on Windows 10, but it's easy to solve by downloading and copying msvcr71.dll into Xplorer360 folder/location
Just google "msvcr71.dll download" and you will find it.
I try my old ipod shuffle 4gen 4gb (the one with no buttons) and the usb start rigth away :D
yes 4 gb ipod nanos up to gen 3 work too, but you have to know how to rebuild the ipod software if you want to use it as an ipod again.
Thanks for the guide, subscribed and liked. How have you managed to get such a nice vibrant picture on your Xbox. I have the same TV as you, are you going through component, scart of some kind of upscaler such as the xrgb mini?

Hello can you tell me if that process is reversible ? After the softmod made can i erase it and return to the original state (interface and settings) ?

TeknoRider Yeah, xlink kai sounds familiar.
Hi,I'm trying to help a friend with a softmodded xbox. Do you know how they can a regular game? Do they just insert a game and select launch dvd?
yes, that is what you do, pressing launch game will start the game in the disc drive (sorry, im 8 months late lol)

Great guide, helped me out loads. Huge thanks 👍
Thanks for video! I'm soon gonna buy an Orginal xbox on ebay and the parts for softmoding :)!
Good luck, mate!
Thx bro!
annnnd i still havent bought one xD
i finally bought one now xD
if the xbox had the xbox live on menu theres no need to upgrade the xbox, only need the savehacks and splinter cell game to softmod the xbox
I have the Sony Micro Vault Click 8GB. It seems to be an older flash drive but it am concerned about the space being too high.
All versions of splinter cell work
my flash drive isnt showing up in xlporer360. i have already formated it with the xbox but when i plug the flash drive into my computer it buffers and then dosnt ask to reformate and dosnt show up anywhere

No worries, I've subscribed to your channel so I will keep an eye out for it at some point in the future. Thanks for your replies!
For me it freezes after checkpoints. Gives me a black screen and the led light is flashing between orange, red and green. Tried two usb drives, both are recognized by xbox.

but the xbox doesn't see the files...
but it sees the usb .. lt lets me customize the usb.. but no files
still have 2 (black&translucent) hardmodded with build in chip and hdd
I found my old Xbox the other day, and I found this video (among others) online on how to softmod the unit. I followed all the steps to obtain the files (from the link on this video), I put the files on a thumb drive, and was able to successfully copy the files onto the hard drive of the Xbox. From there, I inserted a copy of Splinter Cell (the original, not the platinum). I get to the start screen, I select "Start Game" and then I select the "Linux" Profile. Now here's where the process stops working - I then select "Check Points" and upon doing so, the screen goes black (no sound, no picture) and the light on my Xbox turns from Green to Orange. I have tried this process over and over several times (deleting the files from the Hard Drive before attempting it), and I get the same result each time. Can anyone please tell me how to solve this problem, or let me know what I may be doing wrong? I would really like to softmod my Xbox and run XBMC on it. ThanksNOTE: I used the SID 5.11.Installer.USB file and the SID 5.11.Installer file on separate occasions to see if I got a different result, and both give me the same result every time.
Has anyone had any issues after putting the files on the usb not showing up on the xbox. The Xbox still sees the drive but when i go to copy the files there is nothing there.
And when i open xplorer360 and clicked on drrive, open, memcard. I got a message saying "Could not find a FATX drive to open" what do I do?!??
can you back up any game saves to use after the softmod? there are a few I do not want to lose
Can you copy saves on the Usb stick before deleting them?
please help... i soft moded to xbmc and deleted files by mistake now the i turn on my xbox it wont load the menu and i cant reboot. or re-soft mod again... please help
What button should I press at the "Welcome to Xbox Live" screen? A or B?
Niall Ward most possibly A
I don't have the ms back up option only the eppron back up..I bout a memory card from eBay whith splinter cell and Linux files does it matter?
My xbox turns itselfs automaticaly on when connected to power. Also shutdown not working because it restarts itself
Question does Softmod installer deluxe 5.12? fix the clock loop problem
should i back up my saves before deleting, so that i can put them back onto the hard drive after i softmod?
The files inside the usb dont show up on the xbox after following the instructions. Did I miss something?
Hi your tutorials are very good and have inspired me to softmod my Xbox
I don't like the unleashed dashboard you installed and prefer XBMC
How do I get this and get he Xbox to boot straight to it please?
Hi,i installed the XBMC version but i want to remove it to install the UnleashX.How do i remove XBMC?Thanks
I have an issue with the drag and drop. It won't let me move the file.
is it normal/typical for the XBOX to register the flash drive initially, then not accept it after the files are installed?
I saw on another video you have to have windows XP for explorer360. Is that true? It looks like you are doing this on a more updated windows.
hey. if i understood correctly the eject button is for the Custom dashboard and the Power is for the Stock MS Dashboard ?
I got to the stage were it asks for the reboot. I removed the disk and closed the tray. Now all I get is a black screen, the xbox is powered on. I decided to choose the XBMC option because I wanted to play movies on it. What do I do now? Is my XBOX BRICKED? Need help ASAP.
Stephen Donnelly He Said If You Didn't Get The Disk Out Fast Enough To Just Re Start And It Would Finish Installing??I Didn't Get That Problem But I Hope Its Working For You,I Had A Hell Of A Time But Mine All Good Now.Make Sure Alls Plugged In And Reboot,I Hope It Works For You!!
Is it necessary to delete all saves on the hard drive to do this? Asking because I would have to restart everything from scratch.
@Dylan Douglas for whatever reason I can't reply to your comment directly. So if you mean the part from the 8th minute, I used a screen recorder software called OBS (obsproject dot com), it's free :)
Whats softmodding????
Gtacod 114 Modifying you xbox illegally to add homebrew (not from xbox) apps without the use of hardware modification. You're using software to hack. If you don't know the difference between hardware and software well then I can't help you.
ok thanks bro
Gtacod 114 No prob let me know if u got more questions I'm usually quick to reply. Good luck and have fun if you're gonna mod!
+jrgs906 softmodding isn't illegal
Hello. I would like to know how you made your xbox picture on the entire screen of your tv. Thanks:)
i owned an unmodded machine - never dumping that. And i played a modded 1 certain it had a custom background.
Was basically pc so a hackers dream.
When updating the Dashboard, do you HAVE to be connected through ethernet? Or can I have it unplugged because I do not have internet lol
So the part where in Xplorer360 I select Drive and then Harddrive or Memcard I get the message "Could not find a FATX drive to open!" Any advice on how to resolve this?
Nice video,which cable uses to see in HD?
Check out part 3 for that, you need an "HD cable for the Xbox" for 720p to work.
What I need to know, and cannot find info about is, can a system that is only software modified, (not modchipped), have the Ram Chips upgraded and or CPU upgraded, and how I can go about doing it. Some say yes, and say I need a specific BIOS, but they never tell me where to find it, or how to go about installing it.
I would also like to know if any kind of Ram or CPU upgraded can be done to the Xbox 1.6's with the Xcalibur chip, or is the RAM/CPU upgrades only made to work on the 1.0-1.5 systems due to the change in the motherboard on the 1.6 Xbox consoles. Thanks!
no in order to up grade ram and cpu you need a linux bios, it will never play xbox games or run dashboard again it will be just a pentium linux pc with 128 megs of ram, also the guys who did this wrecked loads of motherboards doing it, even electrical engineers its not easy and it wont ever run xbox stuff, someone about ten years ago claimed he had upgraded to 1.4 pentium and 256 megs of ram, and also claimed it played xbox games, but all others who modded them said that was total fiction, and when pushed for proof the user deleted his account, dont bother its a waste of time.
When i installed on a second Xbox, I got a triple image on my dash and in games. I can't pin it down.
hi is the light meant to be orange in the end?
if change the hard drive 20gb fix this problem error 16
i have another hard drive 80gb
Are you using component cables on your pal Xbox?
I want to play my games in progressive scan, is this possible?
Thankyou in advance
Freddy's Jeugdsentiment PAL Xboxs don't support 480p to my knowledge. You'll have luck with a NTSC-U Xbox.
*you can buy component cables in Hong Kong or Japan on your next holiday dude as they DON'T sell them in Europe*
does a SanDisk 8gb cruzer slide thumb drive work?
can you soft mod a xbox if you don´t have a dvd drive? i got one whit lasor problem..
That doesn't matter.The games go on harddrive.As long you have the program ready to go in the xbox dont know why it should not work
sd card 1gb work only can copy Splinter cell , installer - copy filed ??
hey bro can i do this whithout the original game ?
Mate, if you could do this without the original game I wouldn't have said that you need the original game ;) No, unfortunately you do need an original copy for this to work.
true noobient, even a flashed drive that plays backups is no good, since back ups of the 3 games dont work tried it, we even tried to build a rom image with the game save built in back in the day, could only ever get it to run on hard modded units, which is kind of pointless.
hey guys please help i baught an original xbox with a xenium mod chip that seems installed fine and booted the hard disk once but it made horrible noise and i presume the HDD is burnt out/unuseable. can someone tell me where to find stock software or how to format a hdd with a pc for the xbox?? I don't think i can install or boot any bios if I don't get a drive formated for xenium.
PLEASE anyone let me know!
i believe you can jsut replace the hd with another ide hd for teh xbox
wait did microsoft bring xbox live back on original xbox
Xplorer360: tool wii not let me drag and drop. getting a fatx error, what can i do to get the files over
Hi mate, my best suggestion is to try with a different thumb drive, from what I understand this is purely a trial-n-error procedure, sorry.
I have Mechassault. Will I follow the same exact procedure if i use it, instead of SplinterCell?
dentedowl
Thanks man
Which pendrives with 4 GB work?

Ummm, pardon?
softmodded xbox it was easy enough I notice the power light stays orange.Want to know can do the softmod with the green limited edition original Xbox? or only just the original black version?
That's a good question mate, you tell me ;) I see no reason for it not to work, but you can never know...
I have soft modded a special halo green edition Xbox they will work fine :)
what flash drive did you use
Could you still play/make new saves for 007 and splinter cell? Hope they dont just become "one use" discs.
Will Settle yes
