Modded XBOX
I can see you really want a Modded XBOX so I would go for it I guess. Ask him if he can lower the price alitte.
I don't know much either, but 250 sounds decent. 200gb HDD is not bad and it's already modded. If you want it I'd say go for it.
Yea that sounds like an awesome deal. Tell us how it works out then.
Off topic but is it harder to mod an Xbox then an XB360? Also who here put Linux on there Xbox? I told my uncle about how he can play Nes on an Xbox. He was telling me he wants to play SMB but doesn't want to go buy a Nes, as the prices are not cheap for a Nes there. Is it safe to put Linux on an Xbox?
You can't mod a 360, there are DVD firmware hacks, but no full-on mod chips or anything.
I'm absolutely positive he'll spend less on an NES and a copy of SMB/DH than he will on an Xbox, a mod chip, and the hassle of getting it set up. Please use common sense.
Also, to everyone who says "X360" or "XB360" if you're too lazy to type Xbox, Just say 360. it's a gaming forum, everyone knows that 360 = Xbox 360.
omg how u tll m nt 2 use abrvtns.

But would it not be easier to put Linux on the XBOX, then going online and buying a Mod Chip? And then opening your XBOX and then installing the Mod chip? Too bad you can just Burn it to a CD-R a certain way and play it like on the DreamCast, too bad you couldn't do that on a XBOX, Oh well I guess. Also $70CDN for one of those Complete Action or something Nes system there. I did not get a chance to see the price's of used Xbox's there but it's $109CDN at some Pawn Shops, Also he has an Xbox.. Is it hard installing Mod Chips?
I'm sure it's not too difficult, but I'm lazy and would rather have someone do it for me.
I really like the layout they added for the Xbox, 360 one nice. Also I was on that site and saw a list of games, XBOX ones and I think it said 0.1KB besaide there names, Are they the real Games? If so how did they shrink the file so small? Or are they Game Saves?
In order to run Linux, the box needs to be modded first. There are ways of getting a dash on the system without chips and hardware modifications, but it is extremely risky.
It's called "soft modding". Apparently certain XBOX games (like 'Splinter Cell' and 'Mech Assault') allow temporary FTP access through exploits.
XBOX uses a unique ISO system that Microsoft developed to read games. It's pretty much fool-proof without modding, and even then most burnt games won't load (<-experience).
Plus most XBOX games won't even fit on a CD-R. This is why a hard drive upgrade is handy.
larger.
I installed the latest version of 'XBOX Media Center' with the new MC360 layout. It's "awesoime"!
(Note: XBOX games' file sizes.)
Not only does the new XBMC improve the look, but functionality as well. Highly recommended.
