Modded XBox
billy_gates:
I successfully Modded my XBox.
Man it is fucking awesome.
I have the XBox Media Player that loads all of my music, pics, and videos from my Mac.
I borrowed my friend's Brute Force and copied it to the HD... took too much space though and so I copied it to my Mac and burned it to a DVD, works perfectly. (I told my friend I was stealing his Brute Force, it wasn't behind his back)
I got MAME with a shitload of ROM's
I got the original Doom on it, old school fun.
when this app called DreamiX comes out, it will add PVR.... I will pick that up along with a new HD then I will have a cheap, really awsome TiVo
Also... now my light is red instead of green, yay. (thats not a physical mod, its a setting)
All in all I am very happy
my Xbox can now run unsigned code, and no I'm not putting fucking linux on it. Its a gaming console, the only thing it will do besides game is Music, Movies, and Pics
If your interested in the exact way I set it up (its not a mod chip, I used the exploit)
I HDD Swapped it (took my like 8 hours to get it to work)
then I copied a premade package to the game save part of the HD
Loaded Mech Assault
Loaded the game
Clicked (moved joystick) to Install Audio Hack
Then I restarted with an Audio CD in and when it is supposed to be ripping the cd it loads Evolution X (replacement Dashboard)
I chose the Audio Hack instead of the Font hack because I want to be able to not be using the Hack, if i don't need it. This way its off when i want it off and on when I want it on.
After playing around with the settings I think I have worked out all of the quircks and bugs.
If any of you people here have an XBox you should do this
www.xbox-scene.com is the best resource (the forums)

in all of the places where people are discussing Xboxes there are already 100 people that have done it. By posting it here I feel special. Also, its not like everyone here doesn't have an XBox. I do. I'm member #25, I have been here for a long time, I hate MS's shitty software.
billy_gates:
i just saw the warning at the top of the page.... please don't call this a troll.
Look at it from this perspective. I am helping screw Microsoft. I can run fucking unsigned code on it. I can do whatever I want to it... OK, maybe I'm not "screwing" MS. More of a mocking. I'm laughing in their face at their shitty programming abilities. I did this all software, through holes (exploits) in their code.
I am NOT, repeate NOT trolling.
TheQuirk:
Correction. You are laughing at the game developer's coding abilities.
