So who else here has modded an XBox?

[personman]

I think mine turned out halfway decent.
THANK YOU HEATHER FRYMARKER FOR MY JEWEL! IT ROCKS!
Ahh. It appears my images are just a little too big (819 x 614 and the limit is 800 x 600) so if someone will resize these for me I would appreciate it.. I dont have photoshop or anything..
Meanwhile I have them on a geocities website but thats not going to last long with the limited bandwith and all.. anyway here you go:

lol. it's already down and i'm the first person to view this thread.

[personman]

Its kind of sad isnt it?
I guess no appreciates how many times I got burned with the soldering iron trying to make this durn thing

[behemoth]

you couldnt have boughten a solder less one?

I just got the Halo limited edition XBOX. That makes my second green game system. The other one is the jungle edition N64.


Watch for the new conkers game on XBOX Conker:live & uncut. Yes its on live and it should be out this year.

They were out of stock everywhere, and you dont get as secure of a connection.

I actually jsut bought an xbox off ebay, and I'm shopping around for mod chips as I type. The one I think I'm going to get is 60 bucks, is solderless, and comes with an on-off switch so you cna bypass it to run the x-box on live. Couple that with the new harddrive I'm going to put in it and I'm thinking it'll be a fun little toy.

[behemoth]

i just bought the green halo one too, but its gonna be hard to find matcing controllers

hey, run linux on it

[Dr.3vil]

resized and host on my site, lmk if to many pics for the thread

[personman]

Thanks Dr. 3vil.

FiRe, I would put linux on it but righht now it only has a 60 gig hard drive in it and the xbox only says its like 30 gigs ( I dont know whY? ) so im saving space. I might get a 120 gig later on and put linux on it for the hell of it though. I need to get a keyboard and mouse hooked up to this thing

Lethargic what mod chips are you looking at? The Xecuter 3 looks VERY promising but I was just too impatiant to wait for it. I've been waiting since december for it to come out for calling out loud!

I already had a green one when I got the new XBOX so no I have two.

[Lethargic]

I was looking to get the X-ecuter 2.3 at the moment. But i know that by the time I get around to it, the 3 will be just around the corner, so I'll probably jsut wait and get that.

Here's the one I was looking at:

Oh yes you can. I have a Chameleon in my Xbox, its great. I used to use the Enigma modchips (back in the day) to mod peoples Xboxes (mostly for friends) but now I use the Chameleon. I haven't had any problems with it, and I like being able to have multipule bioses on it. The 30 wires that had to be soldered onto the xbox motherboard got tiring after a while .

My Xbox has a Chameleon, an 80 gig seagate barracuda, and a samsung dvdrom.

Personman, your xbox probably says that it only has 30 gigs because thats just one of the partitions, check the size of every partition. It should only use up a couple gigs for its own junk. Depending on the distro of linux you choose to instal (+ programs on top of that), that will only take up 200-1000 megs. If you choose to do that, make/buy a usb to xbox adapter or two (for mouse and keyboard). I chose to make one.

Lethargic: Thats exactly what I was saying 5 months ago


Fixion:
Well I was referring more to the Xecuter pogo pin deal. Im not sure why I decided to go xecuter but I did it early on and stuck with them. Most people said the lite + deal wouldnt be that secure.. and they werent instock anywhere, and they were also a good $20 more than the lite, so I just went with lite.
For some reason the LPC header deal diddnt work at all.. I fooled around with it, then I just yanked the durn thing off with a pair of pliers (thouroughly destroying it in the process, man did that feel good) and did the wired connection in like 2 seconds.

I'm thinking I might have gotten ripped on the hard drive. I bought it off of ebay.. oh well. I know about the partition crap, but even with the partitions it doesnt add up to anywhere near 60 gigs. Oh well its not that big of a deal. And honestly what is the point of putting linux on an xbox? So you can have a portable computer or somethingg? Cant you do that with a laptop?
I guess it's just the coolness factor.

[Fixion]

The Chameleon uses a very similar pogopin interface, if not the same thing.

Linux on the Xbox can be useful if you want it to hold your mp3s and play movies (although other xbox software does that too). But I think its just the coolness factor that its running linux. Its also a slap in the face of M$. I run linux (only) on my laptop and dual boot my other computers (debian). So I really have no reason to put it on my xbox.
