So who else here has modded an XBox?

[personman]

Well, I'm glad you have had good luck with the pogo pins. I generally prefer solid connections over that kind of stuff anyway, just because of murphy's law.
I always have really bad luck when it comes to making stuff. Whether it be modifications to a paintball gun or a xbox, something bad is bound to happen. I got really lucky on this one, and nothing REALLY bad happened, just a bunch of small things

Yea I guess linux is good for that stuff, but then again its not really worth the space.. I have xbmp but I cant figure out for the life of me how to use it though. I guess I should read a tutorial or something. Nah. Too lazy.

Anyway I suck at linux so I wouldnt be able to do anything with it anyway

hehe it looks great

[personman]

Thank you SO much Heather. I really like how it came out! And it was so cheap too

[Joni]

I can tell you as much as it's a lian-li case, larger harddrive, some chip (can't remember which), and linux installed =)

mine looks kinda the same except it glows red. Plus I have some of those cool brushed aluminum skins on the thing. bling bling

just so you all know, it is now against the rules, or atlest gungas wishes to talk about modding game systems like xbox and play station

Threads of 'backup' nature have been closed before. Whether all of them were closed, I don't know. There are a lot of threads here every day.

If he really wants to know how to mod whatever, it's easy enough to find the information. Just don't ask about it here.

How nice of you to try to be 'helpful'. But this thread was started in regards to cosmetic modifications, not 'backup' modifications (as you were asking about in your threads). Past threads regarding backing up software have been closed as well.

Additionally, you can't run Linux/PVR software/get the weather/etc on a PS2, while you can on an XBox. As I understand it, you need a modchip in order to be able to run Linux (or whatever other OS) so you can expand the functionality/uses of an XBox, which is after all, a low end PC when you get down to it.

Nowhere is there mention of 'backups' or 'copying discs' or how to duplicate copywrited material in this thread. Well, except for your post.

Actually you are way way wrong on this one, they sold for a limited time a Linux kit for the PS2 ... sold out in a couple days in Japan and came in a very limited number if I remember to the USA. Hence the reason SCE themselves runs a website dedicated to Linux on the PS2 ...

You could get the kit from Japan to use in the US, but you needed a mod chip to use it if I remember correctly.

Hell starting from the dreamcast on up you could a version of *nix running on just about any of the more modern platforms. Aside from the GC that this.

my on friend who is in the USAF has an xbox spliced with a ps2 so they can run either game from the same drive. he also installed a 120 gig hd with emulators on it so he can download any other game on the web that he can find

Fair enough. I'm more familiar with the XBox as many of my friends have em. But the PS2 doesn't have a build in HD as the XBox does.

Hmm....you think I could run Linux on my Sega Genesis?
