Page 1 of Xbox Chipping/Modding

Just wondering if theres any people interested in taking advantage of Xbox chipping and everything it has to offer, including playing backups, watching any movie file including DIVX/Xvid all off the internal HD of the Xbox.

If anybody has any queries about it, then please email me at ozzyo99`at`hotmail[dot]com id be very happy to help, or answer questions.

Really does open up a whole new world for the Xbox usage, especially if you enjoy movies aswell as gaming.

Cheers

Hi Jimbo

I`m considering getting mine chipped but don`t want to loose Live. I have a DivX DVD player so its only really MAME, and the Neo Geo emulators I`m interested in.

I thought that adding a hard disk would lead to an instant band but thereisn`t enough space for the normal apps & emu on the standard HDD.

I`m not interested in the dodgy game side of things, multi region gaming might be nice.

How much hassle is a mod chip to fit?
Whats the basic cost?
What are your top 4 perks of modding?
I have approx 6 soundtracks on the HDD which I replace when I`m bored of them. If I added mame etc would I have to loose the soundtracks? no one seems to know how much space an album takes up. It must be between uncompressed 700Mb and fully zipped 70Mb but where.
I like `Live` and am not sure modding will bring enough benefits I would be intersted in your comments

i got a chipped xbox and i`m playing Live fine
for me the best thing about having a chipped xbox is because i can network it to my pc
then play divx files by streaming directly through the network
no need extra hdd space, use my pcs ;)

by the way with the current modchip sold u wont get banned easily
mine is modded with xenium with 160GB hdd
great divx player with HUGE hdd space + ability to stream

come and challenge my Chokie Monsta`
cokie enjoy

I think it depends if the xbox was registered on live in march and the mod has happened since. I have been registed since the beta finished so don`t want to loose the live side of things.

What emus/progs are you playing the most?
