Say hello to free Xbox games

bobcat · 01-28-2003, 10:02 PM

My friend got his Xbox modded so that you can copy Xbox games on your Hard Drive. You have to buy a 5400 RPM IDE (I think IDE) drive and get your Xbox modded. Reason why 5400 RPM is coz it produces less energy (hence less heat).

I'm getting a 120GB HDD. I hope the mod allows you to defrag your drive though. But yeh it works

In other words you're too cheap to support an industry that supplies you with endless hours of entertainment...

Hopefully your Xbox will fight back, overheat, and light your carpet on fire

LOL. Xbox fighting for justice

I wonder what Bill thinks.

...........well.... honestly, you should be ashamed of yourself.

Eh I don't know what to think. I own a modded Xbox and use MAME-X a lot....

Not really. It's gaming online. I've already experienced it with my Pc. Counter Strike, Warcraft, Diablo etc.

Microsoft don't have Xbox Live here yet in Australia yet and god knows when we are getting it.

Let's c. 5 Xbox games @ $99 each. That's about $500. The mod costs me $300.

There's a saving

You shouldn't blame me. Simply follow the below bullets:-

* Firstly you should blame Microsoft for their console design and giving hackers the most obvious form of rorting the XBox (a hard drive and PC built architecture).

* Secondly you should blame the hackers themselves for coming up with this idea. A console that was just screaming out "hack me" for hackers

* Thirdly you should blame the government for the high prices of modern living in this day and age (well in Sydney anyway)

* Fourthly my boss. He needs to give me a payrise

* Then finally blame me, for being a person who wishes to save thousands of dollars at the expense of Microsoft and games developers who are a billion times richer than me.

Oh and I have tiles. It gets too hot in the summer for carpet.

Hate to tell you this but i have been using my modded xbox on live for over 6 weeks now and i get no problems at all with it. Infact any 3rd gen Mod chip works fine with Xbox live.

Chips like the X-ecuter2 and Xodus/Matrix work just fine with xbox live!

Jonbo298 · 01-29-2003, 07:45 AM

They work fine now, but if MS finds a way to block any modded XBox's from using Live in the future, what will you do then? You can't really call and bitch to MS since they will just say "It's modded, we can't do anything about it

". I've heard that the mod chips override the flash memory and if MS releases a patch that checks to make sure the flash memory is correct and if its not, they can say no, no, little billy

Nope time for you to read up alittle m8! X-ecuter2 and most other 3rd gen mod chips do not add anying to the Xboxs bios the by pass it. And they have a switch to turn them off and lets face it, if there is no power going to a chip that does not mod the Xbox's bios how the hell is Microsoft going to find. Yep thats right there not going to the X-ecuter2 lite 2 as been out for a long time now and Microsoft has doen nothing about it why's that do you think cuss they can't maybe.

Jonbo298 · 01-29-2003, 08:12 AM

Still, if MS does make a patch that can tell if your XBox is modded or not, what if you accidentally leave it on and go online with Live. Then MS can see your Mod, ban your XBox serial number and then your screwed until you get a normal one. But this is all theory, but more than possible to happen. Hell, you don't even need to be online and MS could check up on your XBox. As long as you have that cable in the back, MS could check up even when you're playing a non-Live game. But I might be wrong

Don't go online if you are worried that much. You are still saving a sh!tload of $$$$
