Who has chipped their Xbox?
 

And was it solderless?

Tryin to find a solderless solution... got a decent speaker setup in the living room, wanna make it a media box.

Just seen this mentioned on TV a few minutes ago.

I think I might try one from here:

put a bigger hard drive in it also.

go the soilder route

I dropped mine on the linoleum and it's chipped.

I chipped my ps2 with 400 games :thumbsup

Why do you say that? Is it better for some reason?

(Glad I found this site by the way, it seems like a gold mine for people that don't know what they're doing.)

mine is chipped but it was not solderless

its not that hard anyway

i

can't handle that big complicated soldering iron?

Shrugs... I want to continue living a life where I don't feel the need to solder...

and you continue sucking lens' dick for table scraps.

To each their own.

lol

do you have this trouble with other more complicated devices too, like toasters.... water faucets.... pencils....

i chiped mine,, works great,,,, hooked up to my network works awsome

your must be taklking about the The Xecuter2 Lite mod chip it will support harddrive capacities of up to 140GB. far cry from the standard 8-10 gig. More info can be found over at Screen Savers

There's some shops in LA that sell it completely modded with an upgraded HD. Fully tested. This thing would sell well at EBAY (if they let it, that is :winkwink: )

ya... its on my cable on demand, I've watched that techtv episode a few times...

Just curious input... I'm ordering one tomorrow either way, they praise the solderless one... its easy to hook up a switch with that one too... =)

they dont...

microsoft jerks off ebay, just like sony does.

Sounds like a dorm room thing. What exactly does it turn the xbox into?

Bitch. =)

Unlocks it, so you can connect it to your network, and play any and all types of media files on it...

Beats the hell out of any media pc out there pretty much.

There really isn't a comparable product out there, for that sort of thing...

Hey there everyone, I'm new to this forum.

Just tought I would follow up on the xbox subject, having soldered mine in there,
I have a modchip (executer 2 lite), the soldering wasn't hard at all, even if you haven't soldered ever before... it will cost you 20$ and about 1 hour of practicing.
Or you could go to your local pawn shop to get it chipped which usually costs around 80$ depending on where you are...

Anyways Soldered vs No Soldering, depends, No soldering "sounds" alot easier...
but in the end you can mess up your xbox severly, with this method as you have to scratch off the first layer over the D0 connection (Where you have to solder normally)
And its only held on there by a silly little header pin, so if you jiggle your xbox or something it can A) move and disconnect B) just scratch it more and maybe break the connection...

Anyways if someone needs some help with their xbox or something let me know, I have modded many of them before, and realistically its not that hard... just have to get the big picture.

My xbox current run's :
Evox (Dashboard)
X2 (Bios)
80gig hdd, homebrew keyboard / mouse (For linux)
Has about 40 xbox games on it, and just about every other game for anything Nintendo 64 and under (nes, snes, sega, playstation).

Oh yeh, and if any of you need some coding done or some servers setup, I'm newly out of work, about 8 years of unix administration, and 5 years of php coding amongst other things, Anyways just trying to help out.

so you can play ROMs on your Xbox and use the Xbox control pad to control the games?
how easy is this to setup?

It took about 2 days...

1 day to figure everything out,

And about 1 day to transfer Every single game out there to it.

(But now that I know how to do everything, could be done in an evening, with
enough beer / substance abuse)

I mean its pretty slick, cause it will play DivX's and Mpegs, and do slideshow's
and listen to Mp3'z and whatnot, its pretty slick, so in theory you could put some
porn on your xbox.

You can watch DVD's on your xbox without buying the M$ specific dongle thingy.
Which ends up costing you more then buying a modchip or making one yourself.

Really not hard at all,
If you understand FTP at all... you won't be challenged.

If you need any more help just let me know.

Heheh, yeh here's a rom count on my xbox,
Nes : 8802 roms
Snes : 1000 roms
Genesis : 656 roms
Turbo Graphics 16 : 100 roms
Gameboy advance : 100 roms
Atari : all of them
N64 : All usa released games (297 I think)
Playstation 1 : A bunch of them on there don't remember now... But was playing final fantasy on there earlier.
And about 40 xbox games (That the xbox rips to itself when I rent them)

Oh and it will play dvd / divx / avi / mpeg / mp3'z / ogg as media as well, from dvd / cdrom / harddrive :)

Hope this helps :)

Heh.. got you beat ;-)
Add to your list:
211 xbox games (on dvd)
all c64 games
all mame games (6000+)
All Sega Master games
a ton of beatmania (dance dance) games..
bah.. plus almost every other emulator + collection out there..

and if you're like me, once you have 'em all, you might play 3 of them...

just threw a 120gb in mine today....

to the others... soldering is pretty easy.. even if you're inept...
but, the only reason to solder is so that you don't have to worry about the pin coming loose....
personally I've soldered every one I've done... I always prefer soldering..

I paid some dude a few bucks to solder mine for me, he will also mail you any game you want for $5 a piece (burned, of course)

only prob with modded box is that xbox live will ban you, so I just bought two xboxes, cuz I'm a hardcore liver

Wow. I didn't know that all this stuff was possible for a modded Xbox ( I knew about the media playing stuff and *nix, but that's about it). Time to look into the mods for my Xbox :thumbsup
