| Can I run MAME/Emulators off a modded XBOX? |

In one of the first couple videos Degenetrons shows you how he powers it all on without the optical drive. I think he said he used the soft-mod method on the xbox itself though to run coinops. I would watch all the videos like Sharpfork recommends. They are very informative not only in using the xbox in an arcade cabinet, but on the actual construction of a cabinet itself. Even if you don't plan on building your own cab, at least watch the first few that cover the xbox portion. |

It looks a lot simpler while still giving me the options of computer monitor or arcade monitor. Are there any videos how to hard mod the xbox like that? I assume he's hard modding since he disconnected the optical drive. --- End quote --- It's a soft-modded xbox in my video. I removed the PCB from the optical drive and connected that to the xbox mobo so xbox believes the drive is still there. This is an optional step, but useful if you want to free up some space in a bartop. |

Wow, couldn't ask for a better reply than an answer from the video creator, thanks man. For some reason I thought softmod meant running from a disc, not software on the hard drive. Thanks for the info, I'll be modding my XBOX tonight. So standby for more questions :lol Thanks everyone! |

UPDATE: I've purchased a "Datel Max XBOX Action Replay" kit for $63.00 on Amazon. Guess it has everything I need to softmod my xbox. I found an original copy of splinter cell (nonplatinum) in the break room at work, I'm sure nobody will mind me *borrowing* it. I've started downloading 'CoinOPS 5 Full-"CoinOPS 5.part140.rar"' on UseNeXT for a total download size of 51.3 GB. Should be done some time... this weekend... I'm stopping by a computer component store to pick up a 100GB HDD with a 40-pin connector since all I have is SATA HDDs. Does it sound like I'm on the right track? |
